- First the leader debate and the colonization debate should be taken seriously. This is after all also a MP orientated Mod.

- Also if you get crashes plz send the savefiles to my e-mail with the topic: Aberration!

- Multi-countries event chains. Especially Hansa+Kalmar and others are involved here. Or a bavarian-swabian conflict. Nik II. if you could contact me when you got time for the Kalmar?

- Colors. Everyone likes them as they are?

- Which events/ideas are not liked? I want honest answers. I cut the HRE unification last time without anyone noticing.;)

- How do you like the colonial event file? Good, bad, tweakable?

- We still lack descs.. Anyone want to take over Sheridan´s job?

- Genoa, well no interest there. She will be cut with the next version now.

- MP Tryouts, who would be avaiable for this?

- AAR to attract a bit of attention. Anyone likes writing AARs? I can offer screenie space.
 
You did what? Scrap the most fun event-chain in the game! :(

Though it was hopelessly overpowered, all those cores. But seriously, it is fun to try for total domination of Germany. It just gives Bavaria (with the best leader-file in the game) at least something to do with those leaders.

colonial event file isn't really great, though I dunno how it can be changed. In one of my games with Bavaria, Eire colonizes the Canaries. Within 3 years, I took it from them, but i don't get the core. This is not fun, especially as competing claims would make for so much more fun in the colonies, especially in MP.

And I *might* be available for some MP try-outs, but once we reach the end of August, I won't have much time for it.
 
Multi country event chains are something that just rocks. There should be more fantasy wars like there were interesting wars in history (ie 30 years war)

This shouldn´t be the case.. As soon as you conquer them, you should get cores on them very soon..

The HRE event chain is not totally dropped but will be reworked.. Most likely it will involve forfeiting Holland and dutch culture but I will see..

Working on both, some moving around of colours, and currently playing, taking screenies and notes, with Eire.
 
@Kaigon Hmm, it is random afaik. I will recheck the colonial events. This is not WAD.:(

@ForzaA This would be awesome!:)

They're not random, but I guess that's the only solution if we want those events to happen more than once. Of course, those events could be copied 10 times to raise the probability to appear, but the file would be much larger.

I had the impression that this was the case. Well I will redo it, as said.
 
Kaigon said:
I think the problem is that those events only fire once, therefore only the first colonizer will get them...

There's a technical issue - I couldn't find a way to make the event fire for more than one country, without it firing for the same country twice (or ten times, if you had ten events).
The events aren't random. Maybe making them random might fix the issue, but I'm not certain of that.

You could use the flag command to prevent it for happening more than once... especially since those tags are just country specific...

I could indeed.

If I have time, once I'm settled into my new house with my internet up and running, I'll try and tweak out the problems there.
That's at least two months away though.

temporary update: still in a "fight" with my new PC- apparently, EU2 causes windows to die :mad:

I have some 30 years played now, with notes, but haven't given it much attention alas
 
I am anxiously waiting for it.:)
 
After a long time without playing EU2 in SP (only CK), I downloaded again Aberration. As always, lot of fun. So, I could write an AAR and made comments soon.

And a MP tryout should be interesting. After all, this days people is playing all kind of non-vanilla scenarios.

Comments and replies:

-- I'm working on Genoa, don't cut them.

-- I figured the HRE events were still under development, so I didn't comment.

-- Leader/Colonization debates. Should no one else step up, I plan on filling them in for every completed leaderfile (to date) and making some comments of my own -- after I finish with the North Italian countries, that is. There are a few changes that I plan to start agitating for soon anyhow. :)
