Also the tactic of committed expansion. It's probably more relevant to EU than CK, though.Blob should probably be on the list - a large nation with unpleasant borders.

I also keep seeing the word "canonized" in some AAR writers. Specially in CK1 AARs. I got canonized. Forum-wise, what does it mean?
I mostly see them in their siggy (signature). I'm not sure if it's to be taken literally or not as I have seen quite a few AAR writers sporting that same message in their signatures.Made a saint?
My understanding was that gamey signifies some action or mechanic that breaks the player's immersion by being distinctly unrealistic. As in, "it's gamey because it couldn't be done in real life, only in a game".

At this point, we're just covering acronyms that came about even before the internet.ASAP: As soon as possible
@Achab, I've added MP, but I'm not so sure about MPC and OOS.
@Valinn, the mods mentioned in the OP, with the exlusion of possibly VIET, range from somewhat to really famous. I haven't seen "The Prince and the Thane" being referred to with its full name, and SWMH and PB are almost always antonymed. Do note that I pick out what to include and that I either modify the suggestions or just outright refuse them. Thanks for the "MTTH" suggestion.
@Chamboozer, it might not be so, as immersion is not a vital part of the definition of "gamey"
@Generaloaf & brxbrx, it's there already
@besaccia, thanks.
@PadrePio, do we need it? I don't know what to write to summarise it neatly, actually.

@aniuby, thanks for the pedantry I've updated the OP with your info.
@ZechsMerquise73, I've never seen it used like that
The two I had in mind were VIET and the Somewhat More Historic mod. I haven't heard of either of those, although admittedly I'm not heavily into the modding scene. And I've never seen Balansegang called PB, but maybe I just missed it. And I've never seen EK either, which I think is usually just called elder scrolls.
Very nice work though. I'm sure a lot of folks will appreciate the list.
You're hurting me, Darkgamma. Where's the love for brx? And his royalty check?@Valinn, the mods mentioned in the OP, with the exlusion of possibly VIET, range from somewhat to really famous.
