Just a matter now of painting over the last few annoying pieces.
 
The Ottomans do look like much to take but you handled that in a very efficient way. Onwards to global domination of the one true Horse lord Commi faith!

The Ottomans would have been MUCH harder to fight if I didn't decimate their manpower and trap (black flag) the majority of their army in central Asia beforehand. Because while I was certain that I could have won battles against them, why bother when there's an easier way? :p

I like the Red Alert part :D

Red Alert has great music. Too bad the game itself is pretty trash. :(

I didn't realise that returning to monarchy wouldn't return the old flag, or did it and you're just photoshopping it like you did with the hammer and sickle initially?

No, I didn't Photoshop in anything. I think that's to symbolize the revolution becoming more stable/abused, like how Napoleon crowned himself emperor of France once the French Revolution stabilized, more or less.

Finall my own capital, thanks to @firezatswill9. :)

Of course! At the end, I'll do a quick rundown of who has what provinces, and what they're named.

Just a matter now of painting over the last few annoying pieces.

Yes, and one of those pieces was a right pain, I'll tell you what! Full explanation to come later, though!

these Ottomans sure die quickly to the wrath of the horse-god!

Who'd want to be a Janissary when you could be a COMMUNIST HORSE SOLDIER?!

Chapter 19: (Communist) Party in the USA

Hello, comrades! I would like to, once again, welcome you to the Sarig Yogir, the world's best socialist state!

Now that the Ottomans are neutered and unable to resist us, we take a moment and focus on the western hemisphere.

Colombia is already at war with one of our CNs, so why don't we jump in on the fun? :)

20171121231208_1.jpg


And now, we're off to destroy Canada. They've had it too good for too long. :cool:

20171121231749_1.jpg


Thanks to our CN holding land in a separate war, we're unable to full annex Colombia right now, but it's fine. It'll be faster to just take everything we hold and hope that they get full annexed by our CNs.

20171122212557_1.jpg


And now it's Brazil's turn to join the Great Commune!

20171122213448_1.jpg


Ah, it looks like the people have elected a successor to the seat of "Supreme Comrade," excellent! He's a bit young, and he just so happens to be out current Supreme Comrade's son, but fear not, the proletariat have selected this child! And who are we to deny the people what they want?

20171122213738_1.jpg


Good news, some of our subjects have seen the light, and have abandoned their false gods! ALL HAIL HORSE GOD!

20171122214439_1.jpg
20171122215517_1.jpg


Canada, Brazil, it was nice to beat you!

Since the vast majority of our FORMER CN's lands give us 0% OE, we're only coring the lands that used to be owned by natives (those lands actually give us OE). I mean, why would we waste resources on coring land that does fine without being cored?

20171122220846_1.jpg


OK, Beta America, you're going down! Freedom isn't free, huh? Well, who needs freedom when you have EQUALITY?!

20171122221010_1.jpg


Ah, another of our communist bastions in Europe have officially melded with our nation! Glory to the Supreme Comrade, glory to Horse Jesus!

20171122221239_1.jpg


Puny Americans cannot stand up to Russia-born Oiratian communist horse worshipers!

20171122223104_1.jpg


Your colonies can't revolt if they don't exist!

20171122224259_1.jpg


I think it's time for a little bit of "Manifest Destiny," and we're destined to directly own Louisiana!

20171122225040_1.jpg


No contest, we're the best.

20171122225102_1.jpg


OK, Colombia, you're going down this time!

20171122225418_1.jpg


One Louisiana down, one to go!

20171122225855_1.jpg


Brilliant, some of the African heathens have seen the light!

20171122230438_1.jpg


Colombia is no more... for now.

20171122231130_1.jpg


Next on the chopping block, Mexico!

20171122231736_1.jpg


spanishinquisition-1.gif


NOBODY EXPECTS THE COMMUNIST INQUISITION!

20171122232044_1.jpg


Well, that's a light novel right there! But hey, who are we to turn away generals who wish to further the revolution? :D

20171122232409_1.jpg


And with that, the last of our helpers has rejoined the motherland. All that remains are our three vassals, Iraq, Persia, and Riga.

20171122232553_1.jpg


Montezuma's not going to get his revenge this day!

20171122234446_1.jpg

Hmmm, Chile looks like it's a bit bigger than it should be. We should fix that. ;)

20171122234626_1.jpg


And, after a good 300 years of peaceful coexistence, it's finally time to put the Ottomans in the ground.

