| VU EU 2009 aka 4 |
Alrighty!
We are planning a new game, it is likely to start next wednesday(not the upcoming wednesday) so we need to draw up a player list before then, please post here if you want in - or even better, come to #EU2 on irc!
We are planning to play the latest version of the interregnum mod(wich can be found here).
This is the first idea of country list the numbers 1-3 indicates my view of relative strenght, we are thinking that we're not gonna give the strongest ones[1] to our most fearsome players to make it more balanced, the [3] countries are not weak by any means - just start out worse(imo) than the 1s & 2s:
Al-Andalus[1], [The Caliphate[1]](only if we get that many players), Bavaria[1], Brittany[2], Hanseatic League[2], Hungary[3], Scotland[3], Savoy[3], Byzantium[3], Teutonic Order[3], Finland[3].
This means 10 countries+1 extra if we get that many players. If we get less players, Al-Andalus will be cut out.
Here is a short description of the diff contries:
[can colonize means they can choose to go that path and get pretty early explorers/conqs, colonizer means they almost always get early explorers]
Al-Andalus - basicly a superstrong moslem Spain, can colonize and basicly rule the world, subject to crusades though.
The Caliphate - kind of like Ottomans, but based in the middle east and *beep*ing *beep*icly strong.
Bavaria - interregnums equivalent of Austria, can annex entire germany with ease.
Brittany - France, but more leaned towards trade/colonizing.
Hanseatic League - Venicelike, but in north of germany, colonizer.
Hungary - a backwards balkan giant, can colonize.
Scotland - basicly replaced England and can inherit Norway.
Savoy - southern france/italian country with a strategicly poor location but alot of options, colonizer).
Byzantium - well, Ottomans never got them beat =).
Teutonic Order - replaces Poland, well sort of, can crusade in Russia.
Finland - replaces Sweden - kind of, can colonize and/or grab a piece of Russia as well.
SIGN UP NOW!!!!(only for experienced players)
By this wednesday we want to have assigned countries.

|
|

|
Koss, do you have any experience with EU2?
(its kind of an requirement since its a hard game, if you dont, download the game and we will tutor you so you can be in our next MP)
ALSO, we've not set an exact time yet, but expect it to start sometime around 6pm GMT(we want to start as early as possible).
|
Awww, I doubt I'll be able to play. I'm only moving back to good internet on Monday and still don't have EUII on this comp. And...hopefully I'll be busy :D Good luck to all of you!
|
But dude, from Monday you have one and a half week to download it(wich takes like 10 minutes on a fast line) and plenty of time to get resettled.
|
Yeah, the game won't start just yet.
|
Ok, seems we will be playing tuesdays instead. First session will be Jan 13th and (hopefully) start by 18.00 GMT
|
Some other updates:
Ghouma is in.
Osi will play Byz, Nimic Savoy
You can pick what u want, only, the stronger players doesnt get the strongest countries. So get your ass into the chan and lets hook you up =)
|
Ooooohh. Alright, I read it as playing on the 8th, oops :P. I'm in!
|
Have you played EU2 before?
You should show up in #eu2 on irc.utonet.org
|
I would like to play as Scotland, if it's taken ill go anywhere available!!!
Also, I used to play this game frequently but I sold the cd when I sold my old computer. Can someone link me to a download?
|
Download
Deamontools(needed for install)
Latest Patch(scroll down to EU2, this also gives no-cd)
Wiki - read new player guide
Have you played MP Barney? And can you make it to the designated time(Tuesday 18.00 GMT)?
Also, Scotland isnt seeded as one of the strongest countries, perhaps we will want u to play one of the giants depending on your skill lvl, get in the EU2 chan on IRC and we can talk it over =)
|
|
I'd like to try Finland or Hungary =)
And only if we play on tuesdays! I'm not availlable on wednesdays.. Work. =)
|
I have not played in quite a while. I had France for about 3 rounds before, so I kind of suck but understand the basics.
Yeah, I chose Scotland looking at it from almost a Risk-like viewpoint. Put me on whatever a newish player would be best with, I am goint to the IRC now.
Yeah, I can make the date and time.
|
Actually, talked to Spoon in IRC and decided upon Al-Andalus; sorry for triple post barely missed edit.
|
Meh...my mIRC is not being happy right now, or I would be there. Any ideas on fixing that, btw? It just won't connect when I try, gives a little click, holds up for a second and then nothing happens.
On a happier front, I just transferred EU2 from my other computer and patched it with the interregnum mod, sooooo I'm going to get back into playing it and get ready to beat all ya'll down :D
|
teutonic order looks good.
|
Oops, also, I have played before, MP once as well but on a dialup connection soo...bleh. Anyway, I believe I'd like to play brittany.

