The patch was a performance hotfix, it didn't really touch the balance, I'm sure it will come soonish though. I might want to join this game, but I'm still quite inexeperienced.. Add me as a reserve and PM me if it turns out you need more people and want me to join. | ||

Im currently playing as savoy and that was an interesting play since all the diplomacy you have to do with neighboring powers. Wouldn't mind trying venice out or denmark. | ||

I think you should look at small nations that have unique National Ideas. There are a few interesting picks. | ||

Since the thread started quite a while ago, everyone posting from now on can claim a spot and will be playing in order of reply. Check out first post for related things. Ill create a vote for first national idea and upload the save Saturday 10:00 GMT (+00:00), so first one can start playing. If we hit like 10 votes for Idea I would upload faster, its just that first idea is very important, so I wanna be patient. Fast summary: Claim spot, download save, play 20 years within timely manner, possibly post AAR with pictures, upload save and pm next person in line. Now for the game: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/6QKSZiS.jpg) Starting as Denmark, medium sized european country, so nothing fancy for starters. They start with +5% trade eff. and -10% ship cost, so their focus is roughly trade+naval, most notable national idea is +100% naval forcelimit as 5th idea and -33% naval maintenance as 4th. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/aOlXz4p.jpg) Grabbing some tradeships while keeping a few transports just in case, we start to net roughly 5 ducats per turn with minimum land maintenance. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/b8EXSNa.jpg) Played the first 6 years to 1450, so we have a clean number. Thinking about the situation, I took 2 advisors. We have spare money and already some temples so we dont need to stack tons of money before we hit the lvl 5 admin tech and a pretty weak ruler without heir. Prestige because we keep our personal unions with Sweden and Norway and Diplomatic Reputation because it increases our chance to inherit the PUs and increases our diploannexspeed for Holstein. [/center] Plans for near future would be: Diploannex Holstein and saving up Diplopoints for kickstarting national idea. Which national idea first? I narrowed down to Naval, Trade and Diplomatic. Keep in mind that while naval is very strong, we already have +100% naval forcelimit incoming, but also -33% maintenance, so we probably can afford to get maximum forcelimit. Diplo is very handy with keeping/diploannexing our neighbours while maintaining strong infrastrcuture by saving admin points and finally trade would mean tons of gold in the future. Poll: First National Idea as Denmark? Diplomatic Idea (4) Trade Idea (2) Naval Idea (0) 6 total votes Your vote: First National Idea as Denmark? | ||

If we inherit norway, we could go for exploration fast, since we'll get Iceland, it's fairly easy to grab Greenland, then colonize north America. Naval is fairly good. You never have enough force limit. If we want to wage war, we should do it early, while we still have sweden + norway as allies. Not sure if we could take on the Hansa right away, but that would knock out our largest competitor in Lübeck. And give us a hefty boost to trade power since their cities have massive bonuses. | ||

Diplo will allow us to snap up all of scandinavia pretty dam quick. There are 2 major places we can take the danes as I see it. We can get involved with russian politics much like how british gets involed with french politics. this is much weaker mid game but solves the russian problem which is the biggest problem late game. We can go west and colonize north america (would have to take ireland from the british one day) and become a rageing naval and trade power. I voted for trade beacuse we really don't have to worry much about other nations attention for a long long time if we don't fuck with the HRE. Takeing lubeck and going for the money route so we can afford the massive navy (that we have to rebuild every few diplo levels) and have 3 colonies running at all times. Shit and I'll take the spot after the guy above me. | ||
