I think you should be wary of spreading the players too far afield.  If the distance is too great, you'll likely run into EU3's problem of unchecked expansion at the expense of the AI.  Those on the fringes will benefit immensely, while those hemmed in will have nothing to do but attack other players.  Better to have everyone locked in the same, general neighborhood (say, 2-3 kingdoms--England/France/Scotland is a good split, I'd say) so they all are forced to fuck with one-another somehow. 

MP should be about player interaction, not to see who can play SP the best.

How about playing Orthodox Rus of Kiev and annihilate each other through the Rota system?  Fun times. :hug:

If they are disbanded inside your territory, yes they do. If not only a fraction will make it to their land.

Yet, it still takes a while for reinforcements to arrive.

If someone is besieging the county your levies come from, you get a message saying that "due to enemy presence in your lands, some men don't make it home".

Didn't look at how many people you lose, because I just buttfucked that shitty little Muslim sheikh with my OP mercs.

Playing as Russians would be entertaining, too.. :)

Tried Scotland. Hooked huge head up with a lustful Norwegian bitch and she was a babycannon. Dunkelds kept wanting to kill each other. A duke got excommunicated, tossed him in gaol and banished him. THANK YOU FOR MORAY bitch. King got excommunicated, little pussy count of Fife got mouthy. Until he met the Catlan company. Tossed him in a hole and banished his pissy ass. Free county for good half-brother. Sucked up to pope, sent him many little peasant boys and got un-excommunicated.

Got some prime Capet ass also. Duke of the Isles is a cunt.

So, the Catholic church really hasn't changed over the years
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

After seeing the 5th dumbfuck Catholic on my facebook friends list in a row complaining about how Obama is a dictator because of that birth control shit, I am THIS FUCKING CLOSE to making my status "Attention Papists: I'll start giving a shit about your backward ass views on everyone else's sexuality when you start giving a shit about your priests constantly butt fucking little boys. Until then, shut the FUCK up."

I think I'll play a quick game as Egypt just so I can shit all over Rome.

So, you can play as muslims this time around?

Is England strong enough to face France?

I imagine the problem is that England starts the game at war.

Are there other scenarios that come with the game?

I'm pretty sure you can start on any date.

OH man, are you guys really going to talk me into buying this on release?

That damn demo did it to me.

Indeed. :Embarrass:

I tried a quick game as England- your available forces are too few to beat the Vikings let alone the Normans.

I'm getting the demo.  CRAZY FAST DL OF 32KB/S.  What is this, 2002?  Well, if so, it means it might be a Paradox game that doesn't outrageously suck.

How did you do that? The demo only has 4 countries.

After you hit the Play button you can quickly choose and play any country.
