after couple recent games with all kinds of edits and such...it's a perfect time to start one that is pure and original. play with whatever country has to offer...nice.
I still like edit for AAR at least.
i suggest GM should have a game setup page, just like every other game so that people would more likely to sign up.
My availability: MON, WED, THURS, FRI nights.
My NAtion choices: China/England
My fav mode: Bocaj 1.09
the Turks fought very well in the first 2 phases of the war. OE fleet kept on beating the French fleet at the island of Crette, causing the french rebuilding her fleets twice.
The Turks was blamed for expanding wrong direction which is taking control of cores in europe first. i think OE empire did the right thing since that must be done in most MP: expanding to europe quickly then turn to east. it\'s deadly if OE sitting there waiting for the France coming over first.
Turk in Bocaj is in bad starting form. cencus tax only 90 with all those provinces..a joke. while France starts off so easy.
but a loss for the Turks indeed, but the OE empire has showed the French a great deal of battle exp. the only thing forced OE to defeat was RR, 4 diff religions, huge Stab cost. and that was why OE tried to rush things up by sailing to Genoa and defeated there. The Fight was never a fair one. if not, the French could never pass that stragetic island Crette.
France Empire met no difficulty to expand in Rich porvinces EUopre with same religion.
Turk EMpire rushed in taking back all cores in Europe before the French coming over. But met so many different religions leading to high Stab cost, slow tech, low income.
Here is the Island of Crette where OE Fleets under a shock 5 admiral many time beating on French fleets trying to sail to Thrace; most of French feets were destroyed, and rebuilt twice, It\\\\\\\'s called the Crette_ the Island of Death.
Here is the turning point for France when OE had no choice( due to high RR, v.v.) trying to sail to Genoa with 15 WS + 100 Galleys+ 70k troops to completely cut off French supply in Italy. OE already blocking Gulf of Venice.
In a nutshell.
We put that game on the back burner because we had new players. Sid screwed up Brandenburg, and double crossed Moscow. A random person from vnet took Austria and created Germany before he quit. Moscow took most of Lithuania. Ottomans are growing nicely. England had a jolly time prancing around France. Lastly our late player played musical countries Bohemia, Burgundy, Portugal, then finally Dreamland.
It has been fun. However, i do insist on sticking with 1 game because i am sure each of us likes to carry out his nation\'s plan to the end. It is rather disapointed everytime starting new game if we have new players.

Went pagan-bashing in the New World. Discovered California. Reached Infra 5 and had a Governorgasm. Screenshots in the morning once I become coherent again.
Taking over Spain from the AI, and its job hasn't impressed. Plenty of explored seazones but the rest is incoherent, scattered settling and ships arranged to sink as soon as a breathing person takes the wheel. Oh well, c'est la vie. Woefully expensive colonization is made easier by enormous English loan; Guantanamo is the chief beneficiary. Cortes lands at Tampico and attacks the Aztec Empire. I forgot to increase troop maintainance properly so I lose the first two battles; after that Tenochtitlan falls and Aztecs are annexed. The Maya are beaten up as well though not annexed in their entirety. Glut of conquistadors; one is sent up the Pacific coast, another up the Mississipi river, and one into the darkest Amazon. But he dies. Almost all of North America discovered but little settled due to the expense. Incas attacked but they throw up what appears to be several million soldiers at me and only money is taken. Colonial empire grows slowly. Granada randomly converts. Missionary to Saltillo suceeds. Governors in Toledo and Castilla.
