Europa Universalis 3

[Resistance]

I can probably get this game in a month or so.

Kayyy

 

Also that colonisation one took me forever, was it meant to? I had to wait 50 years for Bermuda to become a core province before I could even begin thinking about Cuba.

Yea that's working as designed. It stops people from say colonizing all of South America by 1500.

 

Who are you and what have you done with Dusty! :rolleyes:

What do you mean?

 

Brandenburg is a good choice.

 

 

 

 

Archi's playstyle

Seems very interventionist, and with an interest in keeping a balance of power (aside from your own country, of course :P )

[archimage_a]

Hehe, you can't win wars if your army is the same size as other peoples...as I learned fighting France, when they then mobilised after my narrow victory, and I got swamped...my poor professional army.

 

And I didn't think you had ever used the word 'excited' before.=P

[Nero]

Ah well, the times they are a' changin'!

 

I think I'll be Georgia for this game.

 

Second choice would be Hungary.

Milan

[Retech]

I'll be Naples, if I can figure out how to get a steam version of EU3:Complete, or a non-steam version of HTTT that will work with my EU3:Complete. :P

PM me your email retech.

 

Oh and you and Dungeonal are gonna be beating the crap out of each other non-stop for dominion over Italy hehehe

[Retech]

Actually, I will change to the great nation of Sicily!

 

 

Because once I ate pizza from a pizzaria called "Napoli's Pizzas" and got food poisoning.

[Nero]

Sicily can't form Italy btw.

[Retech]

But it says that it can. :)

[a_bert]

if only naples could form the Terran Federation.. :(

 

edit: er, milan

[Nero]

Neither Sicily nor the Papal States can unify Italy due to the culture requirement; Sicily's primary culture is Sicilian and the Papal State's is Umbrian.

[Retech]

Isn't that just in EU3 and Napolean's Ambition? Under "In Nomine", it says that it can form Italy.

[Nero]

I don' think it was ever changed. Maybe though.

 

You can just fire up a game and check the national decision bar for Sicily. If it's there you can...if not no.

[jasignhagj]

I'll take france.

 

What's new in the Heir to the throne?

[Retech]

Okay, I just discovered how screwed Sicily is in HTTT, from Dusty and my five minutes of experience. So I will be again, Naples. :P

[Nero]

I'll take france.

 

What's new in the Heir to the throne?

Missions, events, new casus belli, spheres of influence. Some other stuff I can't remember.

 

@Retech: :P

[jasignhagj]

After taking a glance at the expansion grand campaign, France appears to suck at the beginning. Is there a unification event where you get the small kingdoms, or do you have to capture them?

[Icuownage]

God dammit! Just played my first game and I.... Blargh.

 

Started off as Japan, pretty smooth sailing. First action is to become more narrowminded, for the colonisation benefits. Bam, people don't like that -1 stability. Northern island which has a different religion to me, has a mission to build a fort there. I do that, while also building up a few carracks for naval dominance. Notice little island nation to the south of me, decide to befriend instead of attack. Get to around 70 relation from a few gifts. Korea declares war on them, I try to gauruntee (hard spelling) independence, doesn't work, little friendly island nation is conquered, sad face. Anywho, mission got completed, navy starting to look pretty sweet now, name it the 'imperial fleet' and begin station it near a small island inbetween the southern and central Japanese islands. New mission to convert them to my religion, good freakin luck, 6% chance per year of converting. Anywho, begin befriending the nations where Vietnam are. Get into a ton of marriages (although I apparently only have one heir so wtf, pilagamy?). Start noticing trade, and become the highest in all three of my trade routes, so going okay I guess. Notice big chinese nation (the one that isn't Ming) has problems with their throne and has only one contender for the throne. My prestige is -1, so I can't do it. Oh yeah in this time of 10 years, I finally recieved my first colonist, which took FOREVER. Colonised further north, so all good. Anywho, throw a festival to gain prestige, get -5 prestige. Quit.

 

 

Also @Spork

 

France does NOT suck D:.

LOL.

 

Btw is that island Okinawa? It's Ryuku, so just declare war (colonial war), and conquer/annex it. They're pagan religion so you get only ~0.6 infamy from it haha.

 

Oh, and are you sure you want to play as Japan? You'll be completely removed from all the action until the 1700s or so.

 

 

@Trol: Almost all those tiny nations in France are your vassals from the start, so you can just diplomatically annex them.

[archimage_a]

Japan is good if you are playing a game against people like us though...With constant war we should remain rather weak, unless the balance of power fails, in which case Fortress Europe...

I should go Muscowy just to counter-balance you :P

[Retech]

If Dusty decides to counter-balance anyone, they're probaly screwed. Well, maybe not for the pros (don't know who those are).

 

Should we install 4.1 patch? It doesn't seem to be working for me.

[archimage_a]

I have a feeling that either, me and Dusty will be at each other's throats the whole game...or one will just kill the other in a pre-emptive strike of epic proportions.

[Nero]

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)
