I suspect the Cornwallians were heading to your aid in Portugal given your recent difficulty there. It just takes a little longer for news to get through Cornwall.

Amazing
I thought the same thing when I saw this thread here!
Sometimes -I'm- amazed it's still going!
Okay, just wanted to remind everyone about the AARLand Choice Awards currently underway (voting closes in the next couple days!).
No, this is NOT a plea for your votes for this AAR! As much as I enjoy getting recognition, I think I've hardly deserved it for this quarter anyway. Just too busy to keep regular.
And, yes, I'm painfully aware that I haven't taken time to vote either -- a result of the same causes cited earlier.
But, please vote! This is an important part of recognizing great talent, and keeping the Forum and AAR community vital!
Thanks!

Seems like the war is progressing great. I am pretty sure you will secure a great peace deal within a month or two. Now maybe we shall soon see Milan at peace for some time, or maybe we shall see a new war begin at once…
I haven't been promoting conquest recently, but take Alexandria from war to unite your territories and to cut completely their connections to Syrian part of their empire.
PS: I'm disapointed that Swedes and Muscowites just gave up. War in the North would have been interesting to read, because it hasn't happened earlier in this game.

Rensslaer: ...Poland has allowed us military access, which will aid us in approaching Swedish territory.
i don't remember anything gained from this military access ? ?
Rensslaer: ...we accept a White Peace offer with Sweden
later, perhaps ? ? (another war)
Rensslaer: ...Suddenly, we find that we have some strange bedfellows!
hmmm. are you at war with someone ? ? :rofl:
Rensslaer: ...More than 1,200 enemy are killed each day, for five days!!!
that was a spectacular achievement ! !
magnificent updates ! !

Don't forget to link up the middle east territories with Adana. I think you did fight Muscovy once before, when they were allied with Ragusa and sent the odd ship your way.
Hmm... Playing last night, I almost lost everything!
My computer often crashes, because I have unreadable sectors (I believe) on my hard drive -- it crashes when it reads one), and when it does I'm sometimes left with an increase in these unreadable sectors.
One of these zorched a savegame yesterday, and soon after it seemed bad enough that I couldn't even pull up savegames at all!
I emptied the savegame directory of everything except the bad savegame (which wouldn't move without crashing), and then loaded just the most recent game into the directory.
Thankfully, it's working again now!
Does anyone know a good free program I could use to check the hard drive and quarantine these sectors? I know when I was younger they existed, but I haven't been able to find anything of the sort since. Checkdisk doesn't appear to do it (at least not automatically).
Also, I just received EU 3 Complete in the mail yesterday -- how's the savegame compatibility between NA 2.2 and IN?
Thanks!

You're too powerful to lose this game an other way then this.... Such a shame the Sforzas would die of disease...
Rensslaer, you can check those two live system rescue distros:
http://www.sysresccd.org/
http://trinityhome.org/
I've used trinity on an XP box a couple months ago, but I've never used sysresccd on a windows system, however it's supposed to be vista compatible.

I'm trying to catch up, but slowly Renss. So much war...SO MUCH WAR! Be back soon.
EDIT - Hope you are able to save this game. Last thing I want is to get to a point I have no more to read. Good luck.

Good luck.
The only way the ai was ever going to win - fry the human's computer. Hope you are able to recover both computer and game from this.
Sorry for the long absence!
No, the game is not fried. I've played about 7 years past that little glitch already. I'm just really busy, and really distracted!
I'll try to do an update in the next 30-60 minutes...
Thanks for caring!

As one of our fine readers had predicted, the forced conversion of Great Britain did not last…
No matter. Our first hope is that the British will leave well enough alone, and go do their worship in peace. If, however, they enter into holy war with us again for the good of the Pope, we shall have to put them in their place again!
Interestingly, we’re being somewhat helped along by some internecine Muslim warfare. The Ottomans have declared war on the Mamluks and taken Mus!
Gen. Achille Spinoza, a short ways away, is fending off a herd of Mamluks, and hoping he can just hold on a little longer… (watch the morale sliders!)
Back in Egypt, a tremendous (unbelievable!) victory is achieved by Gen. Sfondrati against Bey Khuskadam at Asyut – a force which was basically half-again as many as the Imperial numbers was almost destroyed wholesale! About 27,000 dead, versus 3,000 escaped!
Now, I don’t normally even deal with revolts. They’re too common, and they’re just relatively unimportant. But this one popped up in the middle of the combat zone! Gen. Moscati was on his way to try to aid Spinoza, but instead has to divert his attention against the 7,000 Musselman irregulars.
Largely because he had no hope of relief, Spinoza has to retreat, and leave the Mamluks in control of the ground around Adana.
But he comes back, three weeks later! While, to the south, Egypt is falling to Imperial troops, Spinoza successfully gets the upper hand against the enemy at Adana.
And, just in time for the anticipated Mamluk collapse, and our territorial acquisitions, one of our advisors dies, to be replaced by an evangelistic theologian!
Far to the south, Imperial armies are battling the deserts and highlands of Sudan. The enemy is closing in behind, as we advance, but that won’t last long. These lands have no forts, so we just conquer as we march.
They attempt to end the dismemberment of the Mamluk “Empire”, but we’ll have none of it. The war continues for yet more weeks, as we consolidate our gains, and eliminate resistance.
Truly, I’m going for all the marbles. By January 1636, I’ve secured almost all of their African and Levantine empire.
Haven’t gone into Arabia yet, but that may lay ahead, depending on whether I judge it necessary or not...
And, finally, we achieve peace….
Just not the peace you expected!

Great update, I'm happy for you that that little save glitch didn't get in the way.
Now if you keep your relations high enough you could end up owning Georgia too! Should that ever happen you can attackthe Ottomans from three sides on land!
