I don't know of a pure irc channel, but Paradox does have it's own network--Valkyrienet--through which you can play the games. It's accessible under the Multiplay button when you enter the game. Victoria has its own channel.

Valkyrienet is about as filled as a Vatican whorehouse. Fiding anyone there is a matter of luck. I mean, anyone - it's cleaned out.

Getting people to play would be much easier outside of Valkyrienet honestly, then use the service to start a game.

Yes, Lamprey's right about the traffic there. It's best to fins some folks then meet.

About MP games, is there an irc channel for pickup games or something? Also, how long does these games usually go on? I mean, not many have time for 6 hours straigth gaming :)

Irc information sent. Hopefully a game will start within a few days. Memnon most likely will be in it...and you all know what a warmonger he is :)

Why don't you give me the info too? PM or IM at Lamprey1234. I promise to crush Austria at the first opportunity, no matter Memnon is playing it. Err, no matter WHO is playing it! :eek:o

  • Victoria 2: A House Divided
Strange but I was all excited about getting victoria and now that I have it I've played one game and 1/2 and I am also started loosing interest I've been trying to figure out why but I just dont know. I actually feel kinda silly. I actually spent $500.00 on a new pc for victoria(as well as other games) and now I'm not as thrilled about it as I thought I would be.

I normally play EU2 untill I cant play know more but I dont get that with Vicky.

I think the fact that playing as Minor nations in Vicky suck....and I dont really like playing games with nations that start off as world powers....

Vicky is a great game It took me a very long time to get into its like reading a book get past the first 100 pages and your golden thats the way I look at Vicky I figured it out and its an amazing game unfortunatly no body bought it so theres not much MP action but don't give up on it yet its an amazing little game. And Paradox is very commited to patches so the game will only get better with time.

The funny thing is, I got Vicky when it first came out. I played it for a few weeks, then put it down. It was still installed, but never played - I went back to EU2. Then, almost a year later, I booted it up again - and have been addicted ever since. I just can't get myself into EU2 anymore these days; when I try it feels kind of like trying to race bumper cars after being in the Formula 1, you know? So easy, so simple, bleh. Like paint-by-numbers after an art class.

I'd say if you're not into Vicky, put it down. Take a week. Take a few months. Then try it again - chances are, you'll appreciate it a lot more ;)

Now, if only I could get into HoI. I so abhor that game, and I can't put my finger on why...

Just WAY more options in victoria, and much more interesting options as well. Add on to the fact that majors are actually fun to play (imagine that) and that the AI puts up a tiny bit of challenge, and I think it's light years ahead of EU. But that's IMHO... if you don't like micromanagement or aren't interested in balancing an economy, definitely not the game for you.

I would like to try too. Allthough I had some problems last time with MP, the game I tried before seemed to work :D. And about memnon a warmongerer: I'm not afraid of him, maybe he is the one that should be afraid? :p

Ok, a little info about our little MP group. We were a group of tribes people. We've been playing tribes or tribes2 for a while. Some of us were even in clans that were blood enemies so you can imagine the love. We are all fairly competitive as we all played on the ladder with or against each other. We trade insults in game, we back stab, we pile on cpu, generally speaking, we enjoy playing with each other. You can get a little idea of our group's interaction from the AAR in progress (probably dead due to my pc's problem).

Most of us belonged in clans that reached #1 rank on the ladder before so we are all pretty much fairly competitive. Depends on game but most likely, conflict with players are inevitable and alliances can change in the most inconvenient time for you.

If you feel like you enjoy those type of games, you're welcome to join us, you've been warned.

the biggest reasons why im still thinking of getting this game and havent yed done so is the fact that there is only 100years to play(not relaally enough time to build a empire that is a hudge war and economy power in all the continents)

the time period is allso not as interesting though it is still way more interesting than the world wars(i'm sorry but in world war games there is nothing nearly as important as war)

i hope that the next paradox game spans from the spiliting of rome to crusaider kings
that game would have it all; wars, moving of tribes, like the anglos and saxons to england and franks to northern france starting to build their countries,vikings,goths and all thows + you could se something as big as west-rome getting destroyed and a game were byzantium would actionaly have pover.

its a dream though i dout paradox would make a game that spans for atleast 600 years but maby in two games they could do the timespan :p :rofl:

If I can do this as serbia, think what you can do with Russia. No time to build an empire indeed!
