[Ccbasin]

Hey All,
I, like Hojo, may be around to sub. Also, dont forget Phd Professor expressed interest in joining this game. He might be able to show up. Hope it all goes well for you guys tonight.

Hi again, Lethke PM me and said u may have a vacancy. Whether there still is or not can u plz give me the start time and ill see if i can be there. From what I can gather its 6pm American Eastern Daylight time, thats 5hrs 15mins from now?

 

[Ccbasin]

Phd Prof,
It is at 9:00pm eastern. Roughly 7hr and 45 Minutes away.

 

[daedalus]

hmm I am on danger of getting home late due to work problems. I'll try to get there on time though.

 

[unmerged(334)]

Wow. this looks bad.. Dead maybe late, habs too, lethke is out, no one is else said they will play tonight... My wife will kill me if she finds out that we did not go out do to a game that did not happend.............

 

[JEscobar]

Well, I am in for tonight. But if Daed is late, who can host for him?. And, can Moldavia afford an AI player for the first 2 or 3 years?

 

[Lethke]

My wife will kill me if she finds out that we did not go out do to a game that did not happend.............

Better prepare her for the possibility.

 

[Barca]

I will be there, and I can try to host. I have 1 gig ram and a college dorm 4200kbps down/1200kbps up connection, but I'm not sure how stable it is (never tried to host). If daed is going to be late it might be a good idea to do some test runs.

 

[daedalus]

Bah, I made it on time . I am at home now, still working, but at home. So I will there on time

 

[Barca]

That wasn't even close, where's the fun in that

 

[unmerged(334)]

I have problem geting into a chanell. will try few more times

 

[Hyzhenhok]

Guys, I won't be able to rejoin tonight. My internet is really screwy. Sorry.

 

[unmerged(17563)]

I'm quitting

I thought I'd be able to play a minors game

I can't...

I thought a minors game would be fun

It isn't...

Sorry

 

[unmerged(1104)]

Minors game is great fun.

Brabant should to be edited up to +3 stab for that event, because its not really fair for one nation to have an event like that. And Lorraine needs to have that loan removed and 200D removed. What do you guys think should be done about Navarra? They have 28 inflation and 1 province IIRC.

I'd also propose to change the diploannex rule to 3 provinces, as it was intended to only prevent the annexation of colonial nations I believe. We also need a new Lorraine player. A lot of work for this week

 

[unmerged(1104)]

3 prov rule seems fine, we have 400 years to play. Lorraine being in trouble could prolly use the loan edit. I haven't had one cause i keep money on hand. Brabant is more than fine in its current position, thats my 2cents.

 

[daedalus]

Yeah, I think we went a little too fast from the start

Moldavia did ok. Annexed Wallachia, and then declared war on poland in support of Pommern. War was going ok until hungary, my alliance leader signed peace with Poland. Lost two potential culture provinces. My WE was high anyways, and any troops over 15k means bankrrupcy for moldavia.
Then bosnia declared war on OE, we joined, but our 15K troops a full maintenance meant another loan, and later not able to pay the first loan. Moldavia has not been able to WP OE even when owning a +4 WS. Rebels started spreading due to WE.
So two good things from this session:
- Survived
- gained two provinces.
Two bad things:
- Our alliances got us out off a winning war, and into a most unprofitable one.
- 2 loans, one extended, taking away all our income, and the war/WE forcing us to keep an army at full maintenance

All or Nothing....

Friesland - The good, the bad and the ugly.

There was a sense of urgency from the start, nation declaring war upon nation. We desired a pot of gold in the form of a COT, Mecklemburg was near. DP - land, 3 baliffs, i think 6000 cavalry. Dow Bremen / Mecklemburg Alliance, annexed Bremen. Dow Burgandy, believing an easy victory at hand, my allies desert me. Meanwhile annexed Holstein, relations very bad(too many annexations too early), a few minor nations Dow me bringing there mighty allies down upon me, sPAIN, Portugal, Aragon, France and already fighting England. My troops turn to the left and to the right fighting enemies from every corner. Finally after much bloodshed we control our target " Mecklemburg " and they gratefully join our realm, we are in our prime. However Burgandy and her mighty brother in arms England have turned the tide against me and refuse all reasonable peace terms and several more minor nations Dow me, my economy is crumbling, the capital falls, the gem "Meckle" is beseiged, I cant afford my troops. The parliment takes loans to pay the Friesland men of valour, three loans in total, the economy is headed for destruction...all gains are lost. If I had stayed at home and ate my cornflakes I would be better off.

Overall good fun, I like this scenario, shame i got 3 admirals and no generals and I should have remembered not to have annexed so many nations in such a short period of time.

Just one thing - why is Moldavia and all her provinces Catholic, personally I would have thought being Orthodox would have been more to her advantage with all those Orthodox provinces around her.
