I notice form the political screen that this is indeed a very old version of the game. How do I know? Well, all the new screenshots and infromation from the past month has shown the political parties in the name they have in their original language. Seeing a "Shogunate Faction" kind of threw me off :) .

But seriously, good work so far PE on this new venture of yours, we look forward to the brighter days when you can illumine us further with your wisdom of goodness-smiting ;) :p .

peace,

By the way on which version has "The Blood to the Ankles" AAR been played? - I guess it is not the gold version.

Several versions. I guess a different version in each chapter. Those sent this far are propably pre-gold.

Okay, you can now go read Dark Knight's excellent Second Empire AAR. Since it is heavy on battles and light on game mechanics it has got the go-ahead. :)

Great news... it'll hopefully keep the "Vic-tims" afloat for a while. :)

As always, some excellent writing, Peter. I love the way you've masterfully woven your systematic exploitation of the game's weaknesses and the Paradox staff's responses to your ... probing of the defenses. :D It's sort of ironic that the release of the AAR is being frozen to thwart pirates - if anything, it's convinced me to get the game as soon as it hits the shelves vice my original plan of waiting a few months for the bugs to be worked out. The shortcomings you've highlighted are substantially more obscure than the ones that plagued the initial releases of EU2 and HoI. (For example, contrast the inability to declare war as an uncivilized island nation in Victoria to the inability to annex puppetmasters without crashing the game in HoI.) It's nice to see that despite all that EU2 MP role-playing, you haven't lost your deviousness. :D

Looking forward to your inevitable steamrolling of China ...

-CK

Hilarious as usual, PE! Having a super villain as main character only makes it even more hilarious. :rofl:

Japan has lots of socialist and communists, with the issues of pacifism and planned economy doing well. Hell, you seem to be doing great by my standards... ;) :p

Yep. Several more chapters exist, but the release of them is frozen. Sooner or later I expect them to be released.

Looks like Victoria is released now, so I'll start lobbying for somebody with MOD powers to begin releasing chapters.

In the meanwhile, the rest of you* can recreate my exploits. I triple-guarantee you that you will face an easier game with regards to revolts - and a harder one with regards to the economy. :)




* Those in Scandinavia who has got the game, not the rest of the rest of you :D

Great update, invest heavily in education seems to be the way to go. Looking forward to see you carry out a WC with Japan. Nice bunch of money you have collected, in my first stupid game as Transvaal I had something of 7 000 ...in loans that is..:)

  • Judge - 7,000£? That's pathetic. No WC, by the way.
  • Powerslave - Uncivilized Great Power? As the AAR says: And the Servitors declared: Henceforth any nation that becomes a Great Power shall be considered civilized! This has been in place since the gold release
  • Kucing - Price of Hong Kong? At the time I did it, a few hundred thousand pounds. Strangely enough, however, Incidentally, the price for buying core provinces from another nation just went through the roof. Just thought you ought to know, really.

So, when the Divine Servitors Speak in the early chapters, it is generally the case that it has been fixed before the gold release. :)
