Nice coarse voice ;) I've given a small look ( will wait for the better quality video that vimeo says it's being uploaded ), but if you need some help regarding software for the recording, feel free to PM me ( I have some experience setting live streams in a semi-professional way, so I think I can g...

Nice

Now , are you going to create some kind of Alsace-Lorraine situation ? It would probably be justifiable, especially in your game where France seems to have some ...issues

.But again, you probably have more to do in this moment with the GB war ...

[CENTER] http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Vladimir-Putin-Clapping.gif [/CENTER] Congratulations ! ( I know I have been out of the comments, but mainly because I really would not be much of help in managing a Italian superpower :p ). The only real beef you had was to have not been able ...

I don't really have a plan at this stage. I think I'd like the British to come to me in the opening phases. Its very hard to sustain the fleet on a sort of blockade so the best is if I can challenge the British in the Med. As you can see, I've built some bearpits on the Mediterranean Islands so if ...

Oh well, it would had been nice toconquer Egypt in a hole piece, but alas :/ ( P.S Note that I only read the previous update now , so bear with me ... ) BTW thanks for the brush up on the economical part of PON ... god knows how brittle the economical system in the game is and how it surely collapse...

r_rolo1

Hum, Italian soccer talk ... when it is not Fiat , it is Berlusconi ... and when it is not Berlusconi , it is the Camorra :/ On the game itself, well, I see that you're being working on getting to the Nile in Sudan ( besides the missionaries in Khartoum, there is extra colonial activity near the Egy...

Well, your CP leakage is putting yourself in crash course with a number of really unwanted guests. First the Prussians/Germans, then the Mahdi ...I sincerely hope you will not have issues big enough to distract you from beating GB, but I really don't expect that you can avoid atleast a crisis with G...

r_rolo1

Be careful when twisting the tail of the British lion. Your empire is basically just one big long coastline, and (historically) they had the ships and the ability to deploy large armies. With the home islands and India they have an enormous manpower pool. If they were still at war with Prussia, I'd...

You don't need to feel bad about Gran Paradiso history, given that most of the first European national parks have exactly the same origin :/ Apparently the GB prestige evolution is even worse ( for you ) than I thought ( I was under the impression you were making a slight advance against them in pea...

r_rolo1

Well, your analysis about the prestige combined evolution of you and the GB only empathizes the fact that you need one or two wars with them to peg them down and those wars must bleed them dry in terms of prestige and stop them from recovering. I'm not sure about this, but I assume that, based on th...

So, the Austrians(-Hungarians) still had a little of fight in them ... and your top generals decided to retire right at the time the war was over ( now that was a smooth move , Gari :D ). Anyway, this war is over and hopefully this is the last time you need to walk to Wien with bayonets in this game...

r_rolo1

Now that is better, with a suitably beaten Austrian army ;) For sake of clarity, what I was planning in my armchair generalship for this was a double pronged attack to conquer the right Danube shore with Gari and some other high ranked general, while the other armies would methodically wipe the prov...

r_rolo1

Director summed up my thoughts on this. you were expecting a Austrian performance at the level of the Ottomans and that was , at best, a optimistic view, given the disparity of performance between both in the first wars against you ( the Ottomans gave you a bloody fight but in roughly equal terms, ...

r_rolo1

Well, to be honest about the AI performance in the first Austrian war, it is not that they had much of strategic choice besides either risk a landing ( given your full control of the Adriatic, that would be just short of a suicide ), Sitzkrieg in front of the Dolomites ( that would be pretty much as...

r_rolo1

... and, to the surprise of no one, Russia gets a casus-belli on Prussia :D BTW I'm sensing a diplomatic crisis between you and Prussia brewing because of Dar es Salaam. As Prussia apparently is in push crisis mode, that can really turn ugly. Those sunbathing Prussians ( are they still there, btw ? ...

r_rolo1

It looks that in your timeline Russia and the UK are not worried in leaving a buffer Afghan state between them in Central Asia :D Besides that, the Prussian fixation in being a big bad boy without actually uniting Germany ( it looks that they got a Willem II on steroids instead of a Bismark :p ) and...

r_rolo1

Even if it the PON engine is counting wounded in the kill count, this war is still a major carnage in XIX century terms and it will take quite a while to recover from it ( especially Austria ). If the Prussians neglect to help the Austrians to quell the inevitable rebel uprises, things will be messy...

r_rolo1

Hum, the Austrian moves were quite ... well, not sure if desperate or stupid ( maybe both ), but as they opened the door to Wien, you would need to be quite a idiot to not use that gift. The fact they compounded their error by not using their two armies at the same time to protect their cap only add...

r_rolo1

Austria seems to be very close of the breaking point ... too bad you couldn't eliminate that almost trapped Austrian army, but even then you are solidly in offence and it looks that the Austrians have not much more to throw into the fight than the troops you see. But even then, caution demands you r...

r_rolo1

Ok, got here ( I'm Ricardo Rolo from Paradox forums ... just decided to use my CivFanatics alias here when I signed in ). So, and finally Italy decided to move out of the bloody mountains. The results are not 100% encouraging ( the defending defeat at the mountains was definitely not ideal, in spite...
