Someone did a WC as horde Ryukyu last week. yeah... horde.

That's... insane.

Just thinking...the inherent manpower and wealth of China, crossed with the instawar/no CB needed, morale and cheap troops of a horde....ye gods. If he zergrushes Europe before they can tech up, he's got a shot. Admittedly his infamy will make Attila the Hun look like St. Francis of Assissi, but what does it matter when you are the Yellow Peril?

How should I build my navies after getting light ships? I'd think they are important to have because of the speed, but is it a high enough effect to be important in combat?

Chronicles+miscmods.

[RedKing]

Not sure if it operates like HOI, where you have to have a certain ratio of screening vessels or you get penalized, but I tend to build about 2:1 heavy ships vs. light.

The other thing to consider is that light warships build faster and are cheaper. Use them for establishing a naval presence in your far-flung colonial stations to keep pirates from showing up. Plus, a couple of light warships should be able to neutralize any pirates that *do* show up.

But the bulk of your core fleet should be heavy warships with a handful of lights as flankers. Alternately, you could build two combat fleets, a heavy fleet to find and beat the enemy, and a fleet of light warships (with a high Manuever value admiral) to outflank the retreating enemy fleet and be there waiting for them when they retreat. That way you can annhilate large chunks of an enemy fleet quickly.

He DID zergrush Europe. See the later pages.

I particularly like the part where he was just starting to assimilate northern Italy when his king died.

So noted. Nearly shit myself when I saw those tribal succession crises.

[Tarran]

You think those are bad? Pfff, look at Prawnstar's AAR. He kills over 20 or so million rebels through the entire AAR.

I was going to play an ambitious EU3 game, then I remembered all that rebel crap

[Tarran]

Agreed. Only problem is that it sometimes runs the chance of having a depleted army fighting a large rebel army, resulting in the army disintegrating.

'only problem'?

rebel hunting is only good for island nations.

rebel hunters WILL try to go from spain to china if theres a path. theres no way to define regions for them...

[Rakonas]

Negative. The closest rebel hunters will pursue any given rebel army. Just havce multiple rebel hunters and shit will be fine.

There's a rebel hunt button?
