EU3 - ready for play yet?

[Josquius]

I tried a game today playing as a HRE minor, I'd heard changes had been made to the HRE along with Japan in the last mod. Result:

Fucking pwned

UGH...! 

[Shade]

I could try Spain...

Fucking pwned

UGH...! 

There, there. It's not your fault Austria wasn't doing its job and keeping Hansa under control. Instead, it was too busy losing to Milan.

Ugh I learned so much about how to play and NOT to play ottoman's from that game... hell from that one encounter

[JonasSalk]

Honestly, if you'd planned it right and Geno wasn't a tardo, you guys would have fucked me hard.

[Solmyr]

I like how my Ottomans were set to inherit the Mamluks and nobody noticed.

[JonasSalk]

Yeah, that was pretty ridic.

[Solmyr]

Make sure you are paying attention to what CBs people are DOWing with.

[JonasSalk]

You mean seeing that the Ottomans are declaring war on the Mamlukes with a personal union CB is bad?

[Shade]

Ya but they can be the hardest ones to submit... so damn big usually

[JonasSalk]

Usually have to take them out in a few wars, yeah. Or maybe call for western assistance and have France grab Jerusalem.

[Solmyr]

I dunno, usually their armies fold after you get a couple of land tech levels as the Ottomans.

Yes but to make them submit you need to have a few wars to take them out slowly. I had them down to just their African provs (which unfortunately spread down most of the east coast) And I needed a war score of 140 to PU them... it was VERY annoying.

I just got done playing the first session of an MP game.  Everything seemed to go alright; there were some cascading alliances but human alliances were able to deal with those for the most part.  The horde mechanic is the biggest pain in the ass.  I am Novgorod and can't do much at all against the Golden Horde yet.  They have a much bigger army than me (I have seen 50+ regiments, and I only have 24).  They have swallowed most of Muscowy and Ryazan.  It is going to require a big multi-human effort to break them the first time, if that even.
