If you don't care about graphics too much but want a really satisfying + deep singleplayer mainly game try Victoria - An empire under the sun from paradox entertainment .

Hey!! I love Victoria and Europa Universalis!!! Super games.

6786 gold for 116 pd

It looks like an interesting strat that can be very good for nations with good pd such as marignon.

It can also be good for any nation if the nation can bring up a strong global .

I buy often 100 pd in SP but never did so far in MP .

If you take though e.g. marignon 80 PD cost you 3240 to buy .
If you would buy all the troops you get manually then marignon had to pay 140x10 + 2x40 gold for recruting = 1480 gold and 96 upkeep per turn . So after 18 turns it is cheaper then if you would buy the troops + pay upkeep ^^ .

With ulm , jotunheim , vanheim and abysia this strat is interesting as well .
Especially ulm + jotunheim have even potentially dangerous to SCs PD .

Did my turn now only arco left

I must admit that I have never seen PD over 100 ever before. It was a surprise for sure. And even though I killed a big portion of it, they all just come back at full strength. I wonder if Boron took this into account in his analysis above?

[Steerpike]

I am stunned with the whole concept of 116 PD.
SOooo expensive but no upkeep and replenishes itself totally if it survives the battle.
Everygame I learn something new.
The only problem I see is that an opponent can simply avoi it.

[Aku]

But if you hoard fetishes and have a low upkeep you could do it in all your provinces. You also don't castle and have like a mage or two in the battle front and it is devastating. It is unlimitted troops that stop raid armies which a lot of us do. The enemy will then have to dedicate itself to send out very large armies which can then be flamed from the skies, murdering winter, etc.

It is a very interesting strat that I wish we could get more data on its effectiveness. I doubt Panther wants to sacrifice troops for the sake of testing lol.

Do you maybe know Nebukadnezar ?
And do you maybe understand german as well ?
Nebukadnezar wrote 3 really gorgeous AARs (unfortunately in german only in the german victoria forum ) they show you what insane things are possible with victoria .

He had the patience to get over 1 million victory points with korea in 1920 e.g. .

If you browse the paradoxforum often i did about 200 Posts there as boron as well .
