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.

I think it would be easier to balance Ming if it is a part of your mp games. In your previous game players in Asia were basically doing nothing and were not important at all, Ming could change this dynamic quite a lot.

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!

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).

Nah. They don't start as a Republic. Friesland -> The Netherlands is one of the few interesting and historical ways to play a republic for 1444-1821. I would really like one of the devs to try that route. I'd even argue that it's important to have a few people play republics in a Beta test, and Venice is just boring.

I would like to say, that the couch could use some improvement in the sound department. Sometimes it was hard to hear what are people on the couch talking about... :)