20171123000033_1.jpg


But first, we gotta celebrate our new canal! TOTALLY worth the money we spent! :rolleyes:

But really, we're making money hand over fist, with nothing else to spend it on.

20171123000258_1.jpg


More people see the error of their ways, and wish to join the motherland!

20171123000610_1.jpg


And by SOME people, I mean EVERYONE in Chile. :p

20171123000709_1.jpg


Well, Ottomans, it was a good run. You were almost a threat at one point. But, alas, you weren't, and you will be remembered in the annuls of history as the one that allowed the revolution to succeed!

20171123001632_1.jpg


Alright, it's time to move on California!

20171123002711_1.jpg


And then there were but two vassals. At least Iraq converted all their lands to animist!

20171123002801_1.jpg


Bye, California!

20171123003611_1.jpg


Our Supreme Leader just LOVES Peruvian Puff Peppers, so I believe it's time we give him DIRECT access to the fields.

20171123003653_1.jpg


Pfft, who cares about mountains? With a general like ours, we cut THROUGH mountains, like they were butter!

20171123004112_1.jpg


OK Ming, it's time you give up your mandate!

20171123004307_1.jpg


See, Ming? Was that so hard? I'm glad you kept the mandate warm for us, though! :p

20171123004350_1.jpg


Now that we've become the Mandated Emperor of China, we can further decrease our core creation cost and time!

20171123004626_1.jpg


Peru, we're glad you decided to join us in full! Just drop off your belongings at the gate, we'll redistribute them right away!

20171123005157_1.jpg


And now, we get an event tied to the EoC. Free mandate is a no brainer, considering the "negatives" we'd have to face.

Meritocracy only affects adviser cost and spy efficiency, iirc. We're SWIMMING in ducats, and who cares about spy efficiency at this point, anyways?

And, I think that's where I'll end this penultimate chapter. The next chapter is going to be the finale, so you better hold on, folks, it's going to be a wild ride!

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter!
 
No, I didn't Photoshop in anything. I think that's to symbolize the revolution becoming more stable/abused, like how Napoleon crowned himself emperor of France once the French Revolution stabilized, more or less.
Although you're going back to a monarchy, you're still revolutionary so I guess that's why the new flag is still in place. I'm not sure how you can actually end the Revolution, maybe by going Republican Dictatorship like @atwix said? Do you know because of all your commi revolutions atwix whether you can end it, by any chance ;)?
 
And how goes the Horse-faith?
 
Finale
Hello everyone, and welcome to the FINAL chapter of our communist former horde! As the title of the final chapter holds significance (as well as an important link), I've elected to put it further down in the chapter, so just remember to click on the chapter title to get the full effect!

20171208204040_1.jpg


Ming has fallen, and we have taken the mantle of Emperor of China! And the our Chinese Communist brethren seem to like that!

20171208205427_1.jpg


Mandate AND meritocracy (EoC's special version of legitimacy) for some unrest and autonomy? That's a no-brainer!

20171208205431_1.jpg


This is an event that would allow us to move our capital to one of four cities in China, but we're having none of that. Aleut is where our capital will always be!

20171208205514_1.jpg


Louisiana, we'd like to make a purchase...

20171208205635_1.jpg


I'm glad they accepted our payment of bullets and crushing their army!

20171208212024_1.jpg


More stability and meritocracy. Man, it's our lucky day! :D

20171209142705_1.jpg


Ryukyu, what are you doing here? Well, since you're following the one true faith, we'll just bloody your nose a bit.

20171209142725_1.jpg


Now, this is an event that you will get a few years after taking the Mandate from Ming. It CAN be a free conversion to Confucian, but that's not what we're about. Instead, we took a single stability hit.

20171209142915_1.jpg


Ryukyu admits that we're better. A very good compliment, indeed!

However, there seems to be a problem with our clergy...

20171209144226_1.jpg


We seem to have given them a BIT too much power. :eek:

20171209144259_1.jpg


Unfortunately, Riga, you're too big for us to annex before the magical date of 1821, so we're going to need to cut you down to size, and then some. :( Nothing personal, it's just that this is a TRUE one tag run.

20171209144937_1.jpg


Profits in Mecca? Don't mind if I do!

