Struggle of the Supreme - New Game

If i have to choose from Spain and Austria id take Austria... though still, if we get enough people ill give up Austria and be Mughals.

I'll sign up for Austria as primary if there is enough people then, and Sweden as the alternative.

Correct.

I think he means that it is forbidden to DOW a country just for the purpose of acquiring maps (it may neither be the official or inofficial priority of the aggressor).

Serious post:

My school's staff once again decided to change my schedule after complains from the parallel class that my class got to end the earlier time on Mondays. That's they why now have moved it so that I: 1) Will miss a bus which means a delay of 60 mins, 2) come home 19.45. I am very sorry for this, and I suggest you find a new player for Sweden.

I think it is called floorball (I recently learnt it this week, that's why I reacted).

One ally, many allies.

A good rule to remember: In the majority of cases (if not all?) any English word ending with -y in the singular will becomes -ies in the plural.

It is nothing unusall, I am doing this each year. On 1st and 2nd november all Poles are visiting their family graves. It is our custom, religious holiday. Of course it is not fun, but it has its beauty - thousands of people gathering with candles (firecrests) and praying. There is dark and you can't see faces only "sea of fire" from flames on tombs...

I didn't take my camera with me (it will be unpropriet I think), but if you will write polish All Saints' Day to some searcher, you will find many english articles about it.

We have this day in Sweden too actually. It is just that it is not taken that seriously anymore, and it is slowly replaced by American traditions...

By the way, it seems stats are up. BB's income went up as much as anticpated, though the greater increase was in monthly income due to trade.

Hm, than Joohoo has to live in some other country or he is under influence of american culture

He does live in Sweden. He maybe just forgot about the Swedish national holiday due to being under influence under American traditions.

What annoys me of the patch is (if I understand it right) that Infra and Trade teching has slowed down. I think that will only be for the worse, since rich hypertecher nations will tech away from warmonger nations even faster; Just set the damn ahead of time penalty earlier...

This is not a problem in that way actually. I find it's the opposite; that the hyperteching nations will suffer. When I played with the new patch on Friday in Europe Ruined 2 as OE, after I had reached trade 7 (which costed 50% more after new patch), trade tech 8 costed 150000 in 1630, though it seemed to drop to 60000 a few years later. The point is, the penalty does not cause problems for nations with lower economic techs, only for higher tech nations. When a game is played from start with this setting, I believe it will certainly even out the economic side of things.

There is a new problem however, which is that the traditional hypertechers are more likely to invest in military tech now. To some extent this reduces the number of temporary CRT advantages the economically worse nations are likely to get, because there is no way it is profitable to only focus on economic techs for a longer period now. If you do so, you simply end up paying a lot more for the same techs as you would have paid later.

EDIT: I was under the impression that the ahead of time penalty had changed as well?
