How does the Multiplayer look? EU and EU II MP sucked when they came out so I'm a little concerned.

what?

Looking away from the two drawbacks (unstable with several crashes and the fact that it was not possible to change speed during mp) the game was made for multiplayer if you ask me.

As with most games in the genre, single player might be a tutorial to the game, but the game is experienced in it's full glory in mp. This applied to EUI & II and HoI and I expect the same from Victoria.

How do you mean that multiplayer sucked in EU?

Sorry the Stability of EU II was terrible when it first came out. EUI was always bad. You needed tons of patience to get through a crashy game. The Beta testing appeared to have been geared mostly for single play. It didn't seem to be corrected until Johan appeared to have started playing mp or got around to fixing it(patch 1.06 I think?).
The game itself is amazing, hence the reason I've been playing MP forever. :D

So I'm wondering how the stability of Victoria is for MPing. Mostly the stability issues as I'm sure Paradox will patch up their game.

Multiplayer stable?

Given some of the stability issues that I've encountered with EU, EUII, and HOI, how much work has been done on the MP code? Is it more stable in Vicky than the others?

I remember a quote from Johan saying Victory would be the most stable MP game paradox has made. I hope I remember correctly.:)

The stability of both EU2 and HoI depend much on the connection you use. When I used to play on 56k, I crashed every 10-15 minutes, when I moved on to a T3 at college or even better have a LAN game, there is maybe one crash every 3-4 hours of gameplay. And Vicky will be more stable than that, so that means crashes is one thing we will not have to worry about, now the AI...?
