Hi this is my first post so firstly I would just like to say Hi to all you guys. I have just recently picked up Victoria after playing EU2 and loving it and HOI and not really liking it. I would have to say Victoria is my favourite game out of all three as a student studying the 19th century I find this game fasinating and very engaging. However what would make it better for me would be interactive flexible diplomacy. After reading a thread on this page where every player acted in role as his leader of a country I was in awe at how amazing diplomacy would be with human players.
So I would like to start a MP game with others were about 8 people or maybe more (if that is possible) pick a country and really get into their role. I hope that this thread is ok as I assume this is how MP games are started and I would really love to start a great game of Victoria. Anyway hope to hear back from you guys, see ya.
 
Hi Haden, and welcome to the boards! This is indeed the way to start new MP games. If you can't find anyone, you might want to join our Tides of War game - new players are always welcome. We are, it is true, slightly running out of Great Powers for new players, but Japan is free, China and the Ottomans are down but not out, Switzerland has a vast army and could be a powerful player in Europe (provided you don't mind four Great Power neighbours ;) ). Or you could substitute for a regular player, should one turn up missing - that would be an easy introduction to MP gaming. Check out ourdevelopment thread - you might or might not have time to join us this week, but I'm sure you'd be welcome next week.
 
I am also looking to start a new game, but I will be out of town most of next week. I havn't played MP since 1.01, well tried to play anyway, and I have noticed that there are still problems with it, so I kinda want to get with a couple people and test things out, then start a permanant game once we know the ropes. If you want I can probably play for a while tonight or maybe tomorrow sometime. Let me know when you are free, and maybe we can start a new thread to recruit. BTW I got dibs on Prussia!
