# Session 6 Tier list

But Krediax, it's Wednesday why are you so late? Well because Yesterday the freaking referee game Ajax 2 red cards and a penalty WITHIN 20 SEC WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT REEEEEEEEE. Look at his face, I just want to punch it.

1-4 and this fucker first decides to allow an offside goal (we never saw the var line) and then he did the infamous 2 red cards and penalty one. Ofc with 9 Chad Ajax Players vs 11 virgin Chelsea players they still couldn't win. Fucking nerds.

## Herr gamer moments
GIVING 2 RED CARDS AND A PENALTY REEEE

### Western Inaction
Hey, Russia is going to give up a free show of strength, that's nice of him what a good lad. Who cares about that 15-year truce am I right? Not like he could use that time to attack somebody else without going to get punished for it. (spoilers he did).
At least when he's in bankruptcy after the war France can punish him then (spoilers he didn't)

### Rûm Isolation
Decides he wanted all of Kilwa for himself, in the process cockblocking his ally from the Kongo. Who then breaks the alliance. Leaving Rûm with going from 3 strong allies at the start, to only the Mughals left who are kinda busy atm.

## France tier
### France
France, in the France tier? What a shocking development (2530 btw). He has unis in every province that isn't 20 dev, which is actually a decent amount. Ofc he didn't go for quantity third so he didn't has that 10% dev cost policy. Since he is missing a lot of 20 dev provinces he is lacking a lot of training fields in those provinces. Still, he's basically done with his regimental camps and training fields that he can build. Fell under a PU with Britain, which actually meant they aren't Bff's anymore. Sure France got released again (with a 1/0/2 ruler) but they lost the 50 relations from being allied witch means they couldn't ally anymore. Surely France calmed down his expansion so they can ally again though (well no he didn't they are at -350 AE doubt they will ally again this game, well formally. 352/372 FL and 464 max manpower. Managed to fuck up his burgers big time, like very big time their loyalty will be around 15% meaning a sweet -10% TE and a 10% Dev cost increase. Meaning that I guess that he will go to war next session.

## A tier

### Aztecs
3k manpower recovery agonia Distinct. Still, hasn't built any regimental camps or training fields. Has built all the manus and workshops though. Fl is 305 with 184 regiment camps still needing to be built meaning he could field a lot of regiments really soon. Decided to lag behind in tech so he could dev more (I assume). No neighbor could challenge him though meaning he just saves around 120 points for each tech long term. He has halve a trade deal with the Netherlands, I don't get it but sure? I get that he doesn't want to move trade capital to make it a full deal, but he could steer from Mexico to the Carribean directly, which would add value for thems since no longer halve of it gets stuck in Panama.


### Great Britain
567 income 120 heavies. And that dear reader is all you need to know about Gbr.
Oke fine jeez. Didn't pick up maritime while there are nations that did. Meaning that currently, his naval quality is actually lower than the Netherlands. Managed to, just like France, piss of the burgers. If only you weren't a trade nation, if only its not a 70 income hit just because they are disloyal.
Took a good chunk out of Kilwa and Brunei this session. It seems to have his eyes set on the Indonesians now (50 heavies in Korea). I did some tests 3 in total now, Gbr won twice, Indonesians won once (still don't know why though), locked dice rolls, CW stacks, same admirals, nobody morale advisor (couldn't be arsed with rerolling any longer). 

### Russia
Comrad, great success! Those fools in Chukchi never even realized our plan muhahahaha With them being military depend on mother Russia soon they will have no choice but accept direct Russian administration. Russia, from baltic to Pacific, Russia, STRONK.
The tale of Russia this session is a curious one, it's one of war. Got attacked by France near instantly in the session and was clearly losing so decided to surrender. The Mughals Ambassador overslept and didn't read his memos so when the Russians attacked they weren't that worried, except you know, the full might of Russia could focus on the Mughals it was a standstill. When the Mughals ambassador overslept again his allies assumed he wanted them to white peace out. When then the Mughal Ambassador overslept for the third time (seriously why wasn't he fired?) He insulted the Georgians who then marched a Teheran. 
But jokes asides. Russia managed to beak Mughals (although "Just let me 1v1, a 1v1 is fair" "Oh no the Ruthenian troops and Georgian accidentally joined my side when Rum and Nepal white peaced out."). Looking at Russia now; 250 income and a FL or 316/316. Actually built a good amount of buildings (did you bankruptcy built in the war vs Mughals?) Couple of loans, I assume from embracing the institution. I don't get your universities. You aren't going to dev Moskva and Novgorod any further.

