[unmerged(16277)]

If you guys are up for another guy, I would be more than willing to join in for a game this weekend (5-7 september)

I prefer playing slightly smaller nations normally, but I'll go with whatever you guys think is cool

I have Version 1.05b, the picture pack, and no mods whatsoever.
Oh.. I live in Vermont btw.. if that gives you an idea about time zone
I can propably play from about 3 PM and untill around 7 or 8. Then i will need to be off for a bit untill about 10 PM and till..well.. whenever I collapse

Hey guys, it's already Thursday and we haven't really talked about rules... I think it would be best if we got that out of the way before we get together so we can get right to the game.

Here are some topics I'll throw out for discussion:

• Naval stack limitation
• Military access through neutrals
• Nuclear Weapons ban
• Historical / Fantasy gameplay
• Allowing facists to join Allies
• Technology sharing

Anyone enrolled for the current game let us hear your opinion

 

[iBaLkiD]

Are we using 1.5b?

If so Stacking was adressed in that patch. I remember reading that somewhere but am not shure if it applies to land sea and naval as my memory aint what it used to be. I will look around for that thread.

In regards to Military access through nuetrals id say no go.

The only time you should be able to gain military access with a nuetral is if that nuetral doesnt touch or border with an enemy. Even then it is sketchy because that "nuetral", can get sucked into an alliance since it will be AI controlled, causing a fustercluck of a situation.

I would rather play with no nukes. I dont care if you drop 100 missles on me and drop my IC to zero for the next three years as at least there was some thought, coordination and time put into this stratedgey. Nukes are just too powerful. One of the only game rules im not to flexible on. Still if im in the minority then i shal relent

Fascist to allies needs some more discussion. We only have today and tommorow so we need to make some sort democratic resolution on this b4 gametime.

I dont mind tech sharing at all. I think Human controlled nations should be able to share with each other as much as they desire. I suggest a limit of some sort in regards to AI controlled nations as this can quickly get crazy. France wielding 40-60+ supercharged EXP divs from its allies, added to its own army, can be considered an exploit. Again open to discussion.

Everything is open to discussion. We reach a decision in a democratic fashion so that a majority of us is happy at least

**EDIT**

Also how are we going to play? Historical or FFA? Both ways are fun and have their moments. FFA is good for a mixed bag of players with alot of back stabbing going on. Historical is just straight up stratedgey and fun. Again im partial to both so i dont care. Would like alternate in the future tho. EUII is great in MP FFA so i cant get that out of my system

Man cant wait for friday. Anyone want to play a quick comp stomp tonight? A quick fix if you will?

 

[TheDarkside]

OH right.. version!
Im using 1.5b and cannot find my CD so I hope everyone is cool with 1.5b...

Yeah I wasn't sure if stacking was fixed... lemme know what you find out

I agree on military access. Definitely on bordered nations... quesitonable on others.

I'm with you on no nukes

IMHO, fascists joining allies is bad, because that fascist can DoW on nations for the allies without them getting their big dissent hit.

Tech sharing.. it's nice to avoid because it maintains the edge Germany had over allies. But I'm fine with it being allowed. What if only certain categories of techs can be shared? Maybe only applications while doctrines and theories you cannot share? Seen that used in a couple games for some success.

I tend to like historical play better... but it's up to you guys, it dosen't bother me too much.

I would limit tech sharing to Applications only, nad not theories.

Other than that. no real issues here.

Are we playing the whole "which of the three factions get most vp?" or just playing to see how well we each do and whatnot ?

 

[unmerged(12589)]

Im 1.05B also.

Tech sharing we should limit to either apps only or a set number per year. Im against tech giving to AI nations.

Im against nukes.

Military access we should avoid all together.

I think we should go historical, FFA has the potential for no contest games as far as VPs go.

We should limit naval units to a set number of ships in the stack (original stacks and transports excepted), one stack per zone unless theyre in port or performing a landing operation.

 

[unmerged(12589)]

Never played multi so; whats the standard for pausing the game or what will the default game speed be?

 

[unmerged(16277)]

i've only played one multiplayer game before so nice to know i wont be the only newbie heh

 

[iBaLkiD]

*Sharing tech. No Gold's is cool with me. No sharing with Computer controlled nations either.

*We will avoid Military access all together.

*No nukes, yay

*We will play historical. I.E. [Axis: Germany, Japan, Italy.ect.]

Stacks have been adressed in the last patch. Stacking is a really inneficient way of reinforcing now. Im not shure if they still help as fodder, absorbing damage and what not. Ill ask Math Guy. He will know. Stacking is a waste of units IMO you can always be doing something else with half that "glob" of boats and still achieve what you want with the first "glob" erm..half.
To each is own tho. I would enjoy playing either way. Strict 24 stack limits has its merits as well. Win win.

Everything seems resolved but the stacks. Lets get some more feed back on it, and any feedback on other issues that come to mind.

Any rules for the S.U. player? Minors willing to play as an ally?

Ill post the rules after some more thought provoking posting

Normal if everyone agrees.

Pause and tell others why your pausing. Theres always something to click on in your little kingdom, when the game gets paused. As long as its not excessive...
