Sounds like nonsense talk that Omni adds in to videos.

It's season (series Jason) 22 after all.

My kids are 7 and 10 and still love Bluey

We love you takeahike89

Oh, I didn't have a PU, it was just an instant annexation. I don't know if the event would fire if SW has an heir (you)

I'm playing Meisen/Saxony atm. There is a scripted event where you inherit Saxe-Witt and get given the electorate.

Sure. One state at a time. Once the first state is successfully integrated then we can move on to the next.

Anything, I'd take anything... apart from a ugly seasonal uniform. Sigh

Grumble grumble he's a massive prick! grumble grumble

Sixteen, clumsy and shy

I've had 8 characters at #1 over the years. Songbird, Moonstone, Hellcat, Mockingbird, Angela, Nadia Wasp, Jane Thor

I kinda gave up chasing it when artifacts came in

Nadia is currently #5, Hellcat #8, Angela #6, Songbird #3, Jane Thor #15

I worked for an insurance broker, 18-20 years ago, when there was a plane crash in Indonesia. 100 or so Indonesians died, 4 Americans, something like that. The claim on it recommended setting aside 10mil for the Americans and 3mil for all the remaining passengers and staff. Absolutely brutal valuation of human life.

Yes, sorry, you're right. My mistake!

I mean at current trends the US is looking at unsustainable debt anyway in 15 or so years. All this will do is bring it forward.

Basically either the US pays up to honour their value or the bonds become worthless. If the bonds aren't worth the paper they are printed on then the 30 odd trillion debt becomes instantly unserviceable.

The US can only service its insane deficit if there's an expectation that the bonds will be honored. As soon as that evaporates the US economy will no longer be able to ignore how deep in the trillions it is (as no one will buy the debt) and it will implode

Oh God yes, the first couple of years of that were perfection.

I'm not really complaining. It's all a learning curve! It would be nice to have things explained in-game properly though.

I'm currently running a Weimar game, with no real aim, just to test things out. So far... I started in union with Schwarzberg. They broke it suddenly, no idea how. Had claim throne on Halych and Volnyna so pursued Halych. Got it, as a kingdom they immediately became leader, but at the same time I somehow inherited Austria. Halych just dragged us into annoying wars against Golden Horde that they would never actually break free from. Halych broke off due to their different inheritance. Vassalised an elector and secured Emperor ensuring I stayed top dog in the new Weimar-Austrian union. Did all the unification laws but couldn't work out how to activate the parliament function. Annexed the elector thinking that I would automatically get that electorship (nope) and neither could I give it to myself apparently. Blocked me out of forming Saxony. Oh well. I'll give it to Austria instead, they are nice and loyal. Oh, not anymore they aren't! They are suddenly miles ahead in terms of power, my monarch has moved to Vienna and they've changed their succession laws to split away. Get claim throne on Lorraine, take that. Maybe this union will be 4th time lucky? Probably not with France looming...

So what do I want PUs to be for? Well, all the above shenanigans has made for an interesting game, and it's great that they are not just instant loyal vassals but it would be lovely if it was all much clearer. If you could be war leader in your Junior's stupid wars so you can actually get them to pick useful things in the peace.

The 'peace' plan was originally written in Russian, the US just translated it. That's about the sum total of their involvement. I mean, what do you expect?

Oh I mean it reminds me that I don't have the minimum hardware on every load up but it still works. And not too laggy. I've basically turned off all the fancy graphic options. i7-1255 4g graphics card

Oh my God, this^ so tired of my laptop randomly zooming out because I've brushed the trackpad and spending the next 5mins vainly trying to get back to the same level of zoom

Timur is already scary. I pushed Golden Horde into a death spiral as Kyiv and then oh shit, here comes Timur and he utterly utterly minced me. My only hope was that he was old and he would die before the country was totally eaten up by his hordes. He did not die. Kyiv did.

I know a few people on DA who sell their images and it's definitely more for pocket money than as an actual job. Yeah I don't really get it but hey, a fool and their money are best parted.

Yup, half the new member notifications I get seem to be random Indian businesses.

I'm guessing there's a promo service which just creates profiles across every social media platform the bot can get its hands on.

Just as a follow up - I scored a claim throne on Wolgast so did that, then the Teutons declared on me, fine, I've beaten them before but they pulled in Denmark (think they had rivalled me). They had a big army but a crap one so I was winning consistently hoping to just white peace the Danes out through attrition before concentrating on the actual enemy. Only I found I couldn't separate peace them as they were a subject nation BUT their overlord wasn't involved. Ridiculous.
