To help you guys wait, the official soundtrack of the game: You can get it via Torrent, or you can listen to it on Youtube. Those who pre-order can also download it from Gamersgate. "Lament for the Queen" especially as that track wont be in game. My favorite is "Buckingham Palace" I think.

Diplomatic actions are hard-coded, unlike most of the game. No removing them altogether. Of course this specific action requires some Imperial Authority you can make sure it stops without modding or cheating by knocking down the Emperor hard, by dismantling the Empire - or by becoming Emperor...

I mourn trades too :( But we'll live. Look at the French AAR :) http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=487081

I'm looking for a political map of the world at the height of Napoleonic territorial influence, but in much higher resolution than what is offered early in this thread. Ideally, one of those massive 25 meg behemoth maps in uber high res would be sweet, but Id settle for something in-between ;)...

I invite you all to check out the early AARs and the modding subforum. Already people are planning on making mods extending the timeline to 1815 after Napoleon's defeat, and my personal favourite, a mod planning on making an epic 1701-1935 mod called "Empires". Theres also Alternate History...

It is, we have MANY members over there. Many of us use the same alias, though I don't as my paradox account dates back to 10 years ago and I stopped using that Alias awhile ago. I replied to someone over there a few days ago and noticed afterwards it was Michandre. Kinda funny, the net is a...

A fair point - actually, I dont mind at all country-specific decisions, but I wish there were more... Having Japan as the sole favored-child of Civilization amongst the Uncivilized is a problem not because it favors Kyoto but because it forces many other countries who also had a fair shot at...

We have a pretty cool Victoria 1 thread. And now, we are less than 30 days away from Victoria II. As a longtime Paradox fan, I think its time we make a thread for this upcoming gem. Now, I say this despite the fact that I was horribly disappointed at the bug-ridden piece of shit that was Hearts...

The POD of not attacking Russia is one thing, but the assumption that the western allies can whoop Germany on their own is highly unplausible to me. They could hold out hoping the US would eventually help them, but if Germany doesnt attack the Soviets, the western powers will need nukes to...

You mean he would rise from his grave 50 years after his death? So the Seven Years War was actually about stealing the secrets of Lichdom from the dastardly English, it all makes sense now! :p The rest of your conclusions are spot on, though. Regarding the North American theater, France would...

As France was falling, a wacky plan was concocted by the government exiled to Bordeaux to merge France and Britain. All British and French colonies would be ruled from London, and all Frenchmen would have British citizenship and vice-versa. One of the key goals was convincing the British to stay...

I suppose if the Soviets realized Japan's potential they might accept to reduce its Eastern Europe sphere in exchange for total control over it. But theyd still demand everything that was integrated into the USSR proper (1941 borders) and Poland and Romania as buffer states, I think.

Still a no go. Britain had no means to help and protect its immensely more powerful ally in Poland, and had obviously no means at the time to help the much weaker and harder to defend Baltic states. The Royal Navy could not even enter the Baltic sea. The only way to somehow preserve part of...

The baltic states had no ability to resist invasion by either power - none whatsoever. Annexing them was no issue whatsoever. It was all about Germany and the Soviets deciding on how to split them. If you want an early conflict over their remnants, you can simply have the two powers disagree on...

Be careful when you utter such words! Some say that the ghost of Rafi has not found peace, and still haunts these halls, waiting to for the chance return, at the merest hint of Armenia-wank! There are things fate should not be tempted with :mad:

The French colonial empire is a bit light as it is in 1871; and that plan would really not fit with the "great continental power" vision of Bismark at the time, and Germany had no real navy yet, etc. This is a good reminder of what was on the table: Essentially, the colony that France had...

Indeed Im sorry, but I only read it just before my edit above, after posting the 11:47 reply. Somehow I missed it at first, err, not quite sure how. It certainly makes alot of sense now. I initially thought the unprecedented reparations could be made higher still (France DID propose to pay 10...

Luxemburg and 10 billion instead of 5 is already more than small additional gains. :) (5 billion is alot, and allowed you to build the Kiel channel for instance) The Moselle with the Iron fields to Germany and Nancy to France might seem minor in terms of extra cost to Paris (and it must be if...

Which brings us back pretty much to OTL's map, no? I really think the only parties that would care that Germany raped France's corpse are France and Great-Britain to a lesser extent. The diplomatic map where Britain was officially neutral in OTL would look worse for the CPs, but the actual war...

The Russian change is possible as long as the "Three Emperors" policies remains the onus of German diplomacy - and it was really all related to Bismark's commitment to this cause. In the long term, Russo-Austrian interests clash in the Balkans big time, though, and Germany is naturally more at...
