Just remember, if you're independent of me and therefore a threat to me due to everyone else being so aggressive towards Poland (and looking to you as an excuse), I will not help you with the Mongols and will probably devour Suzdal if the world attacks me. They might be able to destroy me in their little World War, but the weakest are always the first to suffer. The weakest being Suzdal and Denmark...
Who says we have to be enemies? I'm sure I could rather help you... for a price.

Well, undoubtedly, the rest of the players will try to use you as an excuse for war and promise you that, upon Poland's defeat, you shall receive the crown of Rus. Now, I'm quite aware that the Kingdom of Rus might be exactly what you're demanding of me...

Actually, the kingdom of Bolgar would rather be what I'd want to get from you... since as long as you remain king of Rus, you'll have your hands full on the western front and generally leave me alone. ;)

(but then, the Mongols are coming and could try to come back if driven out - being king of Bolgar is not a light task during the 13th century)

Besides, I don't have any claim on the crown of Rus at the moment...
 
Well, as I understood it you hadn't definitely decided to play Suzdal yet, so all these heavy-handed threats may be a little premature. :)
 
I'm quite interested in Suzdal though, since it could put me in an interesting position when moving over to EU2... IF I manage to get where I want to be, that is. It's my #1 candidate of nobody else has any better suggestion.
 
Gack... just had a look at my calendar, and it seems that now is not a good time for me to join; while I can play this Sunday, I can't the Sunday after that, and on the 3rd Sunday from now I'll be busy studying for an exam. After that, I should be free however.
 
Well then you can just skip two sessions. Blackeye's missed three in a row and Byzantium is still going strong.
 
Hmm. Perhaps this would be a good time for me to mention that in September I'm moving to California. I'm going to do the move as a road trip, so I will almost certainly be out of touch for three weeks or so, and then it might take me a bit of time to get an Internet connection set up. So if anyone knows someone willing to sub for Norway for an extended period, please tell me. :)
 
Okey shogun...what do you want to play as? Any ideas?

And it would be clever to get ICQ, it is the dominant chatprogram we paradoxians use when coordinating MP games.
 
The first post is up to date. So is the map.
 
I wouldn't recommend Germany...it is pretty dead nowadays....with Burgundy looking for the crown of Germany....you could survive as Germany, but it would be hard.
 
Bohemia is open and rather nice. With its position smack down in the middle of Europe. You would be open to play along with other players, for as long the price is right....you could shift wars to your liking. It is a hard place to be, but a benefacteral position.
 
shogun,

Read the thread starter for the March Through Time post. It has the latest information as well as the day and times we play. I do hope you can join us.
