How would you guys feel about a 50% culture for 50 years to aquire rule?

It's a bit sad that cultures like dutch, portugeuse and polish can't be claimed otherwise.

Would only be for european cultures thou.

Sounds good. With a limit on how many cultures could be claimed perhaps.

Few European nations have more than one alternative European culture close to them they could realistically hope to gain. Somehow I doubt for example that France would be able occupy 50% of England, Spain or Italy.
 
I absolutely and strongly disagree. Why ?


Because that rule will only be for very big nations. it will help nations that already expanded enough, we should help for exemple the ones who are the last (for example, each 2-3 sessions, the weakness nation (with daniel power rating) can get one culture or some cores or a tech boost for free).

Strong nations doesn't need to be stronger.

Agree.
 
I'm ambivalent towards this rule. Of course, as Russia it favours me as I can get Lithuanian and maybe Polish, with some effort and bargaining with neighbours, but if other nations feel they don't have the same opportunities, I'd rather drop it.
 
I recon there are 5-6 realistic cultures to be claimed.

Dutch 8 provinses
Swiss 4 provinses
Portugeuse 6 provinses
Polish around 10 i think
Lithuanian around 10 i think
Basque 1-2

Allowing cultureclaiming of these cultures will make them all a lot more interesting, and thus promote more wars over them.

They all have 2-4 neighbors who could be interested in gaining the culture and thus it's unlikely that anyway will willingly allow other nations to simply take hold of them.

Even Portugeuse is not secure for spain, as some might fancy a nice southern hold to stage the exploration from.

We could set the limit at 1 - that would still allow the cultures to be claimed but will need more planning from all players.

And that OE with it's 7 or 8 cultures are against the rule counts less in my book, no offense Pepsi.
 
ego's mod wasnt balanced so that people could claim cultures I think, so I disagree with having them.
 
Well it was also based on having a few more players, but it doesn't matter to me, i'm not really in a position to gain anything from it myself.
 
Beleg is now unable to play on wednesdays due to new drama classes, and asks if the game can be moved to friday/saturday. I for one can't play on those days.

So we need a new spain ASAP - start spamming your icq lists.
 
I will play Spain.

nabu, the guy that talked smack about england being sucky in the other game only because he thought it was played by ego only to have been drake all along?

I'll pass.
 
Basque culture was eradicated from the face of the map iirc. It was only taking manpower away from spain and i did not want to grant spain another culture.

Everyone starts with all the cultures they need. Adding the posibility for nations to get extra cultures will grant them extra manpower and thus unbalance the game. Any nation that is able to get polish and lithuanian culture will basically have the manpower of Poland and the manpower of their own nation, in other words, they will have the manpower of 2 nations.

I do not advise adding extra cultures to nations, but its your game, not mine. If someone gets too much manpower (ie: Russia or Brandenburg after getting polish or lithuanian culture), i do hope i will not hear commentaries about how unbalanced the mod is. ;)

In that case we will not have the ability to gain extra cultures.
