BB world war

[Carolus Rex]

Hey, I tried it, it wass great fun.

0 BB for me, 250 for the rest of the majors and a few important german minors.
It was funto just walk around and annex them without getting any DoWings.

Something similar, Carolus, but maybe more interesting - swap a few CB shields around on England, France, Spain, Turkey, Austria, and P-L. Then give everyone a BB of 20 (hefty, but possible to live down).

Then start the mayhem - at least the big boys will focus on each other (I should hope), and the little guys can try to pick up some spoils.

Have you actually done this? What was the result?

Different than normal?

I guess so... The 'majors' were constantly fighting eachother because of the switched CB's... Right?

 

[unmerged(3963)]

Whoa, oops, it was just a suggestion to Carolus - I haven't tried it myself... but y'all are welcome to try, natch.

 

[Vulture]

Ok Carol, tell us the outcome if you do it

I am playing IGC as Ragusa. For a long time now, I've had:

- a land border with Venice.
- the same faith as Venice
- an alliance with Venica
- a RM with Venica
- Relations of +190/+200 (fluctuates a bit)

Of course, Venice still has a CB on me (hardcoded into the IGC I think, or is it a CB shield on Ragusa?)

Yet, the computer will not give me the option 'offer vassalisation.' It's NOT that the option is there, but that I fail. It IS that the option is just absent. Not highlighted.

You didn't set Venice as another major, perchance, did you? I notice you don't mention that you'd set yourself as the only major.

I tried another thing today
I started playing as Brandenburg, saved and modified the savegmae file
adding a leader "Maekh the great" 6-6-6-6 skills and gave him a 40 000 inf, 5000 cav and 80 cannons and of course a i also changed the technology to the highest level But i'm not allowed to build any more troops.

Now it is time to annex as many countries as possible.. I managed to take pommern,holstein,hansan,hannover,cologne,cleves but after that it is impossible to get any further. my army has only 3000men left and france ,Spain,Poland and other countries are now everywhere

Couple of territories bigger - 2 or 3, I think.

Both Venice and I owned a CoT - and my income was higher.

Army-wise, we're equal.

And remember, this is about not even getting the vassalisation OPTION, not being turned down. Turned down, I could handle.

Are you the leader of the alliance?

Man, my game is hysterical, I have edited the save game some, building funny fortresses here and there, pushing up my tech's some, annexing the bull out of everyone!!

I LOVE IT!!
Tomorrow I will try a hands off gae this style!!
