hmm how come Mike and Jason didn't join us in our game?

There wasn't enough wine!

hmm my Son is looking at it this morning, I think he's going to start a game as Prussia (he's a Paradox head), but he keeps looking over my shoulder when I do turns for our game.. lol.. when I first had the music turned on, he kept asking if I was playing Vicky2.
Ha!  It's happened a few times where friends/family have gotten hooked on a game watching me play it.  Never gets old for me.  ;D

Well I'm at Peace and I don't like that. I have a Cassus Belli for Moroco, so maybe they will be next. First I need to repair my Merchants that were badly damaged in the war with UK. Then I can start selling UCG's wine on the open seas and fund my next war!

I was busy with other games and didn't have this one patched up enough at the time.

Besides, I'm enjoying living vicariously.

Looks like the economic crisis is over, so that's something at least.

Cringe in fear!  Russia has harnessed the power of the Glover tower!  (I have no idea what that is.  Something to do with more efficient lead smelting apparently.  FEAR ME!)

LOL! 


I take it you're still making at least some progress then?

Not at all.  The 18,000 man Khivan army of immortals are still running around in the desert.  They've already killed 100,000 of my men.  I must have triggered some ancient AI curse for they magically replenish to full strength after every battle.  Oh well, at least I can more efficiently smelt lead so the lead lined coffins my army requires will be cheaper to produce.

Good news - I'm building prada and bulgari luxury factories - fear my shoes and handbags

Bad news - just lost 3 trade posts to rebellion

Worse news - first unification trigger is 1860 - I think that's another 120 turns away

I'm just trying to replenish my troops (not enough Manpower), and rebuild my merchant fleets..  Thinking of declaring war on Morocco since i have a Cassus Belli on them.

This is why in my current game as the US I'm not starting any trouble with the Indians. After reading your accounts I'm afraid of undead Indian zombie armies!

Make sure you've got a lot of fast units, ridiculous amounts of supply wagons and a chain depots to support them, and make sure you completely surround the enemy before you take him on.  If he can retreat, you're screwed because he'll just keep renewing himself while you wither away.

We had a major bug with the 1.04RC2 hotfix.  The game tried to trigger the Caucasus rebellion for Russia but it would crash every time I tried to run the turn.  I attempted to use both Tuna's and UCG's saves as my own to try and run the turn as Italy or France.  This worked before when the turn wouldn't process but this time there was no luck.

I searched the forums and found that others had had this problem as Russia as well and it may be related to already having a rebellion in progress when the Caucasus uprising event triggers.  At any rate, the "fix" is reverting back to v1.03e of the game so I've done so and it seems to be working again.  (and I can now see unit cards and the census screen!  Damn, those Finns are pissed at me for some reason!)

Anyway, I now have a new czar.  Not too sure what happened to the old one but you know how these czars can be...



I was also able to lay down a pretty good beating on the Khivans for once.  Not enough to wipe them out so they're back at full strength again but it was enough to give me a bit of a breather so I could reinforce some of my losses and also recruit a cavalry corps.  Hopefully they'll not only have the strength to take on the Khivan army but also the speed needed to keep up with them should they try to retreat.
