Not unless we run it at extremely fast with no pauses

Do we try to play weekly, or should we figure it out as we go?

I'm gone the weekends of the 14th & 28th anyway, so weekly isn't so good for me... I have a lot of time during the week so I'd rather play more frequently...

I would try weekly, but I can't play on Mon-Wed, 4 test in 3 days....

[General Ludd]

If theres enough itrest in the game, you might want to consider having back up players who'll play in someone's stead if they are unable to attend that week.



I don't have the time to devote to another multiplayer game this month, otherwise I'd be in aswell.

Yes playing a far away country with no fog of war is similar to being observator. Although I can it can increase lag and instability, don't know how much of a problem that is.

Oh, there may be a way to observe. Play as Zimbabwe and use the cheat codes to remove the fog of war and the terra incognita. I don't know if the cheats work under MP though.

Nope, cheats don't work in MP.

Che, what country do you want?

Hmmmm, Byzantium's no fun without events, France and England should be left to noobs, GWB doesn't interest me . . .

guess I'll take, the Ottomans! Wow, there's a surprise.

What settings do we want? Furious - cowardly, easy - very hard, save yearly? etc.

There is a way!

Load the savegame in SP, F12->columbus montezuma, save, send the save to the host, he hosts and tada.

So Eli can watch a game as Zimbabwe . . . or the Lakota. He just has to make sure he doesn't lose his capital.

Not quite that simply. You also have to open up the savegame and remove the player name from the nation used when saving in SP.

I suppose that I'll take the Habsburgs.

And I'm another MP-virgin.

I'd suggest normal aggression, very hard difficulty, annual autosave, and 2:1 speed outside of wars which can be played at 1:1 or 1:2. Pausing ok, so long as not abused - I know I'll have to pause a few times right away as Friesland has a war at the beginning of the game

[aeturneus]

Current List:

Ixnay - Muscowy
aeturneus - Friesland
123John321 - Venice
Oerdin - Sweden
Che - Ottoman Empire
Ramo - Austria

Great! 6 Players!

Traditional majors can still be played by AI, just means that they are not likely to achieve their historical strength

This means you, Portugal, Spain, France and England...

The game will probably center around Eastern/Central Europe, which is not a bad thing imho.

Venice may have to turn west to Italy rather than the city of man's desire.

Sweden would have a clear opportunity to pursue a colonial strategy with AI majors.

Muscovy will face Austria, Sweden, and the OE at its expansive borders.

the OE has to deal with assumedly powerful Austria and Venice...

and lowly Friesland will cling to the fringes of the Austrian empire

[chequita guevara]

Who wants to host? Oerdin? You seem to have done this before.

Hey, would did you know my plans? This will be my 1st time playing Eu2 MP, should be fun , now, lets hope this cold doesn't keep me in bed till 8am+

I can't host since my router has a built in fire wall. Also I'm debating moving to France but I'm afraid with a French and Austrian player our Dutch Friend will die to soon.
