2-3 minute pause at game start so everyone can get everything sorted out, then we play on Speed 3 unless someone gets in a war and wants it slowed down, in which case we would be playing Speed 2. Ally with someone who can help you with Poland-Lithuania, either Bohemia or Muscowy. Try and trap enemy armies on Osel with your massive galley spam navy TO starts with. Other than that, you'll be fighting enemies with a lot more manpower/men, so scorched earth and attrition damage will be a god send. Non-existant. Iceland got its independence after WW2. In this game its owned by Norway at the start.

Just vassalize SE Asia, Korea, and Manchu and you should be alright. Let Ming beat up your tiny vassals while you take over the lands near its capital. If a giant deathstack comes after you, run away, load your troops back on their ships, and sail them somewhere else to attack. Keep that up for around 5 or 6 years and Ming's war exhaustion will skyrocket, revolts will spring up like weeds, and Ming will soon enough collapse into the inveitable Ming/Wu/Xu trifecta.

Very hard just gives bonuses to the AI, which when you consider that we'll probably be partiotioning the AI nations between us throughout the game, it's not really going to make a difference.

I'll make building a gargantuan navy #1 priority then :D

Lol. I will pummel Naples to the ground. Must...make...glorious...Italian...REPUBLIC!

England/Great Britain gets constant missions to annex Ireland. Lol. Anyways, crusades can only be called by qhoever controls the Pope, is Catholic, and it isn't anytime after 1650.

You need to run it from a different folder than the steam folder and launch it through the exe there rather than launching from steam.

I'm practising :oops:

LOL Yea Ming is generally not allowed to be picked in MP games.

:D Ok, I'm switching to Milan then (last country swap I promise! :P Milan was actually what I had intended to play as but I never claimed it in the OP) Yay! Oh, and I was playing a test game as Sweden earlier today and I checked in on the British Isles and apparently Wales had conquered and annexed all of England. And Ireland had formed in like 1410. Lmao.

Go for it. You can also form Spain as Portugal btw.

Lol kk

Did you ask in the paradox tech support forum? http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?354-EU3-Tech-Support

If you have EU3 Complete (retail version), any digital distribution (except steam) game should be compatible. Anyways, check your Direct2Drive account or email, I think I got HTTT from D2D for you, can't remember though. edit: yea I did [hide][/hide] Game starts this weekend coming up. @Trol: Don't worry, he won't be able to get those missions after he forms Great Britain. And anyways, France vs England on French soil is easy peasy warfare. You'll be able to build and support like 2x his army from the get go.

Lol.

Yea but he'll have to westernize 3 steps to get to our technology group.

There are some small islands other nations owned that I never coloured out (maldives for example). I'm just lazy. --- Anyways I'm not picking Sweden to go against you Arch, I just felt having a country so far removed from all you guys was a bit unfair since I would have no real opposition to expansion. Plus Sweden starts under a personal union with Denmark.

Anyways, here's the map of player countries (I've changed from Georgia to Sweden): [hide][/hide]

Lol. You guys can test it out if you'd like, just saying that I can't atm. Well then we just go with the one with the most votes.

You pick every day that you can play. I don't have a computer that can play it atm, it arrives around Feb 5th.

Well it's like all Paradox games in that they all have a certain core style or gameplay to them, and once you get that everything else just sort of falls into place.

New poll question

Impossible for the non-steam version to get the steam checksum, but not the other way around.

4.1b

Well I'm Georgia so it'll take me a while to crawl all the way over there to kick your rear end in. @tech: Yea install all the official patches (not the beta patches tho)
