"EU4 Dev Clash #9 - "Happy Three Friends" - Tuesdays 15:00 CET

[Groogy]

It's time to start up the next round of the weekly developer multiplayer clash!
Since people have been asking for more Thunderdomes we decided to make the entire campaign into one! Besides playing on the bleeding edge version of the game we'll also be playing with an internal-only build that has a few changes to make teams possible without using house rules. Some of the changes also tweak behavior in the game.

Players will be divided into teams of three. They will score together, they will rise together, and they will fall together. Players can only get victory cards on other teams and not on their own team mates or AI. Players within a team can also ignore opinion between countries to form alliances.

When?
Every Tuesday at 15:00CET! Starting on Tuesday the 7th of November 2017!

[BjornB]

Spoiler: Hype!

 

[Trin Tragula]

The south shall rise!

 

[Vince75]

Awesome ! So the three countries of each team must be allied, right ?

 

[Groogy]

Yes

 

[LittleFido]

Awesome ! So the three countries of each team must be allied, right ?

Indeed, they are allied throughout the entire game and score of all 3 is then summed up and the winning team get trophies.

 

[DDRJake]

Commentary shall be as unbiased as we've come to expect. May the best team win and bordergore be punished by way of coalition!

 

[Silversweeeper]

Will be interesting to see how forced permanent alliances will work out. Will temporary alliances between teams be allowed?

 

[Katzura]

I'm so looking forward to tuesday! Hype is real!

 

[Trin Tragula]

I'm so looking forward to tuesday! Hype is real!

I'm so looking forward to tuesday! Hype is real!

Same here

Indeed, they are allied throughout the entire game and score of all 3 is then summed up and the winning team get trophies.

Will the alliances be enforced by the team mechanic or just as an out-of-game rule?

 

[bigaristotel]

No StarNaN and Ikhi

 

[Groogy]

Not enough time to properly add and test where it forces the alliances to be made, so that is out-of-game rule.

 

[Pintu]

This sounds good. May the hugboxes never rise to power again! ^^

 

[LittleFido]

This sounds good. May the hugboxes never rise to power again! ^^

More like enforced hugboxes. As only the 1st place team gets trophies that also reduces the willingness to cooperate between teams.

 

[creativitypersonified]

maldives?odyev? you guys can be so cruel.

 

[Groogy]

Those are cruel but Kangra isn't? ;_;

 

[Dnote]

So... who's going to guarantee the independence of Byzantium?

Not me of course

 

[creativitypersonified]

Those are cruel but Kangra isn't? ;_;

dark groogy needs no power, for he is already lord of every nation

So... who's going to guarantee the independence of Byzantium?

Not me of course

you could always sell them a part of your country to allow them to survive there

 

[hej1215]

Great! But can you not add team OP: StarNaN, Wiz and Ihki to the clash?
