yeah i dont think it's going to be really good because of the lack of historical wars in the period (vietnam doesnt count ok)

And while you probably will be able to nuke the shit out of other countries, it will be really ahistorical so it isn't really nice

You mean as an opportunity to expand? Oh man there are so many wars beside Vietnamese. Think what happened after the war. All of the empires basically collapsed. Creating a lot and I mean a lot of countries especially in Africa which of course then started wars. Beside those Korean War and Afghanistan started as well.India against Pakistan. Israel in the Middle East. Cuban missile crysis could turn into war. As well as a lot of South American coup d'etats.

There are not so few wars during that time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_1945%E2%80%931989

I know m8 but still nearly not as fun as declaring war on Germany as a civilised Thailand and dominating them

oh God why do I think this is gonna be a disastrous.  In my mind there is a picture of Switzerland just H-bombing the f**k out of all world.

This is why I don't talk to people.

Well I am talking only from my own experience with Hearts Of Iron 2 mod where the starting point was year 2003. There I ended up playing as a European Union militarized version. I ended up with having a war against Russia. Started out good but as soon as I got too close to Moscow, well Russia had quite a lot of nuclear missiles in it's disposal and bombed the shit out of whole Europe.

I have no idea what you are on about, I didn't enjoy Hearts of Iron 2 due to the GUI. The only game I enjoyed before Europa Universalis 3 was Europa Universalis 2/1.


I managed to get my Dynasty started from the Byzantine Empire, formed the Greek Kingdom, then the Latin Empire, and managed to make multiple roots involving incest in Hungary (First ruler of Latin Empire married current queen of Hungary which was wedded to the step-son of the ruler, who was his heir) because the queen's heir was my daughter. The reason why my dynasty was in the Kingdom of Sicily was because the Arabic kingdoms in North Africa managed to get majority of the Sicilian kingdom and usurped the title. I did a couple of holy wars and usurped the title for myself, attempting to form the empire of Italy, which failed.

I originally had complete relations with the Byzantine empire as Despot Appolonios, the founder of the Latin Empire, but after his death and moving onto his heir, which is my current character and his son, Konstantinos, the Byzantine relations quickly dropped after multiple affairs and a couple of legitimised bastards that also affected the relations with my mother/wife in Hungary. Due to the heir of the Byzantine Empress was my son, and the pretenders were also of my dynasty, I had the option to overthrow the Empress with multiple strong claims for the throne and she in return had claims on a lot of my counties due to being former Kingdom of Greece with the war of Independence in 1101.



Yes, I know I cheated.

March of the Eagles

New game in development called March of the Eagles, probably based around the 1800's using the Crusader Kings 2 engine.

EDIT: Based during the Napoleonic wars, so right after Europa III/IV and before Victoria II.

[ElMartu]

definitely cool, i had no idea about it

[EenBeeFour]

Follow the developer topics on the Paradox forums and you'll find out about them before they release public information about it like screenshots.

Surprisingly I didn't cheat that cash.

Majority of the nations hate me in Europe except a few neighbours including Bavaria, Belgium etc. due to helping out in wars.

I managed to get first from a Hegemony war on Prussia as they were being attacked by Austria (As per usual).

I changed a few lines in the text files located in the game directory and wa-la, I got Argonath replacing Frankfurt. The reason being to why the Argonath flag is just the white tree, blue border and red squares is because of the government type I have at the moment.

The Fascist Dictatorship is black squares instead of red and the Monarchy and Republic flags are the same as the normal Argonath flag.

EDIT: I also made a custom Socialist party called "Marxist Socialist".

EDIT 2: http://ul.to/jxruh4cb Here is a link to download the flags, some may think they are shit, others may think they are alright. I can't be assed explaining how to change a country's name and shit around, and it's to do once you grasp the basics on how to mess around with the text files without breaking anything.

I'm really doubting you smashed Prussia and France by 1865 as Frankfurt without cheating or modding more than the name and the flag.

If you pay careful attention to the game, you will notice Austria is able to beat Prussia, and I managed to take advantage of that.

I (France) lost the crimean war to Jay (Russia)

Man I have to start playing these games again.
