So I sent the Aztec's packing.

[chimosh]

I love the Aztec DLC. It makes my games a lot more fun. It adds a threat to the area of the map that needs one. The west got too stale by the 1250s normally. It's great to shake things up. Bravo Paradox.

In my last game, while my sprawling kingdom of Brittany was in the middle of a war to finally push the Moors from Spain the Aztecs suddenly landed in Galicia. Although my troops were already called up in the area, I faced a two front war. I rushed my armies to Galicia by boat just before the Aztecs were about to assault themselves to a 100 warscore. What surprised me, however, was that after I beat the first 100k stack reinforcements kept coming. While I was in the middle of winning battle, suddenly a boat would arrive and dump 25k more guys onto the battlefield out of nowhere forcing me to react.

As soon as I win the war, the Aztecs then turned their power to Scandinavia. After quickly subduing Norway, many of their new Norse vassals revolted, Sweden declared war, and the Pope called a crusade onto them. I couldn't help but join in -- free kingdom, right? The Aztecs force were severely depleted. I won the crusade, and then Sweden finished off what territory remained outside de jure Norway. No worries. Around the same time the Golden Horde reached the edge of Poland and the Illkhanate took Anatolia from the Romans.

No whales were harmed in the making of this post, and the Aztecs were forced to do their own packing.

Did you find it easy to get rid of them?

Sounds like the Aztecs invasion can be stopped if a player is well established, like in my game.

Does no one know that the packing sentence is slang? I mean I am Australian, and I am pretty sure this is common English slang.

Not to forget: I applaud the OP for his valiant effort. Not having dealt with the same situation it seems to be quite the accomplishment you were able to achieve.

Thx

It's very common slang here in the States, at least. I'm not sure about the U.K., and Ireland, though.

i bought the aztecs dlc, but im not at the invasion yet. just want to say that the boat strategy i do all the time, its awesome. Its not a cheat just good thinking
ps - give us the ability to load our games into EU4, so i can invade their homeland.

I know guys it's been asked for several times, but still. Can I somehow start Aztec invasion in my pre-aztec saves? I've got pretty large muslim empire and no real foes in 1270. But the invasion just don't start and it's pretty boring to wait 100 more years for Timurids. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can. Open up your console and type:

event SSI.1

That should start the invasion chain (you still need the DLC though). If it is too slow, try SSI.2 or SSI.3.

Oh, we know it. As the one who first commented on the packing, I was commenting on the misplaced apostrophe, which changes the meaning entirely as someone else pointed out.

Oh, and at least I didn't comment on the whales, like the preceding half dozen posters had.

I have a Aftasid-Andalusia-Hispania game which got gamey really fast (I declared an invasion of Aquitaine for fun and drama and captured the French king in the second battle. Cue me losing Aquitaine to a crusade twenty years later, but not before my steamrolling of the rest of the Iberian peninsula), and maybe I'll convert it to 1.08 to play against Azteks, but I was able win wars against the Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate. Retinues made the game so much easier it almost hurts, fighting the HRE with all holy orders/Golden Horde/Ilkhanate requires much less tactics and luck than before.

Also, chimosh, never enter the HoI3 forum, it's so much worse and humo(u)rless that it'll make you think the people here are the crème de la crème of the Internet.

First time the jokes funny, the second time.... not so funny. After 10 posts about the same thing......... just **** pathetic.

And it becomes downright mockery when you consider that a lot of people on this forum doesn't have English as a first (sometimes even second) language. Mocking a simple typo over 20+ posts might make some who are not so secure in the language very reluctant to post.

(Probably half a dozen grammar mistakes in this posting - guess what, English is my third language, after Swedish and BASIC )

 

[postm00v]

Oh come on guys, we're all grownups here, right ? So they made a few jokes about a spelling error, so what. People nowadays take themselves WAY too serious.

 

[_krampe_]

...whiny rant..

When you say "Ontopic", you actually mean "Offtopic", right?

No, i ment EXACTLY what i said

OP: Anyone else able to totally stop the Aztec's in their tracks?
My answer: Did not buy the DLC

Maybe now even you will get it.
You need courage to admit you like the aztec DLC? Sounds like SERIOUS BUSINESS ... laughable

First time the jokes funny, the second time.... not so funny. After 10 posts about the same thing......... just fcking pathetic.

Uhh did you ever thought about that most of the people only posted once and read it their FIRST time? The first time it's funny you know...

The only one who behaves pathetic is you!

Thanks, man!

We use it over here too (in Ireland), especially now with masses of international TV shows at our fingertips.

I prefer an older culchie one myself: "Beat them out the gate...and back in again, too." It comes mostly from sports, specifically the GAA where inflicting a heavy loss the opposition would merit the phrase.

This still sounds pretty retarded to me, bud.

Isn´t it reassuring to know professional grammar English teachers will help you learning on this forum how the apostrophe is correctly used in the English language?
Portuguese is my first language and I believe my French and my Spanish do not sound as bad as my English does. Hey, perhaps I could also benefit from a few online internet lessons.

 

[Bad_Haggis]

I got the DLC, no Aztecs have shown up. Thus whales must have eaten the boats.

Seriously calm down people.

The logic is over 9000.
