Victoria Multiplayer Session

[Jolt]

Since apparently we have quite some players of Victoria: Revolutions in this forum, I was wondering how open are you guys towards making our own ".Org Ricky multiplayer session"?

My kind of idea (One I have done so before with extreme fun) was for us experienced gamers (Ex: Jolt and Khaan) to be great powers, taking on countries which are powerful, but which imply having to multitask with many things (Economy, wars, budget, etc) as the game keeps going (Which means we'll have to play with a setting ranging from Very Slow to Below Normal), while the innexperienced players (Ex: Tratorix and Meneldil) play as a regional powers which will be under the protection and guidance of one of the Great Powers played by the players.

The experienced players would give advice in the chat to any questions the newbies ask, as well as providing money and techs so the newbies can be kept reasonably on par with teh A.I.

I once did this format exactly, with me as Germany and a friend (my Protectee) as Belgium, while the other experienced player played France and his mate played Sardinia-Piedmont.

Obviously, we can work in another format if this goes ahead.

I like it! Also I am in for a regional power slot (not good enough to do a Great Power). I've never done MP though so are there things that are different than SP? I heard teching happens much quicker.

Sure. Might take a spot of work getting a time that will work for everyone, though.

[Jolt]

Yeah. Usually when its games with Americans and Europeans, the time is usually somewhere in the evening of GMT. So imagining it's like 11 PM GMT, it would start in the Americas on the afternoon. 5/6 PM.

Monk, unless there are some modifications to the game teching occurs at the normal rating. Provided you can get enough Research Points, you'll be gifted plenty of techs by your protector. (Provided he can maintain his research rate fast enough as well.)

I'd be up for this. Would we be using a mod, or just vanilla?

[Jolt]

I'd be in favor of using VIP and following somewhat historical guidelines (No blitzkrieg expansions, where Germany owns half of Europe), except in Africa, where it would be a "everything goes" and where we can use our blitzkrieging rage we held in Europe.

If noone else wants to play, I'd say we do it by the same format (Prussia/Germany+Belgium or United Lowlands - France+Sardinia/Italy)