20171209145603_1.jpg


And now, the second canal has finished!

20171209150502_1.jpg


Riga is left with only a handful of provinces, and we make sure that they remain animist.

Riga is the nation that was giving me trouble, as every time I'd full annex them, my game would crash due to the large amount of provinces that would suddenly have enough unrest to make rebellions. So, after a LOT of trial and error, I found that this peace deal is the most optimal. We give about 60% OE (for us) to Persia (99.9% for them), and core the remaining 130% ourselves.

20171209162934_1.jpg


English Brazil, it's time to go down!

One thing you'll notice, when it comes to DOWing our former colonies, is that I almost ALWAYS DOW on the first of the month. That's because I break our relations off (via the subject tab) at the end of the previous month, so that their forts are kept unmaintained for the tick of the month. That way, we can just march in, break the walls, and take a level 8 fort in a matter of days! :cool:

20171209163233_1.jpg


Like so! English Brazil had a single level 8 fort, but since we were strategic in our timing, we were able to take it in less than 20 days! After that, all we needed was the capital and a few provinces occupied, and they roll over easily.

20171209163418_1.jpg


Time to mop up the rest of Riga.

20171209163906_1.jpg


Riga is finished, but we're having a bit of an issue.

Our Supreme Comrade has noticed how the clergy have seemed to take hold of much of the nation's direction, and has tried to take back some of the power they held in the form of provinces!

However, they took offense to that idea.

20171209182953_1.jpg


:eek:

With so many rebellions in his glorious nation, our Supreme Comrade retired to his room, and started to pray. And he prayed, and he prayed, and he prayed, begging for an answer to come to him. When suddenly, an answer DID come to him, but not from Horse Jesus, no. It came from a man, and our Supreme Comrade thanked him, before enacting the plan he was given.

It was at that point, that the Supreme Comrade ran down the halls of his court in Aleut, shouting to the heavens.

"OF COURSE! My comrades, have you heard the good word of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ?!"

Chapter 20: The Supreme Comrade Turns to Jesus

:eek:

I-I'm sure the Supreme Comrade's just joking. :confused:

20171209183052_1.jpg


Oh. He's NOT kidding. o_O

20171209183209_1.jpg


I guess turning Christian was something worthwhile? I mean, we got a LOT of prestige from doing so.

20171209183254_1.jpg


OK, Colombia, it's time for our last dance!

20171209191625_1.jpg


And Australia, just because you come from a land down under, it doesn't mean you'll escape the sights of Hor- I mean, Jesus! DEUS VULT!

20171209191644_1.jpg
20171209193432_1.jpg


Two down, a handful left to go.

20171209194159_1.jpg


Haiti, it's time to get out of my Caribbean!

20171209224348_1.jpg


H-how did such LEWD things get into my WHOLESOME game of EU4?! :oops:

I think I might need to make this AAR rated R at this rate. o_O

20171209225419_1.jpg


Well, it looks like our Supreme Comrade's idea of asking this NON horse Jesus guy for help has, at the very least, brought our cabinet together on more issues!

20171209232938_1.jpg


99.99% of the Caribbean get!

20171209233008_1.jpg


Time to get that last .01%!

20171209235255_1.jpg


Many students wish to visit the Forbidden City in Aleut for learning. Well, to do so, they must pay the price!

We actually have been saving up money for a LONG time, since our economy TANKED due to rebels. Hence why we had almost 100k ducats stored up earlier.

20171210000436_1.jpg


Australia had insulted us, but decided that bribing us would be the quickest way to peace! Fools, peace cannot be bought!

20171210003559_1.jpg


Our Supreme Comrade's wife, the Supreme Comrade-ess, had been found having an affair with a member of our cabinet! This ONLY happened after we abandoned our old god for this "Jesus" fellow! Maybe this was a mistake...

20171210004857_1.jpg


But, for now, let's clean up Outback. ;)

20171210005006_1.jpg


No pirates in MY Caribbean!

20171210011053_1.jpg


We have two possible heirs?! Why, which one could we be given, the really GOOD one, or the terrible one?

