Re: How do you organize your turns?

Yes, that kind of intel both on enemy nations and on my own can be devastating in the wrong hands at the wrong time.

See (long and boring) example from my last finished game of a random turn notes:

Code:

                241(223),

-> VPS round down:

That is one great tip. I thank you and Micah for bringing it up!

My much less efficient procedure is to make sure no commander has defend orders by pressing the 'n' key and ignoring siegers.

Wow, now that was something :) Unfortunately I don't have the patience to do something similar, so usually small mistakes here and there lead to big problems at the end...

Re: How do you organize your turns?

Im too lazy for good notes. I tend to use something like AutoHotKey to create macros then update them. Such as, the "important provinces" part of WraithLord's notes would be something like Ctrl-Alt-C for CHECK which does a # then types in the province number. That way I can use it to make sure I roll thru each one and add recruiting. Then I just edit the macro to add each new important province.

I could even change the macro to do the recruiting so that one keypress does it all in 100 provinces but kindof kills the game for me.
