[MP] Europa Universalis IV: Jaron Arising

[Fireblade]

Oh, and I am willing to take a Russian power if needed.

Really? I figured you'd take one of your "people." Sibir Khanate or something.

Okay, so we're playing at noon eastern tomorrow, which I guess is 5pm GMT. I don't know, you fuckers can convert it into whatever barbarian timezone you use. I haven't tried doing MP yet, but from what I understand we can make a public server so we'll see what happens. Server opens about 15 minutes before start time, begins a few minutes later, and whatever happens, happens.

Good luck. I can't force myself to be up for game at 8am on a Sunday.

[Fireblade]

So I just tested MP by hotjoining a game in progress. Aside from fighting the most fucking ridiculous coalition of all time (and winning), another player OOSing 15 minutes later, and the CTD 30 minutes in, it worked pretty well.

I'd be around but I think I'm going to the beach and then on vacation the next week and then labor day!

Also, how does that two player one nation work?

[Tamas]

Yeah let's start today, it's not like  we need an England or Spain/Muscovy. 

But seriously today is not good for sure, not before 1PM Eastern

[Fireblade]

Okay I tried MP again and 2 players OOSed within 5 minutes. Including me. 

Game delayed until a patch comes out.

I would be good with anything but austria HRE gives me a headache    I would prefer Otto Or maybe even Russia

[sbr]

HRE is a fucking disaster.  I played 2 games as Austria, both for ~100 years, and if I wanted to fulfill my obligations I would have been at war non-stop.

Yeah.  There aren't many calls due to external invasions, but plenty of "Principality A annexed Principality B" casus bellis.  They get annexed faster than you can get them released.  In EU3, expanding your nation by force from within the empire was a very slow and pain-staking process.  Now you have to blob, or you get to be a part of someone else's blob.  The HRE mechanic does not serve the main purpose of real life HRE:  keeping Germany an utter clusterfuck.

It's to easy to get a CB and the fucking OPMs watche each other's MP like hawks striking simply because they are weak. Vicious little bastards.
