Prefonteen Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 So a few of us have been toying around with Victoria 2, the good old industrialization era simulator. For shits and giggles I have decided to do an AARP on "The Zeebrus Challenge". If it turns out to be fun, I may do a few more with different PW personas. A few notes on game mode and settings: - I use the Historical Flavor Mod (HFM) for more immersiveness - Zeebrus decides my starting nation - I will attempt to run the nation Zeebrus picks to the best of my abilities. No reloads or cheats allowed. - Here is the kicker: Zeebrus gets to set my broad objectives, and add/remove choices at her convenience. Whatever objective she sets is what I will try to make work until told otherwise, no matter how ludicrous or unrealistic. I will provide updates and screenshots once the first choices have been made. Will the Zeebrus Empire thrive, or descend into lunacy? 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefonteen Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 The Grand Empress herself has informed me that I am to expand our border for the glory of our empire. That I am to bring grand prestige to our people. The empire needs colonies with rare resources to fuel its grand industries. It needs laborers and lands to settle. It has inferior rivals to overcome. Already a pinnacle of might, it stands ready to eclipse the other Great Powers. I open the curtains of my grand villa''s study to look upon the subjects I have been chosen to lead in the Empress' stead: Benebrus Zeenold McTendoBetrayer-vandaag om 22:56 Yis Sorry I'm a little busy irl that's why I'm slow with responses I said Krakow tho @Leipe Serpent Flavour Ah... Krakow.... Pearl of the east. The Polish metropolis. There is no greater place. No nation more glorious. Its prowess feared by all. The blood of the Winged Hussars runs through our blood. I digress. The Empress has given me a simple and straightforward task. To retake the Baltic port city of Gdansk (Danzig) in preparation for glorious colonization of lands far away. Benebrus Zeenold McTendoBetrayer-vandaag om 23:04 Ooo You should get it back for Poland then There are a few obstacles to our rightful reconquest of Gdansk. The Austrian Empire seeks to Annex us. Prussian and Russian imperialists must be crossed to achieve our objective as well. Nothing we can't handle though. Who am I to question to Empress' designs, after all. In the following report, I will inspect our city's demographics and set up our initial plans. From there... the game begins. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefonteen Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) The city of Krakau. A peaceful, Mafia-run city of 100.000 citizens (the majority of which are Catholic coal miners). Coal happenst to our only export product. We import everything else. Wedged in between Prussia, Russia and Austria, we will need to employ shrewd diplomacy and bee-charm to set the great powers up against another. We will destroy all the puny nations around us. From here, I will leave minor internal management decisions out of the report and focus more on major internal and external events. We start sphered by Austria. They presume to be our superior- our master. Their arrogance will be their fall. The Empress has no masters. We will shrewdly increase relations with the Russians while structurally denouncing and insulting the pompous Habsburg charlatan king. The Austrian's dislike us now. We care not for the opinion of mice. The Austrians have responded by banning the Russian ambassador from our lands. How dare they. How dare they prohibit my Empress from having Tea with foreign dignitaries. Following a slew of insults and denouncements, we have at last thrown off the shackles of oppression. Our future alliance with the Rus awaits! But the vile Austrians, distraught over our departure will not leave things like this. Their vengeance will be swift: Bastards! Benebrus Zeenold McTendoBetrayer-vandaag om 00:26 Damn austrians Let's attack them And so the order was given, for the nation of Krakow to begin preparations for war. A long plan. A decisive plan.

