well, i guess im in......



only problem i have is the claiming of duke or king titles of the AI. do we have to ursurp them, or is that the same? whats the reasoning behind this? to get all players to try to inherit?


also, do the canaries count as iberia...?



hopefully well get more for this, anytime to play is fine with me, id prefer earlier(my time) so i can have my friday night......

I think I would want to join in as a russian princedom. Maybe as Novgorod? If so...I vote for saturday.

 

[Sterkarm]

Well I'd consider.

 

[unmerged(17489)]

I'm interested for sure

novgorod has the richest prov in europe and is way to remote unles we got alot of players , if you don't mind i have to ask to look for something more in the center-west

 

[Lurken]

Aah....I'll look into it then...maybe Wales, you know that duchy there..Gwendwyn..or something like that.

 

[unmerged(7276)]

hmm dunno if im interested in a duke game. Dont think they work well mp.

people spend 200 years playing AI
by the time i get 1 kingdom the better players will have 3 or 4 of them
some players will probably get annexed and have to switch
there will be no reason for players to compete with each other - they will just be playing in their own little worlds

 

[unmerged(17489)]

cheech, I think you're too much into the eu2 mindset. You have to think about CK for what it is, the feudal system in CK doesnt allow for the same sort of grand scale world wars and balance of power like in eu2. If you want that, you should play HoI or EU2 (and maybe Victoria), but CK is a different sort of game, with a different sort of multiplayer. I'm not saying we should play AI bashing all the time, but that there are more ways of interacting than grand scale wars. Assassinations is one thing, for example, that I think was heavily under-used in KotN. You can defeat an opponent just as well with a well aimed dagger and nice intrigue stats as in large scale wars, even if you have way inferior manpower.

 

[unmerged(7276)]

the point is people wont bother competing(playing) with each other. Balance isnt my main point. My point is i want to feel like players are close by me and not off in some distant land.

with duke game the AI controls most of the world. Why does anyone want a game where AI controls so much. Its like playing SP to me.

 

[unmerged(17489)]

I think assassinations, excommunications and intrigue are excellent ways of interacting, they just weren't used in KotN

 

[unmerged(7276)]

that isnt the only ck game ive played you know. Why will people bother assasinating and genrally playing with each other in such a game as this. They will play the AI and ignore other players until maybe 200 years into it. duke in france will play in france. duke in denmark will play in dennmark.

anyway, why cant we just play who we want. if you want a duke fine. I want to be a king.

Why not gather yourself another group who wants to play kings and let those who prefer dukes play dukes among themselves

 

[DPM128]

well, for compition purposes, we could all pick a duchy in germany, or something like that. i think we just need to group our players. everybody doesnt have to be in the same area, but i think 3 at least should be in a general area to stop expansion and try to keep the balance of power stable.


like 3 in england, 3 in poland/hungry would be fine. people would have thier space to grow still but someone will be close enough to keep the balance of power....



the only problem would be if a player droped out or someone couldnt make a game. the balance of power could shift dramatically in that game is someone is unchecked....

why dont you mind your own business? do you want to play here or something?

Besides me, drake and dpm were discussing this before the thread was created so i see no reason not to make my opinion heard. Im not dictating just debating.

actually kinda agree

what about this we all take dukes/countys in france-germany-north italy (excluding flandre stil ) unles we have enough players in that case british islands-iberia-scan can be starting position ect (3in france/3-4in germany and north italy should be priority

all family ties will be cut eitherway once i figure out how btw so don't pick youre choises based on what you would inherit easy in normal 1066

no playng whatever you wan't will lead to inbalance quick , 1will be a king other a duke wheres is the fun if 1can play king of france the other wants duke of bourgogne ?

so well stick to dukes/counts only you can deside if you join or not but it will be as a duke

 

[Lurken]

Okey...if it is HRE and it's vincinity then I think I want to play as Bavaria.

 

[unmerged(46833)]
