larp larp

play the mod itself

See the glory
Have the divinity of the mod be burnt into your eyes

[pine finch]

||i wanted to comit war crimes||

[minor flint]

You can play a crack philosopher who hates an entire spcies, goes on an adventure to end a baby dragon, takes over an entire continent just to be a mega evil villian

Turns dead people into blood crystals

[pine finch]

dread league?

[minor flint]

and shoots himself with a laser powered by a million of blood crystals

ascends

sees the devil

realises

he was racist against the wrong group of people

suffers

[pine finch]

realises what

[minor flint]

The Covenant

[minor flint]

he realises he targeted the wrong group of people to hate

[pine finch]

I'm new to that mod, so i have no idea what kind of creature even they are

[pine finch]

and he had already earased those people right?

[wide osprey]

they can also help you to see enemy's divisions

far from frontline

[misty fossil]

thats not my point

[wide osprey]

problbaly

[minor flint]

more so he took over an ENTIRE continent, set up puppets who's only job is to Kill EVERYONE

[misty fossil]

what i mean is how the hell can radars pick up like

[pine finch]

I'm intrested, can you be more clear?

[misty fossil]

idk imagine ur sitting in an office and a random radar can somehow read all the information stored on it

[opal nymph]

EaW? The only country I played was the griffonian republic and that was a fun game

[misty fossil]

bro you NEED to play eaw

😭

[opal nymph]

I did

Griffonian Republic was a fun game

[minor flint]

Dude I tell you you're missing out by not playing the normal mod

You should 100% play the new updated countries like the

Hyenia, Icepaw directory, griffon republic

[opal nymph]

I conquered basically the entire continent

[misty fossil]

play it again

[opal nymph]

For democracy

[misty fossil]

play katzenreich

the uh

april fools content

[wide osprey]

electronic Intelligence

[opal nymph]

I might play the river republic

Or whatever the green blob in the east is called

[minor flint]

Play as the communist Yetis

You get to choose and customise EVERY part of your society and at the end it gives you your very own subideology depending on your choices

[misty fossil]

river republic is very old content

you have nothing to do

i played it

[pine finch]

welp

i can't even see the difference of a griffon and an eagle in those portraits 😭

[opal nymph]

I completely ignored that aspect of the game except for making the unique unit

[minor flint]

Griffons are just

[X spcies of birds + Lion body]

Aquilia the French of EAW are Eagles

[pine finch]

wait werent they griffons

[minor flint]

I love the tech tree and custom subdoctrines in the mod

[pine finch]

😭

[minor flint]

I created a BEASTERLY

Irregular division

And and

Signals companies

can you give you extra ORG

[pine finch]

there are different griffons?

[minor flint]

if you choose the right sub doctrines

[minor flint]

Yes

[opal nymph]

Like I said, you can safely ignore this feature

Because that is what I did

[minor flint]

https://tenor.com/view/mlp-pirates-surprise-mlp-movie-gif-9214631

These also exist in EAW

[opal nymph]

And all I did was make the griffon knights in my game

[minor flint]

They are not Griffons

[pine finch]

yes but i want to know if im fighting inter species or other species

[opal nymph]

Both

[minor flint]

Also EAW basically canonised Furries

by adding Hyenas

[pine finch]

i'm having a hard time getting used to the lore

[misty fossil]

alright zebrican endsieg

[opal nymph]

I also mostly ignored this

Just go down the focus tree and you will be fine

[pine finch]

you just make an army and attack?

[opal nymph]

You got events you should probably read as you are going down the focus tree

[pine finch]

@minor flint thanks for your help

[opal nymph]

I only played griffonian republic and I highly suggest it

You are basically Taiwan but instead of against communists, you are against a monarchy

[pine finch]

i played escalation 84 and that singly made me want to play the original it actually

[minor flint]

chat look at this division

[opal nymph]

I dont know that game

[misty fossil]

its a submod for eaw

[pine finch]

humans vs ponies

[opal nymph]

Dang

[opal nymph]

Okay

There is also that one mod that brings Hitler to EaW i believe

[craggy trail]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/809452900757012510/1444289461075574939/3720061.gif

[opal nymph]

But maybe I should play EaW again

And have it get 2 views on YouTube because the audience is adverse to ponies

[craggy trail]

That’s typically for EaW

[opal nymph]

Huge idea

I hide the fact it is EaW

[pine finch]

EaW also has cats and dogs right?

