SP vs MP

[Johan]

IIRC, this mod was designed to be a mp-mod firstly, that was what Archduke said to me first.

In fact, you just answered me in what I was questioning about in the core with this thread. The direction which Aberration would be going in future. I am also a big fan of democracy and if majority of contributors want to concentrate on SP, I believe I'll remain mostly as a passing critic instead of actively participating in creation, for me EU2 holds interest in MP only.

I agree with this as well, and doubt I'll continue to participate in the mod if it goes towards SP.

Johan, if you don't want to participate, so be it too. You don't participate in the AGCEEP, yet that mod has great prestige too.

The difference is that in Aberration I was one of the main participants. I designed Brittany & Scotland, made parts of Burgundy, and other things like Gaul Division and random evemts.

Everything in the mod work was always geared on making it properly balanced for MP, since vanilla is not really balanced in that aspect.

It's all well and good that most people can do amazing with, say, Bavaria in SP, but I can tell you just by looking at the start up that in a MP game, one of the first things I would do as the Hanse or Hungary or Burgundy, etc. would be to gang up on Bavaria and in one war completely crush and annex them, just as happens in SP. It just makes sense, from a tactical, strategic, and economic standpoint.

ehmm... no.

Bavaria ruled supreme and alone in MP versus multiple enemies when we played.

Otherwise, I fully endorse the opinions of CaptainBOB and Ericus1 : AI is the best available proof of the power of a country, with the exception of colonizers (

I do not agree at all, as the AI in eu2 is pretty abysmal at "fighting" a war.
Any nation geared towards being a strong military nation WILL perform much much worse as an AI nation.

Then again, the economical and colonial AI ain't better.
