Wow.

You are conquering left and right like nobody's business. Catherine would be jealous.

"Moldavia annexed for daring oppose us" - good one :D

Spreading Orthodoxy - even better.

And may I just reiterate that you're an amazing player? Every time I see you update, I always think about my pitiful Ryazan/whatever attempts and how well you handled it by comparison.

Cheers!

Long live the King! You hope.
I sure do :)

This must be one of the best AAR:s i've read. I just love how you turned a OPM to the greatest nation in the world:D Applaudes!
Thanks :)

8 bb for Moldova is too much. Try to get easier prey. :p
Yep i meant Bavaria
and moldavia ... oh f*** it , mongol style
In Soviet al-Rus, infamy wary of you :p

When is Bavaria finally going to form Germany?
About 1000 pixels down :p

Wow.

Actually, maybe being Muscovite vassal is blessing at the beginning, not curse. You have a lot of time to live and plan before Muscowy turns on you. If Muscowy is lucky, and don't get heavily defeated in any war, Qasim could probably survive entire game as OPM:rofl:

All that one need is to wait for good time to declare independence and then hope :)

Episode 7 – The Reich
coa2-32.png


At last core in the Pacific:

c4-screen23.jpg


Now we can finally get rid of all those pirates.

al-Rus gains core over the sea dispute:

c4-screen24.jpg


Funny those cartographers are. But maybe this can be used in the future.

Looks like Burgundy reached far east:

c4-screen25.jpg



They don’t want Mustafa ‘Ali to find them on Kamchatka when al-Rus discover it in few years time. That won’t end well for Burgundy.

Austria seeks to expand on Orthodox expense:

c4-war43.jpg


This will be responded, of course. This time Austria will remember al-Rus.

c4-war44.jpg


And they are at war with just about any neighbor except Bavaria.

First battle is fought and won in Transylvania:

c4-battle19.jpg


Despite victory, al-Rus lose more soldiers. But that won’t have much effects. There are still enough peasants to be thrown at enemy.

al-Rus troops have reached Wien:

c4-battle20.jpg


Austria still have lot of troops, but they are broken and warscore is almost 50%.

Soon, they had no other option but to capitulate:

c4-war45.jpg


And as a result, Austrian Empire is broken into pieces, and friendly, and quite a big, Transylvania is created. After this events, al-Rus almost face no threat from the Europe.

al-Rus gets new border with Persia:

c4-screen26.jpg


Then, maybe strongest nation in the world, Great Britain, nation that only moved forward in past 200 years, collapses:

c4-screen27.jpg


They lose much of colonial possession, and except all those nations declaring independence, they also granted independence to La Plata, which took most of historical territory. It’s interesting that USA even took one of British home provinces.

Transylvania seeks to expand and unite entire Hungary:

c4-war46.jpg


al-Rus will ignore them, as we don’t want to go to war with Montenegro.

Lithuania is defeated by Bohemia, but before that lost Samogitia to Riga:

c4-war47.jpg


They are now easy prey for all enemies, including al-Rus.

c4-button11.jpg


Surprisingly, seriously weaken Austrians respond:

c4-war48.jpg


But, they will hardly be a threat to al-Rus.

Then, giant of the west is born:

c4-screen28.jpg


The Reich has been formed. Finally, a worthy opponent for al-Rus.

And is al-Rus going to do sth about thus united Germany?
Eventually :)

Soo u think that you would have even chance against German military power
It would be much more fun to see whether you could beat them instead. Seeing how you have played so far I don't expect that to be much of a problem.

I have 300000 manpower and Russian winter. Why not? :)

that won't end well for Austria and Bohemia , they should have german cores now :D
Indeed.

So thanks to you Germany has formed. Congratulations, you are doomed :D
I guess the question is whether or not al-Rus and Germany can coexist peacefully (assuming you even want to).
I'll see about those:)

Ally with Germany and divide Europe between you!
Like they would want alliance :)

Episode 8 – Kamchatkan War
coa2-32.png


Austrians are defeated, but with loses:

c4-battle21.jpg


Lithuania is quickly overrun:

c4-war49.jpg


Hopefully, Riga will do us a favor and annex them.

Austrians were happy to let us go for about 500 ducats. They have being filling al-Rus treasury for quite some time now.

New national idea is on schedule:

c4-sliders3.jpg


We take Regimental System, as none of other gives us any real benefit.

al-Rus explorers have reached Kamchatka:

c4-screen29.jpg


But they were not first. Mustafa ‘Ali can’t tolerate this. He is undisputed Sovereign of Europe and Asia, and some filthy Portuguese can not and will not be allowed to spread there. Only one outcome is here:

c4-button12.jpg


al-Rus will go to war with Portugal.

c4-war50.jpg


Everybody responds, including Germany.
As our troops can’t go trough Bohemia, we will wait for Germans at home. If they are brave enough to touch al-Rus lands.

Portugal sends fleet to block us:

c4-battle22.jpg


We can’t match their strength on sea, so there must be found some other way to fight with them.

During the war, a retarded heir dies:

c4-screen30.jpg


Good riddance. Hopefully, new, better, heir will appear soon. If not, some of al-Rus nobles will take the throne. Maybe it’s better that way, as al-Qasim dynasty produced only handful of good Kings.

Portuguese army is defeated in Kamchatka:

c4-battle23.jpg


Even though they are westerners, Portuguese land tech is far behind al-Rus’s. Not even a contest.

Colony is then burned:

c4-screen31.jpg


We don’t need Portuguese cultured, Catholic province. al-Rus colonist will soon be under way.

Meanwhile, attempted invasion of Germany is failing:

c4-battle24.jpg


Stack is soon routed:

c4-battle25.jpg


Germans are not pushovers like Portugal.

In other war, Austria recovers most of the lost territory, but now have to face Montenegro:

c4-war51.jpg


Montenegrins were generous and settled for a 500 ducats.

Kamchatka is successfully colonized:

c4-screen32.jpg


Portuguese are kicked out of the Asia, but are unwilling to accept peace yet.

Lithuania is annexed:

c4-war52.jpg


This is an invitation for Mustafa ‘Ali:

c4-button13.jpg


Especially as we are already in war with Germany, and Bohemia and Austria are too busy fighting eachother:

c4-map2.jpg


We will see whether or not are they going to respond.

The Reich vs. the Russian...Dragon?

And yes, anyone colonising my Pacific seaboard is an enemy for the rest of history.

Britain and their colonies, lol - York as the 14th colony especially!
