Took longer than intended, but I expect to update either tonight or tomorrow morning.
Hmm, come to think of it, it was much quieter on the natural disaster front while you weren't here... :glare:
Yes it is.
Ha ha. Nice hasn't really been an option yet, I border them in Africa too so I'd have to recruit a lot more troops and haul them over.
These European campaigns are basically a vacation for the troops. Even on the battlefield they just find it safer and more peaceful than usual.
A very good idea! Would have to go through the whole AAR for it though... But yes, I think this should be included eventually, too bad that I haven't been recording these separately. I probably should have when I realized what a major part of the AAR they've become.
Until they don't exist, to be more precise.
That would be awesome if you are!
Hmm, maybe that's why the Europeans are losing the battles? The forces of nature themselves have turned against them!
The toe hold will expand... I wish there was a way to set the message log so that you only see specific events, it would be nice to see what natural disasters other countries get.
And it was only about a century ago that we got our first ships. So yes, the rise has been quick in that as well.
I'll smite a more familiar foe first...
Cheers!
It gets the job done. Yeah, Mallorca fit the bill: powerful enough to be a sufficiently manly choice, yet not awfully inconvenient.
Thank you for the praise and welcome to the forums! I'm happy that you've enjoyed it so far, further exploits will be available in this space soon enough.
Thank you and good to hear, I'm glad to have you here! Reading more or less "pure" gameplay accounts like this one is indeed a great way to learn more about the game.
That's the plan. Yes, Barcelona is in an absolutely perfect location for launching a Spanish campaign, plus it's major enough (i.e. high supply limit) that I can station a lot of men there.
Earthquakes and volcanoes - it's like I've never been away!
Is that your first foothold in mainland Europe?

I think when planning your invasion of Europe you should have gone for Nice really, it was the the nice choice to make (awful I know but it had to be typed!).
Ha ha. Nice hasn't really been an option yet, I border them in Africa too so I'd have to recruit a lot more troops and haul them over.
No real surprise that you met with success against Mallorca. Considering that most of Inca's troops will have likely suffered through countless outbreaks of disease and numerous earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, a bit of noise, death and carnage on the battlefield is unlikely to faze them regardless of the opponent!

A table of every natural disaster and the death toll would be amusing.

Ah, the heat is on. The first of the Iberian homelands feel the hard hand of the Inca (at least until they convert).
Until they don't exist, to be more precise.
I'm working on it!
That would be awesome if you are!
And suddenly volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes, space invaders and meteors started appearing in Western Europe.
The arrival of the Inca Empire was equaled to Armageddon, finally coming to punish Christendom in its sinful pride for their ungodly ambitions to claim lands outside of the Old Continent.
Hmm, maybe that's why the Europeans are losing the battles? The forces of nature themselves have turned against them!
And so the European Campaign begins in earnest. You would think a volcano would have erupted somewhere in West Europe to mark the occasion. Look forward to seeing the toe hold become a full foot stomping revenge on all who made your list.

How far the Inca's have come. Seems only a few centuries ago where the thought of Incan fishermen was laughed at. Now they are in the vanguard of navy supremacy hmy:

Perfectly good beachhead to start with, you can now deal with Nice and Catalunya straight away (weather and natural disasters permitting).
I'll smite a more familiar foe first...
Congratz on that foothold in the mainland Europe.
Cheers!
Interesting choice for the foothold/beachhead.
That's quite the impressive military the Inca have deployed.

I've only been playing EUIII (DW) for about a month now, only found these fora about 2 weeks ago, found this thread last week and finally managed to catch up to 'current' today! I just wanted to pop in and say great work - it's been a fascinating read! And an example of what seems, at least to this complete noob, to be quite skillful gameplay. I look forward to the further exploits of the Sons of Inti!
Thank you for the praise and welcome to the forums! I'm happy that you've enjoyed it so far, further exploits will be available in this space soon enough.
It took me a few days to read all 68 pages, but I entirely enjoy this AAR . Your factual narrative helps me in understanding the details of your expansion, and I learned a thing or two. I wish you good luck in further conquest, all the way to European domination!
Thank you and good to hear, I'm glad to have you here! Reading more or less "pure" gameplay accounts like this one is indeed a great way to learn more about the game.
That beachhead is nice, given that it is right nextdoor to the spanish heartland. Looks like iberia will be incan in the future
