I'm kinda new here, but what about the game itself? What are the years, the countries, the map, the events etc.
Yes, the wall has been cleared for a mural.
Something…
All will be answered!
You’re welcome!Thank you
A putsch you say? My, my, what has the world gotten to when you can’t trust politicians…
Brian is correct.
Beards are a necessity in Punjabi/Indian politics! Tibet is an ally, but you’re assuming military operations will not spill over to China…So, the young padawan is going to Tibet ... hum. BTW, supposedly Tibet isn't a ally ? *confused* So why would the military need the not-yet PM "friends" to facilitate things ?
Anyway, Dalip should be concerned about Gunkaar ... his beard is already bigger than the Dalip one and we all know what that means in Punja... er, India
Heh, well this little chapter is coming to an end, in only a couple of posts.
Alas, Dalip suffered the indignity of learning geography in Britain!
I speak English too, and it isn’t even my first language! You may be on to something there…
Don’t tempt me…Cue a panel with Dalip speaking some gibberish in panjabi that none will understand
It’s a squiggly alphabet. Best of both worlds (or something).
How do you know where I live??
We’ll see…
Google translate is like a broken telephone. It’s been years since I last tried it, but if you keep translating a phrase from language to language… well, let’s just say there will be discrepancies…
Noooo! Never!Use this King of all India:
Wriener speaks truth!
Have no fear, concerned netizen!
The game’s afoot! And it’s no mere peasant!
Dalip as a Child
Before is the emperor of all Indias
Ah, those old, innocent times… Yes, he’s picking his nose. Then staring at the result with satisfaction. Such are the simple pleasures of childhood…
They became famous; pictures on the cover of Sikh Magazine, big government pensions, etc. But deep down they know they were just pawns in the Great Game for control of Asia. Having gone to Africa initially confused them a bit on that point, but it’s clear now.
Thanks a lot, Oscar! I’m glad to have you vocally onboard!Maybe they could be refitted for a polar expedition
And Selzro, another long time reader, first time commenteer. Strangely, I have followed some of your other AARs before, but I don't remember ever commenting...
I thought maybe it's time to make my voice heard to give some more support for your AAR (not that you seem to be lacking of it)
This is getting out of hand. I’m going to have to post another story page. Which I’ll do in just a few minutes…
Welcome, ssuperflash1! The game is rather too complicated to explain all in one post, although there are many gameplay AARs here that can answer your questions much better than I can. The basics are: the game runs from 1836 to 1936. The countries are all the countries that existed on the map during that period; The map is the world, in a cylindrical projection without the poles; the events are many… too many to begin to list here.
India seems to be almost yours but so many tiny blips of British control. I expect in 5 years for said blips to disappear. In other news why are Makran and Kalat still independent. Both have rightfully Indian lands.
It looks that a certain "idiot of a emperor" will get a unexpected surprise. Now , how will Dalip deal with such underhanded move by the part of the young padawan ... supposing that he will even know a thing about the whole affair , that is It looks that the King is being completely sidelined by this chain of events ... it is a sign that Dalip time is up and that he should get a nice cottage in Shimla and calmly sip wine until the end of his days before he goes the way of the British Hanovers in your game ?

The question on my mind is still whether Gunkaar will actually pull this off, or whether it is going to blow up in his face spectacularly and he's in over his head.
I had initially sphered Makran and Kalat because I thought they’d become part of India when I got to form it. Needless to say, I was mistaken. But they remain within my sphere, for now. However, sharp-eyed readers may have noticed that France has acquired some land in south-east Persia, so it might decide to take Makran and/or Kalat out of India’s sphere of influence in the future…
Heh, Dalip will... well that’s the subject of the next page. Which I will post shortly, because I’ve left this AAR without updates for far too long.It looks that a certain "idiot of a emperor" will get a unexpected surprise.

Both plausible outcomes. But the answer is below…
So, India got a ... er, institutional problem between a ceasing PM and the theoretically politically toothless King ... all created by the leader or the government party, that, by pure accident, is the grandson of the former Oh, also add a former foreign ambassador turned almost Emperor ( since, let's be honest, we know who is running the shots there ) of the country India was warring with So, exactly what RL banana republic are you channelling in ?
In the end, it is yet another cliffhanger, since I'm not seeing Dalip accepting this peace treaty lightly. So either we have another absinthe binge or another less than fully legal action by his part to continue to have some power ( or maybe even both at the same time *faint* ). And even if Dalip gets beaten, i do not see his future relations with Gunkaar as any less than strained ... unless Dalip gets completely pushed to the side :/

Eeesh, Dalip's really losing it isn't he? Not that he was ever the most rational plotter in the world but he always had his eyes on the goal. Gunkaar's offered him China on a platter and Dalip can't get his mind off some stupid mural.
...or maybe he's worried that Gunkaar's success will finally push the monarchy off the power podium and into the political wilderness of the constitutional monarch.

Wow, two updates almost in a row!
This is yet another moment where Dalip must be regretting the constitutional monarchy, those pesky MPs getting in the way of his mural. But, alas, I must side with the-PM-whose-name-I-forget, a chinese friendship mural & tons of tea and goodies surely beat a humiliation mural.
Also, Panjab's getting filled with smoke from all those factories, eh?

"That's different! We're royalty!" http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StJS51d1Fzg "It's good to be the king."
That last panel exchange between Delip and the ageing PM was nothing short of brilliant!
