I'm about to have a change of terms, and an accompanying change of schedule, but I'll probably at the very least have all my weekends totally free. Or most of them. I'm not too studious, though, so many of my weekdays would probably be free too, in the evenings, so 6pm and onwards (GMT/UTC +2 / EET). Tuesdays I have already dedicated to EU4 with some of my friends elsewhere.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

1) Timurids (do they even exist at 1444 in vanilla?)
Yes! They are very much divided culturally and religiously, so a bit of purging is necessary. Or tolerance, if you will. But only the tolerant tolerate.

Or just go the historical route to India and fuck-all to the non-Indian provinces.
Just leave the unaccepted cultures be and go for Delhi and the rest? Does that work, or would you have to create a Persian vassal or something, or just eliminate the unrest, or?

In my timurids game, I just went ahead and converted a lot of the cultures that I don't accept. Took the Defender of the Faith, picked the decisions for missionary strength, chose piety whenever possible, hired an inquisitor... and things are looking up for unity. I'm slowly expanding into India, too. Baluchistan is my vassal, and I saved Qara or Aq Qoyunlyu (spelling is probably not right) from the other Qoyunlyu. I am practically the United States of the 1400s. Yay genocide and imperialism!

Myself, Venice.
Erkki:Portugal
Giraffe:Japan
Isdar:Castille
lijacote:Muskovy
greatorder:Sweden
Ispil:Timurids

If anyone has any issues with this, speak up or forever hold your peace.

I'm changing apartments this weekend, but I think my contract will allow me to host either at my old place or at the new place. So yeah, sure, I can host this Saturday. I'll have to check again that I can host, it's been a while since, and configuration always takes some time.

Any time is alright with me. What time would be ok for everyone? Would 4PM GMT/UTC +2 be alright? Too early, too late?

Giraffe:Japan

Quick note, if anyone else wants to play Japan, I'll go Majapahit instead.
Edit: Eh, I really don't like Japan in this version, having now played it. Hosokawa is now unplayable since it gets DoW'd by the Shogun within a year 98% of the time, the second best Ouchi isn't nearly as fast to unify as Hosokawa used to be, and playing the Shogun is still really boring. Definitely put me down for Majapahit.

Maybe a couple hours later, 7 AM is awfully early. Assuming I can get a good connection from Eagleland anyway.

4PM UTC is 18 o clock to me. 3 to 4 hours later would do better...

7PM UTC/GMT +2? I'm open to suggestions. :P I don't want to decide this autocratically.

I'm fine with both 4 PM GMT and 7 PM GMT.

Oh, that would be 7PM GMT +2, not 7PM GMT. I hate time zones for exactly this reason. :P Universal time, where are you. 7PM would be fine for me too, that'd be 9PM.

Additionally, what are people's thoughts on game speed, pausing and all that? How fast can you go comfortably, what would you prefer the game to go at? Speeds 2 and 3 are the ones I'm more comfortable with myself, with 2 a nice and steady speed for being able to react and plot and observe. A 3 is fine too, even if slightly less comfortable for me.

Additionally additionally, next weekend I won't be able to host, from Friday to Sunday. We can either organise a different hoster, a different day for hosting, or postpone. If we take the first choice, we should decide on the DLC we use, because the saves won't be compatible if one hoster has DLC the other one doesn't.

I usually play at 3 or even 4 in times of peace time and pause to make decisions... So for multiplayer, 2 or 3 probably works fine, and speed 1 if someone wants it for say a war or for the first moments of the game when theres a lot to adjust.
