Suggest me a country

[unmerged(56688)]

I'm playing AGCEEP 1.50, having played vanilla until relatively recently. I guess I'm an "average" player, and have mainly so far played as England, in both forms of the game.

But now I fancy something different...

So, please suggest me a country for a GC in AGCEEP which will give me a different challenge - one-province German minor? Poland? Lithhuania? Savoy?

The choice is yours...

 

[SeedSnatcher]

Novgorod? :rofl:

Brandenburg, one of the most fun countries to play!

Wales, Scotland or an Irish minor perhaps?

I've enjoyed several games as Savoy because of their double culture and a chance to get involved in the HYW by taking Lyon.

 

[CatKnight]

Ternate!

Brandenburg and Savoi are sure fun to play. But if you want to see a real change compared to the games you know from Vanilla, I suggest playing a country with lots of events. The Ottomans, Dauphine (will become France), or other majors like that come to mind.
Another favorite of mine is Brabant: You have both Dutch and French culture and can turn into the Netherlands while keeping both cultures. That gives you lots of opportunities: You can focus on the European continent or become a colonial empire, or a mixture of both.

Based on your experience and played nations, I would say the Ottomans. They're acquire a different playing style than England and they're never boring. A lot of events, good leaders, multi-religion wars, and even colonization.

I agree, OE are an excellent choice for a fun game.

I'd say the Ottomans are a good suggestion too. They're not as hard as Brandenburg or as easy as France, but they still require you to use land warfare instead of naval warfare, which makes things completely different from England.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

Ottomans it is, then - should be very different from the western european type game I'm used to. I shall start a new game this morning - I'll let you know how I get on

Keep the suggestions coming though - its always interesting to see new perspectives.

Vijayanagar is a fun game to play if you want something outside Europe.

 

[The Danish King]

Denmark, of course.

- Restore the Kalmar Union
- Take over the Holy Roman Empire
- Colonize Vinland
- Reclaim England as the New Viking Raiders™!

There are no end to the possibilities!

 

[jonti-h]

What about an African country, it would certainly be a different game!
Xhosa or Zimbabwe maybe?

 

[EvilSanta]

I love Far East. Especially Indonesia. You could take a nation there and unite Indonesia under your banner.

A nice play outside Europe is Ayutthaya, purple color and all. Very fun.

Otherwise, I would recommend Granada or Venice.

I love you post, you have future in marketing :rofl:

Also, if you want to stay in a familiar area, France and Austria both have the megapower capability (like England) but gain it on the land rather than at sea (although France is really a jack-of-all-trades and does have limited colonial ability).

Denmark, of course.

- Restore the Kalmar Union
- Take over the Holy Roman Empire
- Colonize Vinland
- Reclaim England as the New Viking Raiders™!

There are no end to the possibilities!

I intend to do this in my next game.

This sort of thing will be excellent in EUIII as well; forcing a personal union with England and reclaiming it for the Nordic Empire™!

Can't wait...
