How about such rule - one is allowed to bash pagans/muslims only during crusades?
And then, if those are non-european pagans/muslims, you're only allowed to bash them if they own crusade target.
What do you think?

Ok, is there anyway we could compromise a little bit further, like 10:15 or 10:30 EST?
Lol, Sterk, we already compromised 2 hours.
As of me, it's no big deal, but I am not sure about other players.
It will stay as it's now unless other players agree.
After all if we have this rule that we can bash pagans only during crusades, you won't have much to do first hour anyway..
By the way - how do you like the rule?

Just to refresh, I will not be able to play for about two weeks, since I am currently playing my EU2MP on Sundays. After that, I will be able to join.

Fair enough. I'm not sure it will conserve european pagans as long as one would wish, but it's a simple rule and thus a good rule. I'm behind it if everyone else is.
BTW, binTravkin, considering that two major players would be absent this first sunday, should we perhaps consider postponing the game until next sunday? Or is it fine as it is?
Sterkarm said:
You do value your sleep, don't you?
Again, it's no problem on my part, the question is what those requesting an early sunday start think.
Varyar: Concerning Sterkarm, if my memory serves me right, he attends church then.
Although being an atheist, I respect other people's views, so Im okay about postponing it to 11 EST, 18 GMT as far as other players are okay with that.
I have to give some special attention to my woman tomorrow we've been separated for a time, that was the reason I cannot be there.
How are the other players about one more week of practice, planning, diplomacy, plot and finally some rule clearance?
That would actually be perfect.

Not that I know of. The few who have commented seemed to be in favour of postponing the game for a week.
However, if there are a bunch of people on V-net you might as well play a MP game anyway

Me and Sterkarm have talked about what realms that is "optimal" in the sense of EU2, to give the most powerbalance and fight. We came up with this:
1) France
2) England
3) A scandinavian power
4) a second scandinavian power
5) Mediterranean power in Italy or Iberia or Greece
6) Poland
7) Russian power
8) Second Russian power
9) Byzantium
10) German power
11) Kiev/Hungery power
12) Iberian power.
With these realms we think it would offer most "fun" and "challange" to the MP games of CK.

I'd just like to say a few things about the current realms. While the competition in Western Europe looks to be fierce and fun, in the east, Poland is unopposed. There is no Hungary, there is no Kiev, no Russian power AT ALL. Furthermore, the Scandinavian powers will be too busy fighting each other to stop me from moving into Russia. Just so all of you know, I am a competitive player, I thrive on conflict, I love to rip through countries like a machete through cardboard. No humans to my east won't stop me from expanding east like a fiend, but it will make it a considerably less fun game for everyone as nobody wants to see a Poland unopposed.
EDIT: Furthermore, I'd like to strongly, strongly encourage AAR-writing in this game. While, unfortunately, AARs in March Through Time fizzled, I believe that writing AARs in a game spanning this much time is crucial to create an atmosphere of being able to change history. One can look back at AARs and either remember his nation's time of glory or see how much better he has made his nation. In 1802 when Polish general Tadeusz Kociuszko leads a cavalry charge through the Russian line at Smolensk and kills the Russian usurper to the throne (thereby ending the Russian rebellion and restoring Polish reign over all lands north of the Balkans from Hessen to Siberia), I want to be able to remember when Poland was on the ropes, being pressed on all sides by the Danes, the Germans, the Bohemians, the Baltic Pagans, and the Russians, that in the end, it was Poland that triumphed.
Now, to encourage AARs, Lurken and I have come up with the following reward: either +200 prestige or -.2 BB penalty for writing an AAR. Any other ideas?

And me having seen it, I can promise you, it is not a fun thing to see Poland mustering well over 300k, when the rest of you can only muster a total of 400k or so.
Actually, I was going to ask about switching from Bohemia to Hungary anyhow. I booted up the mod and began getting anxious about being surrounded by Hungary and player-controlled Poland, Germany, & Italy...
So anyways, I'd like to take Hungary if I could. It would allow me to check Poland a little more effectively, plus balance Russia and the baltics a little better.
Oh, and my ICQ # is 260832667.

Good to hear that, now we only need someone in a russian duchy to transform into kingdom of Rus.

That would be great actually. Message me at BigEgoSteveo, it's my AIM name.
By the way, I think it would be good to have two russian duchies if possible, but we need at least one or I will go rampant.
While I believe that polish megalomania could be contained with proper alliances, I agree that the current players are a bit unevenly distributed.
Regarding that list it looks good, assuming we can gather enough players. A few comments though:
*We could use a scottish player, or else England have a very comfortable situation.
*Two scandinavian powers might be a bit too much. There are better areas to put an extra player, such as Balkans or Bohemia.
*Should we really have a player as Byzantium? It's a very powerful position to be in, considering that we're using the 1066 scenario. Byzantium should, at best, be on the verge of destruction once we move on to EU2.
