If I would have liked too, I probably would have succeeded to conquer alot more, but that picture is taken of the first EU1 game I played :)

Did learn alot in later games, but I didn't succeed with the same thing and then I changed game to EU2.

Haven't succeeded with the same there, yet :D

You can't be sure on the Thread you showed me.

He is either cheating or using mod :)

That nation isn't able to be used in EU1 and then he seem to get some strange messages all the time that doesn't exist in ordinary EU1. :S

But othervise he have done a very good game.

I think he says at the beginning of the thread that he is using the IGC mod. He was also using the latest EU1 patch 1.10, which may not have been the same that you were using.

Which ones?

You know you can change your message settings? ;)

(And to make an AAR interesting you'll usually have to keep notes, where you can write whatever you like :p)

I don't know morpheus, and I don't have any particular interest in defending him. He makes no secret in his AAR of the fact that he'd edited the save file several times -- to give himself leaders, colonial dynamism, and to get himself out of an alliance for example. I frankly don't have the patience to run through the entire thread looking for additional examples.

On the other hand, I doubt that he was trying to white out the "Unknown String" message that you pointed out -- if he was, then he did the worst job of it I can possibly imagine. And on skimming the other screenies, I didn't see other oddities popping out at me.

This whole thread, frankly, is getting a bit silly. What you accomplished, Skarion, in your game, is quite nice -- and you have every right to be proud of it. However, as many folks have said about single player in both EU1 and EU2, you don't have to cheat or possess l33t skillz to do well because the AI is just not that strong. And as you've implied, any kind of AAR or screenie that can be posted here -- even a save file -- is ultimately no proof of one's achievements because everything can be faked. (Not to mention that one man's tactic or tip is another man's exploit...)

Those who wish to have bragging rights regarding their mad skillz should rush to the EU2 multiplayer forum, where they may pit themselves directly against other players.

The text "Unknown String Wanted" for example.

He did paint some white over it the first time it did show up under his first greater expansions on page 4.

Quote from the IGC_FAQ.

Q: There is some country named "unknown string!"
A: You forgot to run patch.exe from Your EU directory.

This should be the problem, but i've never seen it appear in that place, so I'm not sure. Anyway in the FAQ the problem is with the country name.

Thanks Acores.

Anyways, I just wanted to know if someone had succeeded with the same as me, Marloc.

And when you gave me a pic I was just curious about it because of things on it that shouldn't have existed.

And as I said, I was curious if the people here are so (as you called it) 1337 as I thought they were.

If you are a nice boy, I will post a picture of my puny Ottoman empire here...

EDIT: Just noticed that the save was tragically lost when I re-installed EUI due to some problems I had experienced :(

IIRC Carolus Rex made a world conquest with Sweden in EU 1 when he played it long ago eh C.R. ;)

Unfortunally I cant say I comed this far with Sweden myself, so once again applaus... :)
