Forgive me if it has been written already, but what difficulty are you playing?

Normal/Weaking, since this is my first serious EUII game.
 
"Jan 12 - A 300g 'gift' to the state.

Ernst: Why is the word 'gift' in quotation marks?

Ludwig: I have no idea. *hides bloody 2x4*"


Awesome,just awesome.
 
Ernst much more deserves a title...

Other than that, smart to discover DA. It would've been even smarter if you had done so sooner :p
 
How the heck (for lack of, or inability to use, a better word) did you get so hated?! *jaw drops* :eek:

Anyway, hoping you can somehow make your way through the eternal madhouse that is the European continent (in the game that is, though I don't doubt the description's relevancy for RL ;) ) and lead Bavaria to greatness... again!

And don't ever lose that charmingly witty (or downright inanely hilarious, in some cases) style of yours! :) :rofl:
 
Eagerly awaiting the update.
 
All I can say is...


COOL!!!!

Make up my own song...

Sieg für Bavaria!
Kein folgt(step) zurück!
Die zweite Germania!
Wir sind die erste Bayerische reich!

Nähe alle unser deutsche brüdern sind todt
Und alle die welt hasse uns
Das ist kein problem,
Weil wir sind ein Bayerische reich!

Ludwig und Ernst sind das beste
Ohne dem, wir nicht hab sieg...
Ist Ludwig ein sehr gut könig?
Ja, ja, ja weil dies ist ein Bayerische reich!


Yes, I know the german is just awful, but still it's a good anthem :D
