I'd take down the beast but what would it be worth when the only witness is silent?

However somehow I'm always lucky not to be the direct belligerent or target. I think I'll get out of this fine...

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.

Now this is what I'm here for. Finally grabbing some of that juicy land.

Get that mod which removes the time cap and just let it run.
I believe it's possible to play beyond the end date anyway when you're not doing ironman. There's no reason I have to end at 1836 (planned to run it to the start of Victoria 3, but think I'll let them work on the converter a bit more before trying to continue there).

It has to end at some point though.

This is probably the last stats update before the end! I'll have a final one later, of course. We'll end in 1836, or if there are big wars going on after they finish. That's the plan right now, at least.

Total monthly income (trade from the New World is flowing to Europe, and a lot of it is ending up in the English Channel trade node (which is an end-node by the design of the game, meaning it doesn't flow anywhere from it). @altodevil happens to have a very strong hold on trade in that trade node, and so is making more in trade than anyone, by far)

  10. 265 (+59) - Salt Bailly

Ideas (these are basically upgrades you can take that come in Administrative, Diplomatic and Military, using the currency generated (generally) by the skills of your ruler. They're one way of measuring how well you're doing that doesn't necessarily relate directly to your number of provinces or the size of your armies. If you're conquering a lot you'll probably use a lot of Administrative power on making the new provinces cores, so maybe won't have as much to spend on new ideas)

So i am going to loose it all right at the end?
I might have to revise my position. After the war against @Eboue, which you lost, and the war against China and Japan, which you lost, the Timurids have gone and declared a Jihad on you.



Oh yeah, and also @Salt Bailly and @PSV have seen their chance to get some long awaited revenge for @BootsyCollins relentlessly bullying them for 300 years.

@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.

Glad to see I'm finally conquering things and on the top 8 list, shame it's come so late that we won't get to see the full affects.

I can’t see what happened in that war but safe to say it wasn’t good…?
It was pretty mild I think, actually. But your rapid ascent to Middle Eastern-African-Asian superstardom has been firmly shut down by all parties involved. Now your independence is guaranteed by Qi (China), so nobody is going to attack you at least.

You have something in common with @Shakesey now. You're both one province big.

What a geographical mess! :lol: Is the game going to focus on getting 'clean' borders, or would that happen after the time period you've chosen?

The Personal Unions have made it a bit worse here, since that means Solius started taking areas over by RedSky's border, and same with P-Nut and V.O. If I run it long enough it would probably sort itself out a bit, as countries start blobbing some more and the big eat the small.
