EUIV Multiplayer VI

[Petrucci]

he is

[Musthavename]

He's played them so much he's effectively banned from them. I swear he's played them in >50% of the games we played.

Also, I'm happy to take Austria or Muscowy if it's needed for gamebalance. Though if someone else wants them, be my guest.

[Ynen]

Bah you guys are just scared! Ottomans are perfect for defeating the manpower mechanic
Moscovy is also fine with me tbh. I'm just not doing central Europe again without some kind of plan to escape from there...

My eye sees a free Burgundy though, so I will play that unless someplace else has to be filled.

So my main pick will be Burgundy, and the other 2 picks I will leave open as balance is required.

Genoa, Aragon, Tuscany

[Border Patrol]

So there's now a 50/50 chance I'm stuck in Italy with two other players. D:

Just kidding I learned how to read today.

I vote we do not implement western tech only

[Cryers-]

1. Privateers only when at war. - Yes, only during war.
2. Western tech nations only. (? - 3 to 2 in favour of dropping this rule, 5 not voted) - No.

[Nelon]

New choices; Austria, Muscovy, Sweden

[Keelos Penguinos]

Austria is currently first choice of Cryers. Are you sure those are your picks?

Cryers says he picked Ottos earlier in the thread.

[Petrucci]

If we have ottomans I would like someone who is not Musty as Timurids, QQ or Mamluks or Maghrebi state.

[Border Patrol]

Ottomans blob in our games because we never have a Mamluks. Fact.

[Poach]

Well, most are voting to drop Western only. Greens has some weird response that I assumed meant yes because he said "western techs only", then said various non-Western tech nations are allowed, which I assumed was a typo.

Consider it an "I told you so" in advance when we have a superpower Ottomans, because no one ever plays the Mamluks or Timurids. This is why letting players have powerful countries on the eastern edge of Europe is a stupid idea...

[Musthavename]

As I've said, I'm not too bothered who I play this game and can fill gaps.

[Nelon]

I'm up for playing Timmy instead of Austria, Europe is crowded as is.

[Poach]

France, Austria, England, Poland and Burgundy as majors. Moving one of Poland or Burgundy to Castille would be a good balancing move, losing Austria wouldn't be.

[Petrucci]

Or swapping France with Spain? Timmy is good pick it will prevent Kebab from blobbing too much, Russia too and it have enough internal to represent challenging game.

[Poach]

Yeah, France could work too, since Burgundy would just fill the space. Having someone swap off Austria to balance the Ottomans is a poor idea though, because it leaves the HRE wide open to Burgundy with no one to compete against.
