PDS Developer Multiplayer Sessions - Res Publica

[Ibrins]

That was one hell of a session indeed.

France is becoming a monster, though, with its complete dominance over the Bordeaux trade node, and England weakened - at least in the short term. Burgundy, Austria, and Aragon will be key now. As A_Spec likes to say, "The real question is", will France reign supreme, or will it meet its demise at the hands of a coalition yet again?

 

[Groogy]

You Norwegian? You are my new favorite!

Sigh, it's Vijayanagar By the way, you showed us all the different gods the Hindus worship in the next patch. If you, as a Hindu, conquer a province of some other Hindu that worships a different god, do you get any maluses/need to convert people?

Oh, and Groogy, don't go overboard with the mead. That stuff goes down sweet and smooth as silk, but then tends to kick you in the plums

One final thing: why did Granada accept when Castile sold off its provinces? Isn't AI supposed to refuse when it puts them above 25% overextension? They were at, like, 170%, or something. A teensy exploit, I presume?

It was small overview of the God, I think I showed three of the 5 and didn't go that indepth with them. I suggest you watch the feature stream on WoN soon for more details.

Will do, thanks.

 

[Avernite]

I think Aragon et al will wait a bit before killing Portugal, they probably want to make sure he can't pick up a serious Asian power

 

[A_Spec]

A new player joins the arena. BjornB will be playing as Morocco.

It's not a bad idea, but it's kind of cruel towards your brother :laugh:

 

[Shumpitostick]

I'm surprised no one picked a native tribe. With CoP they have a potential to become really huge. And why pick Morocco when Tunisia's so blobbed? You can just conquer them fast if you want to colonise. There's also a void in the HRE now. If only Austria's there they can unify it and become really strong. Instead of picking tons of asian countries that are guaranteed to clash it would be much smarter to go for the HRE and the new world.

It is, but the hoi polloi have come to expect cruelty in your dev game

Sulṭanat Misr al-Mamālīk will guarantee their Sunni brothers independence against the wrongful Tunisia who is a threat to stability of North Africa.
Allāhu Akbar!

 

[Keinwyn]

Nobody wants to pick up Granada?

 

[Alexivan]

I'll be "picking up" Granada.

In MP games, Native Tribes players have a good chance to be wipe out, if they don't make a deal with big players. And any repick in European means suicide, because do you know why do they have to repick?

 

[Wudadi]

Everyone will be picking up Granada. Granada is a goal for everybody Who owns Granada until 1821 will win the game:laugh:

Playing as a tribe from 1444, you can get a very obnoxious navy pretty early, and probably use it + FBR as a bargaining chip for an alliance with a Euro power who needs one, possibly against England or with England against Iberians.

Somewhat ironically they're less disadvantaged than most Asian starts, having good ideas available and a mechanic that doesn't let them far too fall behind. Some of them even have the ever-obnoxious +core cost.

That is the reason why they won't survive in Mp game. Human players are usually not stupid enough to let Native grows. Last time we have mega Brandenburg and Netherland only due to the corruption of HRE, and the results are nerfs for both of them. In a 25 players game, late game advantage does not count.

What nerf to Brandenburg?

I heard something about the Covert action relation impact ambition being changed to Aggressive Expansion reduction, but that's a pretty huge buff if anything. What else did they change?

Nothing, but Discipline is being cut in half across the board Tzeentch.
