-
@Fash-E >last French emperor
Pretty short sighted to assume the French will never cycle back around to that form of government again. Better to say “most recent” French emperor.
-
@jimmybuffettfanaccount @Fash-E I mean, it won't be a French emperor (it'll be an Anglo, one of the true rulers of the French).
-
@Crux_Invictus @jimmybuffettfanaccount @Fash-E ANGEVIN KINGDOM
-
@givenup @Crux_Invictus @jimmybuffettfanaccount FRANGLO GANG!
-
@Fash-E @Crux_Invictus @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount what if Jean D'Arc didn't exist? The Anglo-French union might become real and we have to live with the combined retardness of those people.
-
@MK2boogaloo @Fash-E @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount How terrible, if that had happened you'd be speaking English! Oh.... Oh no!
-
@Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount I prefer my language so no thx.
-
@jimmybuffettfanaccount @Fash-E I'm waiting for an Italian to unfuck the country again
-
@Tadano @Fash-E For me it’s Hitler
-
@jimmybuffettfanaccount @Tadano @Fash-E Hitler was Italian wdym?
-
@MK2boogaloo @Fash-E @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount Yet you speak English in order to communicate with strangers on the internet who only speak English. Curious.
How courteous (like a proper English Gentleman).
-
@Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount now I'm the one being curious here, what makes you Anglos think that you would be the cultural master if there's a union with France? I'm pretty sure France has bigger culture than the Brits, so more likely than not they're going to be influencing you guys. We're not going to speak English, rather French.
-
@Crux_Invictus @MK2boogaloo @Fash-E @jimmybuffettfanaccount anglo french union apparently almost happened peacefully during ww2 read somewhere.
-
@MK2boogaloo @Crux_Invictus @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount depends on the period they unified, if it happened during the hundred years war or post napoleon, English would be dominant, if it had happened under carolingians or the capetians or bourbons or napleon france would have been dominant
-
@Fash-E @Crux_Invictus @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount >if it happened during the hundred years war or post napoleon, English would be dominant
This is wrong on so many levels. First off, did you know that kings of England prefer French as a culture and language over English? Richard the Lionheart couldn't speak English and prefer his homeland in Aquitane. Hell that's the whole reason why England wanted to conquer France, because they love the culture.
-
@MK2boogaloo @Fash-E @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount Not being an Anglo yourself you wouldn't understand. It's the kind of natural confidence, natural arrogance, that Anglos possess which make us the only possible choice.
-
@Crux_Invictus @MK2boogaloo @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount french vs english in an arrogance competition would be pretty high level competition
-
@Fash-E @MK2boogaloo @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount >France
>Dominant
Talk about hypothetical situations bordering on the impossible.
-
@Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount when the Goths declared that the Western Roman empire is no more, rather than becoming an empire of their own, they assimilated into the Roman structure and culture. This is how barbarians were usually pacified by the stronger, more culturally adept people.
-
@meso @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount I'm going to butcher your Bulgarian ass, and that's not disproving my point whatsoever.
-
@MK2boogaloo @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount you are literally a filipino inbred
-
@MK2boogaloo @Fash-E @Crux_Invictus @jimmybuffettfanaccount
-
@givenup @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @jimmybuffettfanaccount shit this song rocks, what's the title?
-
@MK2boogaloo @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @jimmybuffettfanaccount lionheart crusade
-
@MK2boogaloo @Crux_Invictus @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount Henry V was the one who changed the state language back to English before his invasion, if he had won it would have been dominant, this was during the english renaissance when english culture was flourishing while france was divided
-
@MK2boogaloo @Fash-E @Crux_Invictus @jimmybuffettfanaccount i often think about remaking this song, i like the opening.
-
@Fash-E @Crux_Invictus @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount I don't think the English nobles and future kings would be so nonchalant about the French culture in general. I think it falls down to which nation is more centralized and had greater noble influence on the state because they held sway on the nation's culture.
-
@MK2boogaloo @Fash-E @Crux_Invictus @jimmybuffettfanaccount well, in eu4 the angevin union is possible, and english culture gets converted to a french subculture called anglois
-
@givenup @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @jimmybuffettfanaccount I like EU4, just like you do. Though I won't use any Paradox game as an example because the devs are fucked beyond repair ideologically.
-
@MK2boogaloo @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @jimmybuffettfanaccount i dunno
-
@MK2boogaloo @givenup @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E I’ve heard rumors, dark whispers around the campfire, that they may even be Swedes
-
@MK2boogaloo @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @jimmybuffettfanaccount i just game, this is an mp game a friend i have been doing
-
@givenup @MK2boogaloo @Crux_Invictus @jimmybuffettfanaccount Whatre you gonna do about that massive turkroach infestation?
-
@Fash-E @MK2boogaloo @Crux_Invictus @jimmybuffettfanaccount manually induce a decline, i played aragon a while abck and vassalized byzantium at the start of the game which cucked htem hard, also went protestant cuz the pope kept excommunicating me cuz he wanted my land
-
@givenup @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @jimmybuffettfanaccount why do Spain players always let Portugal alive?
-
@MK2boogaloo @givenup @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @jimmybuffettfanaccount what are you gonna get out of it? fish?
just PU them and set to ignore
-
@Paultron @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount a clean border is essential to a map game.
-
@Fash-E @MK2boogaloo @Crux_Invictus @jimmybuffettfanaccount you know if you play the game around 1700 their unit type actually falls behind the rest of the world's in terms of quality so they're a lot easier to kill from that point on, but they are a pain in the ass i'll have to get england in on it or aangevin anyways cuz ai ottomans is like "obviouly need quantity as well"
-
@MK2boogaloo @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount Portugal is Spain's sidekick. Hispania would be nothing without good ol Port' next to it.
-
@Paultron @MK2boogaloo @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @jimmybuffettfanaccount you pu portugal after they've started colonizing, and you can focus on europe while it gives you colonies when you finally integrate them or inheirt them you got a colonial empire and you've conquered the shit out of the med :D
-
@Kerosene @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @givenup @jimmybuffettfanaccount they're probably one of the few nations which had very little fight with each other even though they're basically neighbors.
-
@Paultron @MK2boogaloo @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @jimmybuffettfanaccount despite spain being a colonizer it's never something i wanna focus on with them, if i'm gonna go all in on colonizing i usually play something small, to use the colonies to boost my power at home so i can conquer more cuz it's a sorta fun game, lot of free manpower int eh colonies to use.
-
@Zergling_man @MK2boogaloo @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @Paultron @jimmybuffettfanaccount i'm looking foreward to when the anbennar patch comes out, tho i acutally enjoyed playing base game for the first time in a while XD
-
@MK2boogaloo @jimmybuffettfanaccount @givenup @Paultron @Fash-E @Crux_Invictus Why aren't you playing Spirit Island
-
@givenup @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @Paultron @jimmybuffettfanaccount @Zergling_man I haven't played Anbennar, is it really as good as people said?
-
@MK2boogaloo @Crux_Invictus @Fash-E @Paultron @jimmybuffettfanaccount @Zergling_man i like it, it adds a race system in addition to culture, cuz you got orcs and gnomes and elves etc, you can genocide races, i dunno why that's what i went to first, maybe i just like genociding orcs, but uh, it's a really good total conversion, and it's got it's own world and history that's interesting, it's also fantasy, i had a fun time playing as a lich before
