All of your bases belong to us!

[Olav2]

Yeah, nice update. Where do you get all those silly pictures (no, not the ingame ones)?

So there were even more colonies down at the Persian Gulf... oh, one always learns. o

 

[PrawnStar]

Good stuff! I did an England WC a few years back - somehow I don't think I got to fight the Timmies that early!

Of course the real question is just how do you get so many pretty girls to model for you

 

[Duke of Wellington]

Good work grabbing so much of iberia. Certainly it is good to finish them before they start getting colonies all over the new world and the war gets a lot harder. I like Anglo-Saxon Iran

 

[Olaus Petrus]

I thought that England was nearly invincible, but still you managed to lose a war against tiny Denmark.

Still good job building British holiday resorts to Iberia and Persian Gulf.

About those resorts: I'm not very familiar with the area. What makes those provinces so interesting? Are they economic goldmines or is it a matter of having a second base from which to expand?

excellent update ! !

Nice work all round. That is quick expansion. How long do you plan to hold onto France as is?

Cool AAR - And nice chicks

 

[Stoertebecker]

Really cool work. Your gameplay is great and even more is your writing. I love your cartoon-style aar's.

I also like to see the british flag so widerspread so early in the game. You're going on quite speedy: What's your goal: WC before 1500?

On the other Hand, I don't know if all of the BB's, like that on Oman were good spent. When you calculate: "2 Povinces for 1 BB" that seems a good deal. But that are poor provinces that will cut down your techspeed. I always found it useful to spend bb on rich lands and SL-wars in the first decades. After that, I still had enough time to expand.
In the early 16th century, it's time for the big heritages: Aragon, Bohemia, Hungary, Mameluks (even if it went badly when I tried that last time: it's not easy (not even possible?) to get the ottomans in your alliance as christian, I think). Then Lithuania. Before you could think about Provence and Burgundy.

When talking about painting the world red: for that, an independent Andalusia is cool: spain can start early colonization, making your goal easier to accomplish. But I don't understand why you cut down portugal: for them, money is the main obstacle to colonize much. Shouldn't you push them to colonize instead of robbing them? I would think that for your goals, Spain, Portugal and Russia would be the best partners in long term. Maybe Sweden - to hold off some protestants and to colonize as well.

One last critic: France is the easiest kingdom, not England.

ANyway: You'll accomplish your mission, I'm quite sure. Don't let us wait too long. I'm waiting for you to prove my scepticism about your strategy worng.

For a start, sorry that its been soooooo long for an update, just so bogged down with work and such, it will probably be a while for the next one to come also...

btw, why so many replies? Havent you heard yet...the EU2 forums are dead!

Great update as usual!!!

Thanks man!

Yeah, nice update. Where do you get all those silly pictures (no, not the ingame ones)?

Thanks...silly pics just from searching google, 'maiden, medieval etc etc costumes'

So there were even more colonies down at the Persian Gulf... oh, one always learns.

hmmm, I seriously question your EU2 hardcoreness :wacko:

Good stuff! I did an England WC a few years back - somehow I don't think I got to fight the Timmies that early!

Cause Im THE man!

Thanks Duke, and yes, I like the new Iran also.

I thought that England was nearly invincible, but still you managed to lose a war against tiny Denmark.

Still good job building British holiday resorts to Iberia and Persian Gulf.

hmmm yes... holiday? no time for holidays, war preparations more like...

About those resorts: I'm not very familiar with the area. What makes those provinces so interesting? Are they economic goldmines or is it a matter of having a second base from which to expand?

Those lands are totally useless :wacko: , just the cool factor of having Anglo Saxon culture there, plus can trade those lands later for one BB each, when they cost less BB to gain...

excellent update ! !

.

MORE ! ! ​

Just hold your horses there sunny jim, an update is never late and all that!

and thanks...

Nice work all round. That is quick expansion. How long do you plan to hold onto France as is?

Thanks! Your answer is in the next update.

Cool AAR - And nice chicks

I know , oh yeah, the chicks r nice too! Glad to have you aboard.

Yes, but those provinces can be 'traded' for good provinces abit later, ie.. lose them while gaining rich lands during an early BB war phase.

In the early 16th century, it's time for the big heritages: Aragon, Bohemia, Hungary, Mameluks (even if it went badly when I tried that last time: it's not easy (not even possible?) to get the ottomans in your alliance as christian, I think). Then Lithuania. Before you could think about Provence and Burgundy.

You mean you went about purposely grabbing lands from inheritences? :wacko: , thats not for me.

When talking about painting the world red: for that, an independent Andalusia is cool: spain can start early colonization, making your goal easier to accomplish.

I would think that for your goals, Spain, Portugal and Russia would be the best partners in long term. Maybe Sweden - to hold off some protestants and to colonize as well.

I want an Anglo Saxon new world, not a mish mash, I want it all for England with the 'proper' citizens.

One last critic: France is the easiest kingdom, not England.

meh

This AAR is in for the long haul, its going to take a while me thinks.

u rule. england(-france) is fine.

plz update the photos on ur old AARs, they're not visible anymore and i want to reread them soooo bad now.

Did you do the "The Real Deal" AARs? I see that this username is banned, but if you can still get to the photobucket and get those pics working again would be killer. I loved those AARs.

 

[Olav2]

Once again, great update. Waiting on a update is like wine - the longer you wait, the better it gets.

For a while I thought the army on The Azores would be like the army on Rhodes in your old England WC AAR. But Pommerania did a good job there...

Ah, the red plague (or blessing!) is sweeping over Europe. When will you start the BB-wars?

hmmm, I seriously question your EU2 hardcoreness

Oh, I'm hardcore (well, not WC-hardcore )! I just haven't played vanilla that much. AGCEEP caught my eye early on - and there's no colonies down there in that mod.

Yeah, well those AAR's are dead, deleted them when got the ban, was alittle fustrated at that time... so no, they are no more (anywhere)... I regret that, couple there that I would also like to see again, especially Megalomaniac and the Pir-ates

Latest stuff that I enjoyed the most was with the AAR's "Albania" (particularly the dream sequence) and "Military campaigns of some of the finest warriors in the world - Volume 1" with Nurhachi

Once again, great update. Waiting on a update is like wine - the longer you wait, the better it gets.

Glad ya liked it

Yeah , they were a killer last time, its sure great that Pomerania got it.

Ah, the red plague (or blessing!) is sweeping over Europe. When will you start the BB-wars?

Very soon

[unmerged(81979)]

Wow, that update was hilarious! Good to see England taking so much.

 

[Duke of Wellington]

Great update. You are cleaning up all those enemies very well now. I like the neighbourhood tech bonus strategy. Never really tried that myself.
