Languish Universalis - Game thread

[Tamas]

One of my major concerns with the whole deal, in fact, was my concern that I get dragged in, and Solmyr realizes this is as good a chance he gets to  cut me down a bit.

[Berkut]

SO is the basic crux of this that Slargos expects everyone to match off in pseudo-even little contests, so the fights will be however he defines "fair"?

I mean....MP games don't work that way - at least not with competent players.

[Solmyr]

80% of my troops at that point were in Asia, he had a 2-1 manpower and troop advantage and I had just come out of a major war. It wasn't even a fight.

Solmyr can attest to the fact that I wanted a heads up fight with him last session, and I made it clear that if anyone else joined in I would immediately break off.

I don't enjoy gang rape games, it's that simple.

I can attest to that, which is exactly why I hurried into an alliance with Spain. You seem to labor under the impression that in EU3 games everyone must fight one on one and totally fairly. That's not how it worked historically or otherwise. There was absolutely no use for me to enter into a prolonged war against you that I would likely eventually lose due to your leader advantage.

I think this is the first time I've ever seen France, Austria, Italy and Spain allied for a single purpose.

Pff, it happened in Languish Universalis III, againt poor little Holland 

I remember that well.

I vaguely recall that one. Super Hans was fun though, the world united and then was crushed.

I wish we had posted the AARs and game thread archive on a more reliable site

Well, at least now that this has fallen apart, Habs can get back to doing what is important - losing France to the triumphant armies of the Western Allies.

You're up! And it seems like your erstwhile partner is kind of listening...

"Kind of" is certainly apt.  Apparently, it's sound strategy to place a 25/7 max/minimum range artillery unit just close enough to be useless, but not far enough so that it won't be swept up by the British advance.

See you in Caen!

What is this Normandy game of which you speak?

When it comes to Languish multiplayer games, it certainly pays to vet your opponents beforehand.

The GMT Battle for Normandy.

I dunno, there is some real value in watching a grown man emo-ragequit over a game. If you are too careful in who you play with, you just don't get that kind of quality amusement.

It's entertaining for us because we didn't put the hours into the game that they did.  I will admit I'm mightily entertained though.

Well yes, that is true.

I thank you all, especially Slargos, for investing so much time in our amusement, even if it was entirely unintentional.

Eh, I am bummed if we can't find a permanent OE as I'd like to see how I can fare with a Milan/Italy as a Colonial power (if I was lucky enough).

But if not we've already discussed interest in another MP from the group sans Slargy.

[Alcibiades]

We will be continuing, find a sub.

Liep said he will play this Sun, but no idea if wants/interested in continuing past that.

[grumbler]

Hope you guys can continue playing until at least one more player ragequits (I'm thinking katmai by preference).  I'd step in an help you out, except my EU3 installation has never worked (in fact, it bluescreens me, which i didn't think was even possible any more) and so i have never been able to play even solitaire.

I've enjoyed all the posts.  Even the "I am so being diplomatic, you fucking douche bag!" ones.
