And no, please not Maldives next time. A thought I had was that we turned the time when we started the next game forward by 50-100 years. Different world situation and new countries then | ||

That was not enough for Leopoldo. He was looking for his opportunities. When he heard, that in Mazovia lives a man who can predict the future, he send his man after him. So that was how I got on royal court. I had news for my new King. Great times are coming, followed by dark times. His family will be doomed unless he can reaquire his homeland in Aragon. Leopoldo asked how is he supposed to do that? Aragon has bigger army, bigger fleet! I said not to worry because opportunity will come soon. Just start preparation and create army and fleet! So he did. He went after that advice and created few more units. 1636 was a special year. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/542/eu32.jpg/ And that was a good sign. Same year a war broke out! France invaded Aragon. Few months later Castille made same move. King Leopoldo knew, it is his chance. With all his allies he can take out Aragon now. Especially, when all her friends left her without help. We were not fully ready to war. So we had to choose some good tactic. We decided not to fight directly. Aragon had lots of land in Africa, Asia and Americas, so that became our main focus. We invaded all colonies, leaving main forces to Castille and France. That was a good move. France was superior! http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/839/eu34k.jpg/ With Vicotry on our side, we had to invade Main Land. we decided to do that in Alicante and Algavre, taking Aragon from both sides... War was going better than expected. Soon France and Castille have managed to conquer whole country, leaving Alicante, Badajoz, Baleares and Algavre to our mighty ruler. In Africa and Asia we had even bigger succes! We were occupying every single Aragon province there. The worst situation was in South America. Rebels were all around us, and Aragon had more than 16k man in Suriname. Leopoldo was unhappy, as he knew this war is nor over - the Grand Aragon Navy was still far far away. I told our ruler to wait for this battle near Italian coast, holding him from sending troops to SA. That night our King had a vision. Our fleet sinking, his son dying... (killed by his own people). That was begining of the End. From that night we heard screams of our King more and more often. His visions were driving him mad! No one could stop him in his crazy decisions, like when he commanded to biuld Great Monument in Uruguay - that was destroyed by rebels next year. He commanded to send all his fleet and forces to SA. And was constantly building bigger and bigger fleet and army. Young Ferdinando (Heir to throne) was witnessing his father craziness. 1638 was another successful year. I managed to calm down Leopoldo, and he started to be more reasonable. Nothing bad was coming. So we manged to beat Aragon fleet http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/641/eu36.jpg/, and started to regain provnces in SA. However we were not so succesful in Venezuela, We couldn`t beat those Aragonese there. Beliving in his strength, beliving that nothing bad can happen, our King sent more than 40 ships to South America. Winning there would be crucial. Our troops landed in Caracas in 1638. Dissaster started. We were unable to beat Aragonese, National decline happend - http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/62/eu37b.jpg/ And when our fllet returning from South America lost more than 25 ships in storms, we knew, that profecy was true. Without ships we couln`t send new troops fast enough, rebels where rising all over our land, And we had still just about 10% in war against Aragon. But the worst was that our King was unable to rule wisely. Madness took him completely. He made more and more infantry, beliving he can protect his beloved son that way. War with Aragon lasted few more years. After few more years, when we gained cores in Brasil, we finally managed to break thos rebels, and send enough man to hold against Aragon on the North. Finally Castille and France signed peace with Aragon, gaining lots of provinces (Castille only Andalucia, France 5 or 6 on the North). Before Aragon could hire any mercenaries or build enough forces to break us we invaded Valencia, Madrid, Barcelona, and Bursa. At last peace was signed. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/841/eu310k.jpg/ King Leopold died in 1644 leaving his son Ferdindo on a throne. A little Maria was Heir to throne. Only i knew that his future is dark, and her future is bright! King Ferdinando shared his father thoughts on how to rule the country. In order to defend against rebels, He have built lots of Forts (spending almost all magistrates for this). He started to build Greatest possible fleet in order to conquer Great Britain in next few years. He managed to vasalise Modena, conquer Albania. But he was mad too. After he won war against Switzerland and Lorraine, he signed very bad peace with them, gaining only few provinces for Bavaria. When Jalayrids and Iraq started war against us, faith of our King was already known. Despite his conquer he was about to die. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/17/eu319.jpg/ And that was how prophecy fulfilled! | ||

At least that’s how I tend to handle this, if I own all of SA 3-5 stacks of 10-15k Troops seem ok to take care of "normal" high-amounts of Rebels (so 10%-20%). And defending them against a "normal" opponent is also no problem? You might don't want to go to war with England when it comes to colonies/naval but else? I won several colonial wars whiteout a (fighting) navy at all... It just takes a loong time ^^. I mean.. You might can't fight the opponents Navy head on, but if you got standing armies everywhere this doesn't matter? Actually England is seirously like the only country you should not go to war with when not having a huge navy and thats just because it is hard to get a good peace whiteout invading Brittain. It's not a question of whether it's possible to defending them, it's a question of the cost vs reward of having them vs something more practical. I was already skirting my forcelimit and didn't feel like going over it to protect a few fortless colonies, most of which were costing me money rather than providing it. | ||

I managed to regain control of south america, gaining some provinces, as well as doing so in Asia and Spain. In order to be more flexible against rebels (really LOT of them uprising every year) - i decided to focus on builing forts. I lost and gained lots of money - started with almost 5k, ended with more than 3k - and that with building biggest army in the world right now, The next person in line gets big army and even bigger naval power - more than 125 ships. Only things i did wrong is that i gained so much infamy. I made mistake with signing peace with Lorraine - (and i never save/load to repair my mistakes) Well that happens We have +200 relations with Bohemia, and they don`t seem to be collapsing, maybe next in line will be able to integrate them. I ve made some huge mistakes, but well this is only a game, and with mistakes its even funnier. Map of our gains http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/840/eu3mapsic16531261.jpg/ and of course - save game: http://www.mediafire.com/?bybhg8wavoj11ux Hope u liked somewhat my AAR  | ||

That is exactly the kind of thing a ruler would do while going completely insane. K:"We need to build a large monument in Uruguay, upon sight of it the rebels will surely tremble in fear before our divine greatness, and realise that their struggle is useless." A:"But my Lord, it would be insanely expensive to transport all that material over to the americas, shouldn't we better transport troops to beat those rebels?" K:"What? You question us? They paid you off, didn't they? TRAITOR! GUARDS! Take him to the dungeons." K:"So, now who will build us a glorious monument in Uruguay?" A2:"At once, mylord." | ||

As I suggested a page back, we could start in 1475 - 1499 instead of 1399, that might spice things up a little :p | ||

By then, a lot of smaller nations that have potential to get huge are gone, and all the large nations are just larger and stronger. 1399 or go home! | ||
