I'm the same way about m writing, and I'm sure there are points that can be fixed, but in the end you have to shrug it off and be proud of what you've done on these forums with your many AARs!
Naturally. If I never forced myself to push out what I thought was weak quality then there would almost never be any updates. Eventually, either due to late nights or a need to get it over with, all updates are put out at a reasonable or promised time, the only exception being that Algiers narrative. I think that things going to haunt me the rest of my Paradox time. I’ve even been thinking about going back to finish it even though I no longer have the notes. But if I do that I’ll have to revise the last few posts (or chapters) to fit a shortened story which is probably a good thing. Either way I won't be getting around to it anytime soon.
aldriq: The interesting thing about Quebec was when I asked for their creation. They granted it right away but all their units popped up in Stadacona, right where the Brits were. I’m lucky they all weren’t demolished. Hopefully I’m not waiting more than a month or two for them to kick in and do something positive.
As far as the navy goes, that’s a EU3 problem. On average each sea zone only has 4 three decker ships. Sometimes I’ll get caught in a battle with 8 or even 12 but its never overwhelming. I’ve only lost a few ships up to this point but that can be attributed to my attentiveness about my navy. I put them in port when they need rest and attack the weakest areas. I never leave them sitting there on the coast or let them patrol in case a big group of British ships come along.
It seems the bulk of the Brit Navy is conducting transport duty. Strangely they didn’t use their big ship block for the Savannah landing but I couldn’t destroy those ships before the army landed. I was thinking about doing a naval update in another two or three updates because most of it is repetition, attacking when I’m able and I don't want to mention it in every update.
On to Louisiana. This is a tough question because before EU3 I had never heard of a separatist Louisiana movement and the low quality of my school didn’t help matters. About a year after I left I realized all I didn’t know and read absolutely everything I could get my hands on. I still do. In my Revolutionary War studies I have never even heard of a Louisiana movement and even my recent online searches have come up empty. There’s probably something on wikipedia but I never trust that site when it comes to facts, in fact, I almost never trust any Internet site unless I can find at least three, usually four, other sites claiming the same thing - unless it has a strong name behind it.
So I never read about a Louisiana movement in any book. All I ever found out about a possible Louisiana movement during the Revolutionary War were two sites. Basically they said there was a Colonial Louisiana militia but it consisted of creole, Indians, free African Americans and Spanish people. But it was led by the Spanish. These militias began in 1776 but officially didn’t begin until 1779 when Spain joined the war. Their prime aim was to recapture Baton Rogue and the West Florida Parishes, which they accomplished.
Between the research I’ve done through the years and what I’ve looked at recently concerning Louisiana, Louisiana shouldn’t have any cores. Instead they should be replaced by either American, Indian, Spanish or French cores. In the end I think Paradox added the Louisiana cores more for spice than historical accuracy. But like I said, I haven’t heard much about these Louisiana militias so there may be more information out there. I’m sure a Louisiana local knows something about it but I didn’t grow up there and never lived there. If someone knows more about the subject I’d encourage them to post and inform with more accuracy.
Everything in my AAR about Louisiana is made up. I'm only mentioning it because I need to explain these rebels and if they break from Britain, I don't want to confuse anyone when I post maps.
I wouldn’t put anything I’ve written above as hard fact; it should probably be taken with a grain of salt. Then again, so should EU3 historical accuracy with a 1776 option almost no one ever plays.
