A simple question

[Heresson]

Palaiologos; I can't send You anything right now, because I'm in Warsaw now.
Mamluks You can find in Civ2-creation/Scenario League forum. It's not finished. When it comes to corrected events, You'll have to wait for it. For now, replace events
("events" which You should rename to events 2) with events1 (which You should rename to events) and clear scn file with delevent.

I had some time now and played a couple more years (it's 1758 or so now)

Netherlands were completely annexed, British and Songhai Empire crushed. Next war should bring complete annexion of
England.

[Heresson]

I returned to home for two days and I had a new session. I feel a need to boast. Though some my small trading points in India and America were destroyed, I conquest most of Arabia, Punt, India and Indochina,
breaking powerfull Indo-Omanian alliance. New one,
from Arabia to China was established, but when I attacked again, they chickened out and I'll have to wait with conquest of great China some more time.
Usually a war in east Asia takes me 3 years. 1 on preparing, one on war, and one on reestablishing 3-point stability.

[Palaiologos]

I don't get it. Which Empire do you control? The Polish?

What is your difficulty setting and AI aggresivenes?


Me with settings on normal(Byzantium), i liberated Rome from the Catholic heathen along with Vienna and Isfahan at about 1550s and invaded the Aztec Empire at the 1760s. The hated Ottomans were by then a long, forgotten memory.

[Heresson]

I play as Venice. I don't know what difficulty level is it.
I guess not very big. But who cares.

[Dauphin]

Heresson, have you tried using the print screen function?

Ssssh, it's art!

[Dauphin]

I s'pose they do resemble Jackson Pollock's.

[Heresson]

Well, I couyld do that, but though I would be able to show my state and my vassals, I wouldn't be able to show the grounds once occupied.

[Dauphin]

Try using outline maps.

[Heresson]

Two things I don't understand;
1) I can't show what I wish to show on outline maps,
so how can I?
2)Why there is a border between Engand and Scotland, Engalnd and Wales (and between Serbia and Tchernogora)? If there is, shouldn't there be a similar ones in Russia?

i was having two campaigns in NA and two in the far East recently. Results soon shall be shown. I know You just can't wait...

[Heresson]

Oh, the game was over, just when I was preparing to another war, which was supposed to be directed either against the puny British-Swedish alliance
(England has one heavily fortified European city and a lot of trading points. By taking the capital I probably can annex it all, as well as Sweden, which has its capital and two trading points), or against Persian-Uzbek-Indian one
You can see the final territorial result at the bottom.
My only ally is Poland which has a very strange tactic. It was my ally, when I declare war on sb it immediatelly betray me and next month propose a new alliance. I agree. Why not?
Soon I'll play a new game. Yet, this topic is finally over. I'm starting a new one over a bit other topic.

[Heresson]

OK. Here is a map of amy new game.
I play France, I felt strong and started conquests immediatelly, going from war to war. At first these were small ones. Later, giant ones. And when I was fighting one block, of northern Germany and Poland and England or stuff, another attacked me, with Austria, Hungary, Venice, some other states. Later there was another war, again with England and Poland, but also with Scotland which proved to be a hard nut to knock. And when I finally beaten all I accidentally signed a peace treaty with all alliance instead of Czechia only. But oh well. I will have my revenge another time. I don't remember all the story exactly so that's it.

Dark red is my original France. Lighter red are my conquests,
orange - vassals, brownish - allies (Papal state), black - current enemies, yellow - currently occupied enemy state
blue - never occupied ground, light blue - once occupied one.
feel free to have the most absurd comments to it

Heresson: What is the settings which you are using for your new game?

[Heresson]

The settings? I think it was "normal".
I forgot to take the savegame, and now am playing Byzantium in Great Campaign, is "easy" or "normal" settings. It was horrible at the start. I was constantly falling in debts. I got some money by making Albania and Raguza my vassals (and anecting Bosnia). Albania was harder to beat than I thought, though. Then, profitting from Vlach and Moldavian attack on Turkey, I attacked it too, and soon Trebizond joined this action too. But Poland, Lithuania and Transsilvania attacked them and destroyed completely, and I had to fight alone. Eventually, though a big revolt started in Greece,
I managed to reduce Turkey to Macedonia only. But then I was attacked by
Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, Austria, Venice, Modena, Toskania, Wirtembergia and Switzerland (who earlier anected my vassal Raguza). Venice caputred Bosnia, but lost Kreta, Ionian islands and Korfu. The fight is still on. I signed peace with everyone except for Austria and Venice.
