[grekulf]

First.

 

[Gurluas]

Is it Developers only or can players participate?

It would be fun to face off with the devs someday. Perhaps you can make it a contest prize?

 

[GameGabster]

It would be really cool to be able to showcase this on my channel. But mehh... I can just stand outside the tower as I live in Stockholm.

 

[frolix42]

GL HF all. I look at how the developers play to develop my own strategies and the most obvious thing I'll be looking for is the implementation of Trade Capitals. I remember The Wiz moving the capital of France to Champagne last game. This will make Trade much easier for nations with capitals in unhelpful trade positions like France and The Timurids.

Also with players going for score from the beginning, the competition will be exciting.

 

[Johan]

I can into Space.

 

[tapewormlondon]

First.

Tut tut, that's against the rules! :closedeyes:

 

[Rhomaioi]

Johan as Poland confirmed.

 

[Tiresais]

Woot!

 

[Lakedaimon]

Stupid uni classes. I hope you will be posting videos again so I can still follow it.

 

[GameGabster]

I can into Space.

Poland? I expect you will move on Sweden as soon as you get the chance.

 

[Tiresais]

Poland? I expect you will move on Sweden as soon as you get the chance.

He should kill any early-Russia chance. I hear space is good this time of year (not winter)

 

[Variton]

Winners, drinks, couch? Is this some sort of Reality-TV show?

 

[Groogy]

I, righteous King of Gondor, shall defend the little people of Europe and give prosperity and wealth to us all! Expect much propaganda from me and Podcat

Winners, drinks, couch? Is this some sort of Reality-TV show?

Pretty much yah
We have a couch where the devs can sit and brag about their exploits and backstabbing and after every game we go to a pub and do "diplomacy".
Frankly I would watch this over any other Reality-TV show.

 

[The Witch-King]

Behold my castles!

 

[Alerias]

First.

Dont spam the thread!

:happy:

Very cool promotional concept!

 

[nmcj1996]

Ethiopia? ;P

 

[Alerias]

Ethiopia? ;P

The rightful King of Gondor is, of course, Aragon.

That you don't get our internal joke is appalling! I am Arago(r)n II, the son of Arathorn II. Rightful ruler of Gondor and shall be crowned as King Elessar, twenty-sixth King of Arnor, thirty-fifth King of Gondor and the first High King of the Reunited Kingdom!
