How did Finland manage to fuck this up?
>>18101938Every border north of Alps besides Gaul is a fanfic btw
>>18101938Chudes always lose
>>18101938Right? We all play famous Paradox Paint simulators. You just select the Fill In function, pick the light blue color and you win the game! Dumb, dumb people not understanding the basics of the Painting game.It's a massive span of absolute nothing. Shit land with a single tribe of 12 people with no farmable land or civilisation for kilometers going in every direction.Might as well ask why Berbers didn't conquer all of Rome despite them "owning" the splotch over the entire fucking Sahara as no one else even bothered living in that hellscape.But on a Retardox map like this, it's massive so it must be uber powerful. Oh Saharia. The forgotten third contestant of the Finno-Korean Hyperwar. Also the origin of all black people and of Wewuzism, their state religion.
>>18101938They depleted their forces in the hyperwar and couldn't quite recover in timeone day though
>>18101938Kalevala shall rise again!
>>18101938They were never unified. They were all their own tribes as it says in the map, and so they were essentially their own countries. People on one end couldn’t understand the people on another end, there was also like a grand total of 3 people here. A lot of them got pushed out or assimilated by Slavic expansion. Similar thing happened to the Balts. This is why Russians in some particular areas look more like your average Balt or Finn than they do a Pole.

>>18102715>ChudesAlways makes me laugh
>>18102814Kek same, especially because it’s sometimes spelled “Chuds”
>>18102667That's why Victoria 2 was Paradox's best game, as desert land was completely useless, because it was about population. Plus you could literally permanently fuck a country simply by killing its armies and occupying its land.
they did not adopt grain agriculture early enough
>>18102898Would that even be possible in half of that land prior to the warming period?
>>18101938They've been in a constant decline since they lost the Finno-Korean Hyperwar.
>>18102715>>18102814>>18102852>you will never be the king of the chuds

>>18101938Why is this AI?
They inhabit some of the worst most lowly dense lands in Europe without any cultural traits that made them unique or mighty. Highly inbred populations that took lands no one else wanted. Their most successful descendants were assimilated Norse or Slavic caste warriors
>>18102706This isn't full story. There was pretty strong and unified cultural areas inside Finno-Ugria. Dyakovo, Gorodets, Pyanobor. Not to mention earlier Ananyino.
>>18102852There is a small Zavolochye Chud enclave in the north as well lmao.
Kyiv's name in Old Norse means City of Kvens. Askold and Dir were propably Chudes.
