The Religious Map Mode gif is the greatest thing ever, you can see the animist wave so perfectly
Don' worry, you won't be proven wrong. It is impossible. As a pagan there's no way of getting more than 2 missionaries a year (1 slider, .5 idea and .5 Rome), and there's 879 owned provinces in 1399, which means you're a bit more than 30 missionaries short.It certainly would be harder, especially with a Pagan nation's lower missionary gain. Even Confucian-to-Hindu Ming has some missionary gain through decisions. It might very well be impossible - I'm inclined to think it is, but before I know it someone will prove me wrong.
I guess you have not that much RAM, my older laptop nearly died when it had to load the two animated gifs.
Part 100 - "We Are The World..."
To All:
Pardon for this taking a while - I had a few issues in making and uploading the gif maps - Photobucket doesn't seem to like animated gifs, and the religious map mode one took more than three hours to render.
There were some of you who were interested in seeing this converted into a Victoria game. Alas, I have neither a converter tool, nor Vicky installed at the moment. I do have the savegame file zipped to 2.2 Mb, but I've nowhere to host it. I can probably send it by email if anyone's really interested.
Also, pardon the way the gifs blow this thread out of its boundaries; I didn't want to shrink them, I wanted some detail to be left in those. The religious one is a bit wonky - for example, Denmark is defaulted back to Protestantism in their rebirth. None of the gif map modes like countries that disappear and reappear.
Let's start off with a look at Europe, cultural mode. Paris is firmly Chihan.
As is Rome.
Mecca too. It's the same for the rest of the world.
End game budget and tech levels. I've been minting as much as I could for the last fifty or so years.
This would be why I've been minting. All provinces have every building, save manufactories. I'm building those too, but the cheapest of them costs fourtyfour thousand ducats a piece.
Mmm, monocolor pies... Of course, you could achieve that without conquering the world; OPMs usually enjoy monocolor pies from day one.
There was a debate on the advisor pool in a WC'ed world - here's mine at game end. Ten advisors, all born in China.
A nice, unicolored world... Now, for the animations...

I really wish there was a Cultural Map Mode for the EU3view tool, but alas... I guess it isn't expected that cultures can change this radically very often.
And that's it, I guess. To all those of you who've followed and/or read this AAR, thank you so much. I couldn't have done this without you and your helpful hints along the way. I also hope it was worth your time; I know I'm not much of a narrator, and I know I tend to put up a lot of screenshots that the AAR could probably have done without. Still, this is my style, dull though it may be.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Nice poem.
I like the wave, particularly once the Persian seeds are in full operation.The Religious Map Mode gif is the greatest thing ever, you can see the animist wave so perfectly
I'm not sure I'll ever make an AAR ever again, to be honest... It depends if I come across some exploit in HttT I want to explore, I suspect... I've not yet bought HttT, so at best it'll be far in the future. I'm much to preoccupied with WoW and Tropico 3 these days, and I sorta hope to install Hearts of Iron III sometime next year too.
Thanks. Herding rebels is indeed time-consuming. It requires a lot of pausing to calculate infantry movement, so you can be sure to intercept any rebel stack that wins a siege in case they want to walk somewhere they shouldn't.Congratulations on this impresive piece of work (and work it must have been with all the rebel shepherding)

And of course this doesn't even take into consideration the slight hassle of westernization, conquering rome and getting enough Shamanist peons to force convert the world for you
Ryuku would probably be the only country to come even close to a total conversion as they're not tribal and thus wouldn't have to westernize and lose >100 missionaries just from going innovative. If all goes well, my Ashanti should be able to get just over 50% converted...
I've never played pagan nations, so I wouldn't know their troubles - but I'm presuming a Heretic Pagan won't change culture on conversion?
Thanks.
I've given you three brainchilds, are you really in need of more? Moreover, I'm out of interesting ideas. I was tempted to do an Austrian AAR, but this has already been done for HttT. I'll have to wait until I get HttT and find some kind of trick I want to explore thorugh AARs. That might be a long, long time coming...Next AAR please?
Thank you. I'm fond of the religious gif myself.
Thank you - not sure there will be any future adventures at this point.Well done Sir, well done.
Look forward to your next adventuAAR
couldn't help myself
I blame Photobucket. Their service mirrors what they get paid; nothing.
