Well to me, 1492 feels like the right date, since this is when Columbus discovered America, and it's the real start of EU2. Everything before that is just a prologue. And 1520 isn't as 'glamourous' as 1492

But 1520 has a better setup, as many things that can go wrong in 1492 have not :)

the 1520 setup does still need improving much though, all european nations have for example same trade tech and mostly same infra too, I think some variety is good :) certain other nations techs are fishy too. I did a bunch of modifications to the scenario we will be using in "ED". I also edited mainz out and its fabulous 82k army :) though mainz surely can be a good country to be in, as it was an elector.

Still I think 1419 with perhaps some tweaks to the scenario if needed would be good, since it hasn't really been done that much and can offer a lot of new things not tried in big games. It is a fun scenario. Sure it might see some alternate history take place, but if we have good players and some roleplaying it will be very fun.

Thanks for that bug report. I Hadn't noticed it. An 8000 inf that became 80000 :D Fixed in next release.

I made some more modifications to the scenario, most importantly adding merchants to cots, as they were all empty. I took them mostly from the 1492 scen but modified a bit acording to balance shifts. hope some of that may find its way to your release maybe :)

I am away in Russia in mid August. So I guess a July or September start wouldn’t be such a bad time to get going. I am heavily involved in WW2OL at the moment and I am also trying to reduce the amount of time I spend playing computer games and spend more time doing real life stuff.

This will probably be the last game I play this year as come October I am probably (60/40) off to do a PhD in Manchester and will have to do a lot of real life stuff so I can make new friends etc etc. I will also be very poor as I will be buying a house and I do not know if I will be able to afford cable.

Hope it all works out OK Ben. I may even have broadband by the time you get the next game going.

What's the PhD in?

Break my arm! and messages of “ are you still playing that stupid game”. Mulliman you always seemed so much more relaxed than most but now I am scared. ;) :)

Cheers Owen, It’s going to be on the revolution in military affairs 1990-present day with an examination of the impact in Iraq and Afghanistan. Although I am quite tempted to spend three years studying the military balance of power structures in 1492 to prove a point or 2.

Having said that its not definite.

Regards to good news I have had about another 10 unknowns ask me to play on top of everyone else who wanted to play. I reckon we can expect to see a lot of people showing up for the games.
