Languish EUIV MP Game - Recruiting

[Viking]

So, who is interested in joining?

What time is suitable?

I'd suggest Saturday CET:18:00 = EST 12:00 = PST 09:00. Playing for 4 hours per session.

one week before the new major expansion?

Start organizing now, start playing with the expansion.

[Anatron]

I am interested.Are there any house rules?

The consensus was no house rules.

My money is on that everyone will need more time to figure out powergaming with the new New World mechanics, and this will fall into oblivion

I was hoping people would jump on the chance to start a game without knowing how it works... or at least realize that nobody is getting to the americas in session one except the eggplants.

This has no meaning because the best idea setups changes by every patch.The base of the game mechanics are known for everybody already.
I hope we will not use the random landmaking during the game.

No random maps. I was hoping to add the new world tribal mechanics and the colonial minors in addition to the new westernization mechanic.

[Tamas]

I am not playing anyways, but why no random maps? It is more historically correct to not know the map of the new world in advance.

Sounds good.What are the changes by westernization?

Random map making gameplay can be very unbalanced.

It is also historically correct not to know the maps of africa, asia and australia too. Plus with known maps players can reasonably plan to balance each other out predictably.

Why are you not playing?

Why are you not playing?

lack of sufficient interest in relation to time requirement.

Tom you just hate gaming for free. Right?

Anyway there are some interesting point in the new colonial system:

Colonial Nations (New World only) [Ref][Ref]
Colonial Nations can only ally with native states [Ref]
Colonial Nations cannot declare war on normal countries; if attacked by them, overlord called in [Ref]
(Colonial nations?) colonial growth "severely nerfed" [Ref]
Give 50% of their trade power to their overlord [Ref]
Playable [Ref]
New World divided into 'colonial regions'
Once country gains 5 provinces in a colonial region, those provinces in that region becomes a country of it's own; a dependency of yours (like a vassal or lesser PU state)
As new provinces colonised, they are added to the colonial nation
Have their own unique national ideas [Ref]
They can colonise on their own [Ref]
Can enact decisions to form countries like the USA/Brazil etc. [Ref]
Dynamic flag generation: [ half your flag + half colonial region's colour ] [Ref]
Dynamic country name generation: based on culture/nation/colonial region (see this post for potential colonial nation names)
Flag and name remains the same after independence, unless they form a country like the US. [Ref]
Colonial Government is roughly equivalent to Republic, with cultural/religion-speicifc ruler titles (e.g. Castilian governor = Viceroy) [Ref]
Can declare war & colonise - colonial wars will not automatically draw in their overlords;
Colonies cannot fight each other if they belong to the same overlord [Ref]
Liberty desire - tariff for how much money given to overlord; tariff increases liberty desire; can result in colonial independence war [Ref]
Colonial nations can spread beyond their colonial region [Ref]
Cannot be 'conquered' and integrated into your country proper. [Ref]
