Americans Take Europe 3 Redux: New (old) game

[Casluerj]

Since the_genius couldnt GM anymore and we had only played 2 sessions, it was decided that I new campaign would start and I would GM until TG back to take his legitimate charge (I hope as fast as possible, we miss you new North American boy ). I want to promote Arco to cover my previous function as CO-GM, to help me take this job (it'll be hell to GM two games ) and I count with all of you to make this be a funny game and once again for the third time:

Rules - ATE3 Rules that can be discussed yet.

- Responsability with the rest of the Players and Respectability are keys here (roleplaying is allowed and encouraged).

- No Gamey Behaviour.

- Play long term but not to the death, be reasonable.

- At a -85% WS and -3 stab, a country will be forced to accept the next stabhitting peace offer.

- Max number of Provs that can be asked a loser at the end of a war:
* Until 1550 = 4
* Until 1650 = 6
* Until 1750 = 8
* Until the End = No Limit
(Values: European Provs = 1; Non-European Provs = 0.5; CoTs = 2)

- Only the Winning Alliance Leader may negotiated a Peace agreement. No separate peaces allowed.

- Editions will be made before the sessions aproved by the GM.

- Land/Naval DP Slider Locked at 5.

- AAR and Diplomacy between sessions are fully encouraged, by the meaning that every country/player *MUST* do a little AAR or commentary about what happened, no need of deep and long stories, just a few lines will be enough. This will be rewarded with some prizes (pick one of these):

*1492 - 1550
- -0,3% infla
- 300d
- +300 to tech investments (land, naval, infra, trade & stab)
- -3BB
- +1MP in a random prov
*1550 - 1650
- -0,3% infla
- +500d
- +500 to tech investments (land, naval, infra, trade & stab)

*1650-1750
- -0,3% infla
- +700d
- +700 to tech investments (land, naval, infra, trade & stab)

- A nation that control an European Provs that is not his core for 50 years and it has his State Culture, will get a core on it; except colonies with Aborigin culture. (r) Casluerj

- Netherlands will be released in 1580, with a lot of boosts (DP clicks and such, a grand fleet, army, fortresses everywhere) - all decided later. The owner of the NL by the time it will be released will get remunerations: 1500d, 1000d in infra and trade. Netherlands will own from release: Breda, Zeeland, Holland, Gelre, Groningen and Zwolle.

- The possibility of selling/buying provs between sessions is allowed, but will get the seller: -1 stab; and to the buyer: -1 stab, +2BB.

- No switching between CRC-Catholic, only two changes are allowed.

- The GMs are your friend, respect them .

 

[Casluerj]

Well, I would like to keep playing France.

About Rules I would like discussion about these:

- At a -85% WS and -3 stab, a country will be forced to accept the next stabhitting peace offer.

I would like that he put -99%

- Land/Naval DP Slider Locked at 5.

I dont like this, but I am not against neither... Quite neutral.

- No maptrading with AI. Is allowed between humans from 1600.

I think trade map between humans should be allowed since 1492.

- The possibility of selling/buying provs between sessions is allowed, but will get the seller: -1 stab; and to the buyer: -1 stab, +2BB.

I would like to kill this

And of course no NL rule since we wont have one.

Thoughts?

Well, I dont like OE or Russia... I think I dont have the patience to play Spain again. I can get England. If not, France. In last case Austria.

And I like the naval rule, with 6 players it's yet more important for keeping the playing field level. Other sugestion, lets keep the random commanders.

For the rest, Im ok.

Camisa,

Do you have any regular contact with Nuclear Winter and Anibal? It would be good to have them here.

 

[K'shar]

Tech Trees:
- OE will have Orthodox Tech until 1700, then it will get Latin.
- Russia will have Orthodox Tech until 1650, then it will get Latin.

Is this right? Or do you mean: "OE wil have latin tech till 1700 then it will get orthodox" ?

 

[Casluerj]

Is this right? Or do you mean: "OE wil have latin tech till 1700 then it will get orthodox" ?

Well, I just copied TG's rule... However I do think OE needs some boosts after 1700 since it is leaderless and its monarchs suck.

K',

Join us, mate.

 

[arcorelli]

Well, I could go Russia again. If not, Austria or OE.

About rules, I think rules are fine (and I approve the penalty for edits, if you are going to sell your lands some people should be disturbed for it, so -1 stab sounds fine)

 

[DSYoungEsq]

When are you planning on starting? I could do Tuesday nights starting April 18. As it stands, I won't be bowling on Tuesday nights after that date.

I'd love to join in.

We could love to get you back. Not sure if waiting until April 18 (although for that date we could get NL).

 

[Gaius Marius I]

I'm still in, but can't make any session before the 11th of April, due to some exams and such.

 

[Mem de Sá]

Never talked with them in a long time, Caslu.
Ah, about the rules, I think we should mantain the map exchange till 1600.

 

[DSYoungEsq]

If you start before then, I could either have my country subbed, or could take over the NL when they spawn. Either way is fine with me.

Hi DS!! Good to see you around here again.

The best option would be get your nation subbed, since we decided to not have meduim powers. You could pick one of the majors.

 

[Casluerj]

I'm still in, but can't make any session before the 11th of April, due to some exams and such.

And what would be your preferences?

 

[the_genius]

Hey I think I have seen those first two posts somewhere else

As I said in the other thread, good luck to you guys in this redo ATE3

Good to have DS back in the group .... and adding K' would be really nice too

 

[Gaius Marius I]

And what would be your preferences?

I suppose i could take on Russia.

 

[DSYoungEsq]

Just give to me whatever is unwanted.

 

[unmerged(11287)]

Sweden for me.

 

[arcorelli]

Sweden for me.

Pibe, we still dont' get players for the other countries, so choose one of the majors too (as in ENG, SPA, FRA, HAB, OE and RUS). Just in case.
