Acacia Sgt Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 And thus, the British have fallen... so it's basically now us and the Mughal who dominate most of the world at the moment, that friendly status will not last long once everyone else is gone... Oh, so conquered factions can come back if their conquerors have fallen and they rebel, interesting. Hm, I'd wonder then if the Mughals falls before all it's territory is taken...

Oh, so conquered factions can come back if their conquerors have fallen and they rebel, interesting. Hm, I'd wonder then if the Mughals falls before all it's territory is taken... Yeah. And when that friendly status turns hostile....... it'll be the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny. Yeah, but only if it's the conquered faction's province that is rebelling. So of Scotland rebels, we won't get the British back. Instead, the Scotland faction will arise. There's a lot of minor factions in the game that only appear during rebellion in the special province.

Yeah, I was aware of new factions forming, though not about old ones returning, so I was surprised seeing Gran Columbia back, for example. I thought once it was gone, it's gone for good, but now I see that it's not the case; not to mention that, allowed or not in the game, it wouldn't make sense that they couldn't return in that case. Heh, seeing those pictures of the faction list, it's funny to see we're still labeled as a Minor Nation. Yeah right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGdood Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 We aren't A Minor Nation. Malta is THE Minor Nation. WORD. Gran Columbia is quickly taken out of the game. The Pirates comeback is rather short lived. The Bahamas belong to us now. Quite a strange name.... Rupert's Land, Moose Factory. What? The main commodity there is furs. The Mughals quickly declare war on the United States. They managed to grab Maryland and New York and Philadelphia. I redirect some of the invasion fleet (including the Royal Army of Malta to the India theater). I can always produce more soldiers after finishing off the US. Maine's skeleton garrison is quickly disposed of. The US is no more. Well, they've joined the Order. Quebec's garrison is pretty strong, but I believe our infantry will carry the day. Panama is ours, wrestled from right under the noses of the Mughals. Told you our men will carry the day at Quebec. Canada is ours now. Well, now the only players are the Knights.....and the Mughals. I spent quite a few turns amassing funds and preparing for the final war. Our armies await at the borders of the Mughal Empire and its colonies. Our navies are ready to take control of their docks and unload all troops on their cities. On this Earth, there can only be ONE nation. http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?app=forums&module=post§ion=post&do=reply_post&f=24&t=22321&qpid=1618609 Let the games commence. ONLY THE FAITHFUL WILL CARRY THE DAY! Well I didn't expect this.....well that's why the Grand Maltese Fleet is here to kick your wooden asses! This lone ship is carrying a full stack. Losing it will mean I get one less army to use to screw over the Mughals. FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- Reinforcements arrive in a very disorganized clump. Well, gotta make the best of it. FORWARD The Mughal ships are mostly no match for ours. They also tended to try and stick as close to your ships as they could, and exploded at the wrongest places. Persuasion flees the battlefield.....after taking 2 explosions in the side. Oh c'mon, it didn't even lose more than half the crew. Huge clusterfuck of heavy First Rates. The Mughal ships for some reason just loved to shoot Intimidation. In fact it got shot so much it catches on fire...and flees. What a mess. Intimidation Y U SINKING NOOOOOO Well the first fleet is easy work, really...aside from Intimidation and Persuasion fleeing (the former meeting an untimely end....) Time to withdraw this ship...her hull's been beaten. Second enemy fleet is very very close. This one's for Intimidation you assholes! I turned up my speakers just to listen to things explode. It was AWESOME. White Base finds itself to be more than a match against these ships. Ouch. They tried to board one of my ships. They surrendered before they finished hooking on. Holy shit! Intimidation, I saw you sink...but...the ship is still here! How?! Also, what the fuck how did that light galley reach level 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGdood Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Bijapur is now under siege by the Royal Army of Malta. Sindh belongs to us now. And Punjab. And Guatemala. Most of the American East Coast belongs to us now, skillfully grasped from under the noses of the Mughals. Also, parts of Canada. Upper Louisiana. Cattack too! I thought this was one of the coolest Mughal cavalry units ever! Hyderabad belongs to us now. As does Gajrout. Georgia and the Carolinas got blitzed. And some other provinces. The garrison of Bijapur wishes to challenge the Royal Army of Malta. We shall oblige them with death. The Mughal Empire was known as one of the "last great horse armies" in the modern age. They historically used a lot more cavalry than they did infantry. Oops, gotta retreat now, Little Friend. Then the officer (and commander) of the Arni Miltia gets sniped. By these fuckwits. Move up, Facebreakers, and ready your grenades! How do you like that? The Mughal throw their own grenades, but they miss and only hit the trenches. Now it's just the artillery that's left. CAVALRY MOP UP! More provinces fall to us, including Bijapur. lol epic elephant beating up on armed citizenry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGdood Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 The Mughal EMpire sure is falling fast. Their armies are too busy raiding instead of fighting with mine, so i just take their lands. Well, one last province remains...(well 2, but it'll be 1 soon). The Royal Army of Malta (now led by an officer in the Brown Eagles) moves to Hindustan, the last bastion of defense for the Mughals. They no longer hold any land in the Americas One. last. Province. This is gonna be easy. Troops deployed in a blind spot of the fort cannons to I won't be shot, but I can fire at the walls. The plan is to make a lot of holes, and then shoot at people through the holes, then charge in and wipe them all out. Crumble! Snipers and sharpshooters shoot into the openings to clear them out. Into the Breach! FOR THE ORDER! What a colorful mess! The Anon Knights charge into the fort. But they start taking casualties after running out of charge bonus. So they retreat outside, the Ghazis follow, but units outside of the fort will actually rout! Charge, Brutalizers! nice masks. Since everyone else is tied up in melee, the Arni Militia are here to take the flag! Epic mixed charge. U scared? We did it. We won. The world...is ours. There can only be one. A new world order. By St. John, we prevailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewjeo Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Y'know, you'd think that the Mughals would've put up a tougher fight. They controlled a lot of land, and, being one of only two factions left, must have seen a massive war coming. Three years to conquer a good chunk of the real US and all of the Indian subcontinent? Pitiful, Mughals, you should be ashamed. The Russians and Polish were much harder (Battle of Finland, anyone?) and they had much less land. I have a few questions, Grandmaster Skitarii. How do you plan on getting all of these peoples to follow your church? It's such a massive area with so many religions. Other question: What're you gonna do next?

