There's that function 'search and replace'..;)

Well go right ahead then, good Sir :D
 
We're playing this sunday 15GMT as it seems.

Free realms:

Iberia - Aragon, Braganza, Castile, Catalonia, Galicia, Navarra
West Europe - Bretagne, Burgundy, Scotland, Irish dukedoms
Central Europe - Bohemia (probably Germany)
East Europe - Polotsk, Pronsk
Balkans - Byzantium, Croatia
Scandinavia - Denmark, Sweden

I guess those are all for now.

I think I will go with Polotsk instead of Italy this time. I don't want to be a German puppet all the time.

Except for the case nobody is Germany, which would mean the balance in this area is ok with me as Italy.
 
Because it doesn't work.. :D

Polotsk is a brave pick CSK - its the weakest of russian principalities and I actually dont think we need so much people right there - if we have Kiev/Novgorod, Pereyaslavl and Poland, Polotsk seems to overcrowd the place.
It would be best if you decided upon seeing how much of the people have gathered in first session and whether Lurken is still with Germany or not - which you will see then.

I've also forgotten to add two realms:
Alania
Nubia

Im curious if anyone would care to save my butt a time or two if I go with Nubia..:)

Well, Polotsk has the easiest pickings with all the Lithuanian heathens. And for Poland, we could have a Russian alliance. :D

Alania as neighbour of a human played Georgia and Cuman is suicide. As Nubia is. And don't think anyone would help you if the Fatimids attack, he wasn't even allowed to by the rules (Africa and crusades, you just said no conquest in Africa, even if you help your ally).
 
Well, Polotsk has the easiest pickings with all the Lithuanian heathens.
This one I really doubt - just by knowing that Polotsk can get 3k troops max by first crusade, while Poland 20k+, and then Kiev and Novgorod both have claims on Polotsk - almost as suicidal as Alania I'd say.

I probably wont be taking Nubia - just checked and it's a bit too weak to make sense - 1k troops dont really equal to being competitive.

I thought of the same, actually. It would be awesome to play arabian for once and whine about the northern barbarians :D

Sadly, Nubia is pretty much doomed. I suppose we could always try to boost it somehow to make it playable though. An Egyptian player would really spice up the game.
 
What, CSK in Polotsk? But how will we conspire now??

Btw, how long are we planning on playing Sunday, like 4-5 hours?

I don't know yet, if there is a Germany, I don't see a reason why I should play it.

But I generally think the yelling about the strength of Italy, and the total need of another player there is too extrem. Germany could always field more men than Italy could. But instead of saying, two players are needed there all mean you need Apulia. Spain and France would also be stronger than Italy, which is united rather an average Kingdom.

Yes, I know, the lands are very rich, especially Venice is really high, but I generally don't breed, which takes them the power. Italy would probably have never been such a monster as in the march through time because of that.

I think like always so, yes.

No need. I think with significant effort on H/A it can pull off something good in 300 years..;)

EDIT:
CSK, regarding your problem in Italy, and mine in Rus.
Firstly you've got it solved if Apulia is there as that halves your potential power.
Secondly, I think we should make some ruling against whining. If you dont like your neighbour - make an alliance and go kick his butt, not whine for generations just how evil he is - it takes A LOT of fun away from the game.

Well, I could always go and just annex a player if this is what you want.
 
No, read the post again:

1. I said that noone will probably whine at you this time as there will be Apulia to balance you out and prevent you taking whole Italia in short order.
2. I said that we should stop whining at all. If someone dislikes someone's elses size/expansion/cash amount/whatnot, just get an alliance and DOW - no annoying speaking about how it's unbalanced etc.
 
Sterk, could you post the rules, so people get acquainted with them?
 
Ahh, and cont me in as 'The Valorous King Of Nubia'..;)

Heh :D I wish you good luck with that, you'll need it.

EDIT: and yes, I would support a "no whining" rule. It'd be more fun for all if discontent could be channeled through more RP-like diplomacy.
