1.08 annexation bug

[Marquoz]

Just found a very odd bug with 1.08. I'm playing an improved Grand Campaign (version 1.07) as Russia. One of my allies, Hungary, was suddenly annexed by Poland in 1562. However, Hungary was not a vassal of Poland, was not in a military alliance with Poland (they were allied to me), and did not lose a war to Poland--Poland never dared to attack the Russia/Denmark/Hungary/Bohemia colossus that dominated eastern Europe.

Bizarre bug.

It may have been an inheritance event. They appear to be quite common. Recently I've been inheriting 2-3 countries per game.

Inheritance most likely. I don't see it a lot howevrr.

New Avatar?

BiB, Where did your rebel avatar go to?

 

[BiB]

I want a Flemish shield and this one is very alike it so I went with it. Now to get to the point where I can get a custom avatar ...

Stupid question, but BiB, what does Flemis shield look like?

After BiB replied, I then recognized it. The shield he has is an approximation of one. I live outside Washington DC and we have a truly great Belgian restaurant in a little town called Occoquan, the Bistro Belgique Gourmand, run by by real Belgians (actually, the wife (and Chef)is Flemish and her husband met her on a NATO posting. Truly great food and outstanding Belgian beer which I am partial too. BiB, you get to drink Blanche de Brugges all the time, it looks like! Anyway, they have a monstre flag outside the restaurant with the Belgian (Flemish) lion on it. Looks pretty cool

 

[BiB]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Brugse Witjes (u got the name in French)

 

[BiB]

So, as u can see the Saxon shield looks very alike and seeing I currently am playing a game as Flanders, I started using it.

 

[Dawgboy]

BiB,

The French would be from the Walloons, right? Man, I have got to get to Belgium some day. So many beers, so little time to taste.

 

[BiB]

Well, that's the part where they speak French. Most Flemish know French too though. But that place u frequent sounds like mucho French influenced Quite possible she is from bilingual Brussels ? Or did they just go for a French sound to it as it sounds more exquisite ?

 

[Dawgboy]

Considering most Americans probably think that Flemish folks come from a place called Flemland, I think the Francophone label is just for US marketing purposes. You may be right about Brussels. I'll have to ask Danielle next time I am there.

 

[BiB]

I was actually asked once when I was in the USA why I didn't speak Belgianese Americans, eh

Figured as much that it'd be for marketing reasons, French cuisine has some name at least (not that it is better )
