EUIV Multiplayer VIII Common Sense

[Ciciro]

I would suggest that no one goes further east than I am because I am deliberately setting myself up to be a barrier to eastern expansion, with the intention of containing the world and making it more interesting (cough Gothia cough MotN). Of course you're welcome to but I'll probably try to annex you as soon as is humanly possible.

Are you suggesting or "suggesting"?

[High Chunker Greens]

"Suggesting".

[Ciciro]

"Suggesting".

Fine fine, I won't be 30. I'll just be 29.

[Ynen]

I will probably pick 13 or 15 if it stays this way. Someone has to hold pat back, but honestly I would rather not play in the exact same place again as last game. Come on people, that area is great! You can build a great empire there!

[Pat89]

Hold me back? Only Musty has more neighbours than I do if you pick 13... As for 13, I'm exactly on the border of 10, 11 and 13. So that includes a bit of the south west of 13.

If you don't want to play in the same spot as last time, 9, 14 and 15 are direct counters to me as well.

[abbews]

On the phone but would prefer to be in central europe.

Eh, fine. I'll pick 13.

[Pat89]

I don't think anyone was really opposed to you being in Egypt I don't think?

But if you want to move, then you guys got the whole freaking map. Northern Germany is totally empty, do you both (ciciro and ynen) really have to pick a spot directly next to me? As I said I'll be on the border of 10, 11 and 13. With a couple of regions in each of them (aka switzerland-ish), please just spread out a little.

This - also, have we decided on points? 300 again?

Updated.

[High Chunker Greens]

Musty is finally surrounded by other players! Huzzah! I am genuinely happy about this, but a bit sad I won't be here for the whole game now.

[apple]

6, 7, 9

[Nelon]

6, 7, 9

Piss off, Western Europe is full.

Seriously, though - if you want 6 as first choice, you'll have to roll with Poach. Most likely day of.

[Lord Romanus III]

Western for anyone that pays for it.

That really makes the game way too easy to cheese. There's basically no reason to take any other techgroup than western then. It starts at 0 for most of those regions....

Also, good to have you back again, that should liven things up a bit on the pvp front .o/

Thanks! I mean, I don't know what you mean.... I'm going to play nice with the other kiddies in the sandbox, I swear!

[Ynen]

Updated the map in the OP.
We have one conflicting pick in area 6 between poach and apple.

I've also added my name to 2 regions. If no one picks something around 25-ish I will probably hop over there, but otherwise I will chill in area 9 making lots of money.

[Ynen]

I did a little test run and for some reason if I generate a random map all provincial trade modifiers are gone (CoT, estuary etc), yet you still get charged for them when building your nation.

Also, I am still undecided on the 300 vs. 400 point thing Pat suggested. I was pretty satisfied with 300, but I have no idea if pvp wars would occur sooner if everyone was stronger...
