ok :>

ok :>

If Portugal doesnt suit you you can pick other less-important nation, but make sure to at least check it out in sp - it isnt fun watching your nation crymble in slow motion that is multiplayer. The point is nobody will give you France, its too important to destroy.

I will play around with a few of the minor nations.

lucky nations on.

definite no. lucky nations balances the blatant OPness of the player in SP. in MP it's just a plain advantage that translates to frustrating levels of imbalance as the game progresses. it hugely favors blobbing.
also, ledger needs to be off.

 

[Krash]

I wouldn't mind playing France, but Poland or Sweden would be fun as well.


I hope everyone's learnt their lesson about letting other players blob unhindered.


Also, I'd suggest a predetermined end date (1600, 1650?)

Quite on the contrary in this setup lucky nations will serve as a way of stopping fringe eastern nations from conquering their way up to India and China. Because we have a block of lucky Russia/Ottomans on the way.

Any arguments? The only situation where I can see lucky nations favoring some players is when a lucky nation is in PU/a vassal of a player. I am not sure if that is possible for a nation that is not independent to be lucky but in this setup its likely that Lithuania and Hungary could be lucky and in PU. Other than that lucky nation = stronger nation = harder to conquer.

And both Ottomans and Russia are hard to ally for any potential player nation due to their position and religion. We could perhaps add a "no alliances with lucky nations" rule to the game to make sure.

[Wilian]

"They're", you talking as if you owned the pair yet you have no claim!

I strongly suggest not to pick a nation that was historically incorporated in another and borders two of the starting great powers if you are a new player. But you can pick anything there are no reservations right now really.

Myeah, probably a poor choice. I was sort on banking France alliance to pull it through but it was mostly day-dreaming <.<
