    Too bad I couldn't get this mod. I am still hoping for an official Paradox announcement about a WW1 game/expansion for a game....particularly Vicky2.

    Alright. So finally somehow the Fatimid heir turned Catholic. Now if I can kill that fat glutton of a Caliph I will lose my biggest enemy and I will get a loyal ally who can save me from the Ghurids who overthrew Seljuks about 10 years ago, and leave me constantly fighting for my very existence.

    At the same time, my army got stalled in Russia because of supply reasons and is getting slowly annihilated....again. It is the third huge force I had sent against them, using all of my possible IC and a huge drain of my nation's manpower.

    But finally, roads are being built and USA kicked Britain, so I have western front secured.

    I am trying to think of ways to take down the Saito clan, and capture Kyoto from the Miyoshi:



    Just started, but still no one wants to join my plot, even though the plot system in this game is 100 times better than CK2.

    And of course, the Ikko-Ikki menace is one of the main problems of Central Japan.

    I feel they will announce it just have to wait until later in the year most probably for WWI DLC for Vicky II as i very much doubt they will skip the Great War during the timeline of the game, so keep your thumbs off.

    Reminds me of the scenarios in Vicky I though A House Divided, A Place Under The Sun and The War to End All Wars; but this time in DLC.

    I always found unmodded Sengoku's plot system seriously broken. The AI never does anything with them. They start them up and invite people but almost immediately leave the plot every time.

    I've already mentioned this but I see no reason to dedicate a expanson to ww1 when we already have a scenario for it in Darkest Hour & the mod for HoI3.

    They already said they won't do WW1 in any of their games. If they do, it's most likely they'll handle it the same with like they did with Vick1.

    The mod for HOI 3 isn't really adequate, I've finished the west in under 2 months.

    That is the main reason I have not played the mod. Devs can make the 'professional' quality of the same thing modders do.

    Nah that's , mods are often made into their own game or incorporated into the game.Also if you have any bit of intelligence it's easy as Germany to close up the war in 1914.

    Not in a multiplayer game though, which is what a fair few of us did. That was a pretty balanced game.

    When you put a human behind your enemy, the game gets very hard.

    I had never played multiplayer in any Paradox title except Mount&Blade Warband, but I do remember a fellow player of mine saying that there was once a war in EU3 between his France-Burgundian alliance vs another fellow who was playing a nearly unified German state.

    He told me that the war started in 1520s over ownership of Netherlands, but it continued on till 1740s until both players became bored and tired to tears and quitted. It was a total stalemate scenario, where the guy who played Germany came up with a huge army and march right up to Rheims until the French armies appeared and killed off his attrition-sick and demoralized army. Then the my friend would march on to Cleves and Oldenberg, where in-turn they were killed off. They took some time to recover from war exhaustion.

    This cycle went on for two centuries, with both players trying to win by tech. When it turned out that they had done this tedious exercise more than 50 times, they got fed up. Then he told me that some huge rebels popped up in their nations, so they quit the game.

    I wonder what would have happened if the same scenario was in Vicky2 and not EU3. Millions of men would be fed to the enemy for little gain.

    Ye I can see how MP would be good, they have the combat sorted out IMO, it's jsut the AI doesn't enough troops to stop a steamroll.

    Originally I wanted to run this EU3-Vicky2 game to the end. Recently I decided to put this game to a rest at 1915.

    Lol, crazy map. Prussia is totally out of Germany, and has large colonies in Africa. Venice owns nearly all of USA, and Slovakia is really WTF type.

    Yes. Back in EU3, Muscovy never formed Russia because Prussia was sitting on all the cores they needed to fire. When I used the converter, it somehow used Slovakia instead but I don't mind.
