Wanted: Players for more than 10 minutes.

[Duuk]

What I would like is a game where players play for more than a short evening. The reasoning is simple: You make decisions differently in a one-night game than in a long term.

I'm a long term player.

I'm sick of 12 year olds on v-net only playing a short game and acting 100% ahistorically just to powermonger.

Threating your neighbor enough times so that he declares war on you, and then refusing to accept peace, is not nice.

LG and PE, actually.

PE threated me a dozen times (he as Spain, myself as France), and then has the nerve to be confused when I DoW him.

After whipping the tar out of him for a while and getting his allies to leave him, he rejected peace even for Rousillon.

Then, after 4 more years, he starts to push me back and won't accept peace with me for anything less than my destruction.

All the while, Portugal, England, and Austria (LG) cheer him on.

So I just sat in my capital, reduced my Catholic slider to 0, and waited. When he still woudn't accept peace (white peace followed by 1200d after I repaired France), I left the game.

"I don't want money, I just want to show you I'm boss and don't mess with me."

This is a total waste of EU2. If I wanted this, I'd be playing Age of Empires (which is fun, but not when I'm in the mood for Grand Strategy).

I was using threats to balance the game. I had no intention of war, but in 1496 you invaded me. You outnumbered me over 2:1 plus your almost infinite manpower pool. Your mixed armies were no match for El Gran Capitan and his all cavalry. You besieged all the way to Leon, but I won every battle except for 2 against Foix. In December 1498 I got level 11 tech with imporved CRT. I began to push him out of my country, but his persistant invasions with little annoying 7k armies didn't cease. I got Portugal in my alliance and they besieged Bearn and the Navarre-controlled Catabria. My armies pushed yours back and by 1501 you were at -3 sta, sizzling with revolts, and I controlled Guyenne, Gascogne, and one other province with 2 more under siege. You had kep building infantry, but my cavalry kept winning. I had destroyed your army. The point of this war was not to take all of your land and turn you over to war exhaustion, but to show you not to mess with me. What really annoyed me was just when I was punishing your aggresion you left the game. The game was ruined for myself and the other players.

why does every one pick on me? AND for the record im gonna be 15 in february still it seems every one picks on me jk but yeah i was their and i was out of this war completely i was going back and forth almost joining france and almost joining spain, but i was such a BB though i was to tied up so...... but it seemed like a normal war to me, england was on france's side oddly and portugal was with spain so it seemed and unbalanced war against spain, but they won and it would seem Duuk took it badly, thier may have been PM's going around i dont know but seemed like a normal game to me, and i minded my own buisness which is odd because im always in the fray usually...... and am i a bad player that i get pointed out as young? that bothered me.....

I sent and received a few pms. In the beginning when you got in bb wars France wanted to team up with me and kill you. I said no and that any aggression against Austria was punishable by war. Duuk considered this one of his "threats" that gave him a precident for war. In November 1495 he was at my border with a huge army and it caused me to raise my army from 35k to 57k. He asked me to apologize and I did. He attacked anyway. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I was confident of victory. It's hard to invade Spain unless you are very skilled since attrition is high in the Pyrennes. The only other pming I was in was strategy with Portugal.

i was just on vnet and i was "shunned" by duuk (exact words) a whole bunch of other people were in their to and they wouldnt talk to me, duuk said i was a "powermonger" because i was in bb wars in 1498 in a 1492, i was only in bb wars beacause i annexed baden and wutemberg in a singel war, i personally thought that was bull $&*% even Kyran joined in he didnt talk either.... their were others also.........
