Gaming 1836 - The Europa Universalis 4 Experiment (Hands-off) - Map & stats in second post - Final Map and Stats update - Timelapse video

[nimic]

Dynasties are a bit weird now.

hobbers is ruled by a P-Nut (the dynasty, not the country)
Salt Bailly is ruled by a hobbers.
altodevil is ruleby a de Abizzz.
Organic Potatoes and BootsyCollins are ruled by an Eboue.
Igor Drefljak is ruled by a Samid

The only ones who are still ruled by their own dynasty are Eboue, BD, Wing Attack Plan R, P-Nut, Abizzz, Samid and Andycoleno9.

@Solius has picked another victim of his awfulness. @Wing Attack Plan R has largely stayed out of European affairs, but this time he has no choice. Also he's at war with the very big Timurds right next to him. @RedSky is also there, like he always is.

 

[nimic]

Also, @AnotherLondonManc, @Organic Potatoes and @VeevaVee have teamed up and decided to actually win a war for once. Re-colonization has begun.

 

[nimic]

We have our second major Revolution:

Revolutionary @BootsyCollins.

I'm here boss!!

Nice, i think. I have no idea whats good or bad in this game

 

[Cheimoon]

Does that mean he no longer has the advantage of that awesome 21 year old ruler he had?

Yes

What a gang. Never a doubt

Geez, are you sure guys that you have enough army? Maybe to call 2 or 3 more allies to be sure?

 

[hobbers]

While they're busy in Mexico should I not be finishing off the rest of non-Spanish Europe.

 

[BootsyCollins]

Yes

Wait, what?

 

[nimic]

Wait, what?

He got overthrown, you're now a glorious revolutionary republic. Down with royalty!

 

[BootsyCollins]

He got overthrown, you're now a glorious revolutionary republic. Down with royalty!

Ok, i (only guessing) its still better to be revolutionary than not, so here is for a glorious future.

 

[AnotherLondonManc]

I think... yes! There's a feature in a save-game inspection website that shows the total size of the country. I don't know how they make that determination, but I'm pretty sure you're in the millions of square kilometers now.

This is actually an interesting topic. Barring an extraordinary eventuality whereby OP, Veeva, and I crush Solius and his minions, it's pretty clear who will have the greatest empire at the end of the game.

So what will be the other categories for the end of campaign awards?

Most hawkish
Biggest overachiever
The @Shakesey participation trophy
...

 

[nimic]

Okay, don't get too excited, but I tried to see if the EU4 to Victoria 3 (next game in the series, chronologically) converter even works, and...

Spoiler: THIS IS NOT EU4

The converter is still a very early version, so who knows if it even works properly actually running it. Also who knows how well an "Experiment" would even work with that game. But it's at least remotely feasible to convert save games over.

Another example:

Spoiler: THIS ISN'T EU4 EITHER

 

[SilentWitness]

@SilentWitness converted to Sunni Islam.

My true calling.

 

[Cheimoon]

Yes

That's a long retirement that dude's facing. Tough life!

 

[Walrus]

Nope, but you're allied to Gujarat and they have half a million men.

And yet I didnt see them in any of the war screens you posted! Useless.

 

[nimic]

They're a new development. They really like you for some reason.

 

[Eboue]

1st peasant army, what a grim way to end a dynasty

this is perfect since hobbers hates the common people

 

[altodevil]

Please take this through to HOI.

Would have been great if we started in CK as bloodlines etc first.

 

[Walrus]

It would be fun, but probably horribly balanced. Maybe give the defeated/tiny players a chance to restart somewhere else in the next game?

 

[Eboue]

oh wow this is just getting started huh

 

[nimic]

oh wow this is actually almost over. Only one stats update to go, and then I'll do some kind of final update/summary/whatever for 1836 (our end date).

 

[RedSky]

It's been a great ride for most of us, while others spent their time holidaying on a remote island for hundreds of years

I've been itching to get involved, but I'm inconsequential. And on a hundred posts...

 

[RedSky]

All because you allied with that numpty Crackers.

 

[P-Nut]

You're starting the next experiment straight away right...

 

[nimic]

All because you allied with that numpty Crackers.

To be fair, I think your trio was coming down anyway.

 

[hobbers]

Big day today

 

[RedSky]

To be fair, I think your trio was coming down anyway.

I travelled back in time and gave my people the machine gun.

 

[nimic]

@Eboue does what @RedSky has been pointedly ignoring thinking about for 200 years: he declared war on the senior partner of his Personal Union, @BootsyCollins. @BD is being a pal and helping him out.

 

[SilentWitness]

Note to self, sign up to experiment early to be able to get best powers.

 

[nimic]

Oh, and @PSV got involved in someone else's nonsense - again. This time his opponents field a cool 1.3 million man army. @P-Nut has turned into some kind of warmongering maniac in the last stages of this game, and he's bringing @V.O. and @hobbers along for the journey. Not that hobbers probably needs a lot of convincing, being somewhat of a warmongering maniac himself.

 

[nimic]

@hobbers and @Wing Attack Plan R are finally at war with each other. I've kinda been waiting for that one all game. The weird part is that they're at war because Qi, which is the ruling Chinese dynasty, declared war on WAPR (probably over his Asian possession), and they've somehow contrived to ally hobbers. Good choice.

 

[nimic]

Nothing to see here, just @Solius and @RedSky going off on another adventure. This time they're visiting @SilentWitness, @BD and @Abizzz.

 

[RedSky]

 

[nimic]

Qi and @hobbers already finished with @Wing Attack Plan R, and now they're coming for @BootsyCollins. Who was already losing his war against @Eboue. Eboue got his independence, but also decided to take Bootsy's capital in Nyland.

Harsh.

 

[BD]

Solius has gotta be stopped
