Most of the players lost interest, remember?
Most of players leaded to summer break. I believe it should be a try now before give up
Okay, count me in too - I want to be in a game with Damocles again. I will have to resign from the DBD IV game that is being proposed by juv, since I do not want to play more than 2 games a week.
Mondays from 1930 CET (1915 at a strech) is fine, provided we start from 5th Sept onwards (I'm unlikely to be available on the 29th, as it's a bank holiday here).
Alternatively, we could even start as soon as next Monday, if there is enough players interested, although there is not enough time for diplomacy etc if we do start then.

Re scenarios, well the usual 1492 / 1520 would probably be best. Although I wouln't mind playing Hive's AOI 1568 scenario again.

I'll need to know what scenario is being used ASAP. I need to practice it. I used to know the date for every major event for every major from 1492 onwards and plan accordingly (It's good to know what your neighbours will be going through). Now, I would be taken by surprise...

Not in certain situations, it isn't.
For instance...Knowing if you have 2 or 3 free stability boosts coming in the next 20 years can decide an entire's session fiscal policy. Simply because you wouldn't waste the time and funds on it otherwise.
And that is just a minor example. There are also unneccessary dp slider adjustments you might make. It can be a very unfun experience to realize you just wasted all that time.
I've always believed that each nation is relatively balanced...and that the events and leaders they get are part of that balance. There are some nations whom are greatly impaired in manpower and income, yet with good events and good leaders, can function as majors.
For instance, Portugal, Prussia, the Dutch and Sweden all have about a 30-50 year windows of opportunity to become majors and stay that way.
Though, for all I know, military leaders may be totally random now in some MP games. Though, that would seem unfair to smaller nations. Such as the Dutch, Prussians and Swedes who rely on those leaders to offset the huge advantages of nations like Russia, the Ottoman Empire and Spain for a period of time, all of whom get mediocore leaders yet huge manpower and income.
You have some good points when you consider that other players know those events and suchs. Ideally, no one knows them though (imo!). Because it's like being Paul Atréides (prescience). But hey, I do like to know future also!

Trying to find that out now, but my hopes aren't high.
Damocles said:
Most games have at least random leaders in addition to the historical ones nowadays, but weren't you one of those who were in favour of random leaders back then in the Machiavelli days?
I can play everyday. I prefer:
TUR(all scenario)
RUS(all scenario)
POL(only on bocajs 1419)
TUR(all scenario)
RUS(all scenario)
POL(only on bocajs 1419)
I agree, but PEs 1492 or 1520 is more likely because players normaly prefer those more.PJL said:

Then it's settled, Slargos wanted to play the mughalsDamocles said:Ottoman Empire - I've played the OE more then any other nation. So even though my skills suck now, I'll be able to go by muscle memory when clicking.
I would be very happy to join, Russia would be my favorite to play, definitely. I like ******'s scenarios (I am not familiar with why he was banned, & am sorry if people are serious when they say you cannot say his name here anymore) they are well balanced & have lots of different setups. I, of course, would be open to any nation or scenario though. I have yet to actually start a game since having the time to begin playing again. I have subbed a lot though, but I can not wait to begin a country yet again
