You are all picking obscure european minors that don't turn into France or Spain? This should be interesting to watch. 
LordLeto-- I kind of made the concept of the meeting to be in 1418, before game start...but with the idea of you three already being in alliances at start of game, the meeting will be far more interesting...We'll have to have the alliance start at a different time, but an informal alliance could be done anyway and the meeting gives us all time to introduce our characters.
Liquor Club fellows: Wow! Kind of sounds like a university fellowship club, doesn't it? Anyway, check your emails. I have sent the IP address and the start time for the test. Nalivayko may be late, so in the end, it just might be just LordLeto and I...but at least we'll know if I can even truly host properly...

Great, now we have a place to call our own
PriestOfDiscord, Bohemia is not an obscure country!

I just did a hundred years as Genoa in SP to see how it would be...It was horrifying....About 10 years in, both Austria AND Castile DoW'd me...tried it various ways, went bankrupt twice, and only have Piedemonte, lost Kaffa and Kerch to rebels who became Crimea....I'm beginning to rethink my choice...with over 57% inflation...Rethinking as becoming Bavaria...Any ideas guys?
This is beginning to look good!
LordLeto, congratulations for the selected country...
Amric, you have a CoT and still not satisfied?

Well I retried Genoa...Figured out what my problem was...it was Piedemonte...Lombardy causes some issues, but I figured out how to deal with them....
Alexandru- It's not the CoT, although keeping any damn merchants in there is bloody difficult. It's the massive attacks from nearly everyone even though I only take one province...but it was the wrong province...plus if I put royal marriages with France, Castile, and Austria....Kept the wolves off of me...
I think I'll stick with Genoa...after all...now that I have figured out how to play them...

Thanks Alexandru. Hey you know of any info about Romanian claims on Roman decendance, I read about them but the book wasnt very clear. I know Romanian is a Romance language.
I think once I get to Vlad Tepes Im just going to Ignore all the other princes are write him as an imortal like Amrics character.

Makes sense...although... A vampire...will you portray him eventually more like the Nick Knight character in Forever Knight? A bit of softer, gentler vampire?

No not a vampire, but perhaps clever enuf to proigate that image to his foes, but his imortality will be spun as a gift from god to the Romanian people. Wouldnt quite do the Romanian people justice if I went around playing into sterotypes of their hero.

It was a television show on late night starring Gerant Wyn Davies...great show...but nevermind.
LL and I tried a test with MP. I couldn't seem to host, not sure why,but I am guessing it might be my router. Shouldn't be, as I thought that had been addressed in the patches. LL may try a different country though, Wallachia starts pretty poorly. Plus at above normal game speed it runs REAL slow. Plus I couldn't DoW, for some reason. Would let me try...but nothing would happen.

Wallachia starts poorly, but it has CBs on Siebenburgen and Moldavia, has an additional culture province in Dobrudja, 2 leaders....
LordLeto, I'll try to find one. Yeah, it seems we are brothers of the French and the Italians, but for some reason, they left us behind....

The germanic hordes swoopingdown and destroying the western empire might have been part of the problem....
