Re: The Thirty Years War

I haven't had the chance to send out PM's with all the stuff about this game. But I assure you they will be sent later today. I will let you know when the game "officially" starts(unofficially it already did:beam:).

Re: The Thirty Years War

Now, I want to show Your starting territories:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

https://i259.photobucket.com/albums/...e_kingdoms.jpg
F - Fort
P - Port
C - City
Flags - Armies(Navies will be represented with flags on Sea later)
All those white hexes represent neutral provinces. You can easily conquer them but it would be nice if you could at least think some IC reason why you occupied them.

I'll send PM soon.

P.S. I thought that perhaps I can get 5-6 players. But 13 players suddenly makes everything so much complicated. For me, not to you of course. :beam:

I like how, of all nations, the Ottomans and Russians have no armies.

Didn't Spain control Milan at this time, IIRC?

Re: The Thirty Years War

They were later add on factions just to balance things. Otherwise Austria could easily destroy Transylvania and then the whole Balkan and Anatolia would've been easy prey. That's why I added Muscovy as well - Poland and Sweden could have conquered the whole Eastern-Europe.

Yes, they did. However , for the sake of gameplay balance(and to let Savoy at least live longer than 2 turns) I made it "neutral". I sound like Creative Assembly :sweatdrop:

Even worse for me, there is an army right at my border and my only goal in the entire is to unite the Netherlands.

I mean, I could offer a generous offer to Spain like "give me those territories, I will manage them and run them, and I will share the taxes 50/50 with you." But I doubt they would accept that. :sad:

Hey don't worry about it man, I'm very impressed with what you have put together, as I'm sure everybody else is. A one man CA game would have 2 factions, no armies, no map and would be decided by a single die roll.

Beskar - Firstly, You don't know how big that army is.
Secondly, enemy units can't enter adjacent hex of city(and fort).
Spain needs Siege Artillery before they can attack you.~;)

And look at what else Spain has to deal with, you can focus all your efforts on one task, waiting for one mistake. Poor old Spain has to look over both shoulders, under the bed, in the closet, behind the curtains and still might be caught out.

I-K, the economic and public order maps we can ask for, I take it they are for our regions only and not the entire map?

Re: The Thirty Years War

This is outrageous! I have one of the largest nations in the world, and you don't consider Jerusalem, Cairo, Damascus, and Antioch cities!? And where the hell are my armies? Fighting in India!?

That's it, Russia, we need to start The Coalition of Nations That Could Totally Kick Everyone's Ass if they Only Had an Army. Or TCONTCTKEAITOHAA or short.

Nobody ever wants England as a friend, they might ally out of necessity...

Aww, did the little Duchy of Savoy hurt big, bad Englands feelings? Shouldn't you be off opressing the Irish, rather than worrying about proper European politics?:whip:

Oh noes! Whatever will I do, I have France to my west, Spain to the north and potentially coming up the southeast... :inquisitive: :sweatdrop: :idea2:

Hey England, buddy, how are you? That little bit of Savoyard humour didn't really hurt your feelings did it? :laugh4:

Do I have to invade Malta before I can get Atlantic Trade taxes? And then lose to a Scotsman?

Malta is a worthless rock. Even us non-factions know that.

Double A, I think you mean Gibraltar, not Malta. Although both are useful military naval ports.

Just a question, what are the rules in regards to the NPC's? (the white areas in the map)

Are you playing them yourself, Ibn?

ohh ok, Thought you must have meant Gibraltar because Malta is not bordered to the Atlantic, so you could not get the trade bonus from it.
