Posing as a british soldier in a red coat and winter boots and a goofy looking hat. I marched (well drove first then marched) to the computer store at the mall armed with my wallet (they wont let me bring a musket into the store).

Meanwhile there was snow falling and earlier my internet spies had reported earthquakes in the kingdom of el salvador, devastating their land. Also in a nearby school here, racial tensions grew to a boiling point as unemployed black coaches demanded to know why everyone was hiring white coaches. Truely these were troubling times indeed. I must prepare a chest of copper coins to send as aid to the ravaged kingdom of el salvador, however my diplomatic engagements want nothing to do with the racial tensions. Let them fight like cats and dogs and ill clean up whats left of them. muahahaha foolish infidels.

Back in the store i look around me and alas there is rows of wonderful games but my mind is on one thing. I approached the little man at the counter, raised my wallet to show my strength.

'Do you have the game europa universalis coming to your store soon laddy?' i asked him cautiously not knowing the nationality of the ladd in front of me, maybe he doesnt speak the presidents english

'sir i dont see the game in our system, maybe they canceled it?' he replied

'how dare you insult me this way infidel, you must be allied with the europeans who delay all goods to our land!'

I marched back to my castle, not a happy camper indeed.

Then the phone rang, it was my fiance. She greeted me in such a manner as an ally would greet another. She asked me what i was up to and i said i am preparing for the greatest event of this year, perhaps of my entire life.

The phone was silent, then she said 'Oh you sweetheart you, what are you planning to do for our wedding now?'

I paused then replied, 'IM not talking about our wedding dear, Europa Universalis is coming soon and im preparing for that.'

click,

Hello, hello, baby are you there? but nothing but dial tone

Guess i have to dig into the treasury for reperations for my ally once again, please hurry EU while i still have money left.

make love not war :^)

LOL!
As one American waiting patiently (mostly) I salute you!
BTW, your biggest mistake was the British soldier's red coat! Not popular in the American colonies since the revolution you know. Oh well, you'll learn. :)

Usually I kind of like to see AARs where the player fails (since that assures that this game does challenge you), but this is one where my sympathi lies completely with you. Eagerly awaiting the game here in Denmark, I feel your pain! I guess your 'former' 'ally' probably now has a Cassus Bellum against you, hopefully your relations will survive the ordeal - even though you might have to vassalize yourself to her in order to preserve the alliance?

:D

Warspite you better pray you get one of those special events so you get hold of an explorer to discover some of that terra incognita.

Ahhhh, the waiting days, i remember then too well. Now that you have had the game for some time, or maybe just for a little while. What do you think?

Did it meet or exceed your expectations?

How many months do you think you will play it regularly?

What was your first reaction when you got the game?

For me, it far exceeded my expectations and even more so after the latest igc 2.0. I have had it since feb23 2001 and see me playing regularly for months to come, this is the best game i ever played. When i first got it that morning of the 23rd, my eyes opened wide as ever, i literally ran to the computer with the fedex box, ripping it open and getting busy playing. Read the rule book HA! no way, not until i got stumped hehe.
How about you all, those who have had the game for months now, or for days, whats your feedback.
