Post your Empire

[General Brewster]

Anything Dutch is the best

[General Maximus]

Looks nice.

But I am scared! What would happen if a minor Catholic (now heretic) duke was about to inherit my dearly carved-out Roman Empire! I would die of fright.

On the second note, all can see how overpowered merchant republics are.

[Gandalf.]

Ehh, not so powerful compared to me. The ocassional embargo war makes them remember their place.

[General Maximus]

I totally embargo them from my Eastern Roman Empire.

The Venetians once opened a trade post in Constantinople, but I didn't kick them out (mainly for economy and tax bonus). Then they dared to declare war on me to seize the Hieron district from me, at which I was furious. They actually declared war not only on me, but 3,752 ships and 70, 000 Byzantine soldiers, excluding the retinue of 10, 000 Cataphracts.

I crushed the hell out of them, then I took their little island city and colonies around Adriatic. I gave it all to a trusted general of mine, and made him independent.

[Gandalf.]

Lol. I guess that's revenge

[General Maximus]

Lol. I guess that's revenge

Indeed. Now I just keep looting them to death for quick cash.

My current goal is to raise my levy count to 200, 000. That is the estimated size of the Eastern Roman Army when Roman Empire was alive.

[Sir Adrian]

How do you raise your levy count?

[General Maximus]

How do you raise your levy count?

By constructing more and more military buildings in your holding, and letting the vassals develop theirs.

[The Kybrothilian]

Also keep vassals happy, and try to rise their levy laws. Getting full feudal levy law should be easy.

That's pretty easy to get by the late 1100s.

[General Maximus]

Seeing a divided China to finally win the Kashmir Conflict is one of the best things when playing as India:



Other than that, I have not disbanded my army in this game. Just waiting to attack on Taiwan, my navy is already deployed there but is causing international pressure on me. UN is simply angry with me.

This is why you don't fight a two (three?) front war, kiddos.

How come Belgium is still independent?

[Ferdiad]

Why not?

[General Maximus]

Why not?

Because whenever there is a war between the Germans and French over anything, Belgium always gets caught in one way or the other. Especially because it is mostly in sphere of either of them. And even when it is not, it is under Britain who gets involved in the fight and they have to turn in anyway.

[Ferdiad]

Games are not real life.

[General Maximus]

Games are not real life.

Who said that?

[Kamikaze470]

How come Belgium is still independent?

Technically they're in my SoL. During a lengthly period of power vacuum within Metropolitan France, they did indeed enjoy being free of all influence from the other powers. This was to be brief however, when the victorious Legitimists backstabbed their Jacobite allies whom in return caused their own downfall, the Belgians whole heartily recognized the new regime by sucking up to me offering a alliance to scare away their German neighbours renew the bonds between us.

I addume you caused the Russian Revolution early? Did the allies manage to push that far up from greece or did you fail to close off Serbia fast enough and they reinforced?
