Test of Time 4: The Art of Total War

[admiral drake]

Ok, I am becoming more convinced that it was a stupid idea that the scenario should've been chosen on as such. Since everyone pretty much was undecided on scenario, and the players that have been apart of the ToT series for longer pretty much all say 1453, I'll use my vote to make it the 1453 Scenario instead.

Since not everyone is happy with the original setup of nations, and that the scenario has actually been chosen for real, I suggest we do a powergamer's setup. It's perfect with 8 players. So everyone, it's first come, first serve.

England
France
Spain - I'm first!
Austria
OE
Russia
Sweden or Denmark
Brandenburg or Poland

england plz

Don't forget everyone today/tomorrow (Friday) 2000 CET we play!

Ok Pers has decided to play France, and John's in Austria. HG said after Venice, he'd want to play OE. I'm putting Rythin in Sweden since he said he didn't mind. I'll use Daedalus' generator for the first 50 years, and hope I can catch taelyn sometime to see if it is viable to use his for the rest of the time.

Well now the server's back up finally I can say that was an awesome first session.

Can someone who has the save please make the stats so I can get it. Mulli left when I was at 97%. o I need to do some editing (giving me spanish leaders since leaders don't change when tags change, generating some more, and checking out if sweden is salvagable for Rythin).

Heh, so-so session, though i must say its fun to paly in a relaxed 8-nation climate again .
I dunno about this, but is it possible that Poland could force Lith to peace out with me through edit? I was kinda tired last session (despite being an eu player, i am not used to being up at 2 AM) so did lots of mistakes the last hour .

 

[unmerged(10894)]

Heh I'll take a look at it, but if you can't beat AI....

Thing is, i should have peaced the GH ages ago, since their Cloned Hordes from Hell were one hell of a pain as it was. When they were finally about to die, Lithuania just decided in her AI wisdom that it was the perfect time to attack .

I'll check it out and see. However part of playing is about taking the different knocks and dealing with it.

I've given Sweden some money, a little cavalry, and 3 dp clicks also since they were AI during that time. Also made them peace and took them out of denmark's alliance.

Indeed. As i said i was close to sleep and the whole request was quite opportunistic, as the discussion of edits was going on. Not like i am expecting anything anyway .

Hi guys,

Off-Topic, but I am recruting ppl for the new edition of Europe's Golden Age. It is a sunday game. Plz visit our thread: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=172876

Heh I'm glad or else you'd be setting yourself up for disappointment.

P.S. Looks like we're a 7 player game Rythin just told me he can't play after all.

 

[unmerged(10894)]

Med has ICQed me that he can't make it tomorrow so we miss a Poland. Just so that everyone knows for future, you should try to look around for a sub if you can't play.

Also I've decided to make the game start 30 minutes later at 2030 CET unless anyone objects. I just remembered after last week there's another game at 2000, so this way there's a little bit of time in between and then shoulnd't need to use different channels and it may be a tiny bit easier for subs if needed.

 

[Dago]

if u wanna me join as new perm sweden,u may start at 21 CET
but i may ask some edit,if i hear smell of screwed up

 

[unmerged(35435)]

I might be able to play, any nation acctually, though i pref. Sweden, Poland, Spain, or Ottoman Empire.

Is any of them OK? If not choose some other nation. When will we start then?

 

[King John]

We start in about 15 minutes. Do you have icq, kalkoman? Either way, meet us in vnet in the eu2 room about that time and we should have a spot for you .
