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 :D

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

Pretty much yah :D
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.

Ethiopia? ;P

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!

Please put someone on Ming :D


There was a debate on that. Let's say that we pretty much agree something must be done, but that it's hard to think of something to do to Ming to make them less overpowered, without turning them into a country you really don't want to play.

No one is playing the Natives?

It's not inconceivable someone will end up in there.. but noone's starting there, no.

The Holy Roman Empire, Charlemagne's Empire, the Heir to Rome, makes clear its intent to stand unified against invaders and aggressors that would transgress on the ancient and divine rights of the Princes of Germany and Italy. The Emperor of the most blessed House of Habsburg wishes all nations of Europe to know of his benevolence and goodwill, and hopes that in time they may come to peacefully accept his leadership and restore the Roman Empire to its former glory.

Bella gerant alii, tu felix Imperio, nube!

I will be rooting for whomever plays Friesland.

East Frisia -> Best Frisia
Frisia is the only nation strong enough to resist the Emperors forces and stay independent!

A QA guy as Timurids, that's going to be damn scary. My $$$ is on you, unless they gave/allowed France or Russia to ForzaA (or did something similarly suicidal).

ForzaA got Burgundy.

If you haven't watched the previous videos (Season 0), then I highly suggest you do. They should be available on Youtube somewhere or Twitch.

considering most people in MP are such HRE-fobes, I doubt you would play in long enough until a massive coalition forms bc you vassalage electors, have 1 reform and 25 IA :p

I really what to do an Austria game, protect the Empire, chose to support Burgundy or France, (if any of those 2 get to big, there will be problems) put any power in the HRE in is place, befriend the AI bc I think you can trust then more rather then your pals XD.

lets see Wiz, let´s see how this goes, do you fear retaliation from rivals of the other MP games?

I'm not trying to reform the Empire. I'm trying to make everyone join the Empire.

Here we go again...

A new dawn is upon us, a new bright shining light has appeared in the Mediterranean sea. The Crown of Aragon is a gem of beauty in this ocean of oppression. Yes, we are being forced out of our rightful home of the Catalans in Iberia by the tyrants of Castile. But fear not my dear subjects, we shall prevail, we shall prosper, we shall become stronger, we shall remain united. Aragon is the undying flame of Europe that can not be extinguished, the dream of many, the foe of even more. Nay I say! We may be defeated for now but we shall never be eradicated.

pacem, vires unitas regni Aragonum

- Alfonso V de Trastámara, King of Aragon, Valencia, Majorca, and Sicily and Count of Barcelona and rightful heir to the crown of Naples

Devs listening to Sabaton. I'm... positively surprised ;)

The Carolus Rex album was the only thing I listened to while writing the Swedish flavor events for EU4. And during the Russian, Polish, Austrian and Danish events... ;)

Groogy has betrayed his true homeland.

This is betrayal of the highest order.

It was stolen from me by the devious K-Vald, don't worry I will make him perish from the face of the earth.

All of it

Don't worry, the glorious days that I get to become Denmark, I shall make sure it will be a glorious kingdom! I will even be able to write the propaganda in my own language :D
