Venice Video AAR

[unmerged(12438)]

Hey all,

Trying something new with a video AAR, basically me talking over a bunch of screenshots I'm playing as Venice with the goal of creating a nice Med. Dominion all the while filling my treasury. I'm going to try and keep the segments short, ~ 6 minutes. Hopefully it proves to be somewhat entertaining.

Good second episode. Are you going to form Italy?

Probably not. I want to get rid of the CoT in Alexandria and vassalize the Mamluks.

cool ty for answering.

Anyone have suggestions as far as my first national Idea?

I do want to take Quest for the New World, assuming I can get myself a base from Portugal sometime in the future

I think you should get Grand Navy or Grand Army. You need more boats and more men. Whats your trade tech level?

I wanted to leave most of the fighting to my allies and vassals. The smaller Army I have, the more money I get to keep But my Navy is crucial. I think my Trade level is just +1 from the starting value I'll have to check tonight.

Certainly a unique approach to an AAR. I'll look forward to future updates.

Thanks, I hope the segments improve over time as I get more practiced at talking to ones self

Part 3 is up!

Venice goes on a Crusade! What I thought would be an easy land grab, turns into an expensive drawn out struggle, with the advent of a new power.

[liltrogdor]

Have you been cheating? The reason I'm asking is because the consoles open in part 3.

 

[unmerged(12438)]

No, it was opened by accident. Was not sure how to close it :/

 

[liltrogdor]

It opens and closes if you push alt+21. It says on the wiki http://www.paradoxian.org/eu3wiki/Console

Good 4th episode. Your stating to get a lot of vassals. What happen with Tripoli why couldn't u vassalize them?

I could only negotiate with with Algiers, I forget if they were a vassal.

It's time to turn my attention to Sicily though, they are becoming isolated and would make a nice vassal