[opal nymph]

And people click on the video, and I only have to deal with 1 minute viewer retention

[craggy trail]

Yes

We have Diamond Dogs from the show

[pine finch]

no i saw something like a cat on a loading screen

[minor flint]

that mod is banned in EAW

cuz of alot of egdelords

[opal nymph]

I only saw 1 YouTube thumbnail of it

[minor flint]

https://tenor.com/view/capper-mlp-my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-my-little-pony-talking-gif-17572318

It's also canon

[pine finch]

yeah something like this

i am so unfimilar with the mod lore when i got it first i tought "zebrica" is a kind of creatures 😭 😭

[minor flint]

watch the show

[pine finch]

oh hell no

[minor flint]

I watched even the movie

and I am at Season 8

[minor flint]

You cannot guess how many things are canon in the show

[pine finch]

i did the movie when i was a kid, i remmber some stuff but not much

[minor flint]

Also the show is NOT THAT obnoxious compared to other shows from the same genre

trust me
if the show was as childish I wouldn't have watched till season 8 and ongoing

[pine finch]

i mean the narative is unique and i appereciate it, they made a lot of lore for it

[craggy trail]

Remember, MLP has been a thing since it was first created and patented in 1982. Since then, MLP has gone through 5 different generations with Generation 4’s “Friendship is Magic” being the most outspoken

[opal nymph]

My only knowledge of MLP is from EaW and I have concluded that there is a lot of vaporizing of other species based on that

[pine finch]

i don't know man, beside the fact that it probably doesn't match my personality, i care about what others think about me

[pine finch]

ik it was a comic

right?

[minor flint]

no

[craggy trail]

IDW comics

[minor flint]

the comic is different

also the MLP comic is so much more complex than the show

the comic literally shows stuff they can't show in game

[pine finch]

ik the comic thing because some one said the comic had a refrence to reagan as a joke

[minor flint]

they made the Changeling Queen so much more horrifying in the comic

[bronze glade]

-48 divs

[minor flint]

In EAW You can play as Raegan

A Raegan look a-like

and he also gets impeached

[pine finch]

who?

[minor flint]

you get to beat up the cartel as him too

and do the war on drugs

[minor flint]

A zebra from colthage (you have to fight 3 back to back civil wars for that)

[pine finch]

EaW has drugs?

[minor flint]

It's a thing in the show too dawg

[pine finch]

well depends what kind of drugs you know

[minor flint]

also EAW follows MLP lore as a basis but it's lore is very different from the show

[minor flint]

Actual drugs

the type of stuff cartels do

[pine finch]

no i mean some drugs are more dangerous than other yk

[pine finch]

i don't think they got tanks in the show XD

@minor flint so you are telling me watching the show is not really that bad?

[tulip thorn]

They dont

Sad

[pine finch]

thanks for actually telling me the lore @minor flint

[pine finch]

very sad

and how do pony guns actually work in EaW?

[tulip thorn]

Unicorns have magic

pegasi can use their wings

and earth ponies can uhhh uhhhhh

[tulip thorn]

use a metal braket or something

[pine finch]

i had a stroke trying to find this out

i mean how do they pull the trigger

[minor flint]

If you want don't watch season 1-3

[craggy trail]

Imagination

[tulip thorn]

They can use their hooves to pick things up

Magic

[minor flint]

Like if you really just wanna understand EAW's lore

[tulip thorn]

The unicorns and pegasi are pretty self explanitory

[minor flint]

You can just watch the MLP Movie and the seasons after it

[pine finch]

every series early episodes are bad

[craggy trail]

https://tenor.com/view/pinky-mlp-my-little-pony-hands-gif-10592912

[minor flint]

Unicorns use magic, pegasus use their wings

[minor flint]

https://tenor.com/view/rarity-eqg-equestria-girls-my-little-pony-mlp-gif-16532252400148709885

boy you are not ready

[pine finch]

based on EaW models it seems they strap the rifle on their back, move their hooves there and instead of "pull" the trigger they press a large stick

[steel spear]

is this good chezk run

[tulip thorn]

Yeah sounds about right

[pine finch]

if you have ever looked up close, their guns has no tiny trigger but a large stick

[minor flint]

they strap it to their back to carry it

they can use their hooves to shoot

[pine finch]

and fire it

[minor flint]

also hands exist in EAW

cuz you know

[craggy trail]

NATO colored icons

[minor flint]

Griffons have claws, dragons,

[pine finch]

have you seen that luger on buttom of the map?

