Do you think Kurland should make a comeback, and if so, which nation should we dump?

I just have the feeling that we need more tags for countries..
 
Well... I dunno

I don't "feel" strongly about this issue. But to be consistent, I would come on the side of the nay-Kurland school of thought. I am also a devoted advocate however of the nay-New Spain school.

See, I'm eclectic!
 
No-Kurland here as well... they still were part of Livonic Order, so no need to make them idependent.
 
Doomie and me have decided to leave everything as it is for now. I will unstick the thread (but not close the poll, whereas the alternatives turned out to be somewhat arbitrary anyway).

KURLAND

Deliently leave Kurland out it helps the order to keep P\L at bay somewhat.
 
As much as I like to play Novgorod, it's not worth it. And it never revolts anyway...well, the province did, but I am yet to see independent republic of Novgorod.
 
Novgorod has emerged

once in my games and I enjoyed having it there despite it revolting and forming an independent nation in my Pskovian Realm. After that I tried to maintain it as a buffer to Russia.

But it is rare to see it form a nation. I just remember the one instance.
 
I concur with Viking....

more tags would be wonderful, maybe only 10 or so as not every Province is a sensible revolter

I was just wondering if there were any statements from Paradox on the addition of new States (I know they are focussing on bugs and multi-player) but just in case I figured I,d push my luck...

Thx
 
A small pet peeve.

Get rid of Ryazan in either case. :)

Never liked that it hampered the Russian AI when it came to steam rolling the Khanates.

Before the 1.8 patch, Russia would always stagnate in their little corner and not do much. Whatever 1.8 did, Russia became aggressive and a powerhouse. I've only seen Russia collaspe once.

Russia usually wipes all the khanates out and then expands into Siberia and puts down trade posts and colonies there.

In the IGC, I've seen Russia succeed once in pushing past the Khanates and this is with the Golden Horde still surviving till in the 1700's. What I would normally see, is Russia fail to smash there way through the Golden Horde, then for many years sit and do nothing. As well Russia would then get into wars against Poland. Because Russia hasn't grown in size, fighting Poland became disasterous.

Ah well, its a small pet peeve that I have with the IGC. Nowhere as big as having Sweden annexed by Denmark. :)

Still I do like seeing the Russian bear come out of slumber and steamroll everything in its path.

Yours

Historically....

Kurland was part of the Livonian Knights realm until 1561 until it became a duchy and vassal to Poland. As it stands the Teutonic Order (which includes the Livonian Knights) really need kurland to survive and to link up with Teutonic Prussia.

Anit-Kurland vote (way after the fact)