Prefonteen Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 The Austrians find themselves occupied in the orient. Now is the time to hatch our plan. The Russians stand with us against the Austrian menace. They follow our glorious lead! Three years later, our people rise up in a sweeping call for national unification. The time is not yet right however! We must suppress the revolutionaries, for embracing them will cost us our alliance with Russia and leave us defenseless against imperialist annexation. The Austrian oppressors at last meet their demise! Italians and Hungarians have risen in revolt while the French deal ith revolutionaries as well. We begin justifying our war immediately in hopes of timing our attack. The charlatan King steps down. 1849, the war for Galicia-Lodomeria! Our Winged Hussars move valiantly against their foes, supported by Russian irregulars. Our hussars moved east along the corridor to link up with the Russians. Full occupation followed. Vicory! The Austrians and Russians have negotiated a peace treaty which sees Galicia-Lodomeria handed over to its rightful owner. The people of Krakau rejoice as they are reunited with their cultural brothers. My empress now commands 100.000 superior, well educated Poles in krakau and 500.000 uneducated plebs in the rest of the country. Bureaucrats and Clergymen are sent out to educate the masses to our standards. In a twist of events, Polish majorities under Russian occupation have revolted! The Russians move immediately to crush the rebellion. We can do nothing but watch. Ultimately, the rebellion is defeated and territories are returned to Russian rule. We recruit more allies from the edges of the empire to our cause of Austrian destruction. The Austrian menace has gone to war against the Italians! We must seize the advantage and punish those who brought us Cholera! To war for the Queen Bee! (2 years later, after war justification and prep) We go to war alongside our Russian allies once more! Russian forces move south as our grand army lays siege to Lemberg! Half year later, a Russian Avalanche has descended upon the Austrian lands. The Austrians collapse and accept a punitive peace agreement. Our allies in the united provinces claim southern territories while we claim the remainder of Galicia and Slovakia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prefonteen Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 The following five years were spent building up our industries and preparing our armies. The Queen Bee's decree was not forgotten however: Austria must be destroyed. Danzig must be taken. 1862: Following expiry of the truce between coalition forces, Austria launches an assault on the United Provinces to retake its territories. Our Russian protector saves the day. Simultaneously, the Austro-Prussian brother's war fires. It appears that our enemies squabble amongst themselves. The empire stands defeated! Prussian influence reigns supreme in Germany, and the Austrian lands are ripe for plucking. The North German Federation has been formed. They continue to hold onto the port we covet. They must fall. eventually. Three years later, The Austrians reform as Austria-Hungary, yes the Hungarians seem less enthusiastic abut the prospect and rebel. The Hungarians go unprotected. Their resources would prove useful in fueling ou northern conquests and preventing an Austrian return to power. We spend the coming two years justifying our war: March, citizens! Bring glory to our empire! Following a relatively quick fight, the Hungarians accept our demands, and we take their industrial heartland. 4 years later, we enter into an agreement with the French to counteract a budding German-Austrian axis. The oriental crisis occurs. The Ottoman Sultanate is ganged upon by a Russian-led coalition. Current German-Austrian axis and austrian CB's. The oriental crisis ended and led to the balkanization of Ottoman lands. New possible brothers in arms found their independence in Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Greece and Dalmatia. We must establish diplomatic relations! The Romanians move against Hungary. This is not our war. We will instead focus on continuing our economic buildup. Ah. Our diplomatic efforts bear fruit! We are slowly collecting balkan nations into our pact against the Austrians. Our policies have been profitable! Industrialization and conquest have turned Galicia into a great power of its own! We are now placed outside the Russian sphere of influence. They too, must fall eventually. For they hold Warsaw, our Polish capital! Outrage! Betrayal! The Austrian Imperialist attempt to knock us off our golden throne. They dare defy the empress. We will not have it. We will dismantle the habsburg dynasty. Call forth our allies! Send a dispatch to the French! The balkan mobilize! Our armies move out. Yet the Austrians have called on allies of their own. The Germans join this war of oppression. They threaten to overrun us. A last ditch alliance-offer is sent to the Italians. They accept. Perhaps we may be saved after all. Our foces are slowly being pushed south and eventually obliterated. Krakau is besieged. Ludicrous! Our newfound allies will not join our war: The French prohibit us from negotiating with them! Or do the Italians refuse to talk to us without the French? Nevertheless. This is the nail in our coffin. Do our Polish ambitions die this day? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prefonteen Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 July 8th,, 1889: It's a dark day in our history. Gallician armies stand defeated. Slovakia is reclaimed by the Austrians. We are however allowed to retain a Hungarian enclave and our heartlands. The defeat has hit our economy heart. One fourth of our industries were lost in the ar. Our economy is headed toward bankruptcy and our military is a shell of what it was once. The world no longer views us as a Great Power. In the following 6 years, a gradual economic recovery is made. Economic hardship translates into popularity for the socialist party. November 28, 1889 will go down into the history books as a Doomsday for the Gallician people. Our Austrian nemesis has linked up with the Russian bear and invaded our lands. We find ourselves surrounded! Seeing no way out, I immediately sue for peace on behalf of our empress. Austrian demands are clear: The map is to be redraw as follows: The Hungarian conquest which we had invested heavily in for its industrial capacity has been lost. We stand alone, wedged between hostile nations. We turn to the Germans and begin a charm offensive. Four years later, our diplomatic outreach hasp aid off. The Germans decide to accept our alliance offer. Our economy is a cause for concern however: Debt has racked up for years and we find ourselves unable to dig out of the proverbial hole. Over the following years, we at last reach bankruptcy. Outraged revolutionaries seize the means of production. Galicia becomes the first Communist nation. Under communist rule, glass and steel industry skyrocket. Oil is found in galician territory and exploited with fuel refineries. Polish minorities abroad see the astronomic development of their galician brethren and clamor for reform. We must export our revolution and bring vengeance to the Russians who double crossed us! September 9, 1897: The time has come! To war. The Capitalist German scum turns out to be good for one thing: Destroying the Rus. We march! For Comrade Zeebrus! Who brought true civilization to our lands! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prefonteen Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Glorious revolutionary forces cross north into the border. They are heralded as liberators by the oppressed Polish Proletariat. The war goes well. Russian forces prove inferior against the highly advanced Soviet Polish Stormtroopers. We will expand our demands to include the Eastern Polish region of Ljublin. German forces move to relieve the threatened south-eastern flank. The Russian front is on the brink of collapse. Ring the bells! Peace has been achieved! The Polish People are sovereign once more! The revolution grows! We move to reform the institutions immediately: Ruled from Warsaw in its heartlands, the Polish people live in an economically thriving utopia. Comrade Zeebrus has delegated her powers to the people. Spheres of influence are as depicted above. Though the communist party was already firmly n power, the country officially abolished democracy in 1899. We are the revolution, comrade. The event unfortunately leads the German capitalists to end our mutual alliance against the Russians. We do not need them anyways: They follow a false ideology. The final steps are taken to ensure the success of the revolution! We choose to exterminate all landowners and aristocrats. The bourgeoisie is eradicated in Poland. Following through on the people's reforms, Female Suffrage is abolished in 1900. Zeebrus, though still our Empress, is no longer allowed a vote or say in matters of state. Under our new paternalistic communist rule, the Polish economy and science flourish. A nobel prize is even won! Snapshot of the major powers in 1901: Notable are Italy which does surprisingly well for itself, and Mexico which is... a Great Power!

Prefonteen Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 The representatives of Zeebrus without consulting Zeebrus have deemed it in the best interest of the Polish People's Republic to purge all dissenters within our society. There is no room for dissent in our utopian society. 1903: We are at war once more! The Russians have mounted a coalition and seek to obliterate us. Glorious polish armies line up at the border awaiting the barbarian onslaught. Superpower Great Britain and The Netherlands issue similar declarations of war. Poland stands alone. Polish forces easily repel the first wave of attacks. Thousands of russians are massacred on the frontline. We decide to demand our eastern cores. Britain and Dutch forces remain nowhere to be seen. The frontline, four months into the war. October 5: 54.000 Serbs cross into East Galicia through Austrian or Romanian territory. They are met by comrade Wawrzcecki and his host of 53.000 mobilized irregulars and 6.000 cuirassiers. Warwzcecki leverages terrain to score a total victory: 40.000 russians perish. Polish casualties exceed 8.000. Following a series of victories, the Russians sue for peace. Britain and The netherlands do not seem to care: Their armies must have gotten lost en route to Poland, or they must have heard of the revolutionary victories and turned back around, leaving the Rus to fend for themselves. In either case: Our cores are returned to us. Onward, comrades! The Italians request assistance in another war. It becomes an easy war, lost by the Austrians. Polish forces prevail once more. The world recognizes the greatness of Zeebrian Communism! All hail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefonteen Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Germany holds on to Polish-inhabited territory. Territory which is rightfully ours, historically owned by the Commonwealth! We must retake it in due time and free our brethren. Fascist sentiment rises amongst some of our people. They should know better. The Zeebrus of the People denounces these vile ideologies. Zeebrian communism is the only way. The great patriotic war against Russia made it clear that the Poish people must extend their diplomatic reach and foster alliances. We signed a treaty with the Kingdom of Italy and brought our historic ally, Romania into our sphere. (fun fact for the watchers; Italy has been going full mussolini) Reform! The Polish people now fall under a Totalitarian Communist regime under Chairman Partisan and his People's Committee. All in the name of Comrade Zeebrus, ofcourse. Chairman Partisan is her voice, absent female suffrage. Political spheres as of april 107 depicted above. The French have fallen out of power. Austria holds on for bare life. The previously russian-led Balkan now falls under Polish influence. Serbia remains loyal to Russia. Denmark is loyal to the UK. The Germans and Belgians are one. The Capitalist pigs insult our glorious ideology! This is not good enough! We will have vengeance! Our cause for war is justified in the eyes of the international community! How glorious would it be for Poland to export the revolution to Germany and bring the budding German Bourgeousie to justice! But our allies, the Italians hold a treaty with the German Empire as well. So we stay our hand and await our opportunity. Leopold-vandaag om 16:58 frick the poles THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. WE WILL HAVE WAR. THE GERMANS WILL LEARN THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS, INSULTING THE POLISH PEOPLE. 