[minor flint]

no how it works

[minor flint]

yes

[untold cove]

can yall give me a good mountaineer division

[maiden bolt]

WW3

[pine finch]

@minor flint so early seasons are boring?

[pine finch]

switzerland in ww3 but not iran

wild

and no turkey as well

[maiden bolt]

Because Russia won the European War

[wide osprey]

why are they all the same

😟

[pine finch]

based on my childhood memories thats not weird there actually

[opal nymph]

Imagine if MAD still existed

[tulip thorn]

Too many pinkie pies

[craggy trail]

They are actually the more memorable episodes

[opal nymph]

Game over the moment Russia loses a core state

[pine finch]

what does it mean

[tulip thorn]

Im going to be completly honest, I wasnt really hooked on the show until season 2

[minor flint]

yeah
Like I'd still prefer if you'd watch the whole series for the context but yeah the later seasons get so much better

Like I literally saw a Rick n Morty, a Gordon Ramsey, Gambling referance in one episode

[tulip thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-my-little-pony-meme-gif-4049533746796326232

[minor flint]

Also technically say the US Presiddent is also in the show

[pine finch]

maybe i would watch it completly

i need a soemthing to chill down with, and remmebering some old memories

[minor flint]

HMM

[minor flint]

you could also just speed run the early seasons like S1 - 4 in 2x speed

[trim plume]

DAMN IT

DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT

my GAME crashed

again

[pine finch]

have you played escalation 84? now i have a fact for you

[pine finch]

well, i want to remember some old memories

[misty fossil]

holy @tulip thorn look how many planes i captured from dread lague

[trim plume]

talkin bout sum escalation 84

like their content hasn't ended

90 years ago

[tulip thorn]

oh my god

Late game is insane

[misty fossil]

its only 1019

[tulip thorn]

💀

[wide osprey]

what is this menu

[tulip thorn]

Its the quick deployment buttons

[pine finch]

@minor flint @tulip thorn did you know some of the generals you get in escalation 84 are actually from a video game called "world in conflict"

[opal nymph]

Literally my Sherman stockpile in my New England game in Kaiserreich

[trim plume]

tbf

i figured out an easy way

to deploy

without waiting for the

[tulip thorn]

I have no idea what either of those are

[trim plume]

days for it to actually deploy

which is splitting it

the airforce

[opal nymph]

Impressive, very nice

[minor flint]

nope

[pine finch]

haven't you played the escalation 84 submod?

[tulip thorn]

no I havent

[pine finch]

may i DM you?

[wide osprey]

bro turned the whole country into a warehouse

[pine finch]

its where earth goes into nuclear winter and humans escape to EaW world but with 1980s tech

[tulip thorn]

I actually think i've seen that

never played it though

[minor flint]

sure

[tulip thorn]

yeah i've seen it before

[pine finch]

its very short but its fun at the first place

[tulip thorn]

Very similar to a newer mod for base hoi4

That adds equestria to the map

[pine finch]

what is it called?

[tulip thorn]

canterlot is sent to the human world just before the changlings capture it

Beyond the Mirror

[craggy trail]

To Estonia

[tulip thorn]

Its not bad

I played both of the complete paths

One last big party

[pine finch]

@tulip thorn and ponies try to survive humans?

[tulip thorn]

The current paths that are complete, you try to invade all the humans

[pine finch]

why would ponies do a world conquer? beside the fun ofc

[tulip thorn]

The mod currently has a lunar empire path

and a path where pinkie pie goes full on crazy

[pine finch]

thats not good

[tulip thorn]

Praise thy night

https://tenor.com/view/blep-mlp-luna-tounge-ppllbh-gif-18174900

[pine finch]

@tulip thorn whats the mod called?

[tulip thorn]

Beyond the Mirror

[pine finch]

and do ponies come with all of their army?

