New Age of Mercantilism game

[Slargos]

This game will play on Thursdays 8pm CET.

The Scenario used will be Slargos Enhanced Age Of Mercantilism v3
This is the final version and contains the changes listed below.

Roster:

Sweden - Slargos
Holland - Barnius
England - GeneralDearing
Austria - PJL
Russia - TheArchduke
Poland - ForzaA
Brandenburg/Prussia - Damocles
Denmark - RedPhoenix
Venice - TheLotus
France - Twoflower

Ottoman Empire - Selfparody

List of Substitutes and sometime players:

Mulliman - First session, Bavaria.
Cheech - Saxony.

Game will last ~10 sessions at ~20 years per session.

I'm not going to stress RPG but it is welcome.

I have as previously mentioned a good solid host that can accommodate for ~16 players without lag, unless you're on the american continent in which case lag is pretty much unavoidable, but seldom a serious issue.

Interested? Post what country you want and also your ICQ# so I can reach you.

Also, please make suggestions on what you think needs editing. Be reasonable.

---------------------------------------------------

List of preliminary changes to the Scenario:

- Gave Portugal some fortresses to make the CoTs harder to steal.
- Edited the colonysizes to fit the new Colonycitysize rules. (>1000) (note: You should load up the scenario and check your country for any colonies I might have missed if you feel the need. I believe I got them all but you never know...)
- Moved polish core from Bujak to Jedisan. Makes more sense that way.
- removed French cores on Navarra and Gerona
- removed French core on Alsace (is added by Chambers of Reunion)
- removed Swedish core on Kurland (added by the Kurland succession)
- gave Spain a core on Artois, Franche Comté and Roussillon
- gave Russia its core on Livland (it gets it in the Fate of the Order)
- made the Palatinate the leader of an alliance with Hessen and Württemberg (i.e. the protestant Union that did NOT include Brandenburg or Saxony)
- put Baden, Strassburg, Würzburg, Köln and Münster into the alliance of Bavaria and Austria (so that we have a catholic League)
- made Denmark the leader of an alliance with Holstein, Bremen, Pommern, Mecklenburg and Hannover
- made Oldenburg and Holstein Danish vassals
- added various playable countries.

I'm interested yeah, especially since my baltics centered game went down the drain..

You might want to add Poland and perhaps denmark, to have something slowing down Swedish/Russian expansion.

 

[unmerged(10146)]

I would like to play Holland in that one. If there is Holland in Machiavelli it will be good for comparison (much different starting positions both in Europe and in colonies).

Have you thought about some rules? We have to have that covered before the game.

Regarding playing times, I am available Monday-Thursday 20-24(01, 02…) h CET. With the exception of Tuesday if there is Holland in Machiavelli.

You have my ICQ and can distribute it to the other players.

 

[Slargos]

I usually don't run with any special rules, but if good sensible suggestions are made, we'll go with them.

A thursday game wouldn't clash with the ED/DoN/Machiavelli games so that seems to be the one to go for.

Thursday is OK by me.
Regarding rules, I suppose they are much less needed with all the "new" features in 1.06 and 1.07.

 

[RedPhoenix]

I'd recommend adding Portugal, Palatinate, Bavaria and Saxony if you get players enough. From these Bavaria and Portugal are the 2 most important and imho should be definately in there.


But most definately you can't play this game without brandenburg... you must have them
and yeah denmark and poland are must too.

I might be interested in playing bavaria or austria maybe. Or russia

 

[RedPhoenix]

actually France or england might be fun too hehe

But I'm not 100% sure if I have the time to play yet another game.

 

[ForzaA]

still need some experience in MP, so i'm interested in playing, but don't give me a "necessary" nation which would unbalance the game too bad if i mess up

icq# 112746755

 

[TheArchduke]

Holland, Brandenburg and Russia with me. I am in.

 

[PJL]

AoM? so that starts early 17th century, right? I might be interested in playing this, though Thurs nights are a bit iffy. I'd like to have Austria if I do play.

Only night that isn't covered by another game, it seems.

You're welcome to Austria as no one is yet to pick it.

Well. You didn't say you were going to play, and you picked 5 countries that you were interested in.

So if you want to, sure, you're bavaria. It doesn't look like we're getting all that many players though, so maybe you should consider one of the majors.

England

Hi there!

I will take England. Thursday evenings are great. See you in game all!

My ICQ # you have Slargos, but if someone else wants it, here it is:

276362675

 

[selfparody]

The time is late enought in the evening that I am willing and able to play. My icq is 159427468. I'll decide on gamenight who to play I think. Thanks.

 

[TheArchduke]

Thinking about it, Russia is great. I will try to ask get some more people too.

 

[unmerged(9563)]

Damn, I don't have ICQ.
But, I'd be willing to play if that dosen't stop me somehow... my AIM is SgtKwangTiger and my MSN is KwangTiger and my e-mail is Dan_Carrington@Hotmail.com

seeems like the only countries left are crap, Spain (Gets hit with bankruptcy in the beginning), Ottomans (Ottomans in the late game), and France (Everyone hates them), but I'd be willing to play one of those I need to.

(In this order : France / Ottomans / Spain )

 

[ForzaA]

yeah, i think i can settle with poland

only risk is russians getting a *bit* too strong, or the partitioning of poland occuring early

Sweden will surely not wish for this to happen. Don't worry. Just view it as a learning experience.

still missing Damo's and Melchior's ICQ

also would be good if the list of player got updated
