They got rid of OoB.

I'm still so sad. ;_;

The best part of HoI was spending the first 10 hours of any game on pause.

Too damn right. Especially as the Soviet Union. All that time sorting out those hundreds of divisions, planes and ships, putting officers in the right place, then losing a host of those officers a few years later. I'm going to miss that.

Really, HoI3 was an OCD simulator.

Invading Russia in winter isn't so bad of an idea after all.

I read that bit about invading in winter just before the game started funnily, but yeah, probably doesnt matter much anymore with 200k+ manpower left and an country economy/infrastructure to easily refill that.

I have to say, mgo looks rather more Seleucid than he does Mughal.

I would say three, that Oman is pretty strong at this point.

Yeah, your triple alliance is something else

Just you and MGO are probably fielding what.. ~500K? :p

You (middle)easterners are supposed to fight internally, dammit! It's not fair you have this nirvana thing going on, while Europe is a fucking bloody disaster all the time :)

You would prefer us fully engaged in combat with Europeans?

I Think we europeans should lay down our weapons and march, together, to the east and lay waste upon their cities.

It would make a nice holiday retreat.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I will fulfill the promise I made in the polls.

How can you possibly interpret "fighting internally" as a wish to see you fully engaged with Europeans?

I missed the internally :p
But all this talk of European aggression is worrying, maybe I should get more allies.

Funny you should say that. It just so happens that the nation you're currently occupying has been already doing that.

I think he meant lay down their weapons. Because Venice has definitely done that :p

I would love to see a counter of how many soldiers died during a war. The first world war and this must be over a million at least.

Arent these stats in the end game screen for each war? For all individual countries at least.

No, they're per battle, and plenty of battles get skipped. There's a save-game analyzing tool somewhere on the Paradox forums that has a casualties/war output, but otherwise you can't do it unless Kab is willing to manually search the save files and add it all up.

That would be an interesting feature. I once tried to manually count the casualty figures for a war in Hearts of Iron 3, but that lasted for all of an hour.

I'm not willing to manually do it, but hook me up with that analyizing tool and I'll run this through it.

Please tell me this wasn't an hour spent fighting on the Eastern Front.

Thankfully not. Just Poland then Denmark/Norway. It got messy when the invasion of the Low Countries/France kicked off while the Norwegian invasion was still going on, so my little experiment came to an end.

Yeah, but how many of those million just fled from battle because they didn't want to serve under you tyrants any longer?

Toma is now forever on my blacklist. Denmark is supposed to be under my benevolent rulership .

I did enjoy watching that huge battle just north of Venice last game though.

You should totally get GB and Aragon to help you out in reclaiming Denmark then. I'll be happy to sit and watch all the huge battles over the Schleswig-Holstein question!

Would be super great if I could find someone to sub for tonight. Anyone who would have time? Crab?
