We are not Romans, @KaiserJohan , the Romans fell and lost. We may be the last descendents of them but that should not define us. We are our own people, we have our own hopes and dreams. We are not fond of war like, the warlike Romans, but we fight and die when it's needed of us. But the bells of war are sounding, the sound of the bell is echoing throughout the body and soul of every single Theodorian. We will not fall today, we will not fall tomorrow but tonight we dine in hell! AVE!! THEEEOOOODOOOORRROOOO!!!


(so any help you might want to give will be much appreciated :D )

After a 30-years period spent defending the oppressed peoples around the world - especially in Theodoro and the Papal State - the Dutch stand ready to continue their quest for the world's foremost colonial empire.

And to take vengeance upon the Scottish, who returned to their homelands as if overnight and stabbed a dagger in our ally's back. The British Dutch Isles will be Dutch!

^not looking at the top for the max manpowers I imagine @Bratyn

I have no idea what is wrong with the manpower list... It comes from the exact same print using the command line... I will ask Groogy when he is back.

In any case, it is certainly not correct. My own max manpower is about 40k, for instance. Persia's is 140k.

PS: I don't understand why people are helping grow a monster like Dheli.
I find myself asking the same question.
I suppose it's linked to a much less dense player population in India compared to Europe.
Last week we were still around 11 in Western/Central Europe whereas the Indian region only has 5 or maybe 6.

While I agree about Europe, in all fairness the same could be said for Burgundy. It has been unstoppable for a century now and is probably stronger than Delhi.

The people of India are fine but thank you for your concern.
We have just answered the desperate pleas for help from the many peoples oppressed by Gujarati oppression. From Africa to Europe they seem to have gained quite a few enemies.

Meanwhile, on a continent with an even lower player density than India... :p

To be fair, it's true that Burgundy and Delhi both need to die horribly before the end of the Age of Absolutism if anyone else wants to seriously contest for top spot. Gujarat (who is currently 3rd place) is probably done for, and both Arheo and sidestep are 6 points behind Matthieu and 8 points behind Trin, so they absolutely need to overtake them in AoA score.

It's a fair point, although I don't nearly have the score of Delhi or Burgundy :)
Even before the first session I decided the only course of action was to abandon the continent and move to America. Given the dominance of last campaign, being flanked by the Marketing Sea to the East and Burgundy/Holland to the West I would be doomed to die just like Hamburg caught between these two power blocks.

We survived the turmoil of the 16th century and are now a true powerhouse. Now my idea groups just needs to be repurposed to WARRRRRR!

To their credit they did try to gang up on me last time and were close to succeed.
But I haven't backstabbed any ally so far so they did come to help as I did in their times of need.

On the other hand the power players in Americas and India have run pretty much unchecked for most of the last age and this new one.

To be fair, it's true that Burgundy and Delhi both need to die horribly before the end of the Age of Absolutism
Please don't put us in the same basket as those ugly turncoats :(

The trophy should go to whoever your AI programmer is. :p
As it happens, it's our Bavarian player Michael who is working on the AI the most.
He's also the one who got repeatedly cut down to size by his AI neighbours everytime his country was starting to take off.
Isn't karma a bitch? :D

Also, are Glasgou and the other provinces there already or haven't you had the time yet?

I didn't have the time yet, also I wasn't sure if I'd continue the naming convention for Scottish culture as well... Maybe :D

Oh by the way, can anyone explained what happened to Scottland? Why did they sell all their land and go out of the game in just a few years?

@wazp knew I was coming for him as payback for his treachery (the deal we had to split the British Isles involved a clause to not join wars against myself or Burgundy, and they tried to loophole through that by attacking Papal State instead - a fact they didn't deny when I confronted them about it), and even WITH the support of the others in the Marketing Coalition (and those in Italy), just Burgundy and myself could take them on easily. When Prussia and Pomerania, arguably the two most powerful members of that coalition, decided to not only withdraw their support from Scotland, but outright actively target him for conquest, he knew the writing was on the wall. His aim thereafter was just to form Iceland and have some fun, and selling provinces meant he could do that faster. Also, he knew that the sooner he'd let me have all of the British Isles, the sooner I'd be willing to protect him instead of war him.

At least, that's how it seems from my point of view.

yes, yes! Wazp betrayed the whole marketing alliance in a heartbeat just to form Iceland. I even heard he paid Bratyn in beers just to make it go faster... Prussia and I tried to stop the fool from having his country implode by forcefully taking his land and safeguard it while he was on his mad trip!

Can confirm. Many beers were had. Wazp was the instigator; definitely not the victim.
