I don't know much about the Multiplayer side of EUIII, I love Singleplayer though!

Check your Manual, I read the whole thing before palying and there are about 2 chapters at the end devoted to Multiplayer. I know it is a hotseat type.

Have you tried any mods for EUIII? Magna Mundi is on my list when I've finished my awesome English campaign, any oters you like? I am thinking about buying Napoleon's Ambition.

I am playing England and I've conquered Scotland, Ireland a bit of France and some provinces in Eastern America (Plus I am trying to colnise Bermuda and St Helena area)
