LeoGecko We shall see, things have not gone how I expected...
Edzako Story of my life, trapped in the wrong film. But if this is to be an Action AAR I better get down to the Church of Chuck and start praying!
Lord Strange There wasn't any prepositioning by the AI it just DOWed and then pointed units in my general direction. I had several months of preinstructed regiments happily wandering past Iroquois to look at the St Lawrence and then march back to the Mississippi.
There are no Portuguese colonies in North America, only cities.
Kami Thanks, I'll need the luck
Capibara I have a strategy, I'm going to go head to head and gamble they don't have the manpower.
Emperor_krk I can't siege race, as soon as Portugal takes a province they can annex it. Also the AI is a
lot better than EU2. It's perfectly capable of putting field forces up against your armies while running multiple sieges. I'd definitely siege race if I wasn't Pagan. Those northern winters must be adequate for attrition purposes.
demokratickid Who knows, it ain't over 'til it's over
Wombats O' War I'm rather hoping Portugal doesn't have the manpower for uberstackage
Mattabesta I was kinda interested in that one as well
No it doesn't otherwise it would be game over. GB has about 30k of troops sat in those provinces
Kami Agreed, attrition will hurt Portugal but I'll still lose provinces. I need to take the war to the enemy and engage them head on.
Anti-Tank Sounds about right...
Olaus Petrus I think you're right about someone needing to DOW Portugal. Ideally I'd like them to get in a succession war with Castile that is a bloody draw but wrecks both empires.

EnragedKiwi At last a vote of confidence
phargle Victory I say! Victory or Death. Possibly just Death :rofl:
GeneralHannibal Vassalisation would be a neat trick, pretty boring AAR after that but a damn neat trick all the same. The big problem is I can't see how you offer it in the Peace interface and the Portuguese won't ever have a high enough war score to offer because they'll annex provinces rather than occupying them.
Didaa A Brazilian wanting me to kill Portuguese soldiers? Guess they shouldn't have stolen Deco after all
Wombats O' War That's the spirit!
coz1 At last, someone appreciating the hard work I put in to deliver a cunning trading strategy.
curufin My economy holds up reasonably well (a bit of inflation) so I get to use my spies. I do eventually come up with a far more effective way of hurting Portugal.
ulmont I'll play it as it comes, maybe 3.2 helps?
urdh yeah, that's the polite version of what I thought...
Soarom, Winner, Derdiedas and everyone else involved
I'd suggest cultural / economic factors. Try Jared Diamond 'Guns, Germs and Steel' even if you don't agree with his conclusions it's a fascinating read exploring the roots of the differences between human cultures in different parts of the world.
However to keep the thread on track can I echo
Olaus Petrus's wise suggestion and ask those interested in pursuing the debate to take this to the History Forum.
Derdiedas Hi, by the way, nice to see you taking a look!
Demon1 Cheating! Never I say! (Mutters to self, beware Sith agents in the thread).
Kami Huzzah for honour and decency (and probably getting annexed but let's not go there).
Demon1 I'll go and play someone with armies
phargle I agree, I don't mind getting annexed as long as I go down fighting. The point of this AAR was simply to explore what can be done with Iroquois not to showcase some lunatic outcome like for example every province on the map being Catholic :wacko:
o:wacko:

Olaus Petrus Hopefully, it won't come to a desperate last stand...
Mannisks Thanks
Duke of Wellington Well said and so economically.
Olaus Petrus Thank you, I'm in agreement that perhaps it would be better to continue that debate in the History Forum.
