I`m still waiting for France to get crushed.

It sure will. I don't mind powerful vassals, is far more amusing when you are a TPM (I assume M will become Major in this case, hehe).

And we are just getting started.

Hm, now I know how Ulm wants his martini.

Corfu is Byzantine, silly!

Bohemia is not what it used to be, huh?

Ask and you shall receive:

This is the income of Ulm as of 1488. I have the largest income of anyone in the world at this point. It should also be noted that this screen is from after the events I have told of so far, so some has happened, but I won't reveal exactly what just yet.

Oh yus. OPMs can be quite fun.

Nah, I also used to use spies heavily in HTTT. Never played IN for real or any expansion before that, so I cannot comment on those.

Of course. And I have not given up on that yet, but we need to ensure that our vassals are not thoroughly intimidated by the Ottomans or other powerful entities. Our business in the Empire is rather safe for now.

Indeed. DW did the right thing and added Ulm.

The unfortunate reality is that France have gotten quite strong. And Ulm's grudge against France was merely that they had conquered his nemesis.

Money money money!!!

**Arakhor** · 09-01-2011 15:56

But not before the massive Ulm..ian Ulmite, Ulmi, UuuuuuLLLLmanians fleet is ready to storm the dardanelles in a style reminisent of Admiral Hornby rather than Admiral Carden

**Baltasar** · 09-01-2011 17:09

That'd be the invincible UlmAARian fleet!

**Svip** · 09-01-2011 17:16

According to the game the term is 'Ulmer'.

I did wish that the game would write the name over vassals disconnected from my main territory. I would have liked 'Ulmer Byzantine' over Greece. A man can dream though, a man can dream.

**sad king billy** · 09-01-2011 17:25

Do you have a settlement policy in place over Venice? Ulmer provinces should have rheinlander culture!

**tobier** · 09-01-2011 21:18

It's really neat to see you expanding your empire without using force of arms (well, at least not your own armies!). I should try that sometimes, perhaps get the Byzantium achievable using patriotic rebels, yes?

**pjcrowe** · 09-01-2011 22:14

I have to say, this is my favorite by fAAR.

And one day, when it is absorbed fully, it shall be Ulmest Byzantium!

**OrangeYoshi** · 09-01-2011 23:35

Just found this. It's 'mazing!

**Svip** · 10-01-2011 00:34

Bismarck was right about you, Hapsburg!

Oh the crazies.

**FrozenWall** · 10-01-2011 00:41

Awesome as always!

**Mattabesta** · 10-01-2011 00:51

BEST EVAR and I was one of the first to see it in the IRC I DEMAND A MEDAL FOR THIS

**the_hdk** · 10-01-2011 01:17

It does seem to work for vassals on other continents- in my Byzantine campaign I see "Byzantine Ehtiopia"

Maybe Byzantine just needs to get big enough. It seems to me the game holds back on creating text that is too long. Ulm appears easy because it is short, but Ulmer Byzantine? Yeah, I am going to give the game the benefit of doubt. We'll see, once Byzantine finally rises!

On an unrelated note, FrozenWall did a nice update for his AAR (well, not just his, I guess) using a similar styled comic. Thumbs up from here.

**Salt** · 10-01-2011 01:49

Austria is playing some head games. Also, ALL AARS ARE NOW COMICS

**Svip** · 10-01-2011 01:53

Wait, there is more?
