I have no idea why he replied to your post, think he meant Morgan's map. The Black Territories.

If that's the case, the black spots are German Territory Mike.

Oh.   :| Makes sense, the black spots are uncolonized territory.

Nope grey is German, black is soon to be German.  :P

Like so.

Looks like you're completely ignoring South America for now.

Yes, I have been using Africa mostly because of the bug for the populations there.  I do have a colony there though and that was because I got it from... Hanover I believe when German Empire was formed.

What game is this?

Victoria 2.  Grand Strategy game like EUIII and HoI3 but in the Victorian/Industrial Revolution era. 1836-1935.

Ah, I know Vic 2 very well, only never looked at that kind of screenshots, I might be able to put some pictures of my Dutch empire here some day.

Hhhhm, strange....

Anyway, I play other strategy games, here is a screenshot in CK2 with the Game of Thrones mod.

Spoiler for map:

As you can see I play as the unimportant Mallister family.

The game started with only the small oldstones region, I soon had a decent claim on the crossing and enough money to hire the required mercs to take on their armies.

After that there was a time of peace and I got my Heir to inherit the Trident.

Again, after he produced a Heir I got him (trough some bribing) to marry the Lady of Harrenhall, I'm now playing as that character and preparing to cut myself lose from the Riverlands and place myself directly below the Iron Throne.



Note: the Bay of Claws is not (yet) part of my realm, it just has the same color in this picture....

Alright, I've finally figured out how this game works, and I gotta say, my Swedish Empire is off to a pretty good start.

Keep calm and move along.

You call that a good start!? You haven't even conquered Denmark yet!

Come back when you have Denmark and the Dutch Republic under your boot. :P

Hey; I only just started. Chill out, man :dry:

Keep calm and move along.

Okay, I am getting nowhere right now. My armies are decreasing in the thousands and they aren't even fighting. I think it may be attrition, but I have no idea how to stop it. Anyone know anything useful?

Keep calm and move along.

Your path is clear Tobbs. You must conscript the entire population of Norway and use them as Swedish cannon fodder...

I don't think it works that way... :ermm:

Also, I discovered I simply had too many units for the population to fill up, only I didn't notice it because half of them were empty. It's fixed now.
