Netherlands isn't exactly first now is it?
Trust hardly matters when the others around you fear you. That's how I prefer to look at things.
So, because he can't absolutely cripple an opponent, the risk isn't worth it? I understand that a philosophy like that won't result in you ever dying, but it certainly is unlikely to get you first place.
My playstyle has been passive for most of the game mainly because of my central position. Rest assured, next game will see more violence from my side.

With fighting talk like this I'm looking forward to next game already. When does Rickie's schedule dictate the new game start? A bloodthirsty Rickie, Ynen, Pat, Abbs and me (plus everyone else who has decided to actually fight next game) will make life more interesting and return us to the ways of old, where Europe-wide wars happened every second session at least.
You shouldn't forget this is still the test game and we all didn't know for sure how strong we would all be exactly.

One thing is for sure, Im not going to play an Asian nation next time. Something in or close to Europe. Not a major either, Sweden or something. Fighting IZob was the most fun part of this campaign. For the rest, especially the first few sessions were just like single player...
I want to be a continental major next game. Last time I was France, the Austria player wasn't skilled so I ended up winning the game after 100 years, which isn't fun
I'm also in next game...
...I'll still likely be as passive as ever though.
Give a man a fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of the day.
Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
I'm actually thinking of switching to a trade power like Venice next game. Asia, it really is just like single player.

No one consider Africa? Ethiopia or something supra-saharian?
Did you know that in previous version +combat ability ideas and discipline(only when defending) didn't work as intended. That mean Poland would have been much stronger.
And btw is anyone considering to play with Poland, Lithuania ,Hungary or maybe even Serbia? First three have just awesome UNI, and start very big and strong. Especially Lithuania, who doesn't have to fear of any revolts (inital +4 tollerance of heretics and -2 national revolt risk!) and nice +5 tech and Hungary with overall idea equal as France,but with a lot more place to expand. 4th is bigger challenge ,but have interesting military UNI.

To advance my agressive ambitions I will probably play the Ottomans. But have no fear, dear comrades, I will misuse them just as much as I did with Austria!

If my internet gets fixed (HAHAHAH NOT LIKELY) then I'll be going European. Preferably Germany, I haven't had a crack at that in a long time.
Next time i want to play as Russia, maybe get 1866 borders.
It has been decided. I am going to be Sicily.
But Sicily is Aragon.
