Hive, in what circumstances are you going to attack an AI country *because* it is AI, with the knowledge (or the fear) that it would beat you if it was player controlled?
We always made it clear that Poland, Portugal, Sweden, and Brandenburg were options for players - and Forzaa made it known early on that he wanted to play Poland, way before Russia attacked. I'm not sure that this is a serious enough problem to warrant editing the save. Myself I've made questionable strategic decisions and been punished because of players intervening, it's just the nature of MP.

Not *because* it's AI, but it's obviously much harder when it's a player. She prepared for an AI war, not a player war. BUt if it's like you say, that it was announced long before the war (I can't remember) then it's her own fault..

But I'm pretty sure Spain would be pissed if he go to war with Incas and a player takes over all of a sudden...
There's a huge difference. I wouldn't , as an example, had attacked Songhai if they were player controlled. So if a player jumped in in the middle of the war, I would be pissed.

There's also a difference between attacking a nation with 10k and 100k, right? The player/AI aspect is and indication of power just like army size is.

Becky,

If you don't mine a suggestion from me....put your military maintanence sliders to 50 percent for awhile. Stop investing in land,naval, et al and just invest in trade and infrastructure. If necessary reduce the size of your forces. Eventually as your trade efficiency increases you will get more money and your traders will last longer in trading centers. Start getting your domestic sliders more toward innovative and centralized. You might get a few deflation events. However one you can promote governors they will help somewhat with inflation.

Leave Europe alone in warfare for now. Stay away from Sweden and Poland and the Teutonic Order. Keep a strong military presence there if you can to keep them from wanting to take advantage of you. Aim more for the Golden Horde and other steppelanders. The Golden Horde tends to have some cash. Take a province or two and cash each time you war with them. That will help to keep you afloat.

Just my little suggestions.

Amric

I have an important meeting on Sunday and I will need to be alert for it so I'm gonna ask Dan to sub for me again. Maybe after 11pm or something.

What's going on? Have someone crashed? What do I need to do?

I have an eternal waiting for other players screen.

 

[unmerged(17563)]

If that homophobic coward wants to come and face me. He can contact me on icq at 224444767. I'd be quite happy to flame his trollish ass.

Now for the game. I must finish off my little war witH Sibir and Nogai next session.

Phadishar's number is 18508560, if your intereted, Lady E. Needless to say, he won't be invited to another game.

The second time it happened because George left before we started. Unfortunately, because his connection was so poor his client didn't send the message to me that he had quit - therefore the game looked for him infinitely (disconnected clients don't timeout while loading ). The first time, I'm not sure... I think it sent a message that it connected, but couldn't subsequently establish it.

I won't be able to play next weekend... I have a funeral in another country to go to during the week, and I'm working long shifts on the weekend.
The next session will be Saturday 25 October.
Thanks to everybody today for their patience, and sorry that the session was a bit frustrating at times. That aside a lot of interesting stuff did happen (I'll work on the AAR over the next couple of days)

 

[unmerged(17563)]

I owe Phadishar an apology. It was all a misunderstanding. We spoke for about 30mins on icq. I would like if he where able to come back to our game next session.

Portugal is in a very good shape. It was the first country to reach Infra 5 and most of Brazil has colonial cities now. Only one or the other CoT would be helpful.

Sorry again about leaving all of a sudden. My dman TV guide wasnt clear about the start of the soccer match

 

[unmerged(11633)]

Oops.

No EU II downunder tonight. Whoops.

portugal, always at spain´s service

 

[unmerged(11633)]

See you next week then

 

[unmerged(17563)]

lol I had forgotten that there was no game as wello

I rushed home and loaded up EUII got to Valkryie and then remmbered.

 

[unmerged(11633)]

Well, next session may be tough. I've got bankruptcy and plague coming up, the ducth will eat into Spain's trade, and if France refuses to convert to Catholic, then another intervention in the wars of religion may be needed. And if England stands behind Calvinist France, a visit from the Spanish Armada may be required...

 

[unmerged(17563)]

I have to annex a few Khantes and hopefull I'll avoid the Times of Troules cos my centralization is really low.

Gonna go through abad period just the same till the Romanovs get to power.