20171210011102_1.jpg


As if there was ANY choice. :(

20171210014148_1.jpg


But, y'know, after our wife cheated on us, we decided to get a little even. And the fact that we were given a child is just a happy coincidence. ;)

20171210015226_1.jpg


Yeah, we're looking a bit preoccupied at the moment. :confused:

Now, full disclosure, I had played through these last 20 some odd years at LEAST a dozen times, since this final bit relies SOLELY on AI pathing, which we ALL know can be a fickle mistress. I actually FAILED the One Faith by two provinces TWICE, due to piss-poor AI pathing and province selection. And, I'd like to show you something from one of the past failures.

I've been told that @Florryworry_ had made a 1 million man stack. Well, I think I had that beat by just a TEENY TINY bit.

20171204204016_1.jpg


Yeah, I'd say that 7.6 MILLION men is a little more than 1 million. So what if they're not MY men, it's still a 7.6m stack! :eek:

20171210015232_1.jpg


Now, it's time we finish off Australia, and maybe take a month of rest from war.

20171210015400_1.jpg


But, that means that the rebels WON! We now are worshiping Horse God again! Huzzah, we're worshiping the right Jesus, HORSE JESUS!

20171210015633_1.jpg


But, we're still not done yet! It always comes down to this clash of the titans, doesn't it? o_O

20171210015640_1.jpg


Ryukyu, no matter what happens, may the best horse win. It's been an honor to face you in combat.

20171210015819_1.jpg


Persia, our longest lived vassal, has finally integrated itself into our nation. Meaning that Ryukyu is the only nation left on Earth.

20171210015926_1.jpg


Scratch that, Ryukyu WAS the only other nation left on Earth. :p

20171210020011_1.jpg


And, on the faithful day of January 23rd, 1817, our missionaries reported to the Supreme Comrade that they had, well, they had run out of heretics and heathens to convert!:eek:

20171210020108_1.jpg
20171210020110_1.jpg
20171210020115_1.jpg


That means only one thing... HORSE GOD HAS BECOME THE ONLY DEITY IN THE WORLD! ALL HAIL HORSE JESUS!

As the word spreads of the end of all religious violence, and that there is but one nation in the world, our musicians play loudly the song of triumph!

It's title is [Sarig] Yo[gi]r's World!


It was at that point in time, that our Supreme Comrade felt that he could rest easy, knowing he did Horse God's will, ending the centuries of strife and pain that he and his followers had been forced to endure. It was then, in the dead of night, that our Supreme Comrade was awoken by a bright light, shining more brilliantly than any fire.


As the light dimmed, our Supreme Comrade could make out the form of a being, sitting in one of the chairs in the room. As the Supreme Comrade looked closer, he could tell that it was none other than Horse Jesus himself, and the Supreme Comrade was immediately moved to tears. As he cried in joy, he looked to the God in his presence, and asked him a question.

"My lord, I have spread word of you across the globe. And I must ask, are you satisfied with my work, have I done well in your eyes?"

Horse Jesus just sat there for a moment, looking at the Supreme Comrade, who was laying prone as he wept. As the Supreme Comrade looked to his savior, Horse God looked at him, and then gave him a symbol of his approval:

maxresdefault.jpg


Horse Jesus then proceeded to go to the Hall of Dead Religions, to gracefully accept his place as the one and only God of Earth, while simultaneously showing respect to the fallen religions that had once repressed his righteousness.

One_faith_animist.jpg


THANK YOU ALL FOR READING! The story of Horse God's struggle has ended, but there are some things I need to show off, so people know I completed my promises. And to show them the promise I made of painting the world three shades of red (Animist, Communist, and Yuan!)

So, first off, here's some stats, for those who like seeing stats!

20171210020357_1.jpg
20171210020402_1.jpg
20171210020416_1.jpg
20171210020539_1.jpg


As you can see, we fought a LOT, and a lot of our men died! But it was all for the greater good!

Plus, you can see that, as promised, @Tom D. is the highest dev. province in the world. BUT, what you don't see, is that I later renamed some provinces to fulfill my promises I made earlier!

20171210020547_1.jpg

The aforementioned Tom D.

20171210020553_1.jpg

@parats with it's capital of paratsburg.

20171210020600_1.jpg

@ParigonSaber is the new name of Paris.

20171210020746_1.jpg

@stnylan can hang their head with pride, as they have the province of Constnylaninople!

20171210020944_1.jpg


And, because I will look for pun names if I'm not given a specific province to be renamed, we have Darthnah!

But, ending the game as Sarig Yogir isn't a satisfying ending, wouldn't you agree?

