that Mamluk is HUGE
Indeed!
Very interesting how the world has turned out, worrying to see Scotland is still surviving, hopefully though they can be conquered quickly so as to save the world from their idiocy. Apart from that the main things which catch my eye are the large Netherlands and The Mamluks prospering whilst the Ottomans seem to be struggling, which is quite a surprise to me. Unfortunate too that a Swiss province seems to be under occupation by Austria (or is that Bavaria or someone else?), hopefully the doughty Swiss can hang in there.
Judging by my small sample size, the Ottomans seem capable of getting minor victories in wars against the Mamluks however. But nothing decisive one way or the other.
Scotland looks to be in trouble, frankly, their neighbors seem stronger than them.
That's Bavaria, I tried to imply as much in the text. I'll be following that war.
Oh and doughty... Had to check Merriam-Webster there. Pretty cool to learn an English word I didn't know, doesn't happen to me too often anymore.
Looks interesting. Geneva in Britain is not very surprising, especially considering you're not playing an earlier version.
Ah, thanks for reminding me. The last European game I played is from a later start so I didn't remember the 1356 anglois culture thingy. Good to have another reader with MEIOU experience to make sure these details are corrected.
Same goes for the French implosion after partial unification.
True also.
It is good to see Poland, Brandenburg, Bohemia and Austria expanding without biting down hard on each other.
Yeah, I like that too. In my opinion it's always a sign of an interesting region developing when you have a good bunch of medium to rather large sized nations emerging instead of blobs and minors.
You're correct that Spain is the main threat, head and shoulders above the rest really. In the long term I'd put the Netherlands second because they have very good numbers and money in addition to already having a foothold (shown in the next update). Portugal is something to worry about in the short term, but their severe lack of manpower should give me opportunities to bleed their armies dry. I'm hopeful that I'll be in a position to handle any nations that haven't started colonizing yet.
I just love bloodshed.
I do not bath in blood. Nor do I drink it.
I just started playing WAR.
EPIC EUROPE!
Haha! Nice that you like it.
Very interesting...
that is a strong looking spain, mallorca will have its hands full; Netherlands and Mamluks have blobbed quite well
Time for a boat..nay a ship?
Indeed! Construction will start immediately. It was nice to finally see Europe, and show it to you guys as well.
Most of Europe is in a bit of a royal mess Watch out for those pesky Dutch, they might make it to North/Central America in no time...
Yup. And they're already here, I'm spoiling that much of the next update.
Surprised the Tumird Empire didn't collapse into a million pieces. In later patches of HTTT they seemed have less collapsing. In DW though, they normally don't even make it out of the 1400s.
Interesting, I still haven't gone for DW - I have HTTT stuff to finish like this AAR so might as well wait for some nice discount.
All in all, I'd say there's been a good amount of consolidation and/or staying intact in most areas.
What the ..... Europe is in mess you gotta clean it up
I'll do my best, but gotta clean the backyard first!
