Its tough. I'm GMT +10, Beskar and co are around 0-1 and who knows about Veho. At least one group of people has to be up late or early.

I would consider doing some DW MP, but have never played EU3 MP of any kind before. How does the game handle speed and pausing? I pause and vary game speeds a great deal when I play, so I'm curious as to how MP handles this. What other things should I know about MP that are different from SP?

For time frame, I'm GMT -5. My schedule is a normal work-schedule, so I'm available late-evenings on weekdays, with more flexibility on weekends.

The general agreement is a general speed setting, of 3 usually. Since its MP, speed in decision making and choices is a factor. The game can be paused by anyone, but it is impolite to do so unless you need to physicall go away from your computer. Speed setting is done by the host.

I pause a lot in SP as well, every time something happens, even if its as minor as a battle finishing. With MP, you don't really lose too much by not being able to pause. If you're really struggling, you can just ask for the speed to be lowered for a while.

Talking about this, dissapointed in Beskar, the one night where we could have gotten 4 people going, he doesnt show up.

Miotas and I have been waiting for 15 hours. Literally, for the last 15 hours, i've spent less than 45 minutes out of this chair.

The new way to play: The Metaserver!

Basically you log on with your paradox forums username/password. We (Miotas/Beskar/Myself) played for about 2 hours just now, lag free, and no hamachi. This is good news.

However, you need to open UDP ports 1630-1640.

I never could get that to work. : /

I'll get the ball rolling with the first reign and summary, and I'll keep take responsibility for keeping the game moving. The game would be in unmodded Divine Wind. I don't particularly care about the faction, so if anyone cares they can speak up. I'd be hoping to start this weekend, so quick responses on faction would be great. Feel free to chime in about the faction if you're interested in reading it, even if you can't play.

Please put any replies in the original thread:

Divine Wind is on Steam. Unfortunately, the Checksum makes paradox connect unworkable...

Basically, replace the .exe with one from GG then it works.

is there any hint that there will be a EUIII Complete V2 including Heir to the Throne & Divine Wind?

because EUIII Complete and Hier to the Throne are 80% off on steam right now, but i'd rather get a single 'complete' package...........

If you're buying through steam, you won't be able to tell the difference.

Johan has said that they might.

cheers Pevergreen.

i kind of want a complete DRM disk version, because much as i'm ready to accept a Steam game over one raddled with Securom or Tages, I will always buy a disk version over Steam if it is DRM free, such as a patched version Armed Assault.

They may not release one, and if they do, it may not be a physical one.

If its lack of DRM you want, get the Gamersgate one.