[tulip thorn]

They have quite a bit of a demorilized super weak army

Its what was left of the defenders of canterlot from the changling hordes

[pine finch]

indeed

landing in a world with tens of large army

[untold cove]

i hate japan with every fiber of my being

[pine finch]

@tulip thorn thanks for the suggestion

[tulip thorn]

yeah np

[dusky burrow]

Yes

[pine finch]

still can't undrestand the escalation 84 logic

you can craate factories at the first few weeks of arrival out of thin air

but you have to research your tech again

[misty fossil]

for the supposedly behind country they sure hav a lot of factories

And ofc more

But paradox wont do that

Have you ever noticed that a suspicious amount of cities in china end with zhou

What were the chinese thinking when naming cities???

[misty fossil]

i cant remember what zhou stands for, but

i think its an old chinese word for cities or something

kinda like how a lot of western cities are named something like "City of [name]"

city of london, city of sydney, city of new york...

same deal with zhou

so im not surprised

[viscid stirrup]

So half the cities are zhou and half the cities arent?

[misty fossil]

so Guangzhou is like land/city/whatever of Guang(dong)

i dont know

im vietnamese not chinese

i knew barely enough han chinese to know it means something, but not enough to know what

only attack is important for generals and field marshals, except for faction commanders where planning and logistics matter because faction commanders reduce your supply consumption based on the sum of planning and logistics

[terse skiff]

any breakthrough over 400 in vanilla sp is a waste

[frank estuary]

It's overkill or nothing, and this ain't vanilla.

[turbid ravine]

yes.

The combat width is 70

Your div is too weak

[tulip thorn]

Only a few units are in the battle at once

[turbid ravine]

9 inf and engineer company

[winged field]

Not enough soft attack and breakthrough

[craggy trail]

What the tank design look like?

[winged field]

Yeah exactly

[turbid ravine]

is there no way to solve this?

[winged field]

Good for holding and defense. Don't expect it to break through

[turbid ravine]

most of the time theyre doing just fine, its just sometimes they just give up at like 83(%) and leave the tile

[winged field]

Force attack ig

They can't do it always

[turbid ravine]

dang okay

[winged field]

You can just counter them with with last stand

Or how it's called

okay ill try.

[craggy trail]

You can mount Super Heavy Cannons with the Advanced Modern Turret

[frank estuary]

I usually slot in a TD for armour meme.

[exotic bridge]

gotta prep for a civil war

[frank estuary]

Does one need that much piercing?

[craggy trail]

Not really. You don't really face super heavy tanks or Land Cruisers

[frank estuary]

Then again, it's overkill or nothing. You're clearly not HOI4-ing it if your tanks can't pierce the Earth's mantle.

[fickle thicket]

Weakest defense of luxembourg

[opal nymph]

@craggy trail I forgot the name of it, but the France like tag in EaW, is it always supposed to form into the Griffonian Republic?

[upbeat tundra]

why they go to war with the soviest 1 year earlier lol

[opal nymph]

I thought it would be a much smaller state

That just allies with the actual griffonian republic

But I seemed to have just annexed it

[craggy trail]

Aquileia. It used to be that they will go harmonist and split with the Griffonian Republic to form their own Herzland sphere

[opal nymph]

Also are there any postwar elections, I seem to have been locked into non-aligned

[craggy trail]

They are now historically Pan-Griffonian (Non-aligned)

[upbeat tundra]

whats the best n ation in EaW

[opal nymph]

Ah, maybe that is why I was able to do that easily

[craggy trail]

There’s not really a best nation. Just what kind fits your playstyle

[upbeat tundra]

what about the deuthes reich

[opal nymph]

It is the mod I've seen in a YouTube thumbnail

[craggy trail]

Ah. You’re playing that mod

[opal nymph]

I'm going to clickbait my viewers and state "The weirdest France path I have ever played"

And just show Aquileia gameplay

[craggy trail]

Find the state with the bird pun

[opal nymph]

Well, I got a lot of states to look at now

[craggy trail]

It’ll be a little town on the northeast within Aquileia

[opal nymph]

Ah okay

[craggy trail]

I am still rebooting the game, I exited out of it earlier

I don't think I know much about bird puns it seems

Alf Landon is the way to go

I've named 3 ships the Alf Landon Class

whenever i go something other than democracy, america is driven into a civil war which i cant win

skill issue i guess

[noble turtle]

Just wonder if I was the first one find out this bug?

