Crusader Kings III Available Now!
The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.

You will need a coast guard, a coast air guard and garrisons posted at least every other one along shore (all urbans of course) and keep a quick response cav or armor one province back. I would keep 1cav/1armor army in reserve where there are coasts.
And please note, the AI's are doing the same mostly unless really hammered by at least two or three fronts elsewhere. They do not thin defenses much until then. One division defenses are not fullproof most anywhere for that matter generally.

I am glad you guys are excited!!
It is very much worth it. I think.
All countries start same techs, even the very smallest puppets. But then they would have one tech slot where others have 3 or 4 or many who have all 5. It is about a dozen more techs than RiskMod3 or 4. And some of these first tech have more happening with them, so that within two years tech wise more is available than would normally be, but they are researched mostly very slow.
So, tech wise you start with a lot of basic flexibility game wise and then it improves slowly so there is now tech advance race per say. It is advance by war.
Reasons, game design wise? First it is a 'war' game, a battle mod not incorporating a tech race per se. It is there of course but more subdued. You can get some great advantages but you would need to specialize your research in one or two areas to feel it say in two years or more.
Second reason is the units are very specialized by attribute and terrain and weather conditions. So you cannot (I think) handily win a war or the game for that matter by only building one or two types of units.
Units reinforce better, except where they do not. Some units are not designed to 'recover'.
There are other surprises yet to be discovered.

You have the _________@gmail.com, right?
Also, it sounds like it may be coming tonight or tomorrow...
GeneralHannibal said:Within 24 hours?
That is completely possible.
But through the day I am working on business, so I cannot say for sure till I get my hands back on it later tonight.
However, I keep to frequent updating.
I quit last night at 3am, actually for last 3 or 4 nights in a row, so be assured I not letting little things like sleep get in the way.
:rofl:

Just a waring, I am busy most of tomorrow, so I may not be able to play until Evening in the civilized lands (I.E. EST Timezone)

Only a some 'descriptive words' stand between you and this fine mod.
Believe it or not, I am not trying to 'torture' you.
Last Guild Imperium Update for Beta1
Last Guild Imperium Update for Beta1
This is the last update for Guild Imperium Beta1 as what is left is quite minimal.
Am 'only' writing in sketches so hopefully beta testers who care to or me later in the next beta can flesh it out. Maybe some AAR like last time will provide more 'color' to the mod descriptions. So I am keeping only to the basic timeline.
With that I got a little emeshed in North America when I research a little US Congress history on proposed Territory and State making to get a better idea of 'what could have happened'.
So in keeping with that I changed the name of Morman State to the original, 'Deseret' and expanded its borders a little west north and northeast, expanding it from a 2 province puppet of Texas to a 6 province puppet of Texas.
I also removed the newly added claims of Texas north into Sioux lands and instead created, a new Sioux Nation puppet, called; 'Sequoyah' which is mostly Oklahoma and Kansas, 7 provinces. This by adjusting French Louisana, Texas and Sioux Nation borders to accomodate their insertion.
That done, I had started and will complete making the Pirates, Armed Trading Companies and The Watchers, minimally functional, at least as functional as a normal minor nation though spread out. Long-term they shall be actually major powers and very specialized. But just having them sit there with not even units etc. looked too lame, I thought.
That's it!
And off it goes very soon now.
And I think it could be with some Beta testers response tweaking a go as is and renamed eventually.

How about you release it now and then let us do some of the "describing". I'd like to get this before I go to sleep (early because I have soccer tomorrow)...

I'm not sure if that means I'll be thinking of how good it was, or how good it will be...
Regardless, I'm not sure I'll be thinking of anything while running sprints and that sort of thing
.Ok, so not quite the last update...
I finished a little better than just generic versions of the three wildly separated island countries. So now I think they might be very fun to play or be a challenge to conquer.
The Watchers
Pirates
Armed Traders
As well completed some more loose ends with unit names etc. in last countries added.
Figured out how to do my scenario load screen the way I want it, so I will do that next. Then post in very basic descriptions and will avoid getting 'inspired' and save it for my 'Guild Imperium Book', which has the first chapter done. But for copyright reasons will not be posted at Paradox Forums. However will be available to download from another site as a copyrighted PDF book when Guild Imperium goes out as Guild Imperium One. Both will be available at that time for download from that site.
I built a special AI for the three countries above, they will mostly be focused on sea power, building/researching fleets, marines, paratroopers. Their peace-time IC is 200% increased, so if they go to war their IC base crashes to reflect being cut-off from free-wheeling world trade.
EDIT: Have updated post 1 and 2.
