It is what makes this game so good and why playing big empires is a bit meh. There's nothing more satisfying than starting as a small count in the middle of nowhere and then conquering territory by marrying and murdering the right people so you can build an empire without starting a single war...

I am currently playing as Galicia and I control most of Western Europe by 1300. The trick is to win the first Holy War for the Duchy of Beja. If you don't, you'll be stuck as a backwater kingdom unless you can inherit your brothers. If you do, you're suddenly the first christian power in the...

I'd suggest you start with a count or duke in Ireland or Sicily to get the hang of the game. Large empires are a pain in the ass to administrate, and even if you take precautions you will suffer one or two rebellions whenever a ruler dies. I've found out that starting as an Irish count, unifying...

This canard again. Franco didn't save jews. Spanish embassy employees did, against their superiors' orders. Being jewish was technically illegal in Spain until 1970. Franco refused to recognize Israel and sold weapons to the Arab states, the only Western state to do so. He kept ranting about...

I suppose playing the antisemitic angle when you've just joined the Allies would be kind of awkward.

I hope for your own good this timeline features spanish helicopters attacking a Vietcong base while using Torito Guapo as a psychological warfare tool. "We use El Fary. Charlie can't stand El Fary".

Yes, like 10 of them. It was Franco's way of saving face after Johnson requested Spain to send troops and he pretty much answered that he wouldn't want to touch Vietnam with a ten foot pole.

You don't get that they would want to emulate the name of one of the world's greatest teams with a naming convention that is as traditional in Spain as "United" is in England? :confused:

Franco dies before 1945, a military Junta replaces him by Don Juan de Borbón, who restores a limited democracy where socialist and communist parties are still banned.

That's not really important, because Picasso and Braque's cubist paintings from 1907-1912 were well known and were what really made an impact in the european art scene. Also Duchamp's Nude is actually more influenced by italian futurism than by cubism. I'll have a stab at it. With no Picasso...
