I think I would like to stay out of France/England/HRE unless we do a 100 years war game, but Spain could be quite fun actually. My preference would be the Americas game, but a standard one could be fun as well with the reconquista.

Plus, the names are familiar without being completely mundane.

I have to say that personally neither the Americas campaign nor Spain really appeals. I might join a Spain one but I wouldn't get involved with the Americas. Not into beating up on indigenous peoples!

Fine by me, feel free to voice any particular ideas you have for a magyar game. I will look into Rusichi more closely and try to draft some ideas in the next few days.

Might be good to post a thread to find out who else might be interested and what they think about the setting, before you do too much work.

Much as I have my opinions they may not be shared and we can't play an RPG with just me and you!

At least you guys have swords and pikes to fight back with! I quit the only time I played Americas after my fifth or sixth comfortable long distance gunpowder massacre of defenseless villagers. It just seemed really wrong!

In that type of situation I see what you mean, but that type of things is happening in medieval battles to if you think about drafted peasants beings stood in front of armored knights.

The way I see it, in every war you are being horrible and cruel to somebody, and that overwhelms any concerns about who lived there first to me.

I never actually had the patience to play vanilla up until America appears, but I've heard some horrid accounts of half-naked Aztecs massacring Dismounted Chivalric Knights by the boatloads. At least in vanilla no cavalry = dead conquistadores. By the way, if we ever set up a hotseat for the Americas and you guys let me play the Apache I'd wipe the floor with New Spain. Having Jihads + 15/15 melle/ranged attack bowmen? Bring it on gunpowder boys

Ya the gunpowder units in Americas are actually quite underwhelming in my opinion, it all comes down to mounted units, which wipe the floor with anything that isn't mounted.
