@Groogy since you're not gonna be put in the after game chat, whihc is really sad, then what were you attempting to do in Australia?
@KaiserJohan you didn't get to give your ideas either. What was you trying for in this session?
Wanted to help out my allies Brazil & Andalusia. It looked like a simple, quick war... and suddenly the world became alot more complicated
As someone who has been rooting for PDXsanke's Brazil throughout the past half a dozen episodes of dev clash, it was awesome to finally see conflict in the Americas, and it was great to see players such as yourself and Benin help against the European hugbox and bring the fight.
Very entertaining battle with great strategic moves like Saxony and Brunswick taking advantage of the less protected European territories and the French Paradox attempting to use their troops to secure victory and eliminate your naval hegemony (which was super awesome to see and congratulations on securing).
I think my lack of experience with MP (first time!) showed up at this war. Was tough to pay attention to multiple fronts and the brazilian army was always late to the battles. That costed us a lot over time.
But don't worry, we are rebuilding our army and navy and will learn from our experience. It was a great war!
(for nothing, really. Andalusia and Vermont should sit down together in a table and negotiate what to do with Caribbean provinces to avoid future war escalation haha)
Delhi's defense game was seriously phenomenal. While watching the start of the war, I thought that they were going to lose big time especially because of the AI Nepal.
I loved that 2 month naval battle on the coast of Cuba.
Lots of time to disembark to get the rum and cigars!!
Had Starnan given up the mandate to Hungary earlier, or even to Japan or Manchu, he would've been able to participate in the war a lot more forcefully
War Fleet
- Japan 430/0
Japans navy is absolutely incredible but something has to be done about the army. I hear the British Isles has some nice manpower and forcelimit?
The problem with giving up the mandate (aside from the fact the still-christian Hungary was unable to take it in the last war) is that after losing it you still get all the low mandate penalties for 20 years afterwards. So, long term it'd be good, but short term it wouldn't make a difference.
Mandate also gives governing capacity, though, and he might be quite worse off without that governing capacity. So he might have chosen to hold onto it, not thinking that it'd be possible to get as beat up as he ended up being during the ganging up on Ming.I had no idea about that actually, makes it all the more important he get rid of it really. He probably should have forced Manchu to take it by 100% and offering mandate to them
