hoi2geek – If you have knowledge on the Irish language, I welcome your corrections on the use in this AAR… I only have the Internet to help me along.
Rest assured that Galicia is part of my plans from day one. It’s just going to take a while because of the contiguous-border-rule I set at the beginning. The direction beyond Galicia would be more of a mystery to me at this moment.
Let’s see… Galicia is not “formerly Celtic”… it is “Celtic Homeland”. Yeah… sounds more…
politikal.
Sergei Meranov – Thanks! The Dunkelds need to be crushed but they still have a significantly larger army than Eire (amazing I know... must be due to Robert gobbling up counties to add to his demesne...)
So we’re still on the defensive in this war. We're also without allies this time. France decided to tit-for-tat our refusal to join them gallivanting on the shores of the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan (which is good in a way since we don’t want them meddling any more than necessary in the isles).
Zzzzz… - The main obstacle to claiming King of Scotland comes from the lack of prestige.
Trian may be rich but to claim that title we’ll need about 2000 prestige (iirc). That’s just far out of our range at this moment. I actually had a “This War has become a Personal Grudge” event but it didn’t trigger the automatic claim (curses!). What we need is a convincing victory to lay the foundations for eventual takeover. Ah well, baby steps…
I’m glad to see others pick up Ireland. It’s such a rich setting for CK...
gabor – Trian keeps Cormac around as a diversion from the dreariness of court politics.
France does have some possessions in the Holy Lands, and the Azerbaijani too, somehow. They must have rubbed each other the wrong way. But still, it
is silliness.
Scotland is still pretty strong despite the previous war. We still can't annex them up in one fell swoop, so I’m inclined to nibble at their borders for now. Trian just comes across as a quiet High King more interested with internal matters than war, anyway, so it 'fits' somehow, I think...
