He's also the guy that approves of you becoming broke, your computer breaking, calamity befalling you, losing your girlfriend, tormenting you both physically and mentally in various ways...:P

And that's just the small time stuff, so if you really want to throw your lot in with him...

On-topic: Polish territory has now been cut in half, thanks to Prussian and mostly Ottoman efforts. The Ottoman Empire in particular, despite slowly crumbling apart from the inside, is making a good deal of territorial gains from the Poles and Russians. They're major allies of me, but I'll have to keep my eye on them...

Off-topic: I would have stated my opinion on that, but it would start a major religious apeexcrement war, which doesn't seem so fun.

On-topic: Never trust the Turks.

Off-topic: I concur, wisdom would be agreeing to disagree on the religious stuff and moving on. ;)

On-topic: Indeed, I'll have to make sure to maintain profoessional instead of militia garrison's near the borders. Fortunately they seem tied up in a death struggle with Russia...and Russia recently conquered Persia and the Mughal Empire. So I think so long as the Russian Bear remains that large a threat, the Turks will work with me, but it pays to remain prepared.

What about the French? They could cover your west front pretty well against both the Brits and the Spanish, should you make them your allies. If they are still war capable, that is.

And is Austria still in the game?

Keep calm and move along.

Funny thing actually, is that Austria conquered France early in the game. So what used to be France is now Austria, however Austria lost a bunch of its original territory to the Polish. They were able to regain Austria itself and Tansylvania, but Hungary was taken by me and the Ottomans gained the rest. So Austria is still in the game, just positioned differentely now. Fortunately I have a military alliance with them, as well as with Hanover, Britain, Dutch Republic, Italian States and the Ottomans. Actually, we're all tied to the same alliances, and we all have indefinite military access to each other.

Good, good. Once you have defeated your mutual enemies, you can proceed to stab them all in the back one at a time >:D

It'll come to that eventually, though I have to make sure not invoke the wrath of the entire alliance. :P

Attack the least liked first, obviously. And don't attack them while you are still allies. There will be far less hatin' towards you if you break the alliance first and then immediately declare war. Fun little loop hole, that is.

Hmmm...that could work. Will have to check the diplomacy tab to see who's least popular...hopefully its the Italians or Austrians, as they have the most desireable teritory.

March 4th, 1124

King Máel-Sechnaill "the Wise" sits on the Irish throne, having united the entire island after his father, King Pátraic I, first formed the Kingdom of Ireland before his death in 1094. At present, Irish holding extend to the Isle of Man and into modern-day Wales, where King Máel-Sechnaill is intent on forming another kingdom to rule from the ashes of the disparate counties and dukedoms that currently occupy its lands.

Outside of Irish lands, the Scottish and the English continually struggle with revolts and instability.

Here is an overview of Britain and Ireland at present, as well as a closer view of my territories.

Here is the map of Europe at present.

the British Isles have it good comapred to the rest of Europe it seems, though I wonder if the Scots are going to do anything about that Swedish foothold...

So after you take over Wales, what do you plan next?

England, then Scotland. I'm intent on forming the Empire of Britannia.

Good goal, though it looks like you're going to have to contend with the HRE, Sweden and France before or after...provided they're still around at that point.

Sweden and Norway will likely be my biggest enemies. Thankfully, England's royal line is still descended from Harold Godwinson, rather than the Bastard, so no French interconnections. As for the HRE, they don't tend to interfere in island business in any of the games I've played before, so I doubt they'll jump in.

Sweden certainly seems the most likely, seeing as you'll likely have to push them out of Scotland, though I wonder if the Norwegians will interfere.

Hmmm, right this is before William the Conqueror showed up, so yeah I guess France wouldn't have much interest in the isles.

Well with the HRE it would depend, wouldn't it? I mean if you start carving territory out of Continental Europe I can see them getting involved...

You've got Sweden and Norway reversed. They're the ones with the foothold in Scotland. And you're right regardless.

Actually, it's after. Harold Godwinson just didn't lose the Battle of Stamford Bridge.

True enough, although Scandinavia is more likely to be a target of mine than central Europe.

Hmmm, so I did. Still, a Scandinavian conquest should prove useful.

Ahhh, forgot the date you posted. For some reason I thought the year was in the 1040's. Still, regardless it looks like your French flank is clear then, unless France decides to finish what William started for whatever reason.

Well seeing as you'll likely be warring with them first, that's true. Still, once your done with Scandinavia there won't be many places left to expand, unless you go after Eastern Europe...

So I started playing Hearts of Iron 2 as germany, with the goal of winning ww2 (obviously) and re-building the kaiser's fleet. As the game started I ordered 6 Bismark Class battleships, and began building light cruisers to aid them. By the time war broke out I has 12 out of a pre-ww1 17, so I was getting closer. However, things didn't go as planned. In 1938 when I demanded the Sudetenland, instead of getting it, Czechoslovakia just joined the axis, odd. Then when I went to war with Poland Britain and France did nothing...

What caused this you ask? Well I'm not sure, but, the Republicans did win the 1938 election, so I blame the GOP.
...scum.

Typical, leave it to the GOP to ruin a good time. So what's your next move? Conquer the Soviets? Though then again if you did that the US might end up invading Mexico...

I'll end up doing that as well, but I don't get to use my fancy battle sleet I spent all this time building.

You never know, considering how wacky this playthrough is, you might end up fighting some South American navy...maybe the Argentineans...

Seeing as Germany doesn't own the Falklands, no. But I was thinking about the recent tensions over the obviously British territory, so I decided to throw in Argentina. Truth be told, in real life they need a good smacking around, something I think the British are more capable of than in the 80's. :P
