The 24H claim rule is only there for the next player to confirm he will play. If he doesn't respond, the organizer announce it goes to the next player which also has 24H to claim and then 72H to complete. It may sound like a slow process but that's usually what happen with these game, if you're in a hurry to play a lot just play solo. You can also set a rule where if you miss X number of play, you are removed from the list (and use a waiting list if you have more players). Also you should wait for at least 6players, confirm the list and have a discussion/poll to what country/settings are used before rushing in. Just saying. | ||

I do not know if e-mail will accomodate the size of a .eu4 save file, but let's try all the same. | ||

so here I am at the start + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/t4fn3do.jpg) Not much to do really. I increase the army to the force limits beacuse I have money to and then wait a bit while the hoilstein and sweden improve relations runs. Until this happenes. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1er4bWJ.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/A2fzeVh.jpg) which puts a big hamper on my ability to integrate the scandinavian powers. I decide that I want to get norway first but I still need two provinces to do it. + Show Spoiler + So I enter into a coalition against the hansa and wait.... and wait. as it so happenes a few events go by and me wanting my admin points my presteige takes a huge hit and there isn't much happening for me to do for the rest of my time so I put things in order and wait for my coalition to trigger so I can get my provinces and control over the trade node. but then nothing happens and I'm board and can't do anything so after farming an alliance with a HRE power in the area or two (austria doesn't like me taking HRE provinces). I decide that I'll have to be a little... creative with how I get those 2 provinces now. enter the Livonia order. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/uDtyNGm.jpg) seeing them weak as they are and being allied to the hansa I plan on taking a province from hansa and a province from the good order (had a mission for osel anyway. I set to fabricating the claim and getting shit done otherwise (the 3 diplomats really helped out here. me having a navy vs the livs not having a navy I'm able to camp out the hansa pretty quick before preparing for my assault of the baltic mainland. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/UBxnKMT.jpg) Suddenly though they piss off norvogood and welp their entire army making the war less of a war and more of a scandinavian party. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Lo93bwe.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/oQp1CwQ.jpg) I spend the rest of my days putting down rebellions and whatnot looking around the world to see how its going. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/kHpSN3i.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/yadR0Ue.jpg) nothing too exciting but it had to be done and good luck to whoever gets to have fun dealing with the next steps on this game. | ||

-The integration of the Kingdom of Norway -Danish Conquest of Lübeck and Mecklenburg, escalating into a general war with Denmark and Brandenburg on one side, and Pomerania, Austria, Trier, Cologne and the Palatinate on the other. ![[image loading]](http://s22.postimg.org/7gsfy1g31/2013_08_24_00001.jpg) The war was terminated with the Danish occupation of Austria. ![[image loading]](http://s22.postimg.org/ojv7tjwrx/2013_08_24_00002.jpg) Denmark annexed Lübeck and Mecklenburg. Austria was released, but immediately invaded by her neighbours in her moment of weakness. The 1480s signaled Finis Austriae, decimating the Empire of the Emperor from which he might never recover. Denmark participated in a short war between Lüneberg and Bremen, in which no gains were made. In other terms, most gains were made in infrastructural development. At the beginning of 1490 Denmark is left with a sizable monthly revenue. Long-term worries: Border friction with England and Scotland. The conquest of Lübeck has made Denmark the target of a minor coalition, and the BB incurred will slow the integration of Sweden for a few years. In the long-run, France is becoming a major power in the west.

There's no point playing succession with less than 6 players or to be in a hurry to start a game, if not enough players then its too soon or not popular enough. Or use one of the two thread to see t least how many people would be interested. | ||

With experienced players only Denmark is way too straight up too, as it seems. With that being said, Im not sure how to figure out when a good time for a succession game is. | ||

- new advisors - some advisors also add navy/military tradition - rulers have traits (have fun killing your "insane" "idiot" king :D) - culture change takes a lot longer (cost still isn't that high though). | ||

I never changed culture due to the price and since he added a lot of -1 revolt risk I don't see the point. | ||

Also, non-accepted cultures increase stability cost (1%/province). But yeah, not that interesting usually. | ||

I'm not a fan of the monarch stuff where you get bonus above 3 and malus below. I get where it comes from but it's already bad enough to have a 0 admin ruler, no need to also add -2% missionary -10% tax etc... I'll probably remove that, it makes too big swings in what you can do (bigger than vanilla I mean) between a shit ruler and a good one. Also coring seems too slow (maybe it depends on the ruler didn't check), I wouldn't mind if overextension was easier to manage but its pretty easy to go above 50% overextension and the malus are already annoying enough without the need to wait 20 years for coring. So all in all, I like the rebalancing of ideas, governments and advisors. But some of the player castration mechanics, not so much. And buildings still costin a lot of points on top of it all... meh. | ||

Inflation reduction looks buggy, without anything I have a +0.1% inflation so I'm almost forced to get an master of mint just to get even.

Yeah, buildings are still useless. And I always manage to kill my bad rulers in combat \o/ (and playing muslim nations right now, no problem with heirs :D). For overextension, you have twice the limit with the mod. Coring is slow, and that's intended, but also cost less I believe. | ||

Not sure if I'm gonna keep using it, I like some of it but dislike other stuff. I'll probably continue since I really like the improvements on ideas. | ||

In vanilla, when steering trade, you increase the output, depending on the number of merchants doing it, it can reach up to roughly 50% increase per node travelled. The mod reduces the maximum increase to 10% to prevent trade income spiralling out of control. Pretty much needed when you look at the ridiculous trade income numbers people showed on the paradox forums. | ||
