Then it's time to get my freak on civil wars. Next budget reset.

Kinda is.

 

I said that I'd have to go through civil wars to get the country, but it is easier than just going in guns blazing.

 

Retech said that I'd get the leadership position after defeating the other lords and ladies, which is basically ensuing a civil war.

 

I said I monopolised silver

 

Retech said I monopolised a type of silver, technically I am not wrong.

 

So yeah... Where am I wrong?

Since Wales now has a budget of 5m since the nobility has been absorbed into the government, they build a castle.

 

 

And I renew the guarantee of independence I have on Andorra.

no where, but be more specific next time. you caused one hell of a [cabbage] storm by just saying "hurr durr, i monopolize silver!"

I read what Retech said wrong, I know I'm not leader, I have to wait for him to die and then survive the ensuing civil war.

 

I'm sure you spent overlly large amounts getting to a frozen wasteland.

 

Retech said I could so stfu.

 

Then I later posted.

Byzantine cooks design a new food/meal combining chicken and tree bark, and we obviously have a monopoly on this new food. Thus I can say I monopolise food.

Sigh... I maybe arrogant, but you're all arrogant, possibly more so than me, this game isn't BASED ENTIRELY ON REALISM, jesus.

 

So when I state something that might not agree with you, then you can go be all [bleep]y somewhere else, infact maybe I should just post everything to the mod directly and you can't [bleep], but then it'll just lead to people being all like YOU CAN'T DO THAT UNLESS YOU TELL US. There is no right way to actually play this game without one person disagreeing.

Spain builds a military school - 1m

Budget: 2.1m

 

Army de León is returned to Madrid. It'll stay there as a reserve force for fast response and whatever.

 

Army de León:

5000 peasants

800 spearmen

4000 Archers

1800 Swordsmen

400 Men at Arms

2400 Spanish Jinetes

1600 Knights of Santiago

 

Total size: 16,000

 

Oh, and I arm the 5,000 peasants with halberds and leather armour. So, treasury: 1.8m. They can wear pots and pans as helmets.

You should know by now I jump right in and then assess the situation >.>. I'm not changing that.

 

When is the next budget reset I need to get an army going.

Fine, I'll admit I'm sorry. Hmmm I think I have a big enough force to take either Sri Lanka or China.

 

Time to go conquering.

No need, but when I unify India I'll probably need help and you can get some of India if you like.

Mhmmm, India is split up into factions and Sri Lanka is one of em. Some might not even care, some will probably attack, but they're not fully fledged countries so they wont be HARD, just a bit difficult, but next budget reset and I'm probably going 100% on cogs and military.

Megemony suddenly sounding a lot like Hegemony without guns...

Hmmm I guess so, but they'd be alllied with the factions, and not all of them will be allied.

Probably wont kill me, as the time it will take them to react I will probably have a budget reset, and have at least some chance

That is obviously assuming that your *ahem* [bleep]ery that has pissed off a fair few european nations would not cause them to turn on you as at a sign of weakness (ie your entire army being wiped out in battle)

I hope you two idiots realize that if you send over an army of 20,000 to India, 90% of them will die en route.

I hope you know I'm not that [developmentally delayed]ed.

 

The army I sent is around 10,000, split off into many many different types.

Woah woah woah, everyone can calm down now.

 

 

 

Okay, now that everyone is calm, I can explain the situation. Okay, first on the issue of monopolisation. Icu researched a unique alchemical process which generates a higher quality of silver. That is what he has a monopoly on, not silver in general. Remember monopoly doesn't necessarily mean total control of a market, just a high degree of control.

 

As for China, it is a fractured and destroyed country. Its government doesn't have a firm grip on its people, meaning that in all likelyhood, Icu will only have one claim out of many to the throne. That would probaly require heavy investment to secure that claim. Sri Lanka is small and full of peasants, meaning it is only controlled by local strongmen. Local strongmen like marrying up the ladder with royalty, but they have many rivals. It is more like forming an alliance.

 

Larger more stable nations like Japan will be harder to marry in to. Rather, you may be able to secure a royal marriage alliance, but inheriting the country would require heavy investment, defeating rivals, and all that stuff. Inheritance is not supposed to be an easy way out. :thumbup:

Ireland didn't want to form an alliance... :(

 

Anywho, when is the next budget reset? I wanna fight people.

 

Also, I monopolise Iceland. :rolleyes:

I hope you know I'm not that [developmentally delayed]ed.

 

The army I sent is around 10,000, split off into many many different types.

Right. So, you're proposing to take over India with 1,000 men?

Sri Lanka. The hygiene research should atleast help a little bit.

kiev researches everything france does

 

also my remaining budget should bring my infra to 1.05

Sri Lanka. The hygiene research should atleast help a little bit.

The population of Sri Lanka at the time would be around...2-3m or so.

Losing is fun!

 

Now all we need is an "F--- The World" lever...

Byzantine Army:

Group 1: 8200 Cataphracts

Group 2: 8200 Cataphracts

Royal Guard: 3600 Cataphracts, 1400 Elite Pikemen

 

Retech, what happened to the troops I sent to Corsica, and the piece of land to the north of my croatian area.

 

Oh, and boat research begins and all.
