EUIV Multiplayer VI

[Musthavename]

Is that some kind of joke? Wasn't there an argument that Musty's Byzantium wasn't involved enough in pvp, because it was spreading East? Where do you think the Mamluks will go? Africa and into the East. To make matters worse, if the OE falls you will probably be left with a mega Mamluks - as large as the former Byzantium.

Byzantium? Wow, that's old school. Oh, and I declared player wars in that one...

Don't really mind Mamluks. If you want a counter-balance in that region I'd think Ethiopia would be cooler personally, but whatever. But heck, I can also fill the gaps in Russia or Scandinavia. I'm really not that bothered.

[Border Patrol]

If you're Scandi you have to play Norway. Them's the rules.

[Petrucci]

I am against Portugal if we have Spain and Lithuania or TO if we have POland. About Poach Scotland, i dont recommand it but if he really wants to play them ok. Northern Germany and Scandinavia is empty, we could use 1 player there. And Austria/Bohemia would be nice but its not must have. We already have a lot of players there , 2 italians, poland, turks and burgundy. IMO empty Scandinavia/northern germany is bigger issue. Is Muscovy picked?

[Poach]

I was well aware that when the "no western tech" nations rule was dropped we'd get people rushing east so they have unrestricted expansion room and an easy way to feasibly disengage with the rest of the players until mid/late game when they can wade in as a superpower having spent the bulk of the game stomping hapless AI nations unhindered, but most people voted to allow that.

[Border Patrol]

Eastern tech is just as important to the game as western, there just happen to be less of them available.

[Petrucci]

You may want to edit Mark's pick as Timmy in first place.

[IZob]

Good thing IZob's not in charge, then.

Pfft Venice is pretty easy to deal with imo. More so for Austria than OE.

Byzantium? Wow, that's old school. Oh, and I declared player wars in that one...

Ha my mistake, I thought the purple blob was Byzantium. Now I remember it's Malta http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1#post14289069

[Border Patrol]

Am I right in thinking we have nobody in the HRE? We should probably fix that.

[Petrucci]

We have Suisse.

[Keelos Penguinos]

We have Suisse.

Im playing as Tuscany now not Switzerland which is still HRE, but I might be too far south to do anything to compete against Burgundy if thats the problem.
Do we not have an Austria anymore or something?

[Ynen]

So theres no competition from Burgundy to Livonia? ITS TIME FOR PRUGUNDY!

[High Chunker Greens]

So theres no competition from Burgundy to Livonia? ITS TIME FOR PRUGUNDY!

It is always time for Prugundy.

[Petrucci]

Musty will probably be asked to preform as Österreich.

[Poach]

I actually change my vote and no longer care who plays what. I'd like if people picked balanced choices and not ferret themselves away in a corner to blob up in safety, but there's little point fighting majority opinion.

[Petrucci]

Well we are working on balance. Looks like Mark is playing Austria and Musty Mamluks. Which is shame because Musty will once again face little competition and will be at the best initial position to colonize.

[Border Patrol]

When did Mark say he wasn't going to play the Timurids?

[Ynen]

I wouldn't mind joining this game if there's still room? I probably won't be able to make the first session though, so I'm happy to take whoever's still in an alright position after that really.

That's fine. Hope to see you around next session then.

New choices; Austria, Muscovy, Sweden

Here Mark says he will be Austria

[Border Patrol]

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

Ahem

[Ciciro]

What countries are still open?

[Keelos Penguinos]

All of them apart from the ones claimed in the opening post.

Also my first choice is Tuscany now Poach if you find the time to change it
