I like how bittersteel calls "Instabul" Costantinople. He truly took the role of a greek

@buddermonger2000 Год назад

To be fair, even the Turks called Istanbul Constantinople. The Turkish name is actually Constantinyye. "Istanbul" means something along the lines of "To the city" as the ottomans just started calling it "the city" and it was renamed during the early days of the Turkish Republic

@christos3280 Год назад

Constantinople was the official name of the City until 1930. Istanbul comes from "eis tin polin" which means to the city in Greek. And colloquially called "stin poli" - in the city.

I legitimately thought Venizelos was hardcoded to die within 365 days of becoming your leader considering I've never had him longer than the ~6 months needed to beeline the Byzantinists.

@ertrick3693 Год назад

There is some degree of deliberation to it. It's a "mean time to happen" of 650 days, at least for if you choose the path to restore the Venizelists to power. That means it's a *median* of 650 days for him to die; there's a 50% chance for him to die some time before 650 days and a 50% chance for him to die after 650 days. That may sound random, but a good way of thinking about it is there being a 50% chance he survives for longer than 650 days.

There's another tactic to defeat the turks, leave a few divisions on the frontline in thrace and then, with the rest of your army (at least 7 units mins) go to Chios and the eastern-aegean islands. from there, bee-line straight up to Izmit to cut off constantinople. If done correctly, you can take over constantinople without much of a fight and encircle the entirety of the turkish-thrace forces

Doesnt matter how early, there are always at least 4-5 per tile, often more. They run against me and keep dying but nothing happens until i get dragged into ww2 and then its game over and another 2 hours wasted

For anyone curious what the best Heavy Cruiser is, with an MIO that can buff armor, Armor 2-3, so you can’t be popped by light guns. If your admiral has the capital ship trait for negative AA, use secondary 2 in all slots that can take them, and heavy battery in any open slot. If he doesn’t have the negative AA trait, put DP secondaries and 2 heavy batteries and 2 aa guns. Your cost should be 5-6k ic and they will seal club light fleets and be very fast too. You can also research Carriers 2 and make converted hulls from cheap T1 lights and give them T2 carrier engines to speed up conversion and give yourself a means of dealing with enemy capitals, so long as you fly a few fighters to give you air cover against enemy planes. Best to use AP bombs and CV CAS because of the naval targeting over the torps, until you get torps 3.

Makes me wonder if in case of Yugoslavia splitting into semi-independent states through it's focus tree you can increase the amount of civs given trough the Bedrock of financial stability focus by A LOT

@Anonie324 Год назад

That's a good question. I can't be sure right now, but I suspect that the focus functions based on tags, and only Yugoslavia/Serbia, tagged YUG, would provide the civs. Also, being a democracy and building relations with so many other non aligned Yugo puppet states would be absolutely horrific in terms of PP cost.

@@Negativitie You basically rush Turkey to form Byzantinium, and use your big brain to encircle and destroy they army in any way you want (preferably in western thrace), then you form Byzantium very early, and go to war with Bulgaria, then you defeat them and you'll also be at war with Romania, so defeat them too.
