30 years all together. Every decade will see the Nationalism revolt risk drop one point.

don't give up hope!

But if you move south of some line, you will find provinces without nationalism!

 

[Morpheus506]

Hmm... what line is this of which you speak?

 

[saskganesh]

ROTW?

sout of kars/syria line. nubyssin i think is in there. Turkish Anatolia gets nationalism so points east and south are all good.

this means, of course, that Persia is your best target.

 

[Morpheus506]

Persia was already my best target.

Can't go after Europe (esp. Poland) b/c they'll all band together and kick my ass, and can't go after Turkey for the same reason. Persia's been hit with so many revolts I can't count, so their army is pretty beat up, and their country is so big they could have all their guys on the other half and never get there by the time I stole Armenia and Kars.

I could also go after the Uzbeks, but I have a royal marriage with them and my border isn't really ... there. I have a lv 6 colony in Alga, and that hits like diagonally to the closest Uzbek province. Plus if I ever take command of this piece-of-crap alliance I'm in I want them to give me help against the aforesaid Persians.

btw, I hope my next war with Persia gets me control, or has Kazan and Russia drop out so I can leave it and then pull it all back together again. I can't just wait 10 years, y'know? Must..... CONQUER........ AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

 

[saskganesh]

keep the uzbecks on your side for now. they have big armies and can be useful as a counterweight against the russkies and open a second persian front.

maybe you can build relations up to diploannex at some point.

 

[Morpheus506]

The diploannexation of both them and Crimea were originally part of my plan. As I have said, Persia is now my main target, and they will be good helpers against Persia, the Uzbeks more than Crimea now that Azerbajdzan and soon hopefully Armenia will be mine.

 

[unmerged(8545)]

Uzbeks have some reasonable leaders too. As allies they arent bad.

 

[Morpheus506]

Unfortunately, I did go to war with Persia just recently. I captured Armenia, Kurdistan, Nuyssaybin, and was on my way to Isfahan when a militarily superior army beat the crap out of both my armies and screwed up the whole plan. Then the game froze. Now I have to do the whole war over again!!!!! AGH!!!

 

[unmerged(8545)]

froze???
Crashes are much more common - see my Mughal reports.

 

[Morpheus506]

Yeah you're right; it did crash. I just have the habit of saying froze from my old Mac (and the previous pc for that matter).

wow...makes me almost wish i couldve understood this game. anyway....good job on the aar. only 300 more days of your life left! your constant randomness (like in real life too) makes it more fun to read than others.

 

[Morpheus506]

Thank you for the compliments Grahamule.

Welcome to this forum!

 

[unmerged(15687)]

wow...bigger words than you usually use. I never knew your thinking level was higher than your height. Anyway, thanks for thanking me, and keep writing your aar before your computer gets thrown out of the window.

oh yes

[Morpheus506]

STOP SAYING MY WORD!!!!

AND STOP CALLING ME SHORT!!!!!!!

 

[unmerged(15687)]

just so everyone knows, morpheus is having some...issues and won't be able to get on, except for maybe weekends. He managed to hide and get me his EU game before his computer was....taken and soon to be destroyed. He'll be back in about a month- season. hopefully he can finish this soon though.

 

[Morpheus506]

AAAAH HELP!!! THE WRATH OF PARENTS IS uPON ME!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!


But really, this will not be updated for four or so weeks unless my parents take pity on me and give me back gaming privileges. Same goes for the Tuscan thread. I will however come up with ideas for future aars (came up with 5 so far )

 

[unmerged(15687)]

wow its been a while....when are progress reports lol

 

[Morpheus506]

As I said, my game is kinda, ahem, dead at the moment. Once we at my school get interim reports out I will probably get it back. I don't know when they come out, but it's in a week/week and a half or so.

Spanish speakers can read the translation on El Foro Espanol.
Why, I don't know, but you can.

 

[Morpheus506]

Although I haven't been able to actually play this game, I have been trying to find places to put screenshots. Thanks to Nikolai II (sp?) for mentioning this site in another thread. I now have screenie ability!

Screenie #1
Screenie #2
Screenie #3
Screenie #4
Screenie #5

I would post them directly into the post, but the site I am using won't work that way, so you just have to click on the links.
