Thanks for all the advice. Right now, I'm thinking I'll wait and see if the game gets discounted more later on in the sale, and if not I'll probably pick it up on the 27th.
As far as joining in, while i have a good background in 4x games (Civ 2-4, Galciv 2, and even Star Wars: Rebellion) I'm pretty sure I'd just mess things up for Sicily. If things keep going well and Sicily gets too far ahead, I could just mess things up to make it interesting.
OOohh, Star Wars-Rebellion. I played a lot of that back then.

IT's your luck right now, Eu3 chronicles is at 11$ on steam right now, do not wait my friend!
Well, to be honest, it is at 60% until 28th, but there is a good chance it will go to 75% at some point in this sale, so waiting until the last day to get it is quite reasonable.
Edit: Sorry, i wanted to edit that into the last post. Must have somehow gotten the wrong button.

Burgendy does start in the Empire, both in D&T, which I usually pay with, and in Divine Wind

Fuck yeah, that shit was the shit.
Actually, in hindsight Rebellion was pretty horrible, but it had some fun shit. In one game i took Coruscant early on, and figured out that the empire would usually attack it if the fleet oribiting it was small. I proceeded to park 200 squadrons of xwings on the planet and leave only 4 interdictor ships orbiting it, and watched as they threw away their entire navy trying to retake it.
Fun times.

We were FAR too successful this game.
Bump up the difficulty for sure next game, or put on High Aggression. One or the other.

as was discussed. high aggresion causes a slightly harder early game (unless you are GB/genoa/venice because of navy hurhurhur) but the end game is just a mess. you are the only country left with any power as all your competitors insist on falling apart constantly due to overextension.
low aggression is the setting which keeps the game harder for longer, but i agree it needs to be harder somehow. this is why i said we should set some rules before playing (but i was ignored), because even in my go, there was never any real risk and i went to war with all the major powers, except none of them had a navy.

Play as someone other than Vijanagar (sp) in India, or in southern Asia where there are no forts :p

I disagree entirely with this difficulty talk. After familiarising yourself with the basics, (you don't even need to be 'good') the game ceases to be about any challenge, and more about doing stuff you want to do and seeing how the world reacts.
I mean sure, you guys can take Ryuku at Very Hard to get a game where you have to scum every gamey trick in the book for hundreds of years to succeed, but is this fun? For me, the game is more about the interesting counterfactual history than it's about a challenge.
Especially for a succession game for the forums. Imagine a Ryuku term? "So in my 20 years I just kinda minted and tried not to get declared war on."

I think something like brunei or aceh might be fun some other south east asia minor

Indeed. This is not about a bragging contest who beat the biggest odds.
I'd suggest starting the game of with some self made missions. Pick some arch enemies that must be slapped around no matter the cost. Make up some weird ideology (religion?). Or set some economic goals (all your cacoa are belong to us). Have several levels of difficulty, in the current game those could have been, dominate Italy (easiest), mediterranean empire, control the european trade (cots), take down france, disassemble the HRE (hardest). I'm sure we can make up some pretty fun ones.
The problem with giving yourself a huge handicap "to make things interesting/challenging" is that the first years will definetly be very boring (and probably not very beginner friendly).
Also I noticed ppl slacking quite a bit on the aar'ing towards the later stages of the game. Don't do that-  playing excellent 20 years = fun for you. Doing an excellent battle report over 20 years = fun for everyone involved/reading.
