Alongside fortifications; remember, the Viper threat is slowly giving Sentinel Vahara more and more power; imagine the Andreallic terror of a united, pro-magnatronia North America.

No PMT or FT stuff though, right.

And to be honest, getting the Panama Canal, I just realized, isn't that huge a deal because Tserra has the Suez. I still want Mag to be a North American superpower, but you can consider our canal vendetta done. No hard feelings between us two, Andy. None at all.

Ok, just making sure.

So no hard feelings, but a second Mag vs Andromitus War would be crazy. And probably super destructive to the entire New World

You made the exact mistake as I did!

Kumania and Vidnoye are in a private conference room surrounded by hundreds of armed guards; when Vidnoye said an economic forum, he didn't mean a big party so Hungary could get a nice taste of other nations, he more meant a time zone where Hungary's like "hey everybody, come on over :P"

What Andy said.

And anyways I'm pretty sure the Germans and Latrovians will probably meet with the Vezeto long before the Magnatronians do since the Magnatronians are the most recent arrivals while everyone else has been there for a while.

Laika was a brave space pupper :'(

"Before the launch, one of the scientists took Laika home to play with his children. In a book chronicling the story of Soviet space medicine, Dr. Vladimir Yazdovsky wrote, "Laika was quiet and charming...I wanted to do something nice for her: She had so little time left to live."

"One of the technicians preparing the capsule before final liftoff stated that "after placing Laika in the container and before closing the hatch, we kissed her nose and wished her bon voyage"

My dudes, she was so rad that she made me really sad.

I'm still on my first campaign. I chose the Petty Kingdom of Munster ("Mumu", much to my boyfriend's delight). I've had six rulers in just over 100 years, taken over all of Ireland, established the Kingdom of Ireland, and am just making headway in Wales.

I started as Matilda and through a marriage fiasco ended up the Queen of Denmark relatively early in-game. It was fun.

My favorite start is usually as Breizh.

Petty Kingdom is what the Irish culture call Duchies, if you want to give your sister the Kingdom of Wales you'll have to be an Emperor first.

I've had that happen to me lol! There's loads of Danish princes at the start to marry, and by a bunch of deaths and usurpations he got voted King of Denmark. It really annoyed me when he died though because it made the line Kings of Denmark outside the HRE so I couldn't conquer any Italian land without fighting the Emperor.

As for traits, I'm not sure what would get in the way. My leader really lucked out and has all positive traits, as does the sister. Maybe her being ambitious is a negative? She's not envious, though.

If it's agnatic-cognatic primo, she's probably trying to get rid of your heirs so that when you die she inherits.

Trust me, I've been tempted. But Great Grandpapa Brian did a number on his own and the other old families of Ireland during his conquests to solidify power in one throne. He and his son almost drove the Irish people in court into extinction, so I'm desperately trying to build that up as much as possible.

Thus, as long as the wench is able to bear children, she'll be allowed to live.

Cimbibe that with her ambition, that's the likely reason.

Well, I'm only 30 with three sons and a young wife, so she's got her work cut out for her. But if she manages to kill my heir, I'll be pissed- I've shaped him into the most capable warrior-king-to-be.

Unless she is literally plotting to kill my heirs with her fully functioning cooch, I'm not sure that solves the problem.

Yep, and it increases I believe if they have the ambitious trait.

As well, she already a vassal of yours or just a nasty claimant? If she has say, a few counties, she may desire the whole duchy from you. On top of that, if you have too many titles, she may not like you.

It's one hundred percent possible. During one playthrough, my dynasty line was basically wiped out from assassinations from a nasty vassal with too many assassins on hand. Literally went through around three Kings in a year, ending with a 2 year old queen that was killed. Thus game over.

Oh? Then it's definitely the issue of having too many titles. Great Grandpapa went on an imprisonment/assassination/military conquest bender to claim all the counties from his vassals because they were unruly. Having all the counties and only one son, he made himself the Duke of all of Ireland's five Duchies and this has continued since. As there has only ever been one son for each King and the daughters were married off non-matrilineally, it hasn't been an issue.

But my current king has three sons (so far), so that'll have to change. Princess Fiona can bite me, though. Her son gets Wales, but she gets the oubliette if she keeps it up.

They talk about paradox games and I am not here.

What a great timing. /s

No, you can claim a spot here even though you're in AEGIS. If you look at the RMB, I have a few things on it.

Yeeeah, that's another one that's claimed a lot of my time.

But nothing beats HoI2 for me. I got it in 2007 and there's no way to calculate how many hours of my life it's claimed. The amount of times that I've conquered Europe as Germany, or Asia as Japan, or all of the Americas with the US. It's like a sickness.

Yeah man, it's one of the reasons why you need vassals instead of just hording all the titles for yourself. Nobles get restless, and you can't manage all the titles yourself effectively if you literally take every title in your kingdom.

Ugh. A lesson against having children if I've ever heard one. Why didn't Papa send her to a nunnery when he had the chance!

My equivalent would probably be either the Civilization games, or the Total War games. I have 541 hours logged on Civ V alone, with Empire: Total War a distant second at 289 hours.
