It's a slow day...(actually about the Ottomans)

[Memnon]

Well Memmon, great idea you have here. But then, as a VIP fan, I'm afraid i can't implement it. You know, the colonization blocking and stuff.
In vanilla vicky, which I haven't play for sometime now, nobody can say it cannot be done.

Yes, if there's one bad thng about VIP, it's that it can stifle some creativity...

 

[Lamprey]

Actually, when I played Sardinia in VIP I was able to colonize a bunch of Africa right off the bat. Of course, once I turned into Italy I couldn't claim them - but at least having all claims up saved the lands for me

I was running VIP 0.2 I think, has this been fixed in 0.3? If not, GOOD! :rofl:

 

[unmerged(32548)]

Some silly stuff has happened as a result of colony blocks in the VIP for me.

For instance, Carlist Spain can and does colonize bits of the Sahara, as well as all of the minor countries (Texas, S-P possibly, and so forth) which have no blocks whatsoever.

I'm not sure if this was fixed in 0.3, but seeing the white banner and red X over Rio de Oro made me laugh hard :rofl:

 

[Darkrenown]

Lots more bans in 0.3

 

[Surgünoglu]

It's insane. Leave it to Memnon to find a way to make Enver's Turanian dream a possibility in Victoria.

Definitely AAR this. Even if you fail, it'd be interesting to see Pan-Turkism attempted.

And, and as you start granting statehood to everything east of the Urals as you could give a resounding, "I love it when a plan comes together".

Of course, now every Russian player is going to be paranoid about being too successful against the OE.

 

[Claude Luster]

I'm going to have to give that a try. Sounds quite interesting...I wouldn't recommend it to someone unless they were desperate...or if they were just looking to spice things up a bit.

Oh...nice Avatar Memnon

 

[ptan54]

What happened?

 

[Mind Elemental]

Go Memnon! Brilliant idea. I say you do it just for the coolness/originality.

Also, good point, Zorgoth. I wonder if anyone will try it (and, more importantly, manage to pull it off!) in MP...

 

[unmerged(23556)]

i actiodentaly anaxed the ottomans. shouldnt i be aple to become the tzar?
the event didnt fire wen i controlled the provinses

 

[Aragos]

You know, now that I think about it there were some very, very good reasons why the UK, France, et al did their best to keep the OE around....

"For God's Sake Man! Don't take the Balkans! We'll have Turks in Hanoi by Christmas!"
