I fired up CKII with sunset invasion, eagerly relishing the thought of the tide of blood and chocolate about to swamp western Europe. Not wanting to wait start the game in 1250 and play as western Duke in the HRE, figuring it will buy me a few years before the Aztec tide reaches me. When the Aztecs do turn up, with a couple of 60k doomstacks, I assume they will be knocking on my door soon enough. Not so. They manage to lose about 50,000 men taking Galicia and Cornwall. Oh yes, those fabled nations, vast and wealthy. And they are defeated within 5 years by the efforts of Europe's foremost power: Devon. Really? That was the terrifying apocalyptic DLC I just bought? Not impressed paradox, so far all you have managed to do is model what would actually happen if the Aztecs invaded.
