EU4 Dev Clash #10 - Rule Britannia - Tuesdays 15:00 CET

[Groogy]

It's time to start up the next round of the weekly developer multiplayer clash!
For this season we are going with a bit of an old school game. We are all returning to Europa, no developer only mechanics and play on the bleeding edge of the game.

This time around the winners will be the top three players in score. The Victory cards work normally again. However we will be halving the score of any player that needs to relocate out of Europe to entice people to stay alive for everything that's dear to them.

When?
Every Tuesday at 15:00CET! Starting on Tuesday the 6th of March 2018!

Where can I watch this live?

Commentator Bias is something a player must earn.

 

[KaiserJohan]

No Bratyn either. I'm sensing an incoming salt deficiency.

With positions as they are I'm sure we'll experience an unhealthy dose of salt and blood anyway

 

[Katzura]

... Ganker!

Forr you I got this

 

[KaiserJohan]

Forr you I got this

If you are going to send me to ROTW can I atleast get to choose which boat I am on?

Like... one heading for China for example!

haha you are too far away to gank... in session one so you will not go to ROTW any time soon at least not by my hand, and who knows, we might end up as allies since we are so far from eachother, who knows

:FeelsThinkingMan: !

 

[Katzura]

@Katzura proposed an alliance. Sorry @KaiserJohan but this means you are definitely going to lose this one.

Hey, StarNaN didn't mind my friendship to get first place >_>

 

[Groogy]

Calling Bratyn old guard feels... odd. Or I'm very old, and I remember the clashes before Jake or Da9L even joined Paradox, when it was about Johan, Wiz, Mr Nibbles or Forzaa. With some caster whose name I forgot.
I recall the race of Groogy towards Gonder as Aragon, quite the epic one.

The good old days eh? Caster was A_Spec, think he works for ESL now.

 

[Katzura]

did you forget to color in scotland on the map?

no player there so no colour

 

[KaiserJohan]

I wonder about the impacts about the new mission system, particularly for Ottomans. Will they now start with permanent claims on all of Serbia, Greece, Syria and the Levant, with Mesopotamian claims available if they beat the Mamluks in a single war?

That would seem extremely OP, especially led by a PvE player of KaiserJohan's caliber. Muscovy's starting claims on Novgorod and the minors is a major buff for them, but if Ottomans got the above many of the CoC nations would become unplayable for non-experts. I'm interested to see how the devs handles that.

A slight bump in the road is the Ottomans don't start with claims or missions on Byzantium. I need to fabricate claims the good ol' way to declare on them. The permanent claims from missions are awesome but some missions are locked behind more risky adventures (i.e Venetian/Genoan/Cyprus provinces) so I might resort to just fabricating most of the time.

 

[KaiserJohan]

Have you tried knocking on their door?

I'm sure it's fairly rotten at this point. Don't worry though I have a rather orthodox solution to the problem...

 

[neondt]

I hope that everyone has a good time, but mostly, i'm happy that scores are nerfed if you die and start again in rotw- i would have preferred sudden death, but a nerf is a nerf, so i look forward to this!

my money's on the newcomers! go new people!

I'm rooting for the new guys too

 

[KaiserJohan]

A shame, they should have made Dnote play Byzantium.

I approve of this message

 

[Groogy]

Whoa, now that is what I call planning in advance!

Because of popular demands, we have now moved the game to next week instead of 69 years into the future.