[exotic bridge]

oh my god same

it's unreasonably hard

all you can do is get an awful division start the civil war then change those divisions that will melt the divisions the north take

hi guys how do I defend against Germany and Italy as historical France

this was the infantry divison I used for defending

[exotic bridge]

my God

[terse skiff]

remove line art and trucks

also if you abandoned air then you'll need at least two aa battalions

[molten meteor]

no I had air

so its fine

[elder lichen]

Youll rule the waves in 1948

[exotic bridge]

I'm making the Alf Landon Fleet
50 submarines (including 20 cruiser subs)
60 destroyers
30 light cruisers (10 torpedo cruisers included)
3 carriers
8 heavy cruisers
5 Battleships
and 1 super heavy
idk why I'm making this thought it'd be fun

[untold cove]

67 submarines

[exotic bridge]

been building this fleet since the start of the game

it's almost ready

[molten meteor]

I suck at hoi4 for a person that's played for like 300 hours

[exotic bridge]

oh buddy you don't get good until 1000

[untold cove]

pick a nation and master it, you'll learn a lot

[exotic bridge]

this guys right

[molten meteor]

should I master france

[exotic bridge]

I reccomend germany or the US as a good start

[exotic bridge]

NO

[untold cove]

i learned about a lot when i was mastering germoney

[molten meteor]

but I like the french

they seem like a very moderate nation

[untold cove]

france has very wide borders and colonies

you will have a hard time protecting your lands

[exotic bridge]

france is complicated sometimes I forget the colonies in asia

[untold cove]

try UK if you want capitalist experience

[exotic bridge]

most of europe is difficult

[untold cove]

their colonies are autonomous so you can have fun on your own

its like having your big brothers looking out for you

[molten meteor]

cant I just release colonies as France

and make them fight for me

or something

[untold cove]

no because they are integrated within you

[molten meteor]

also I figured out I could release algeria as a puppet, and then reannex it through my focus and core it

and the ai will have built factories or something

[untold cove]

or maybe you can

you can try doing that

i recommend italy or germoney tho

[molten meteor]

I wish I could just release a big West African puppet or something

[wet flicker]

In the name of Jesus they can't kill my spy 🙌

[molten meteor]

is this Germany

oh it is

Berlin

[wet flicker]

German empire

[molten meteor]

hmm how's it an empire

[wet flicker]

German empire is soo much more op than German reich

[molten meteor]

its more like a union

[wet flicker]

It's crazy

I dead ass had 80 civs and like 150 mils by 1939

[molten meteor]

why does Italy and France's industry suck

[wet flicker]

and all of rss i need since i annexed netherlands n puppeted dutch east indies

[wet flicker]

France's does seriously bad

[molten meteor]

I know I've noticed

[wet flicker]

But it's because of that one government focus you need to get rid of

[molten meteor]

these people hate working apparently

[wet flicker]

There's a focus strong government i think and it buffs the industry again

[molten meteor]

I like doing the national bloc and doing that laisezz faire research thingy

cause I can research all the industrial stuff quicker

and it makes me build factories really fast early game

but lowkey it doesnt matter cause I always lose on historical

I mostly blame the UK ai for not helping

cause I usually hold out until like 1941

[wet flicker]

How do i fix there supply there

[molten meteor]

you just dont

[wet flicker]

oh wow

[molten meteor]

use those planes that supply you or whatever

spam those things

[wet flicker]

Ohhhh yea

Bruh i dont even know how to use that mechanic

[molten meteor]

me neither

[wet flicker]

631 hours in

[molten meteor]

im 300 hours in

it took me until the 250th hour to start changing up my templates actually

I was just having a great time while losing

[wet flicker]

Do you play ironman

[molten meteor]

yeah

[wet flicker]

This shit introduced me to save scumming

I can't play ironman without it

Im bound to mess something up

And at the same time i dont wanna play with console at all

[molten meteor]

I never win btw

usually by later games I get lazy

I like playing the game simple

I dont like all the big mechanics and stuff in major nations

[vivid juniper]

One of my better, Austria Hungary , games, and on non-historical

This was before everything what the hell because communist Italy decided the declare War on everyone join communist Japan alongside Soviets

Started the war that would not end

[untold cove]

what is that greece

[vivid juniper]

They went communist

I was able kill them before Italy decided to go ham

[untold cove]

very good comrade

wouldn't horse battalion be better for resistance suppression

I probably should’ve decoupled from Britain when they started doing wax shit

They went fascist so Britain does what fascist Britain does.

im gonna always bring up how the german empire is the best in the game for now on

[dusky burrow]

mixed td-spg division be like

[supple summit]

Yo lads question

what would be best for the soviets? Centrist, Right or left?

