Ditto.

10/10, basically what Daniel said.

i5f7zzkX1Nc Well that's...something.

Dp3jda591M4 Oh god, this song. Spongebob brought me to this.

Crushed several Russian armies in a massive counterattack, forcing them into peace, and my allies forced the French out of Baden and the other German minor countries. The Russians apparently have really crappy military tech, because in some of those battles they outnumbered me 2:1! In addition, Belgium also signed a white peace with France, which funnily enough actually made things worse for the enemy because now they can't use Belgium to widen the front, which would certainly hurt my war effort more than theirs, given their superior manpower. Now Frenchy and Underlings (As I have taken to calling them and the small countries in their sphere of influence) have to come at me through one province. Next stop, Paris bitches!

OHGODOHGODOHGODSOMUCHWANT

Bah, I thought of that for all of ten seconds before I said no. That would put both the French and the Russians to my East, Austria to the south, Sweden up North, and the rest of France on my western border isn't going anywhere either. Belgium is getting sacrificed. I'm using the time that France is spending occupying it to let my reserves get organized (That takes a long time. Until they get organized they are basically useless). It'll take a month, at least, for them to occupy Belgium, and by then I should have my reserves in place on the French-Belgian border. That will leave the French facing 120,000 dug in reservists in fortified provinces (good thing I built those forts). Since our border is so short, I should be able to rotate them out regularly, to keep my most effective units on the front at all times while the others recuperate. In addition, I'm keeping them busy in Baden and Württemberg, attacking their smaller armies with overwhelming force to keep them from securing the area, which would allow them to move into Germany proper, from the south. I'm using the time all this is buying me to rebuild my standing army. I organize my standing army into Korps, labelled with Roman Numerals. Soldier for soldier, they're the best fighting force in the world. They're well equipped, experienced, and each one consists of 27,000 men, including 15,000 'Guards' (The best infantry you can make) and two brigades apiece of artillery and cavalry. I've built my army like this because I struggle with Manpower, especially since I'm surrounded by powerful enemies. By the time the line is in danger of being broken, I should have at least 3 or 4 of my Korps in fighting shape again, and I can basically use them as a strategic reserve by shuffling them to provinces where it looks like a breakthrough is imminent, then pull them back when the battle is won, so they can reinforce and get organized again. Russia is trickier. They've already entered Eastern Germany, and I don't have the troops available to repel them. I'm hoping to counterattack when I get my army back into shape and force them to accept a white peace separately from France, which is basically a ceasefire. No room for fuckups here, to say the least. Edit: Ugh, I'd say I'm getting off topic. Sorry. I really need to put my thoughts into words with this kind of thing, and Pinkie (The usual victim) isn't around at the moment. Is this bothering anyone?

Well, that's the thing. I did absolutely nothing. My infamy (Basically the 'everyone hates you for waging too much war' score) was at zero, whereas France and Britain were both between 5-10 or so. France just randomly decided to declare war (They wanted East Prussia) and their allies joined in. As for treaties, I have several allies, including the Two Sicilies (Basically half of modern Italy), Spain, and Belgium. Belgium is nice to have, especially since they seem to be taking the brunt of the French offensive for the moment, and most of my 'small' allies are sending their troops to fight Russia, which has allowed me to pull most of my troops from that line to fortify my border with France (Which, mercifully, is quite short). Spain is getting destroyed. They can't match France in industry, manpower, troop quality, or anything else. They're a distraction, at best, but a helpful one since there's probably just under 100,000 French soldiers invading it right now.

France and her allies, including Russia and Sweden, just declared war on me in Victoria II. I'm playing as Germany, around the 1870's or so. My army is in shambles from two separate wars with Austria, and five with the Netherlands. France is ridiculously powerful, Russia has twice my population, and Sweden is north of me, meaning I've got three Great Powers about to attack me from three directions. Mobilizing reserves. Incoming shitstorm.

Banned because that fits hilariously well with your avatar.

So, I was downloading a 300 MB file (about 40 minutes download time). A storm came up at about halfway through. The power went off for about three seconds when the download was at 98%. Of course, it was ruined. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

About to spend another 14 hours on Victoria II (probably).

So that's why you're an editor. Hah, only for you Shiny, only for you.

I regret nothing.

GODDAMMIT UK, JUST LET ME HAVE MEXICO ALREADY. (Victoria II. Don't mind me.)

Banned for thinking about using SCP-447 on a dead body.

You won't regret changing your forum name Freeman, you're just being paranoid.

Well, I also complain a lot, and like you, I really feel the need to do so (And actually enjoy doing so). But I try to be 'fair' about it. When I'm complaining to someone, I try my best to make it funny, so they'll actually not hate hearing it. Ask Pinkie. He should know what I mean, since he's probably experienced it from me more than anyone.

9/10, I'm liking the anime thing a lot.

Indeed, happy one-year-closer-to-death day, Pinkie (even though I totally said happy birthday on steam already). Sorry, all the funny remarks were taken already.

Oh god, I remember that now. Oh, the memories. And only when you're older do you realize that Helga's mom is totally an alcoholic.

So, I just discovered Victoria II
