Great to see this back. Gunkaar seems to be on the verge of bringing the combined power Asia down on the heads of the British. This should be interesting

As someone who has been lurking in this thread for many months now, I'd like to say that I have enjoyed every moment of this AAR and I look forward to the future updates.
Gotta love how Dalip and the PM end up just bickering with each other and Gunkaar, who pulled off the whole thing, is just ignored.
The "Why do I get the feeling it has to do with treason?" line made me laugh.

I wonder how long it will take for Gunkaar to just get fed up of the two of them?
An alliance, how did you do this in-game? Did you just white peace then ally? Or did you edit the save somehow for roleplay purposes?
I'm new to the game, so can you explain what you have done to make China friendly, Selzro? Was it indirect assistance or simply a coincidence (which is doubtful considering the expansive buildup)? Still, another great update .

He may have sphered China, which would account for the trade benefits that he mentioned. Great update! Sun will never set on the Indian Empire!
Hoooly crap thia ia great stuff. I couldn't even call myself a lurker since I read it all in a night.
Very good sir, and you've got me wanting Victoria II, and that is a mean feat since I absolutely hated Vicky I

So, India got a ... er, institutional problem between a ceasing PM and the theoretically politically toothless King ... all created by the leader or the government party, that, by pure accident, is the grandson of the former
In the end, it is yet another cliffhanger, since I'm not seeing Dalip accepting this peace treaty lightly. So either we have another absinthe binge or another less than fully legal action by his part to continue to have some power ( or maybe even both at the same time *faint* ). And even if Dalip gets beaten, i do not see his future relations with Gunkaar as any less than strained ... unless Dalip gets completely pushed to the side :/
Things are subtly drawing to a conclusion…
Heh! It’s not the mural, it’s the principle (and the power over Parliament that goes with it)…Perhaps Dalip can start collecting Chinese friendship murals instead.
Not to spoil things, but it’s probably the latter.
Thank you!
It had been so long without updates, I couldn’t leave you with another Chinese Plot cliffhanger without furthering the story significantly…
Panjab is undustrializing fast. It’s already got the world’s 8th highest industrial score.
Hehe! It so is!
He was born in 1796 and it’s not 1877, so he should be about 81.
Assuming he was born at around 1800, he should be a bit under 80 himself.I'm more inclined to wonder just how old that Envoy is
Ah yes. With China firmly in India’s sphere, no foreign power can hope to win a land war in Asia!
It’s good to hear your words of approval!
Hyperbole, pure, shameless hyperbole.
Please, don’t stop.
Gunkaar is quickly learning the importance of working behind the scenes.Gotta love how Dalip and the PM end up just bickering with each other and Gunkaar, who pulled off the whole thing, is just ignored.

For now he is! (I’ve been leaning towards naming him Wu Youyu, but there hasn’t been much of a cause to bring his name into the story).Fu Manchu is immortal
Thanks!
Miles ahead from the rest of the civilized world!
Once he’s properly the PM, it shouldn’t take too long…

Funny thing about this game. You can build up influence with a country beforehand and use it to pull them into your sphere right after you make peace. The whole war business does nothing to limit the extent of a GP’s diplomatic influence. I had been influencing China before war broke out, and it would actually have been in India’s sphere if they delayed their declaration of war for a few more weeks…
That’s high praise indeed! I’ve never played Victoria I, but a friend of mine who did and found it tedious was thrilled with Vic II, so I suggest you give it a try!
Hmm, why didn't the king visit the nobles?
Because he already go peasant hunting with them?
or *shock* disapprove of that???

For some reason the fact that all the different parties are color coded brings me great joy.
