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!

Eu4 MP, hmm, I think I've heard of this
 
22 seconds into the video: I don't know who Duplo is, but he's got my vote! :D
 
Interesting setup, though not really a balanced one.
Johan has shown often enough what he is capable to do with England.
KaiserJohan got lucky with Ottomans once again.
Mamluks and Muscovy have the usual advantage of being on the distant outer sphere.

Can't wait to see how diplomacy will affect the center of Europe though. I'd love to see a StarNaN & Groogy alliance!
 
Glad to see you guys going back to the OG game. The gimmicky battles were alright but this way of play is much more entertaining.

Rooting for Trin-Senpai as always :D
 
KaiserJohan - Ottomans
Yeah, this'll be a steamroll unless he gets ganked out of existence in the first 20 years.
Not so sure. He did a very impressive Player vs AI run last time, but he was shaky in his first war against the Ottomans team. Despite superior armies and greater income and numbers, he struggled a lot. Without the Prussian ideas, I'm curious to see if he can do as well. Even if his SP skill should allow him to carve the Middle East and Persia quickly. A bit of a shame there is noone in Qara Qoyunlu, that would have spiced things up. That was probably more interesting for balance that putting 3 players in Italy, or one in Holland.
If I had to chose, I would have removed Milan and Holland and replaced them with Scotland and QQ. QQ+Mamluks could contain the Ottomans, and Scotland could give a real challenge to the formation of GB if they received support from the continent, especially someone with a strong navy (Castile, Portugal, Denmark, France?).

Otherwise... hyped! I waited for a classic Dev Clash for quite a while!

This dev clash has a distinct lack of FREEDOM. Johan needs to make a beeline to the Americas and play as a released Colonial Eastern America. I want to see a USA that stretches to the pacific before 1776.
 
There's really only four non-colonial nations on the edge who can try to conquer from AIs without player interference: Morocco, Mamluks, Ottomans and Muscovy. Of those, I'd be most worried about Muscovy/Russia and then the Ottomans - I expect that Kaiser Johan will have a significant amount of player interference (starting with StarNaN) if he tries to annex the Middle East and keep going into India, but Poland/Lithuania and Denmark/Sweden are likely to keep each other busy long enough for Muscovy to form Russia and get far enough east that the AIs to the east won't ally any players because of distance, at which point he can just keep plowing east until he hits Ming.

Everyone else is crowded enough together that when they go for an AI there's a good chance that there's a player allying that AI, which is definitely going to make life complicated.
 
KaiserJohan with Ottos? Oh god...

Rooting for the Groog, LetterZ, and Katz of course. All I'm scared for is that the setup isn't balanced. But it'll be a pretty great clash besides that.
