Anyway keep sure that you kick that iberian ass ^^
A very well fought war. How do the odds of getting backstabbed by Portugal look? Do you plan on rewarding Naples with Spanish land in Greece?
Suitably quick destruction of the Spanish armies in South America. Now you need to get your fleet in action. What warscore do you need to get the provinces connecting INca south with mesoamerica Portugal? You may be able to land troops in Spain and thanks to Naples' assistance -great alliance that - the Spanish may have left their homeland unprotected.
Given the infamy he'll take per province...that seems to be a very bad idea.
South America: Where the Spanish Army goes to die.
Spain should be now pretty war exhausted too. Push a bit harder and you'll get what you want.
Hunt down the pale men and eat their hearts to gain the power of Inti!
Question here about strategy on those bady damaged doomstacks - does it make sense to not destroy them but actually let them continue to drain reinforcements by knocking them about a lot without letting them either recover or die?
I remember killing a French 100 regiment doomstack in 'Rebels' and watching the French AI build and reinforce like crazy once the drain from that damaged stack had gone.
Heh, whenever I fight a war I usually end up being "the Spain".
Keep up the killing, Inca shall rule the world!
Impressive job so far of beating up the Spanish. It's a far cry from the days when the Incas trembled in terror at the mere sight of a Portuguese frown. But now it is the Inca that march forward, led by their valiant llama cavalry, whose thunderous charge is heralded by a hail of spitballs. Against such an attack, no army can possibly withstand for long.
what do you plan on taking from this war?
Well fought! That damage is impressive
Great start to the war!
As to one of your early quotes... "Cuahnahuac converts in the end of April, immediately followed by Huaxtepec on May 1st and then Tlapan on the 16th. Hmm, I guess I took the religion screenshot at a bad time, seeing that there were three conversions in the next half a year..."
Nah, this means you should take more conversion screenshots! Or maybe wait until you're sieging about 10 Spanish provinces, and take a 'siege progress' shot!
Are you going to seize any of the new Spanish colonies? Should be a warscore-free way of weakening their grip on South America, although at the expense of awarding you anything to bargain with. Do you think you can get enough warscore together to establish a land-bridge to Portuguese Central America?
Splendid!
Why must the Ai send all forces to Americas?
The next slider move is pretty close and my high ADM Sapa Inca is still alive, so does anyone remember how military modernization works? Are your preferred units changed to Western automatically or do you change them manually? It seems that the New World cavalry at this tech level has considerably better shock pips than the Western one (strange, I know, but quite obvious from the casualties) and I may have to reconsider modernization at this point if you lose the original units instantly.
IIRC, you have to switch them manually, so you could switch infantry and keep cavalry for now.
I was wondering when you'd pop in and say something, I spied you endorsing this in the bAAR. Thanks for that!
Why didnt you get a Holy War CB?
Why didnt you get a Holy War CB?
The old hide the fleet in any safe port ploy. That's a sizeable Spanish fleet. One day the Incan fleet will outnumber it and then they will die. Once you have taken the connecting provinces, how long before you remove the Portuguese from meso-America?
Very impressive stuff against Spain. Hopefully all this good work will result in some decent gains, although as you said the AI can be quite vexing with regards to how resistant it is to giving up land at times.
Nice to see the Spanish taken down a peg but you'll have to work the Inca hard to get a decent peace
Excellent work in this war so far. I was quite surprised by how aggressively Spain has managed to colonise in this game. Good thing the Portuguese set their little buffer in Texas, imagine if the Spaniards had had another front with you available there...
Oh my. I didn't realize I never commented. How remiss of me. It was your AAR that introduced me to MEIOU and convinced me to give it a shot!
Excellent war so far with Spain. I agree taking out the 95 regiments was necessary and will hopefully mess up the AI for some time.
Now...convincing the Spanish AI they've lost - that's going to be harder.
The good news is that even if you're forced to white peace, you've proven you can stand toe-to-toe against the greatest colonizer in your world. Once you finish westernizing you'll be able to take the fight to them.
Primitives don't get Holy War CB. Only Christians and Muslims, I think. Pretty sure the Hindu don't from a Vij* game I played a while back, no idea about the Buddhists.
This is for HTTT anyway, things may have changed for DW, I dunnO!
You should try to draw next AAR in flagland style
