To All: Surely you all saw that coming? I mentioned it before, didn't I? Still thats one hell of a lot of replies all about California, so I guess you won't mind if I don't keep repeating myself and answer the California posts in a group. Also, update will be this afternoon.
All those interested in California: Firstly, for those of you who a NON-BELIEVERS here is the proof.
I hope you are happy. As for renaming the cities, I obviously can't actually play around with the map, but when refering to them I will now rename some of the more famous places. San Fransico is to become, as Treppe suggested, Wilhelmshafen. Los Angeles will become Engelstadt, and San Diego becomes Franzenhafen. Sacremento will remain just that.
As for immigration to California, I am hoping that Germans will now choose to go there, instead of America, when the gold rush gets going. Added to that, no longer will I be losing Germans to the USA (they liked Denver for some reason), I will probably also attract lots of other immigrants to the California gold mines. We shall see. Hope that's covered all your concerns.
Treppe: Well, I can't 'send' them to the colonies without them wanting to go, the game system, as you know, doesn't let me. And without the Gold rush, they won't go. So the countryside was the only option. The picture was in there from the start
comagoosie: And you're getting annoyed? Think what I am feeling! Still, just because it stops be working out my colonies, wars don't mean bad things for Germany... so long as we win.
Enewald: Speaking German is useless on this AAR; my knowledge doesn't go past Gutentag etc. It's all Greek to me... hmm, seeing as I speak Greek that doesn't make any sense for me to say... whatever!
Irencius: You would be correct that that was my plan. The embarrasing thing is that I was so embroiled with France for the first portion of Germany's creation, I hadn't noticed it till now.
Update in a wee while.
