Steamgroup for getting our community together.

Succession Game
We decide which country, settings and rules to play, then people get to play 20 years, upload the save and next one takes over.
For example there were really nice EU3 Games:
TL Succession Game 1 (Sicily)
TL Succession Game 2(Alsace)
Without further ado:
I wont pollspam here, lets just say normal difficulty, no bonuses and random lucky nations to spice up the world. If you prefer something else, state so and we discuss it. EU4 Vanilla for first game.
Main point to discuss:
Nation:
Medium Nation to not blob instantly but have something to do the first 100 years? Thinking like Sweden, Venice, Poland, Burgundy, Naples, Denmark.
Ideas:
Ideas are very important and shape the country, so the lucky person to unlock an idea should not decide the next 200 years on his own. My idea is to just vote for first idea after deciding on country and every next idea gets a vote before its about to happen, which should be doable with a few active players.
Responsibilities:
Claim within 24h
Playtime maximum 72h, if you dont finish your 20 years, just upload your last save
Dont do bad stuff on purpose. Failure in no problem, throwing is.
AAR would be nice, Screenshots give flavour but dont want to force it
Upload Savegame
PM the next in Line
Just state now if you want to take part and players will play in order of reply. Make absolutely clear that you want to play and be aware of the responsibilities.
I'll create a list so everyone knows when his turn comes and if you are short on time for a week or something, just post to get moved down a spot or two.
Discussion is open for a few days until we feel there is a consent
Mutliplayer
Maybe too early? Again Steamgroup.
Depending on how many would be willing/determinated to play, we could discuss setting up a multiplayergame for 2 to maximum 4 hours a week on a given time/date. Would suggest minimum 4 players, 6 would be optimum I think. Not gonna spam the post now, but if there is enough feedback I would like to set something up.

Probably too early. I still haven't picked up the game (waiting for some kind of reduced and/or all-included package, dlcs are annoying).
|
I'm definitely up for this, no real preference for nation since I haven't played most of them yet. I agree with using a middle sized one just not one that's too hard since some people are likely to be very inexperienced.
|
how about a nation in the indian penisula? lots of early game brawling to go around and end game dealing with super high tech but super streched out euro powers.
|
I would like to set up a multiplayer game as well, as I feel I have a fairly good intuition for the game as of now.
As for the continuation game, I vote for Muscovy.
|
I'm interested. I'd rather play without lucky nations though, it's a pretty annoying concept.
As for nations, I would suggest one of my personal favourites, the Hansa. Another possibility would be playing a medium German power (Brandenburg, Saxony, Bavaria). Those offer a lot of possibility without being too big, and it's pretty hard to blob with them because you have a ton of neighbours getting aggressive expansion penalties on you (I played as the Hansa and tried to go for German unification a bit too aggressively, got a coalition of basically every minor neighbouring me + Brandenburg, them being allied with Poland AND Lithuania, died pretty quickly, so yeah, you have to be a bit careful).
|
I'd be interested in MP. I joined the steam group!
|
lets first narrow down what region we want our first game to be in then we'll talk about what country specificaly we want.
so scandinavia germany east europe and inia-asia is I think a good couple to chose from.
|
Joined the group too, I'm also interested in multiplayers, never played EU like that, but could be fun!
|
As for succesion: So far i played Korea, hard but doable, but extreme tech/monarchpointmalus so not really fast paced and western nations will stomp you 1700+.
Sweden was really nice, has decent start with some income and several possibilities.
Right now Brandenburg, HRE is tons of fun which i didnt expect, alliances and big wars 24/7 and smart diplo vassalisation/annexing for peaceful progress is so cool.
Ill notice every suggestion and narrow it down when we gathered a solid amount of posts so we can make a final vote.
Multiplayer feedback should include your prefered time/date/day + Steamacc. Ill update the second post for informations.
|
poland as "medium" nation, yea uhm, they are kinda one of the strongest nations.
|
I would also suggest using one of the balancing mods, which also grant the 1399 start date!
|
Id join the sucession game. As a medium nation I would vote for Morocco.
If the starting date is 1399 maybe the byzantine empire is an option.

If we put the more experienced players as the first ones, it's doable. May need a few reloads, though. But I'm not really fond of it. You always end up blobbing with it, because there is nothing else to do (no focus on trade since you are on the back end of the Mediterranean and would not really profit from trade outside of it, no colonisation prospects)... Once you survive the first years and stabilize, you can call it a win and start a new game, really.
Morocco could be interesting. It's in a good position to colonize, be it towards south America or by expanding to sub-Saharan America, while still having the need for westernization to stay competitive later in the game.
|
Oman, got some nice special national ideas, good position for conquest, trade and colonization.
|
I have never played MP in any EU game, how does the game speed work?
|
Host decides the speed and everyone plays at that pace. Can change speed like in the SP
|
I just bought the game and I would like very much to play. I joined the steam group, my nick is Mambo. I played EU3 and colonized Americas as Denmark once, that's about all my experience. I have, and am watching a lot of lets plays so I would guess I'm mid tier.
|
Not sure for how many players we should wait to get things going, succession game maybe 10? Multiplayer should be 4 at least I think. There is no need to hurry, people are still figuring things out and balance patches/mods might improve the experience anyway in the near future.