1907: A crisis erupts over Ottoman-held Mosul: The major powers besides Britain dont really care. The Ottomans cave and release Iraq as an independent nation. Comrades! The Russians and the Germans have engaged into a war of Honor. Our research departments have ben dispatched to find out where either party might have found honor in the first place. This may spell opportunity however: Both Russia and Germany hold rightfully Polish lands. We watch eagerly! We receive an offer from the Rus. They seek to enlist us in their existential struggle against Capitalism. Though the Rus themselves are of the old aristocratic order, the Germans hold on to Gdansk- our objective as set by comrade Zeebrus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prefonteen Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) The Proud Polish People's Republic marches to war! German forces are engaged with the Rus in the northern Baltic. We will attempt to cut them off and eradicate them before reinforcements arrive. We will depend on our Balkan allies to hold our southern flank. Gdansk will be Polish once more! For Zeebrus! The sides as of the declaration. We started a seperate war rather than joining in on the old one as this allows us to enforce our own demands more easily. Surprisingly, the Austrians rear their ugly bourgeouis heads once more, and ally with the Italians and Germans once more. This creates a connected front. The Spnish, Belgians and Dutch side with the Germans as well. This is Total War! An existential war- the survival of our legacy is at stake! Our main force moves north and dishes a fantastic blow to the German armym while a secondary force is dispatched to intercept Dutch reinforcements. The battle of Elbing becomes a pyrrhic victory. An intriguing proposition is made. We shall take it and see what may come to us: Our great diplomats have contracted Bolivia to our cause! Surely, victory is within our grasp! June 30: Polish forces have been pushed back into their own territory by combined enemy forces. The Prussians and Dutch in particular prove more organized and more technologically advanced than their Polish counterparts. They must have found Alien technology- how else could they upend the Communist Utopia? October, 1908: We must sue for peace before the Germans eradicate us all. The war is lost. Everything is lost. I sit down at the negotiating table anticipating a complete humiliation. Reluctantly, I place my signature on the papers laid out before me. The Treaty of Warsaw has been ratified. We have peace, but at what price? The terms of the treaty include a partition of Polish territories between Russia, the Germans, the Austrians and a new independent state "Ruthenia". Warsaw is held but becomes an enclave within Russian territory. Inaccessible and undefendable. The treaty also includes demilitarization and other humiliating terms. The revolution is in a coma. This was the 4th Partition of Poland: Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Edited June 25, 2018 by Prefonteen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prefonteen Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 While the war rages on in Russia, we turn our attention to our ravaged homelands, where revancist sentiment seeps into the hearts and minds of the proud Poles. Chairman's first order of business following the humiliating defeat suffered at the hands of the Germans was to recognize Ottoman Judea and Levant as legitimized Jewish lands. In his declaration, he stated:"My first priority and duty to this country, is to conduct the direct orders of Empress Comrade Zeebrus. It is with that in mind, that I make the following declaration". Outrage washed over the Polish people upon hearing this gross misprioritization by their Polish government. Had Zeebrus gone mad? From here, the Chairman shrewdly moved to the limelight, riding the nation's dissent for his own gain. The Geneva Convention was a restrictive measure which contributed to the Polish defeat at Elburg. We must withdraw from it! Liquor is the root of all evil! We must reform if we wish to survive in this new era! Moderation is key for our commune. April 1909: Russia surrenders at last and the Treaty of St Petersburg is signed. The treaty, aside from the standard humiliation and demilitarization, includes the following partitioning: - The German Empire takes control over the Baltic - Belarus is released - Ukraine is released - Various nations are released in the Caucasus - Moravia is released - The Ural becomes a German Colony - .... The Polish Congress is released as a presidential Dictatorship I dropped my glass as I heard this news: Two poland's now exist. The dictatorship, a mockery of a puppet set up by our former ally, Italy, and the glorious Communist People's Republic of Poland. This will not stand. Polish partition, 1909: Warsaw remains an enclave in fake Poland. Revanchism and Outrage further grips the Polish Commune: 1910: Fascist rebels besiege Poland. Superior Polish forces are unable to quell the rebellion due to the terms of the treaty of Warsaw. November 