Maybe this would be not bad. As we play MP I would go with the second hardest. Hard/Very aggressive or how it is called. Actually you should update the scenario bin. You forgot there is a Serbia.
Btw. I have uploaded the scenario, it can be found here.
Some powerful Russian principality would indeed be nice if you took, but be aware that it means early struggle with Poland.
I would also like to change my country probably - Im doing an AAR on Navarra and I know it's a bit too weak if next weakest opponent has 2 times the provinces as it.
I could give Georgia a try probably, or a Russian principality in case Duuk chooses something else.
I'm game for a Russian Prince. I suppose I should grab the modified scenario and decide who I should be. That way my friend Sterk in Poland and I can lay out our spheres of influence early.
Pereyaslavl - very good monarch and heir.
Kiev - probably best position to save Rus from West, about to inherit Novgorod and become double.
Polotsk - pagans in Lithuania zone should be fair game for you, so a good choice probably to become king of Lithuania.
Anyone know how to make a mod-dir work for CK? I'm trying to use the files in that scenario, but I am not going to copy over my vanilla install for it.

The mod is done by me. It won't harm your vanilla except for two things. The dynasties in Wales will be the ones Drachenfire suggested and Italy will be dark green. The scenario itself doesn't overwrite the vanilla scenario.
Regarding the dynasties - it will probably be implemented in next beta anyway, so don't worry and I guess the color change isn't anything major at all.
When would we play? We haven't decided that yet, or?
No. Everyone should just post what he would could play.
Duuk, another point. You could make a copy of your CK folder and call it with touch of Astrea and overwrite this one. Then you would keep a vanilla 1.05 and have a new one for the mod.

I am thinking of Friday eve or Saturday afternoon-eve by GMT.
At least that's what preferred for most people (although one was against Friday).
Friday sux. That is the evening I'm of RPGing with my friends.
Saturday is quite weak for since, I am trying to become more active in dating and being a scout, it happens that I am away from my computer.
But between those two, saturday is the better one. But prepare that eventual dates that precedent to MP games. So it might just better if I am a sub or something. Maybe a players that bounces around playing where it is needed.

I would love saturday afternoon-eve. I think this is the best for most anyway.
The one is to country.csv and will only change the colour. You can go without it and will still be able to play. The other one will, as binTravkin said, get into the next beta anyway as it is the right one, but just too late to be implemented into 1.05. (AFAIK).
EDIT: And please. For further talk about the mod use the discussion thread of it. A link to it is in the post you can download it. (CSK has received the trait lazy).
binTravkin - I was against Friday, but that is because i am playing another MP game as you may already noticed. I may be able to still play at Fridays, but only after 19:30 and only a few hours. About the dificulty i would prefer Hard because the "grabbing cost" is only half if compared with Very Hard. I really think that 5000 prestige to grab a simple duke title is pure madness. Yes, you can simply eat counties one by one instead, but did you ever heard of reputation? Agressiveness, i really don't care, but i think it should remain in the max, so that the AI will actually do something, like perhaps, declare war on someone's vassal
Well...I like high grab costs, since that would slow the speed of expansion. Which was shown in MTT(GG1) that the speed of expansion is really high, when you got the snowball rolling.
I would like to see high grabcost, since it would slow the game down, and forces you to marry for land/claims.
Well, that was exactly my point.
If you were in the last GG, called March Through Time (still going on) you'd see that on normal level it was just one crazy landgrab.
If properly played one can get high prestige easily and then there's marrying for land, accepting claimholders under elective law, finally geting claim events and finally excommunication.
Try to play a game with your chosen country and see how it is about claiming.
Varyar, i would only advise you to play as Denmark if you didn't have a HRE lying around: since i think this HRE plays good, he will grab whole pommerania and lubeck, leaving you without easy pickings. I advise you to choose Norway instead: not only you enjoy better protection, but it is also easier to bash some pagans, not to mention about smashin Sweden (unless that guy really wants to play as Uppland).
Norway is a bit too poor for my liking. I don't want to sit in a corner of the world for half the game doing nothing. Besides, there's plenty of pagans in the Baltic region, I can afford letting the HRE have Mecklenburg.
One alternative though could be to play a french or a german Duke. That could spice up the game a bit with some intra-kingdom intrigue.
BTW, a question for binTravkin: are the use of exploits prohibited/forbidden (examples would be marrying Agnes d'Aquitane, or give lands to pagans/muslims and crush them to burn BB)? I'd assume the answer is yes...
I actually now start thinking that we should not impose any rules on marriages - after all there are numerous ways how to cancel succession, like revoking the title, killing the kid, dukes wife (so he gets new one to spawn with).
