Fb-fb:
Sapphire - Actually, I am just 40 years into it. It seemed like a good time to start the AAR and see how it went. I plan on continuing once I catch up, but I may have to change a few things around.
KonigMaximilian - Thanks for reading. As for Bohemia, I admit, I am a little reticent to deal with them just yet. I was hoping to build up a bit before I did so. Besides, Palatinate is more of an attraction currently. As for Mecklenburg, I am hoping to diplo-annex if I can get relations up.
stnylan - Yes, Johann Cicero I was not quite what I was looking for, but moreso, the actions of his reign just kind of worked out to roleplay it a bit.
Renss - Yes, I was very happy to finally start work on a navy.
Duke of Wellington - Yes, I got cores on Luneberg and Mecklenburg after having kept them so long. I got the core on Bremen as an event, as well as a few others that gave me a CB on Cologne, Munster, Palatinate and Hesse. Not bad.
Grundius - Not quite. Wait and see.
Myth - Thanks for reading. Hope it keeps your attention.
Chief Ragusa - Indeed, it's not hard to roleplay such with them, is it? As far as admin goes - actually, it's been fine. If I was lacking talent, it was on the diplomacy and military front, though thankfully never at the same time. And as for a civil war - again, not quite. You'll see.
J. Passepartout - See above.
Lord E - Warm...you are getting warm. It's coming soon.
Snake IV - Indeed. But I've had a few setbacks.
Wenis - Thanks. I would surely love to unite Germany at some point, but all in good time. And I would certainly love to colonize even if just a little to play around with that feature. That was one of the reasons I was so happy to take Bremen.
Thanks for reading everyone! I really appreciate your comments. Yet again, I hope to have an update up later in the day that should fill everyone in on just what Friedrich von Manstein meant above.
And if you have any questions regarding gameplay that I have not made clear enough, please feel free to ask and I'll answer as best I can. Until later...
