Hi All
So I managed to get my mate onto EU and we are almost through his "learning" game. We started as him (England) and me (Castile), working together, we have divided America (north / south) between us and drew an imaginary line through Europe which we have been working on. I have been more successful and currently have all of Iberia, Seville Node Morocco, Lower Half of France (he has northern France), All of Italy, All of Hungry and surrounding states etc.
He has all of Great Britain, Norther France, The Low Countries, and a bunch of vassals in Germany etc.
We have been playing this on 1.5.1 option in Steam as that was when we started the game.
Basically the year is 1736 so less than a 100 years to go so we are looking forward to the next game, and I have a few questions/idea requests:
1. EU version, like I said we played 1.5.1, and that is all he knows (this was his first game). When we start again what is the best version to play at in your opinion? I briefly played 1.6 which was ok, didn't play enough of it to decide if I liked it better than 1.5.1. Also we have no expansions, should we invest in any of the new expansions before starting again?
2. We are looking for another tag team set of starting nations. We don't want to play against each other so it will be allies for life again haha. Obviously a bit harder but he is still new (although I can carry him I guess, but it sucks for him if he is always the weaker of the pair like this time). We want a pair of nations that could complement each other, with clear and easy lines of boarders etc where we wont be annoying each other (for example conflicting trade etc). Other than that, open it anything, Europe, outside Europe the works.
3. When giving options for 2 above, keep in the back of your mind that we are trying to talk another mate into EU so there might be a third nation required.
Cheers
