Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[Paradox Interactive] Divine Wind finally on Steam, NEW HoI3 expansion announced

Just annoying. Game running smoothly one moment, game "sticks" for a couple of seconds at the end of every day the next. Absolutely infuriating, no idea what's causing it.
Highlights from that game to 1650 AD -
DOWed Spain and forced them to release Castille - subsequently Spanish capitol moves to Africa but has provinces in Sweden!
Castille attacks Portugal and forces the Portugese capitol to move to Alabama.
Barbant attacks Burgundy on October 15th, 1399 and subsequently takes all but 4 provinces, then is acquired by me through personal union 50 years later.
The aspect of the game I really need to focus on and play around with more is royal marriages and funding revolutions in small states that will be turn over the country to me. I don't like war that much except when it is assured mostly because of infamy hits (look, you wanna cause a trade dispute, I'm going to make the world forget you ever existed.)
My least favorite moments were warring with the Holy Roman Emperor. He is a massive dick, albeit not as much as he is in CKII.
I started playing as the Duke of Muenster, I went through a couple of generations. Ok, at one point my heir (son) was married to a girl who is the heir to Moray (in north Scotland). Fine. Somehow, my heir gets imprisoned by the King of Scotland. I can't quite figure out how that happened yet. Then he dies in prison. Now -I- suddenly inherit Moray?
CR2 HRE is cool looking when you can get it going on 30 Year War style crises.
The HRE married into Poland and Hungary ruling families. It ended up a giant grey blob, but with three families that had claims on the throne, there was always someone wanting to declare war. If they tried to invade me, I would just kill the HRE and the thing would implode for awhile.
Time to start up a new game playing as some Earl or Duke in the HRE or something. This will be fun.
Edit: Or not? Why did my interest rates get jacked up? Does each loan add 2 points of interest? Why? They should be fixed rate with each successive loan carrying more interest.
Sounds like it's time for a reign of terror. Imprison and banish your regent once you get control back. Once you put down the inevitable rebellions it'll be DECADES before they mess with your family again.

then in the last 2 years the following happens:
I somehow come into the luneberg throne.
France fucks up burgundy hella bad and leaves them completely defenseless. Completely. Any time I stumble upon one of their forts each siege takes 4-5 DAYs.
I quickly acquire all of Burgundy's remaining territory but can only demand antwerp, utrecht and gelre.
I fund patriot revolts in limburg, and regular revolts in breda, barbant, and ghent. Nationalist rebels show up. Ghent delivers itself to me while breda reforms barbant kingdom. I subsequently conquer the new barbant kingdom and annex.
I love this game.
One of my favorite things in this game right now is "Incite Natives". No colonies for you!
That's not our sync problem though

I bought Crusader Kings 2 last week and I've been enjoying it. Though I think it's turned me evil. I'm playing the Kingdom of Georgia starting in 1066, and I just had my firstborn son murdered to inherit his claim on the Kingdom of England.
One of us! One of us!
1. Start in the 1070s after the Caliphate has been halved.
2. Do whatever you can to get the HRE allied with you.
I booted up as Nubia (for the billionth time), and for the first time in vanilla I've survived more than a decade. Heck, the Muslims haven't even declared war on me, I figure because they're terrified of my alliance. It's freed me up to get an economy rolling, and after just a few years I had the cash to fund the manpower to almost outnumber Axum... declared a Holy War on em' when they tried to attack Abyssinia and took Axum in the name of Glorious Nubia. Back to building castle villages and walls for several years, then Harer tries to Holy War on Abyssinia (for Gondar)... so I do what any respectable Nubian king (aka, any opportunistic type fighting for survival through any means possible) would do and promptly call my own Holy War on Harer. Combined with Abyssinia's forces, we forced the Muslims out of the Horn of Africa, and Harer joined Glorious Nubia.
Few more years, mostly just raking in cash now, and I line the right pockets down in Abyssinia... and successfully plot to off the King of Abyssinia, splitting his counties between his bajillion sons. Nubia can field more than twice the numbers, so a third Holy War down Ethiopia way, and after only sieging one county (and only three of the four holdings), Abyssinia cedes Gondar to me.
So now, with the exception of one county (Sennar), I have all of de jure Abyssinia plus the two counties of Aswan that I started off with. Gondar and Harer are even being super awesome about it and have begun the process of assimilating into de-jure Nubia. Once my treaty expires, Axum can join em'.
Still, it's a long road ahead. Both of my rulers so far have had the HRE alliance to help em' out, and even halved from 1066 the Caliphate can field multiple times the troops I can. Still, it's keeping them at bay, something it didn't do back in 1066. Ultimately I may need to try and culture switch... maybe Russian, for the infantry defense bonus buildings. And maybe someday the Caliph will die (weird, I could swear they're supposed to die every five years...), and I can ninja in while they're in turmoil to do some damage to em'.
But it's almost 1100, and Nubia survives. If only all these damned Monophysites would hurry up and start giving me proper taxes and levies.
And I managed to get myself murdered by the Queen of the Cumans for all my trouble of being a Tyrant and Kinslayer.
It might be time to be less evil.
FTFY
Time to mod up to CK2+.

I think so, as long as your title is King or higher.