[viscid mason]

center

[supple summit]

Why?

Just curious

[viscid mason]

heavy SPGs?

[viscid mason]

Most stable path + no civil war iirc

[dusky burrow]

IDK, someone was talking about heavy spgs earlier today

[supple summit]

fair

[dusky burrow]

center gives you good political power gain, right gives you wonky economy buffs, left gives you infantry rush

[supple summit]

So overall what would you say is best for the army?

idk

[exotic bridge]

the american civil war can't be winnable bruh

[dusky burrow]

it's typically going to be center i think, but idk

[viscid mason]

I wouldn't recommend a Heavy SPG until 1943 imo but sure I guess it could work.

[supple summit]

fair

[dusky burrow]

this would be someone's multiplayer template

don't know why they were including spgs

for some reason a soviet player wanted to include SPGs into their build against a German-Czechoslovak team of players

Probably works against space marines, but space marines were banned

[viscid mason]

where was this? I doubt red baron would do that lmao.

[left jewel]

Generally centre but you can do something pretty goofy with the left path

[dusky burrow]

it was in here: #ask-for-help-here message

[supple summit]

Oh what?

[warped spire]

as japan, why do i take all my subject's divisons

[wet flicker]

i wanted to take their navy

but ok

[left jewel]

you can cheese barbarossa as it lets you release puppets out of your SSRs, so you can release lithuania, belarus and the non core part of ukraine. Germany won't invade through it.

You can also do order 66 strat

[exotic bridge]

welp I tried making a Expansionist Democracy through fascism but they make the civil war unreasonably hard but good run tho

[supple summit]

order 66?

[left jewel]

funny world conquest bug in older versions

[opaque zinc]

Uh can someone explain why I can’t win this lol..?

God I love the hoi4 Reddit

[left jewel]

try adding more units

[viscid mason]

oh damn, maybe in a non competitive server this could work but then again you might as well just build normal heavy tanks with Heavy cannon 2/3 or used medium spgs if they wanted a mixed tank div.

[exotic bridge]

hmm more artillery

[opaque zinc]

Do you think I should make 50 more tank divisons yes or no

And they’re gonna be super heavies

[exotic bridge]

I only made that div to try to give the north bad divs so I could upgrade and melt them but they just kept spawning divs it was a swarm

[dusky burrow]

yeah i presume the soviets unlock two artillery branches as their main research

in this case the aa and artillery branches

[exotic bridge]

no 50 divs of straight artillery no support no infantry

[opaque zinc]

I hate how long arty 2 takes to research

[dusky burrow]

maybe

[dusky burrow]

then no

[opaque zinc]

I was playing guandong and on my life if I had gotten arty 2 quicker I would’ve beaten Japan

I promise bro

Also better planes

[exotic bridge]

mastering navy

[opaque zinc]

My Air Force was better than theirs but I knew I could’ve made them cheaper

[viscid mason]

oh probably that, I think they are trying to rush heavy howis or artillery 3 or smth. Yeah they probably should have just made medium spg if they wanted to make a mixed tank division.

[dusky burrow]

yeah navy is pretty much just this

[opaque zinc]

I was so close to the home isles and I had my headphones off so I didn’t see the biggest naval invasion in history

[dusky burrow]

the original poster didn't rush heavy howis, but i presumed so in the above division

Iirc heavy howis aren't worth it at all correct me if i am wrong.

I played it recently again

I used to love the Great War redux

[exotic bridge]

real checking battle results and seeing 15 torp bombers took out an entire japanese fleet is heavenly

[viscid mason]

What do you guys think if reliability meant that for every hour that the tank moves or attacks, there is a chance that it would just not work due to it failing (the lower the reliability the higher the chance the tank will fail) idk how reliability works in game but currently it's trivial.

I'm not sure i think it might

just wait until the thingy dissolves

I do't waste my pp on that treaty

Man the Guns was the US, UK, Mexico, and Dutch trees

[opal nymph]

But what if you want an early war

Get rid of the great depression and undisturbed isolation in 1936

And get Canada

And the rest of the British empire

Maybe the other signatories as well

[exotic bridge]

I just want to win teh civil war man I'm not even bothered with early wars
