LP: Empire. Total. WARRRRR!!!! (LP Finished check page 18)
« on: March 07, 2010, 11:44:04 pm »

Right so I've wanted to try and do an Total War AAR for the longest time, since I started playing RTW AGES ago.  Now that I've managed to play ETW a bit and get the hang of it pretty much I've decided to go ahead and start one.

I can't promise undying loyalty to the cause since I have a tendency to bugger off games after a few weeks but I'll try!  Also I kinda suck so it should be entertaining sometimes when I RAAAGEE AT MY FAILURES.  :P

Also feel free to bug me on steam about the LP! (ID: Rilder)

Player Participation!

ETW has the nice little feature of being able to name your units (And ships I -think-) So if you want a unit, let me know! However I won't be giving people generals I think though... well.. we'll see... (I can name the generals bodyguard unit though!) However I don't have any of the DLC so if you want one of the Elite DLC units, I can't afford the DLC atm  :P (EDIT, I have America, East & West DLC now Thanks Kalida!)

I'm playing vanilla for now except for the faction unlocking mod.
We shall be playing!
Austria!

We will be playing on World Domination mode as I dislike set objectives, and I'm massive turtler sometimes.

Choices for me:

1. Inuit if possible
2. If not, Italian States.
3. If not, Austria.

I'll take an admiral name Heyreddin Barbarossa (After another admiral of the same name)

Inuits look like they'd be REALLY hard to play as.

That I have no doubt, even though the ai kinda sucks in the new world.

Right, we have Twoish votes for Austria so lets do them I think.

Not those Austrian bastards! Oh well, they're still germanic. I would like a regiment named "Liederhosen's Finest", preferably a company of dragoons. Hussars or Line infantry would be fine as well.

I'll toss in a late vote for Austria as well, always fun to have the Habsburgs around (and, if the inbreeding is enough, Fun).  Though the Marathas are tempting as well, if a bit far away from the action.

And feel free to name a ship the Makkabäus (German version of "Maccabeus", of course) if that turns out to work.  If not... no ideas for land units, not at the moment.

So I've really wanted to play this game, given my obsessions with Medieval II, so good to see this.

However, I have to ask - why does every man in the general staff look like he's going to raep your soul?  Seriously, those guys are all creepy as fuck.

I don't think Ludwig von Baden-Baden is a real name...

I have no idea why they look that way...

Also despite Ludwig Von Baden-Baden not sounding like a real name, I think the name means "Ludwig of Baden-Baden

I'll take the prince. Give me some line infantry, maybe a cannon or two, and send me after the rebels. Do we have any skirmishers yet? If so I may need a regiment or two to round out my army.

This is just a rough plan, adjust it to fit our budget if you need to.

His name was Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden-Baden, actually.  Made quite a name for himself by 1700 in the Turkish Wars... always nice to see the roter Koenig show up (they even remembered to have him wearing his trademark red coat!).  ;D

It's clear I need to bone up on my 17th century Austrian political history.  I have shamed my education.

I'm not really giving people generals right now, except maybe the two small armies on the frontier.. at least for now, and in ETW there are no rebels at the start, unless you count the pirates, but you can destroy that faction.

Also played a couple more years update incoming.
