Suggestions for GC Nations?

[unmerged(6925)]

I play with several games going at once, to keep the 1min = 1month from driving me insane Therefore, I need suggestions for 2 or 3 more nations I can play along with Aragon? ROTW or whatever...Just not a German minor or European Major Thanks in advance!

China is good. It will definitely keep you busy.

Is China fun? From what I've heard, they are the easiest nation in the game

If you're using patch 1.04 or 1.05, then China suffers from some catastrophically bad events starting in, umm, the mid-1600s I think. I won't tell you exactly what, so as not to spoil it for you. I don't think they could be called the easiest nation in the game anymore.

If 1 month a minute drives you nuts, why don't you speed up the game? Does it crash on you or something?

Yes, China is definately interesting. They aren't the easiest I would say, but they are exactly a challenge either.

I would recomend several nations if I may, ahem...In Asia, be Nippon. In India, be Delhi. Mamelukes in Northern Africa. Timurid Empire in the Mid East. Novgorad in the northeast of Europe. Granada in Iberia. France in Europe. Venice in the Italian states, and finally give a go at Eire if you aren't scared hoho!

Lemme give ya a list of recommendations:

North Africa/Western Middle East - Mameluks, Nubia, Cyrenaica (Pre 1.05)
Northwest Africa - Morocco
Central America - Mayans, Zapotec
Eastern Africa - Ethiopia
Eastern Middle East - Oman, Timurids/Mughals
Central Middle East and Nearby - Ak Koyunlu, Qara Koyunlu, Kingdom of Jerusalem, The Knights
India Subcontinent - Delhi, Vijayanagar, Bengal
SE Asia - China, Nippon, Korea, Manchu, Cambodia, Champa, Dai Viet, Ayutthaya, Tibet
Indonesia - Brunei, Mataram

Since you did not say anything about European minors other than Germans...

Northern Europe - Suzdal
Eastern Europe - Duchy of Athens, Albania, Byzantium
Western Europe - Orleans
Italian Peninsula - Naples

Edit: Incorrect Listings.

Try Songhai.

 

[Pokka]

Try the Uzbek in Middle Asia.

 

[unmerged(9152)]

Uzbeks are easy as pie, they're no challenge. You basicly rape the Timurid Empire...

You want a good game, play as Zimbabwe, there is nothing more fun than waiting 200 year for someone to pop up

China is a real rollercoaster. Things go damn well up until the fall of the ming dynasty then all hell breaks loose

maybe i mucked it up but i went from owning all of asia east of india with a tech that made the neigbours look silly to becoming manchu tucked up in the corner in an hour or two

fun tho

 

[Vulture]

I recommend Algeria to you... Try to recreate the Moor empire

 

[Peter Ebbesen]

Nippon, Tibet & The Timurid Empire

I dont recall Orleans being in eastern europe and athens albania and byzantium being in the west. I think you have your eyes on backwards

Try Morocco for a change. They get good solid leaders, and once You annex Fez (and than Algeria) it should be a peace of cake to rebuild the Almoravid Empire that stretched from Timbuktu in the south to Toledo in the north. Vijangar can also be fun.

Dammit. Those should be reversed. Sorry about that.

golden horde - its not easy

 

[Faeelin]

Hmm.
Venice is my favorite nation to play, despite the lack of events. You get some pretty good leaders, and you have a lot of options.

Aragon that's hostile to Spain is interesting. The two ofyou will wage war after war, but you have italian culture.

 

[unmerged(6925)]

I forgot to mention: I am playing 1.05. 1min = 1month does'nt drive me crazy It is just a test of will power

 

[unmerged(8570)]

Golden horde is pretty damn hard!! They get one event that almost wipes them out (unless they save up $$ out the ass), and then there's the year-long winter sieges vs muscovy and Lithuania not accepting my damned peace terms (arg)... but I'm playing that game with the goal of reconquering the mongol empire

Mameluks on the other hand are very fun to play, the land grabs from the timurids are pretty easy but then it turns into a colossal showdown against the ottomans
