Because Hope Springs Eternal: Languish EU3 MP thread

[Tamas]

But aren't the new HRE rules one of the main points of the expansion? Can countries not in the HRE see how much authority the Emperor has and what reforms he's passed?

Yes, everyone can see that in the HRE window.

I am with Habbaku: lets do a great power game, 1399 or 1492.


lol can I be: Ottoman Empire?

You should be, ya dirty Turk.

Starting electors are pretty unimportant, since any state in the HRE can become an elector (I'm not sure of the exact requirements, but probably taking out the existing electors is one).

I can go for great powers though. How would we handle Spain though? One player chooses to play either Castile or Aragon, or can there be multiple players? In any case I'd be interested in either England or Muscovy/Russia.

[Tamas]

It has been established that Castille and Aragon is a bad idea, so Castille it is.

I've been playing Castille all night just to get back into EU practice, seems like fun.

[Kleves]

Should we pick countries, or assign them randomly?

[Alcibiades]

I think randomly would be best.

[Habbaku]

I'm not particularly averse to picking them, but random is fine too.

[Tamas]

If a newb gets Muscovy randomly he will be so screwed it won't be funny. 

[Kleves]

Ok, so we have:

Kleves
Habbaku
Tamas
Alcibiades
Slargos
FunkMonk
Solmyr
Pat

Does that look right to you guys? We actually have 8 players, then, because I forgot to count myself the first time. 

If we're going majors, that would probably mean:

France
England
Castile
Poland
Austria
Ottoman Empire
Muscovy/Novgorod
Portugal

Did I miss someone? Does that look like the correct roster? If so, we can start choosing/assigning countries. I think I would slightly prefer random countries, but either way is fine with me.

[FunkMonk]

Random suits me. I won't be able to make this Sunday BTW.

[Alcibiades]

Yeah, Neither will I, should be the Sunday after this one.

[Kleves]

If we run anything this coming Sunday, it will be only a test game.

[Kleves]

Alright, I'm rolling it randomly.

Here's the order in which I'm rolling:
1. Kleves
2. Habbaku
3. Tamas
4. Alcibiades
5. Slargos
6. FunkMonk
7. Solmyr
8. Pat

Here are the countries I'm rolling:
1. France
2. England
3. Castile
4. Poland
5. Austria
6. Ottoman Empire
7. Muscovy/Novgorod
8. Portugal

I forgot my ACTS login, so I'll be rolling it manually. If you doubt that I did it honestly, I can switch countries with you.

Here we go:
Kleves - 2 - England
Habs - 3 - Castile
*switching to 6-sided die; countries will shift up to fill vacancies, so we have 1-6*
Tamas - 1 - France
*switching to 10-sided die; each country will fill two numbers slots - ie 1-2, 3-4, etc.*
Alci - 7 - Moscovy/Novgorod
*switching back to 8-sided, same system*
Slargos - 5 - Ottoman Empire
*switching back to 6-sided*
FunkMonk - 6- Portugal
Solymr - 6 - Austria
Pat - Poland

How does that look?
