Let's Discover Eastern Rome - A Basileia Romaion Mod AAR

[Nikolai]

Poor Byzantium. The most resurrected corpse in the Paradox community

But I love the world setup. Especially Elysium. And also, love the fact that you managed to get your badboy so high you got cut down to size so early
Who's the leading Great Power?

I will need to Czech Republic (pardon, it's a silly joke in my family), but I believe it's GB.

Just when I quit last night Golden Horde decided to cut me down to size too btw. All I did was to wage two wars... tsk tsk.

 

[Nikolai]

Another cut down to size play. No idea why they are cocky, I have 1.5x their potential troop numbers right now?

If the Seljuk joins them, though...

 

[Nikolai]

Oh. OH.

 

[Nikolai]

War won.

But my economy is in a bad state now.

 

[Nikolai]

The HRE is at it...

Well then. Let's see who is cut down.

Thing is, their navy is bigger than ours...

 

[Nikolai]

Highest taxes, no construction and we're slightly in the red. My navies are too weak, my armies that get through too few, and the HRE won't attack. I lose a little more war enthusiasm than they.

 

[Nikolai]

White peace! Rome prevails!

 

[Nikolai]

Doing this, they are fearful, I like life.

Then the Bulgaria bug happens again, I am suddenly at war with Bulgaria which is revolting, and the other diplomatic play is gone. I kept my infamy from it though...

 

[Nikolai]

Ah, no! It seems the revolt triggered when Africa gave in. Hmmm.

 

[Nikolai]

The HRE wants to cut us down to size again.

This happens as we recently took Great Britain's place as #1 world power. But we also have no railroads yet, the tech is 1-2 months away. We also have built some 60? 80? Barracks recently.

The world powers as of August 1st, 1856:

Our economical standing:

 

[Nikolai]

The war sent us into default and cost us about 1/3rd of our GDP. But we got a white peace, again.

 

[Nikolai]

Not sure how to get out of this hole. I was ca 300 in surplus bureaucracy when the war started. When I got into default it fell to this, and I cannot get it up again.

 

[Nikolai]

I believe I will end it here......and start a new game in the new 0.11 edition of the mod.

 

[The Kingmaker]

The Byzantines always make for compelling alternate history scenarios.

Interesting start, @Nikolai!

Indeed they do. And as I said in the post above, this is not the start, it's the end due to problems with the save.
