Inno al Re - Aragon, formerly Italy and the Two Sicilies, AAR

[AvatarOfKhaine]

Can you take Tunis now? It would be nice from a gameplay standard and is cheap expansion. (Also what is your Infamy? I can't see it where it normally is.) Taking Tunis yourself would prevent further French expansion into Africa via the North leaving more goodness for you, or is Tunis still protected by the Ottomans?

Also, if you want more cheap expansion prior to or after retaking and reforming Aragon, see about bringing Morocco into the fold.

 

[Michaelangelo]

Yay, Italy is born. Now onward to forming Aragon.

Romania strong!

Tunis is still an Ottoman puppet. I have to wait for something like 1881 to take it. Morocco is not a good choice either, considering the friendly relations it has with both Britain and France.

Romania strong!

Forget about Romania.

Cataluña is going to be hard to get until I max relations with UK and NGF since they're both strong allies of Spain.

 

[wzhang29]

One of the things I'm weirded out about. :/

First two choices for influence. I had no idea US had Spain on friendly

Lol, what?

*civil war impending*

We declare war on Austria. Lombardy is mine!

Brescia is first to fall.

Serbia didn't get what it wanted. :/

First evidence of an Austrian Army.

Are you ****ing kidding???

Do I seriously...

LOL, USA cannot into Pacific.

Just to make the border look nice.

Fall of Vienna.

And Budapest.

Yes, yes... give me all that land!

Oh COME ON!

Civil war.

Another one of those LOL moments.

Well sure.

I wonder why I do this...

Oh.

Suez fell pretty quickly.

Provincia Raetia.

Austria tries to retake some.

All hail the new decade! With that... comes Nationalism and Imperialism.

Provincia Ægypta.

We make a bid for the world's fair. (My localisation is kind of knacked for the rest of the update, so bear with me.)

Britain hosts it in London.

Nationalism and Imperialism! YAYYY

Valley of the Kings.

The rest will come tomorrow morning (or should I say this morning? )

 

[AvatarOfKhaine]

Looking good so far, next part should be good.

 

[Michaelangelo]

Go away, Austria-Hungary. Romania is way cooler than you.

Glory to British Canada and their denial of American expansion.

Ah, the Suez. What self-respecting European doesn't make a grab for it at some point in Vicky 2.

 

[wzhang29]

I just have to LOL at this.

Are you kidding me? I never take favors from an enemy!

War of the Triple Quadruple Alliance. Paraguay is land-happy.

Am I seriously going to war with Germany AND Britain over a petty SoI deal?

Notification spam over an irrelevant half of the island Sakhalin.

This is Italy. Onwards to a Roman Empire, si?

((I want to reclaim Corsica for Italy before I attack Spain. The knacked-up localisation is due to my efforts at splitting the state of Vasconia from the state of Aragon. Does anyone know how to fix this? :/))

Things are getting better and better. I always adore it when the CSA survives. Since you will have to fight the French for Corsica, why not reclaim other parts of the Roman Empire?

Libya. Definitely Tripolitania and Cyrenaica

 

[Michaelangelo]

A land connection to your eventual Iberian territory is always nice too.

 

[CivandEUIII]

Subbed, looks cool!
Are you using an old version of vicky?

 

[Nikolai]

A good aar you've got going here. Let Rome AARise!

Provincia Narbonensis. Who wouldn't want Massilia.

Subbed, looks cool!

Vanilla, in fact. I use PDM plus some things I mod in myself.

A good aar you've got going here. Let Rome AARise!

Who, as a true Paradoxian, would not love an AAR pun?

 

[Nikolai]

Who indeed.

 

[wzhang29]

Yes! Now's my chance to get Catalonia!
Oh wait, USA is still on Friendly with them. F**k.

Instead I declare war on France. I don't have a core on Corsica, but I'm doing a dirty trick.

False alarm, apparently. This is the real war.

Did they seriously do that? :/

Hahahahah. No.

Uhm...............

We raise the minimum wage.

France is definitely screwed now.

Well, we conquered Corsica. Now what?

The Ottomans sign a white peace. There'll be more to do there, not to worry.

Muh state borders

Oriental Crisis.

Clay! France will NOT into Mediterranean!

All of my colonies (so far) are granted statehood.

This census is more representative at least

Gib Greater Mediterranean Co-Prosperity Sphere (not fascist, no worries)

Oh are you fraking kidding me!

I still want to get on Japan's good side though.
Especially after the Kuril Incident.

****

How many ****ing times do you need to ask me that!? No, no, double no, NO!

World Fair. Thanks for the prestige!

Oh plz.

Here we are, with our new holdings.


Coming up next on Inno al Re:

War of the Balkan Liberation

 

[AvatarOfKhaine]

Looking good wzhang, still going for (re)forming Aragon, or you going to stay Italy and secure the Mare Nostrum?

Aragon. May/may not keep Rome as the capital though

 

[Michaelangelo]

You missed out on taking all of Algeria during your war with the French, although Provence was a good catch. I'm guessing Corsica won't last too long.

I can actually get Algerie for free if I disarm France after the 1900's.

 

[wzhang29]

I'll take it.

Seriously? You guys want to ruin the Pan-Italian identity?

...

We try to induce Pan-Slavism as well (the more to expand my SoI with).

WTF.

Hmm. OK.

]
*sigh* Are you serious...

Well, we can have Greater Shqipëria at least

Serbia's in my sphere, but Russia bans me anyways.

You're kidding me. How did Germany annex Banat!?!?

Geneva convention.

Squabbling as always.

Just showing you wars.

Why not? Hey, why weren't you annexed into the Kaiserreich?

Vive la revolución

More Pan-Slavism plox.

Bayern is in the game.

I send an expedition to the source of the Nile...

We dislodge Bosnia from the Russian sphere.

Are you fraking kidding me!? Didn't I just dislodge them?

Wait... those Germans look suspicious...

...f**k.