### Nepal
Yes Slaying, you can finally be A tier. The income is at 250, FL is at 256/268. It is up to date with admin tech. Lagging behind in diplo tech still but I assume that's because of the culture convertions (which is still way off though only at 4% right now yikes). Picked up eco as fourth, and offensive as fifth idea group (both 0/7). Decided not to kill Bahmanis and ally him instead and they are eyeing up the Mughals. Another session of playing Pokemon couldn't hurt though. Sure you have all the workshops, but you barely have any manus ([and god damn can you built good ones](https://gyazo.com/3915616c391509a2f5d2efb87952acd5)) no regimental camps and no barracks. "Only" 166k max manpower. Sucks that you have a 1/1/1 heir though, if you want I can just save edit him out and subtract 50 prestige from you no problem. Now like you care about prestige anyway you spend at least 120 to make your vassal loyal.

### Mughals
Oef this war set him back, a lot.
Sure he "only" lost 100% WC, but he lost 2 cots in the Persia node, almost all of his neighbors are hostile now (4/6). Maybe most importantly, he lost a full session of building up. He couldn't bankruptcy built because of Nepal and Bahmanis. Only now he finally regained his manpower and started paying off loans. Took offensive as 5th idea and is 5/7 in it, with the sixth idea being an extra 20% FL. His FL atm is 375/383. But with that idea, it would increase to 430. The biggest problem he has is that due to the lack of built-up the last session is manpower is lagging, he only has 220k Max, which is being France and Russia by a lot! Income also took a big hit to 230, 70 lower than at the start of the session. Needs to do some good Diplo to become the powerhouse it once was again. 

## B tier

### Rûm
Benji decided to quit :(. He cockblocked me out of Kongo and GBR out of ivory coast and I guess didn't want to take the deal I proposed afterward? Still, he's stronk. Income is at 210 with a FL of 275/270. Maxmanpower is 217k. I also picked up Offensive as the fifth idea group. Losing 1 mil a month because of the policies still being on but I guess that's an oversight. I wonder what the next player will want to do.

### Bahmanis
I expected him to die ngl. But did some good Diplo it seems and survived, gave a couple provinces to Nepal who then allied him. Finished quality which gave him a huge boost and instantly picked up quantity after that which he is 2/7 in now. So he has the manpower from quantity but still only has 140k max manpower. He still has 6k debt left from the last war since he couldn't go into bankruptcy then. Currently, he allied Napel and Russia, has Punjab as a vassal for the reconquest CB, 75% cost for all those provinces yikes. Interesting how he is still Shia, sure it gives a 15% morale boost but I would have expected him to swap Hindu for better rules and the disc. 

### Ruthenia
123 Income yikes maybe I would put it lower. 201/204 FL. Max manpower is good though at 281k. Decided to briefly become a junior Partner under Russia, so he could help in the war vs the Mughals without breaking the 1v1 narrative. It did fuck up his integration of Transylvania though just like with France and Florence. Still has a lot of uncored lands, and just for research progress lets take a look at how he would look with everything cored: Income would be at 134, FL 229 and max manpower at 301k. Not that big of a change tbh.

### Andalusia
191 Income, and 194k max manpower, 201/222 FL. Meaning still weaker then Rûm but caught up a lot. Should fix his estates, since I have a trade deal I should remove the burgers from a lot of provinces and assign nobility there. But for some reason, the Burghers don't like that, who knew? Fought against kilwa together with Gbr, got some nice money for it and future expansion. However, Rûm blocked me off from the Kongo. Tbh I should have a fun war with a bankruptcy built up.

## C tier
### Netherlands 
Do I put him B tier, or do I put him C tier? Well, when you are reading this you already know what I did obviously. His army is shit, no question about that. His income is (If we ignore the subsidies he has to give back for the trade deal) 150. The reason I'm in dubio though is; His naval morale is currently higher then Gbr. If he teams up with the Indonesians (they give him their heavies) they have a really good chance to beat Gbr. Ofc they are allied atm but its something. Keep in mind he already has higher and he can get 15% more (vs Gbr 10%) from religion, and potentially 10% more from his missions. Currently, he only has 15 heavies, this his current sailors he could build 140 more. (especially if he teams up with Aztecs). It would be interesting to see tbh.

### Malaya
Mr. Netherlands light (it even works because you know he's Indonesia. He asked me to not call him Great Britain light so I'm happy to oblige. Income is at 172, which isn't a big increase over the last session (cough cough don't collect in Nippon cough cough send your lights to protect in Hangzhou). Seriously though even if you don't send your ships, not collecting in Nippon still makes you more money because of the 10% trade power for each merchant if you only collect in your main trade node. You get 25% more trade power which means more monies. (15 more if you send your boats to Hangzhou, 4 more if you just stop collecting in Nippon). You could even privateer Beijing if you want just to annoy Peli, and you do have that 50% privateer efficiency policy.
But right; stats; 98 heavies, still need to upgrade 50 of them (including your flagship). You have the money to upgrade 21 right now. You should also release 2 subjects somewhere, just 2 OPM, so you can get the mission and more importantly the mission after that. The army is 64/98, so shit but still good enough to beat Japan together with Makassar in the last session.