20171210020959_1.jpg


Forming Yuan would be MUCH better, I'd have to say! And forming Rome is LAME and EASY, so to heck with that!

Yuan1.jpg


New traditions are ALWAYS welcome!

Yuan2.jpg


Pretty good, but useless at this point.

Yuan3.jpg


Huh? Tom D.eijing got renamed? WE CAN'T HAVE THAT!

Yuan4.jpg


Much better!

Yuan5.jpg
Yuan6.jpg


Three shades of red, as promised!


Yuan7.jpg


Proof that I got One Faith, as well as the Yuan Achievo. Oddly enough, every time I got to siege Berlin, there's no castle or capital there, so I can't get that otherwise easy cheevo. :rolleyes:

Yuan8.jpg


And, one last look at our idea groups and score.

I would like to that each and every one of you for reading, and I hope you enjoyed this campaign! I know I did!

I'll be glad to answer any questions, or just plain old chat with you down below! But, other than that, I'll see you in my next AAR!

A rollicking good read.

Haha, forgot that you had to do that already :D. Awesome, thank you for that!

Do I even want to try and say that out loud :p?

I'll see you in my next AAR!
Now I'm curious, what kind of madness can we expect after all this madness we already got? Is even more madness even possible :eek:?

Congratulations on this insane run, it was enjoyable till the last second, well done :)!
 
Nice ending! i get you can avoid CN in the americas by having your capital there but how did you manage to get rid of the australian one?
still, impressive! (and the losses don't count that masssive 7.6 million stack)
 
Well done. One question: why did you briefly switch to Coptic?
I'd imagine to get lots and lots of animist rebels to convert all that land to get the one faith.
 
A rollicking good read.
Congrats!
Good aar, quite impressive progress you made during the early stages. Looking forward for your next one. :)
Congratulations on this insane run, it was enjoyable till the last second, well done :)!

Thank you, I'm glad you all stuck with me for this long ride! It took much longer to complete than anticipated, but I hope that the end result was satisfactory!

Haha, forgot that you had to do that already :D. Awesome, thank you for that!

I will admit that, aside from the original "make Beijing the highest dev province and name it Tom D." deal, I did have to go back and look for who won prizes when it came time to name provinces. Paragon Saber was the easiest to remember, since I always had the goal of "Parisgon Saber" for his/her prize.

Nice ending! i get you can avoid CN in the americas by having your capital there but how did you manage to get rid of the australian one?
still, impressive! (and the losses don't count that masssive 7.6 million stack)

Well, simply put, you cannot have CNs ANYWHERE if your capital is in the Americas. I'm not sure if that's also the case for having a capital in Australia, I'd need to test that in console.

Well done. One question: why did you briefly switch to Coptic?
I'd imagine to get lots and lots of animist rebels to convert all that land to get the one faith.

@SirKaid It's exactly as @EmperorofMordor says. In order for religious zealots to convert land to their religion, you CANNOT be that religion. If we stayed animist while the animist zealots rose up, all that we'd get would be autonomy and religious violence modifiers on all sieged provinces. Switching to Coptic was purely for the mass of missionaries we get from being Coptic and holding Rome, Jerusalem, Mecca, and Alexandria. Those missionaries were used to help more animist rebels spawn, by knocking down the missionary maintenance to 0 and then sending them to animist provinces.

Now I'm curious, what kind of madness can we expect after all this madness we already got? Is even more madness even possible :eek:?
For your next AAR, may I suggest doing the Three Mountains? :D

Honestly, I think my next AAR will be a lot more chill than this one was. I completed a TTM run just before I started this run, so having done 2 WCs (well, one WC and one WD) in a row, I'm thinking a nice, relaxing game is in order. And my other really stupid idea would have me starting in Asia for a third time, so I'm going to be pushing that back just a bit.

Instead, I think I'm going to do another nation. A European nation. A nation that, according to the forums and such, doesn't really exist. I just need to finish mapping out what borders I want, and we'll be off to the races, so to speak.[/QUOTE]

Belgium? :D
 
I thought the exact same, don't know how to feel if it's indeed a CN Belgium :p. If you want to model it to the current form of Belgium, you have to take a Constitutional Monarchy as your government form and give all the provinces a seat. That's at least how I do my EU4 Belgium runs :rolleyes:. If it is Belgium of course ;).
