But i agree, trading is a good way to get money for small states, especially if they have a good Free Trade Slider, but i have no idea where that one is as Alsace. Our sliders are in pretty good shape for trading. Decently high free trade and plutocracy.

We will have to wait until government tech reaches level 27, which will allow us to change to an Absolute Monarchy. This will probably take 200+ years. The other option is to allow ourselves to become vassalized, which will result in a change of government that is aligned with our superior. This of course, would be quite the tricky and risky process. | ||

Alsace, the small nation in the heart of Europe that have close to nowhere to expand to. Constantine as you all know, has done the great conquest of Baden, and he is still hungry for more glorious battles. He had vassalized Wurtemberg, the last neighboring nation that does not have an alliance with a nearby supernation like Austria or Burgundy. He was heartbroken because he did not know what to do! Year after year went by and all he could do was build on what he already had. He built up Alsaces economy tremendously and reduced inflation by as much as he could. But this was not Constantines area of perfection. He was hungry for war! One day Constantine woke up with great news. Brunswick has offered us an alliance, this was great! They will serve as cannon fodder if one of the super nations interferes with our conquests. They are positioned right above us but is not a neighbor. So they will distract Allies of whomever will draw the short straw and be crushed by our glorious forces. Shortly thereafter a letter from Genoa arrived at out footsteps. We shall enter into their trade league! This will bring in a lot more money! ![[image loading]](http://i41.tinypic.com/2ajdnk9.jpg) Now Constantine still longing for power, looked for another nation to join our soon to be powerful coalition. Portugal heeded our calls and joined us! They we're powerful, after snatching Granada from Castille and expanding to the Africas they we're becoming quite powerful indeed. I realized that they will very likely not help any in wars we start but it will be scary for other nations to intervene if they will make Portugal mad. As Constantine went to bed that day he knew that soon, very soon his empire will flourish. Constantine never woke up the next day, the gods had taken him. A sadness struck the nation like never before, the people didn't even react this bad when Wilhelm II died. But, in good news, a true king has taked his place. A direct ancestor of Wilhelm II. Wilhelm III has taken the throne! ![[image loading]](http://i43.tinypic.com/1z541w5.jpg) As a result of our nations moment of weakness as Wilhelm took the throne, the Austrians and the swizz had guaranteed us. Outrageous! How dare they think that anybody would even think of attacking us. Bah! I guess it makes the feel important.. Wilhelm shortly after getting the throne demanded Wurtenberg to be annexed into our empire. They had no choice but to accept. What will come of our empire? Nobody knows, theese are hard times in Europe and not only great leaders are needed. But great farmers, great commanders, great troops, great infrastructure. We will need every tiny advantage we can get to crush the pathetic nations around us! Hail Wilhelm III and hail Alsace! Also I forgot to mention that we joined Portugal in a war against like half the world. But everything is too far away to threaten us witch is why I accepted. Our glorious nation! + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i39.tinypic.com/qyzvk9.jpg) The entire map! + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i44.tinypic.com/dzf5z9.jpg) | ||

i came across something odd, although probably intended. you cant diplo vassalise a country because you cant form a royal marriage BUT you can diplo annex countries without a royal marriage. game is so stupid | ||

We need to crush them eventually .Haha, well I had given them military access during my rule so that they could more efficiently battle Burgundy. I figured that if Burgundy won the war, then they'd conquer Lorraine and then we'd be next in line. But yes, I'm sure Austria still thinks of us as a carpet haha. Nice AAR by the way, excpet you only ruled 10 years  On December 16 2011 06:40 turdburgler wrote: turn is complete, aar probably not till tomorrow morning because im tired. im so pissed that we are arent a monarchy ;p stupidest idea ever! i came across something odd, although probably intended. you cant diplo vassalise a country because you cant form a royal marriage BUT you can diplo annex countries without a royal marriage. game is so stupid Hmmm...I agree it's a bit odd. I don't see why a royal marriage should be required for a diplo vassalization to begin with. Oh well, this just means we will have to wage wars to gain lands  .On December 16 2011 06:46 beef42 wrote: yeah, we can only annex countries we've vassalized as part of a peace deal. Why are you so mad, I thought you people wanted it to be "hard." I wouldn't generalize by saying "you people." I don't think he's the one that selected a theocracy to begin with, so he has a right to be mad | ||

Why are you so mad, I thought you people wanted it to be "hard." because hard is a relative idea. theres nothing hard about being an opm, inside the hre you will never be attacked unless burgundy gets a mission. the 4-5 european super powers being around are impossible to fight unless you do abusive things like war in the first year so noone has military access. you can take on as many "hard" personal quests as alsace as you can as baveria, the difference is as baveria you dont leave the game on fast forward for 2-3 years at a time :D its worth noting that the other game only went on for ~200 years, so "we are the only big nation left" never happened. even as a strong country we still had major powerful rivals. by starting as a country in a "worse" position we are limiting the play options further while being fully aware we wont become a big blob before the end. seems country intuitive. btw whoever said we need government 27 to change type is wrong, government 8 is all you need. 100% of income into gov tech here we come baby | ||

I'm sorry, but since when is becoming a big blob the only goal of a game in EU3. The game is essentially a sandbox game for a reason. Use your immagination. The purpose of selecting Alsace to begin with was to have a unique set of challenges that would have to be overcome, which would result in an interesting AAR that sets it apart from others. In addition, I don't see why the game has to end in 200 years anyways. Why not just let people play a 2nd turn once we've gone through the line once (last part not really directed at you).

I confirmed this on the EU3 forums. | ||

I confirmed this on the EU3 forums. I'll also confirm this. You can not just swap governments if you are a Theocracy or the Papacy. EDIT: Why do we have maxed out everything? =/ Spend those diplomats guys. Even if it's just giving someone military access. Build dat reputation around and spend them traders yo. Don't want to wait too long before it's impossible to get in on the world trading. | ||