### Yuan
Ended up letting the pretenders win which gave him a 6/4/5 and incorruptible, pretty poetic if you ask me. Income went up to 138, and he actually has some stuff cored. FL is at 88/118. Almost a decent nation. Still behind a bit of tech and ideas but no way as bad as it once was. His army was utter shit fighting Russia when he helped Mughals. One more quality idea will give him a sweet 10% disc boost though. Coring everything for him gives him an income of 155 and a FL of 145. Income is prob going to drop though, sorry Peli. I do expect Malaya to send his boats. 

## D tier
### Portugal 
But Krediax, his income is pretty good its at 166. Yes, he's making [69](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVFHkAzWAnc&t=10s) from gold but like before that doesn't add much to his FL, manpower, etc. Does means he can build up a lot and his dependency on the gold decreased this session, which is good. Not much more to say I think. Wholesome Purple hanging around.

### Sweden
Still a bitch boi? Yes. Still Gasputin? Yes. What a coincidence :eyes:. Income is better then I expected at 102. Since he made a deal with Gbr to fuck over Russia in exchange for monies. FL is at 91 and he actually made cannons. Why? I don't know. Guess he wants to do INDEPENDENT operations perhaps? Max's manpower is at 86k but he won't be increasing that by a lot since he has no building slots left for barracks. God Tier generals btw Jezus, 80 Professionalism as well which is about 200k manpower.

### Georgia
Once upon a time, there was an irrelevant nation. He looked at the start and made a wish. Now, little Georgia didn't know that Daddy Russia was listening. Being a single hardworking Father he loved his son Georgia. So he heard the with and did everything he could to help him. He gave him love, he gave him subsidies. But most importantly he gave him 100% WC vs the Mughals. This means Georiga's income rose to 99! Fl is shit at 73/78 but the R boys did their job. They ruined the Mughal's income. 87.2% defensiveness btw. Yikes.
### Japan
Well, shit. That sucks man. I guess you did learn your lesson though since you built fort now. Plus you are part of the Tokyo - Paris Axis of Cuddles. Still, I see those British heavies in Korea; das Krieg is nicht verloren! I'm hyped for round 2.
Income right now is at 59 and a FL of 60/61 (10 cav???) go to 1 stab so you can some sweet prosperity. 

### Makassar
50 upgraded heavies, naval and maritime (4/7). Not bad. Really needs quality though for the extra morale. Income went up to 88, Naval FL is at 162. Also, you shouldn't collect in Nippon and send your boats to Hangzhou, Just get Malacca to give you subs to compensate. Actually, you still make money because you aren't collecting in Nippon. With 8! merchants that's an extra 70% trade power (effectively around 50% more trade power). Similarly should go down the mission tree by improving with allies and releasing 2 subjects so you have 10% navy morale ready when it's needed.

## E tier
### Texas
94 income (ha found the income loser of the session 94.49 get ROUNDED DOWN BOI) 56/160 FL yikes. I don't know why this keeps surprising me every session. Aztecs rivaled you so you dead boi F sous. 4/2 leaders  because you really need those 2 admirals am i right. If you wanna piss off Gbr you could just send your lights to the ivory coast and send a merchant there.

### Kilwa
Damn sucks man, got attacked by Rûm, Andalusia and Great Britain. He had no change there since Mughals was a bit bussy. Income went down to 75, mostly because somebody (cough cough Great Britain cough cough) is taking 78% of the trade from there. Still, he's diplomatically isolated and everybody wants him dead. The army is 58/72 so pretty weak. Still behind on tech and the player left the nation.

### Livonian Order
Had a moment of insanity when he released Estonia and Livonia, Luckily the messengers were found on time and shot. So nobody ever knew. .41 workshop cough cough. The income is 50. FL is at 56/87. Its fort defense is at 55%!
### Brunei
55 Heavies, pretty good right? Well..... 45 of those still need to be upgraded. I guess he could upgrade 9 of them right now if he takes money from the burgers. The income is 44. Like are you even trying? Sure you lost some land to Great Britain but not that much. Just some in Africa IIRC. You can make a state, you have all the provinces all 3/3. It's a whopping 9 dev you should do that. Cmon Feliz at least built the .26 workshops that are EZ money.

### Thirteen colonies
Brrrrkkkk? Brrrrkkkk Brkkk Brrrrrrrrrrk Brrrkkk. Bbbbbrrrrrrraaaaakkk Brrrkkkkk Brrrrrrraaaaaakkkkkkk Brrrrrrkkkkk Brrkk. Brk Brk; Brrrrrrkkk Brrrrkkkkkk. Brrrrkkkkkk Bbbbbrrrrrrkkkkk Brrrrkkkkkk. Brrrrkkkk Brrrkkkkkk.
(Translation: Why no advisors? you have 58 income and 30 profit just hire an advisor. FL is at 39, pretty low. He also has gallies for some reason. Anyway; nice forts no reason to have them all mothballed though. A mothballed fort is a free fort for whoever invades you. Change your Aspects of faith smh.)