Depending on what kind of players show up we migh shuffle the nations to make the *beep*s get stronger or whatever. So dont be afraid to sign up and start training men!
|
Barny did you play under a different name?
|
Everyone needs to try to get on IRC (irc.utonet.org #eu2) and idle. We need to be able to talk to you, and this forum isn't the best way. It's still more than a week till we play, so it should be sufficient time to work out IRC problems.
Also, everyone will need to be able to show up every time we play, and if they can't (and hopefully it won't be often) tell us in advance. If you haven't played Multiplayer before, we could even do a little test, so we know if there's anything that needs to be worked out (routers and whatnot).
Other than that, good with some new blood! :)
|
Finwe, I played it with some friends before but not with VU.
I've been going by "Barny" for over 20 eras; but for the last 10 eras or so someone had been getting my name occasionally; and I have to go with "Barney". He has adopted a last name now though; because in our periodic name wars whenever I get the name Barny if he go it the last era, I kindly inform his kingdom members of his love of bestiality and kittens.
|
|

|
Some people in the aurora KD forum has expressed intrest in playing. Hopefully they have already started training ^_^
|

|
I think Swifty wanted to play, possibly maybe could be?
Also, Rev, have you played the game before? The screenie suggests so, but I can't tell =P
|
You also need to make absolutely sure that you can play at the appointed time every time.
|
Someone named rev the forum hoe... dont ruin our game if ur not attending. Try if you are able to play multi with anyone in the IRC chan.
|
Swiffers is HANSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
and does it require hamachi this time around
|
Everyone, please take note that we might change your country, atm there are only imba countries left for me. Swiffers, you mind taking Bavaria instead?(or is Swiff too good for that?).
|
I haven't played since last ye*beep*u2 multiplayer, so the idea of being a central power wasn't too pretty. I want nubcake country
|
Well, we kinda decided to put the nubiest players in the best countries. Me playing Bavaria = You in deep *beep*. Tho I guess if we get another player you could go for Caliphate as well, or we just move Rhade from Brittany to Bavaria. Me and Nim in France then :P
|
Looks fun, and I want to play, but I've never played before.
|
Also, we should decide on rules!
What about?
*No maptrading untill 1600, and no maptrading with AI - ever.
*#Proves an alliance(official or not) can claim / player in one war: 2 <1500 3 <1600 4 <1700 5 <1800> unlimited. All provinces out of Europe, and Byz/Caliph cores, count as 1/2 prov. Manufactury/shipyard/cons. center counts as 1/2 prov untill 1700. CoT counts as 1 prov. You can never take more than 100% prov value(ie cannot force fakewar to get more).
*Difficulty V HARD
*Agressiveness WEAKLING
*Colonial Events OFF
*Alternative Reformation ON
*Cores Events ON
This is just my suggestion, any thoughts? In the provtake rules I added cost for manus mili expansions wich means a European prov with Cot, shipyard, manu costs 3 points and cannot be lost before 1500, and even then, its expensive.
|
Whats Bavaria's colonising like? I don't mind trying it, but I don't really want to play as a central power and be suffocated and landtied as my first game back. Something less stressful than a austria-eu2-like country would be nice
|
Well, if there is another player then u can take Caliphate, its kinda landied but not stressfull at all since you only have one human close neighbour and since its kinda one collossal superpower already at the start of the game.
|
We could do two random draws.
One with pro players and nub countries.
One with nub players and pro countries.
Then we won't have this *beep* with who's who =)
|
Colonial events should be on for MP. The FAQ even says so ^^
Also, I'm pretty sure Rev couldn't play because he couldn't be there at game time.
