still, he's 85, unless he'a an Europa Universalis monarch he can't be immortal, can he? :biggrin: (plus, how do czechs fare in this german empire? much less agitations than the Italians, from what I read until now)

i guess that a religion that said "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's" is quite appealing to a ruling class, who basically gets the right to rule their subjects during their earthly life and leave them the confort of becoming God's subject...

read this today and i like it very much (except for the fact that Italy is still divided, but hey, long live the pope, i guess us Romans are happy as it is ITTL) BTW, how's unser gute Kaiser Franz Joseph? can't wait to see young Karl I of Germany on the throne without Hungary to worry about

for one thing, no Pacta Conventa and Henrician Articles, which basically undermined the King's authority in favour of the Szlachta. and of course no dynastic interaction with the Vasas, so no Potop and stuff like that. still many problem could arise, but i reckon that a surviving Jagiellon...

some of the interaction add or remove loyalty and influence, as well as some of the events

yay, great, thanks for the tip! i was trying it on the sly at work, so i couldn't try to click everything :D

got it! tried to threaten war to get a province and they answered NO. still haven't managed to put a province in my "interest list". the estates seem easy to handle if you have many provinces, if you are an OPM i guess you might make one happy but risk to get strained relations with the others

i spent last evening reading the release notes and i found several reasons to buy it as well. the "trust and favors" dynamic sounds interesting, thank god i managed to snatch the Take That, Von Habsburgs achievement before they implemented it, or i guess france would never have accepted all my...

it's Cossacks time! anyone going to buy the expansion on day one? i might :)

i had a slavic reformation in one of my games and even a tengri one, if i remember correctly. still, 20 years is a very short time for a germanic reformation, so kudos to the AI

would the dire situation push the other party echelon to cooperate? possibly, each one with the aim of getting more credit than the other for a possible victory against the Nazis. the sort of SuperPolitburo described by M79 might work well, IF any of the leaders sticks to his own field of...

aaaand then you pick Hungary, have the best campaign in a long time, getting all the Habsburgs lands in 110 years time, exit to bash in the glory of your new achievement... only to discover that Ironman mode wasn't enabled. well done! :(

yeah, that would have created conflicting loyalties in Mozza's head :D still, the Roses wouldn't have given a damn anyway, so still "Elizabeth my dear" or "Bye bye badman" ;)

...aaaaand I read all of this in the last 4 hours. great work guys. since i'm not familiar with US politics of the last fifty-sixty years, I had to stop and check the exploits IOTL of many of the politicians involved, but it was completely enjoyable. a couple of things: 1. thanks for the...

this post made me think SO MUCH of Europa Universalis IV :p