IGdood Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Woah! Incredible! Gah, too bad I was sleeping during the posting of these, but no matter, the Order now stands as the most powerful nation of the world! I was planning on holding off the posting until tomorrow, but I was too excited to feel tired. (it was 4 am when I finished posting) Indeed, the Knights of St. John/Order of the Hospitaller/Malta now rule the world. And it's not like an evil dictatorship or anything, the first and foremost creed of the Knights Hospitaller is to provide aid and shelter to pilgrims. Since we're sort of in the modern world, I think we'll just try and help develop our regions and stuff....make people's lives a bit better. Of course, and instill discipline...and...etc. Y'know, you'd think that the Mughals would've put up a tougher fight. They controlled a lot of land, and, being one of only two factions left, must have seen a massive war coming. Three years to conquer a good chunk of the real US and all of the Indian subcontinent?

How do you plan on getting all of these peoples to follow your church? It's such a massive area with so many religions. Other question: What're you gonna do next? The Mughals could've put up a tougher fight. They had 4 full-stacks in Persia, but all they did was walk around and burn farms/mines/factories. I would've lost that province if they'd just get their gear together and put up an all-out siege assault. of course, doing that would've only prolonged their survival by maybe 3-4 turns since all the veterans from Eastern Europe were already making their way down to the India subcontinent. I suspect that it could be that the Polish and Russians owned far richer land, whereas half the India regions were merely adequate/poor land. But that reason isn't quite plausible either, since Russia's lands were big but poor, but they could've been receiving military aid from Poland-Lithuania....or maybe they dominated a lot of the trade nodes in the minor trade theaters. Getting peoples to follow my church? Well I've got plenty of missionaries, but really religion is the least of my concerns (secular humanism ftw). I'd prefer trying to raise region wealth and pacifying dissent. What am I going to do next? For sure I want to take a break from the gunpowder age, really it does get mighty tiring (or maybe I'm slightly burnt out) when I put most of my time into Empire Total War. It's a great game and all, but maybe I have forced myself into it a lot. I don't think I'll be continuing the Empire Total War LP; if I do get into the gunpowder age again, it'll most likely happen if I buy Napoleon: Total War (and trying the WWI mod) I'd like to play around with the Ikko-Ikki for Shogun 2 Total War, but what I really want to do is to open up a new thread for a new total war. Sorry Rewjeo! It's just that....when I learned the Ikko-Ikki can't get Metsuke to bribe people around, I was actually kind of disappointed..... I mean having provinces join you simply because their rebels took over the area is really an awesome feature (since you can claim diplomatic innocence that you didn't declare war) but I miss the bribing. I was thinking I wanted to play the one clan with a Metsuke bonus, then I can bribe as many Ikko-Ikki units to my side as I want....as well as bribe the faction specialized units and such. There should be an Excel file attached detailing the exploits of our named units..... For the Royal Army of Malta though, there weren't many entries since......well I only recorded the records of units that were specifically named, but not random names that were suggested and such......

I just want there to be some reason for them not putting up any fight at all. Well, the Mughals were a cavalry heavy-army. Cavalry kinda suck when it comes to siege battles, and most of the time my armies were either staying in comfortable positions within forts while they were trying to get me to come out and have a field battle with them, where they may dominate. Their infantry don't suck, but they're not that good either, instead relying on pinning my guys while their cavalry go around and go for rear attacks and whatnot. i simply avoided their strengths and made them fight on my terms....mostly. There were a few defeats, but nothing too serious. Wait, what would you do if you actually did continue this LP? What's left to do that would be fun to watch? Nothing really, I'd be disbanding units left and right, fixing up facilities damaged in raids..... I don't feel like causing a rebellion in my own lands either. Whatever, I don't mind.
