R we really supposed to discuss this game daily, when it's over a year before it's out?

No, you don't have to discuss anything.

Finally, the map looks like Medival 2 Total War.
It took quite a few years.

Notice the trade routes with the little ships.
Still no roads though, still behind Medieval 2.

QuoteThe Ottoman Empire was the dominating power of the game's time span. Most of Europe's foreign politics were focussed in driving them back or avoiding wars with them. All main trade routes were in their hands and they were technologically ahead of Europe (or for gameplay reasons at least on same level).

:lol:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

An obvious improvement over Byzanteens and Balkantards.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Pfft. If this goes on I'll have to found the Muscovytard club, just to piss off the Martinustards.

Once she held the east in fee, and was the safeguard of the west...

I'll stop.

I think the post is over the top, but it'd nice to see the Ottomans end up as a terrifying force which threaten Vienna, raid the Mediterranean coast, etc.

Anyone want to start up a game of Europa for  old times sake? My dad and I have been playing on and off and having a lot of fun. We could do an advanced start date to make things more interesting.

I might be up for it depending on playing time.

They've changed so much in EU3 with all the add ons, I don't know what's what anymore. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Best way to learn and to prepare for IV is by playing :) I am up to A Saturday/Sunday game for Euro people or a Weeknight game. I have a fairly open schedule right now.

Might they be the same people?  The Ottomans were in the Balkans.

Byzanteens, Balkantards, and Ottomantards are usually at each others' throats.

It seems like everything related to Balkans is suffering from Balkanization.  :(
