Ok I've been badgered the last few days to assign countries for Mach3 so here goes on the full listing:

England - Barnius
France - Mulliman
Spain - Attila
Portugal - Robertus
Venice - Damocles
Austria - Forzaa
Brandenburg - devil
Denmark - Slargos
Sweden - Onslaught
Poland - mnorrefeldt
Russia - HolisticGod
Ottomans - Wyvern

Have fun.

My number one choice was for Sweden. But I suppose thats just as well if Slargos is Denmark. If I was Sweden, and Slargos was Denmark, our wars would rent the very fabric of the space-time continuom. Venice will be amusing. My other choice was for France. Now, considering that Mulletboy was just the Ottoman Empire, and Gary was just France, shouldn't some other people have a chance at a major? I only mention that since France and the OE are the two most powerful countries, and its odd for two people to have a monopoly on one of them two games in a row (well, for gary, three, having been both in mach1 ;)) :eek:

Though, as Venice, I am benefitted by having Gary as OE, because Venice could do very well if it was allied with a strong Ottoman Empire (If I chose to go that route), especially one with Gary's inclinations (see Austria in machii). I just bring it up as a purely unbiased, quirky observation...

Thirdly...It would appear that Peter Ebbesen isn't playing? :confused:

I can't even IMAGINE the game with you as France :eek: I mean, look at poor France in Machiavelli II, trembleing because of your POLAND :wacko:

Mughals could well be the way to go, then if anyone leaves Aldo can move to that position.
Could be fun. Also Papal States, Lithuania (if not absorbed into Poland) and other not unimportant nations could be considered.

Personally I have had the experience that not all players conclude their campaigns so I think it will all be solved naturally. ;)

Edit: I do NOT like these new ice blue smileys.

Thus concluding your odyssey of countries that really shouldn't be allied to their worst enemies but somehow end up doing just that when played by Damocles in an "RP" environment.. :D

Let me just say upfront that if I do play in machiavelli 3, I will be playing it like I would any other MP game, although I would naturally work very hard to patch a sufficiently good RP excuse on every move I make.. just like most people have been playing Mach 2.. :rofl:

LOL,
But Slargos has a point there,
RP-ing is something that we are missing desperately in Mach2,
I very much hope that Mach3 will be more like what Mach2 was intended to be in that respect :rolleyes:

I demand french culture for Austria, with Franche Comte clearly a valid case, and I am sure it wouldn´t be abused at all.:D

Agreed; surely Sweden deserves a counterpart in the catholic camp?

I am concerned that Peter Ebbesen's name isn't listed next to a country, however... the game won't have quite the same "flavour" without him.

Then Sweden should also have both Russian and German culture, because Sweden did own two provinces in Germany and Novgorod in Russia at some point in history...:)

Actually, the Venetians and Turks had the closest relationship of any other countries, including France. For instance, Suleyman was against seizing Cyprus off of Venice, but it was a Greek Jew who convinced his successor, Mehmet the Drunkard to do so, against Suleyman's former Vizier's advice.

One hundred years later, Spain and Austria refused to help Venice defend Crete, because they feared the Venetians would just return to their Turkish sympathies afterwards.

For play day there were a couple of people wanting to stick with Tuesday. There are plenty of existing games running on other days so felt in the end it best to stay on the current day.