2, 1910: Germany has bee embroiled in a war for the French reconquest of Elsass-Lotharingen against the United States for some time now (The French bowed out rather quickly, leaving the USA and Germany in a state of perpetual Long-Distance war). Germany has apparently determined that only the glorious Polish People's Republic can save them from the Capitalist wrath. They offer us a treaty in exchange for our support. We consider accepting. As we survey the diplomatic news, we notice now liberated (previously russian) kamchatka at war with buyat. The Polish imposters have declared a conquest aganst Belarus as well. Will this new Poland be more succesful than we were? Ultimately, we accept the German offer, hoping that it may help us revitalize our position in the diplomatic community. Our people are tired of trying to remember that we are at war with the United States. The United States is the Enemy. The United States was always our enemy. Germany is our ally. Germany was always our ally. 1913: Communist Revolution has fired in Russia. Th nation is embroiled in chaos. Crisis! The UK demands the release of an insignificant Russian backyard territory! Russia lacks the power to resist and caves. The revolt succeeded! The Soviet Union now exists. Welcome, Comrades! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prefonteen Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 European borders, 1913. More Fascists rebel in Warsaw. Our armies are again unable to reach them. I have angry letters sent by pidgeon in a desperate attempt to persuade the Fascists into submission. They don't cave. October 9, 1914: We declare the Polish Unification war. There is still hope for our revolution, but we need our Brethren with us. To war! We call the Germans to return the favor and assist us, for we are technically breaking the treaty of Warsaw. October 10: Fascist revolutionaries use the chaos of the Polish unification war to besiege the Warsaw government and seize power. Poland is now Fascist, led by a charismatic leader with a familiar face, named "Herr Partisan". He claims to be a totally different administration with far more peaceful intentions. Germany accepts our call to war. Ofcourse they do. Can't say no to Fasci..... ah frick it. Let's not go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prefonteen Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 The unification war! Italy defends its mockery. The rest of the world has surprisingly sided for Polish Justice. We should be back in days. The Soviet Union offers us a treaty to fight an enemy we are already fighting. Fascist Poland and Communist Russia allying? I have to fall out of character for a second and accept fr irony's sake. Betrayal! Retardation! The Germans have, on behalf of our coalition, granted white peace to the Polish Congress and supplanted our righteous Casus Belli with one of their own: Dismantling Italy. This war is no longer ours. We fight as slaves to the German scum. We invaded Ruthenia and retook the galician territory as a consolation price. The rest of the community denounces the move and infamy shoots up. We are not yet excommunicated however. The war continues. Comet sighted! -1 Stability! The Austrians declare war on Italy as well. Italy is as good as defeated. Things happen in China. We don't care. Back to the center of the universe: Poland! Dutch forces lay siege to Congress Poland in support of the Austrian invasion of Italy. We look on and cheer for the Dutch as they murder the traitors. In a grand gesture, Herr Partisan declares the truce as signed by Germany to be illegitimat due to the lack of Polish consent. War is (re)declared against Congress Poland. Rats! The international community denounces the war and white peaces en masse. Italy receives a respite from both the German and Austrian coalitions and is allowed to resume warfare on the Polish People. France decides to intervene. frick you too, France. Cowards. (I imagine this being the ingame equivalent of an entire group of friends going "yo, dude... uhh... fuuck.... not cool man.... im out.. peace dude..") The French demand Status quo. We accept after losing the initial battles. More revanchism sweeps the country. A doctrine of mass indoctrination is employed. The international community imposes economic sanctions on the Polish people. Herr Partisan issues a declaration claiming to have access to enriched uranium, and issues his intent to eradicate capitalist scum. More Rebels plague the land. Reactionaries seize Warsaw. A presidential dictatorship is installed under the lead of President "Theodosius", who promises to do right by the Polish people. President Theodosius' first and only act as a President was well.. okay... uhhhhh...... Let's move on. Ukraine immediately revolts. Another revolt. Liberals revolt and seize power. They elect a liberal democrat named "Partisan" to office. Partisan promises rapid reforms and privatization of markets. Despite the wars and turmoil, the proud Polish people still produce 14% of the world's electric gear supply. Fascists revolt and are elected to power. In a shocking declaration, Partisan states that: "Your democracy was a sham. It was I, Partisan, all along!". .. Austria immediately declares a war of containment. The war is an utter defeat for the Polish, and is followed by more sanctions and more revolutions. This was the end of my AARP- the nation is borked beyond belief, but god was it a rollercoaster ride. We came close to achieving Zeebrus' dream, but perhaps we crossed a few lines in the process. Oh well... I tried my best. I will be looking to do more runs like this in the future: It was a blast to play from a different vantage point with weird/near impossible objectives. If you wish for a cameo or want to direct/suggest a run, feel free to message me and who knows, maybe I will sandbox out you fantasy. No guarantees it goes the way you expect though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
