Post your Strategy Game Status
Grif101:
There was something like this on TZF, so I figured I'd try and start one here. Just post the status of your game like Total War, Victoria, Hearts of Iron etc. Talk about your conquests, future plans and your empire. Add pics if you want, show off your failures and "successes".
Tobbs:
Ohh, interesting. This is a good time to talk about my HoI Swedish empire >:D
Despite my small armies, I have managed to conquer Denmark, Norway, Finland, Ireland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria and Switzerland, and effectively made them part of the new Swedish Empire.
However, my attempts to establish National Socialism into Sweden has been an utter failure. Instead, with the conquest of Finland, I have had an increased popularity in the Swedish Communist Party. Therefore, I allied with the Soviet Union instead of Germany, and I am now trying to get the Communist party in power. But in the end, that wasn't too bad. In return of them helping me conquer Poland, I gave them regions in the Polish east.
My future plans? I'm planning on bringing Germany to its knees before the year of 1938 with the help of the Soviet armies. Their huge armies will be helpful as a puppet in my planned future invasion of Great Britain from Ireland and France from Switzerland and Germany. I will also conquer Jugoslavia and Albania to serve as a port into the mediterranian. I have big plans.
In Empire Total War it's a little simpler. Sweden has conquered the world. All of it.

O.o
Makes my English Empire in Medieval II: Total War look like a pipsqueak nation :D
For my part I have conquered the British Isles, destroyed France and occupied most of would-be Netherlands and the Kingdom of Denmark (minus Norway), Antioch and I am currently pushing my through Spain. However of course there are major obstacles to my plans. Mongolia is a bloody MONSTER, controlling half of North Africa, the Middle-East (minus Antioch), Anatolia, Greece, Thracia and Eastern Europe. The Timurids own Russia and Portugal somehow created a new homeland in the now former Holy Roman Empire and Milan. Now because of the Mongol menace I have an alliance with Portugal and the Timurids, so they're not a problem...for now. The Mongols have proven to be a difficult opponent, as over half the armies I sent into the East European front have been ambushed, being whittled down or destroyed. Only Prague was able to be "liberated" by me so far.
Meanwhile I'm fighting for my life to hold on to Antioch, as the Mongols for some reason took exception to my "aquiring" it. Fortunately I've got a base on Cyprus so reinforcements are handy. The Spanish, while annoying, are going to be destroyed. Currently I also control the seas, with my Royal Navy being the dominant force, so I can blockade ports and transport troops at will (as the Spanish and Mongols found out >:D). Once I get the upper hand with Antioch, save Portugal from the Mongolian offensive and generally stabilize the European front, I intend to launch an offensive into the Holy Land and then begin pushing into Anatolia. On a side note I also control the Carribbean and most of Aztec territory...but for now I have to consolidate my current Aztec holdings and deal with treacherous rebels.
Tobbs:
I've never really liked the English in Medieval. Does not fit my style at all. I prefer charging in with the French, with which I had a pretty good campaign going on until the game stopped working mysteriously :ermm:
With France, I chose to take my first path of conquest through the north. I started by retaking Rennes which the English had taken from me, then I took over Caen, before launching an offensive at the Rebel-controlled Dubling, then took Caernarvon, from which I had good access to both York and London, as well as a good route of reinforcements that proved quite easy to defend. I destroyed England pretty quickly by sabotaging their buildings and blockading their trade. After England, I conquered Scotland, and so had control of the British Isles. I then proceeded to ally myself with the Holy Roman Empire to protect my pretty much unguarded front from an eventual attack from Milan. I also allied with Spain to keep them from attacking me.
My next target was across the sea: Oslo. I embarked in Oslo, effectively declaring war on Denmark, which my German allies assisted me with. Didn't take long before I had conquered the Scandinavians as well. I then went into Finland and through there, Russia. Fortunately, the Russians were weak and spread thin after a war against Poland. I had little trouble taking their territories.
Meanwhile, I proceeded to reinforce my Italian front and eventually attacking Milan, then Venice, then Sicily. I now had control of entire Italy as well, save for Rome, of course. Just in time, as well, as the pope now called on a crusade, and I was the first to answer. I sailed with an army from Sicily and used it to take Jerusalem, Antioch, Damascus etc. from the Egyptians.
Then, after a lot of fun and after walking into Hungary from the previously Venetian-controlled Zagreb and conquered that, the Mongols came. It kinda went to excrement on my eastern front. I greatly underestimated the Mongols, and as a cost I lost all of my conquests in the Holy Lands, and after the Mongols plowed through Turkey, I lost all of Russia as well, and was fighting for my life at Helsinki.
Then the game stopped working.
