Hm....lots of questions that I'd prefer to let Johan answer.
@Niptium: I think I mentioned in the AAR (and maybe also earlier in this comments thread) that Anhalt really isn't in an economic position to contribute in a meaningful way to the war. I also wasn't watching them all that closely so I'm not 100% sure whether they fielded any armies at all, or whether they merely payed lip service to the alliance. I certainly don't recall seeing them involved, but it's possible that they raised a regiment or two that were destroyed without my noticing it. Their fate really hinges on what Brandenburg and I do.
@EnderV: only one instalment was "missed" (last Friday's) as there was no intent to post any on the weekend. Not much catching up to do really...besides, isn't the suspense much more fun?
@otacu: the war AI (and the player, for that matter) has to make decisions based on what it perceives as its priorities. Sometimes this means that gains in one area have to be sacrificed to protect something somewhere else. It isn't perfect, but it does a pretty respectable job most of the time. The same could be said for some of my actions.
@Grubnessul/mandead: I guess so. I hadn't really noticed that shift in terminology. Could certainly be tweaked by the user and might also have changed a little by the time of release. Not sure about that.
@Assos: something like that, yes.
@Mosheer Rommel: I didn't keep close track, but I was stopping to take notes periodically, and to tab out to take care of some other stuff. I also tend not to play on very high speeds when I'm in the midst of wars. In a "regular" SP game I guess I might spend anywhere between a quarter hour to half an hour playing 3-5 years of the game...would depend on what I'm doing and what else is going on in the game that I want to pay attention to. I can easily change speed on the fly or pause at any time -- which reminds me to say that yes, pressing the space bar is one of the ways to pause now -- so I tend to do a lot of both when I'm playing SP.
@CatKnight: I don't recall. I usually have the message settings to get a notifier (pop-up message) when any enemy starts sieging a province I control (whether I own it or not) and I usually react to those messages immediately without refering to the outliner.
@George LeS: (1) yes; (2) might be a result of something else I did...I wouldn't normally see that; (3) generally correct, yes...and there are a few other smallish changes; (4) it ain't so; (5) correct.
@Alexandre: (1) no; (2) iirc it comes independently from province and doesn't draw from MP pool or affect pool replenishment rate; (3) no, though I'm not 100% sure how the current distribution algorithms work if you're short on MP.
@CatKnight (again): wOOt! I shall.
@Varcislaus: thanks for the constuctive criticism...
@Wetew: nopes...it comes from MP pool
@EvilSanta: it did? I don't recall that in EU2 (although it's been a while). I suppose I ought to check that, though I didn't notice any unexpected increase in my inflation. I can't say that I was looking all that closely for it though. (Just goes to show you that no matter how well you think you know a PI game, there's always something else to learn.)
@Fulcrumvale: (1) because that's when I wrote and posted them in the beta forum. Johan is revealing them one at a time according to his schedule/desires; (2) you'll see in the next instalment

Great AAR Mr.T. thanks for taking the time to write it up.
It is appreciated!!.
Cheers, Ice

MrT said:It is possible for:
- An elector to be banned from the Empire and then replaced by a more suitable elector.
- An elector to be annexed and a new member state to be given elector status.
- Suitable lands to be added to the HRE.
- No-longer-suitable-lands to be removed from the HRE.
- Brief periods with fewer than 7 electors.
- Periods when there may even be more than 7 electors.
The HRE is much more of a living, breathing political entity in EU3.
This makes me -extremely- happy.
Thanks for answering my question, Mr. T!
I can see Silesia accepted annexation! Shouldn't try to resist annexation as long as there is a chance of it being liberated by its allies? Please fix it... Such an easy way to gain advantage.
If I united western Europe and therefore had all of the HRE inside my borders, would I be able to let the HRE become extinct or would I be able to create a HRE that had no electors?MrT said:It is possible for:

Hmmmm, I noticed an unopened diplomatic message from Bohemia offering a peace agreement...
Great AAR MrT and I'm very excited about the new HRE!

Forced annexation has been a feature of the series. Otherwise the forums are filled with people howling about nations that are completely pwned stupidly refusing peace demands...etc. I doubt that's going to change any time soon.Hogar said:
Not 100% sure. I think you'd simply be the defacto HRE but you wouldn't gain many bonuses from it because most of them are tied to the number of member states in the Empire. Essentially, it's in the best interests of the Emperor to ensure the survival of as many member staes as possible (and yes, the AI understands this).Nikolai said:

Is there any drawbacks if you make single peace with Bohemia, thus leaving your ally out in the cold ? Would your relation with Brandebourg go sour ?

Interesting... but it is possible to re-create the empire of Charles the Great?
Hogar said:
well, it happened historically (Pfalz in 1620's), but i agree that as long as there's a bit of hope, the country should resist. once other powers agree to peace, the country could formally accept.
that being said, as a player - you have the choice of not demanding annexation of a 1 province realm until you are at peace? maybe from now on i will give myself such house-rule!
Keep in mind that it could actually be in Silesia's advantage to accept the annexation.
If they get annexed, they are out of the war, thus no longer dragging down Bohemia's war score. That way, if Bohemia actually wins the war, she will be in a better position to demand that Silesia be released.

Very very true, Guillaume ! That's the way - huh huh huh huh - I like it - huh huh huh huh - Casey and the Sunshine band.
I never thought it that way - and suddenly forced annexion feel a bit more natural to me. Point is, will the AI ask often for the release of annexed ex-allies ?

... that is if Ai is smart enough to demand liberation of the former ally. Currently there is nothing to suggest either way. Actually we still haven't seen a forced liberation as the part of a peace agreement. It all seems more or less no change to EU2, as far as peace settlement goes.
