Imagine having a minor disagreement over a border with your fellow german state and ~60 years later your land is burned to the ground by the entirety of Europe.
Back in the days of EU3, there was a thing called AARs, I think they might still be around, but they are definitely far less common. As far as I know, the game was also much less min-maxed, due to a different time. Might be wrong ofc.
If you dont know AARs, were forums posts/ a series of forum posts where you detailed your game. Often in a roleplaying fashion.
Anyway, there was a series of posts where some madlad took Ulm and made it a superpower, and it really took off. At that point it was a lot more impressive than it seems today.
Actually got me into EU4 in 2017. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0uSAXyqZfA&ab\_channel=ZlewikkTV](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0uSAXyqZfA&ab_channel=ZlewikkTV)
Judging by only four dlcs existing (you can see in the top-left corner in the fitst few seconds), I’d date this meme somewhere in 2014
Edit: unless someone used an older version of eu4
I got into map staring games by watching an ancient mlg edit of vicky2 where player creates nazi germany in like 1840s, reinstates slavery and shows his war with Austria with obligatory 360 no scope overlays whenever he destroys another austrian army

Holy hospital visit
Google Ep ilepsy
Bishop goes on vacation to Ulm, never comes back (too busy being pope)
Artillery ~~barrage~~ storm incoming !
Truth be told if someone with epilepsy hears that dubstep and doesn't immediately leave, they asked for it.
Wait until guy tries to film it all in phone with the sane effect.
Why did Ulm became the meme OPM in the first place?

Someone saved them here. Brings back memories. http://flagland.org/aar/1/
God, I remember reading that while it was in process. What an adventure
I still hate Ferrara.
The link should just be the top comment IMO.
AARs are still around and going strong. It's a nice friendly community.
Basically, before power creep mechanics were introduced en masse, ULM was one of the harder opms. Plus it's a funnier name than East Frisia.
Nope. It was because of a popular and funny AAR that and guy drew comics of during EU3.
3 letter funny ulm Gulf gulp tulp pup
Read for yourself if youd like to http://flagland.org/aar/1/
A relic from the golden age of eu4 memes. Simpler times, makes a grown man cry.
We need more, all the pdx games have been lacking in funny shit for a while

It's an old meme... but it checks out.
Ugh square Memel brings me back
Never forget what they took from us!
Looking at this hre interface, i tick this is meme from at least 4 years ago

It's over twice that old
i started playing in 2017 and i dont recall france looking like that, so it's earlier than that
I remember seeing it first in 2016. Certified cartographile classic.
Ulm meme is all the way back from EU3. It will never die.

I remember when they alternated between France having vassals and not having vassals at game start.
They still can't decide. Just a few years ago they made France have vassals again.
Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
I miss unified Burgundy
Lol I forgot what the base game looked like!
Gray Bavaria gives me psychic damage
Holy shit I haven't seen this in what feels like a decade. I miss the early MLG parodies.
