Don't you guys play Magni Mundi? I thought everyone played that?

If you switch nations whilst playing MM, it breaks a lot of triggers. Also, MM isn't really for everyone.

I've tied playing MMP2 and it was just too masochistic for me since I don't like to play the nations that already "won" in real history. Also the interface doesn't really keep pace with the depth of new options you have. A full page of provincial decisions is very hard to manage for example. Piracy? EXTREMELY annoying if you have many ports.

I am in awe of the Magna Mundi devs ability to create to most realistic alternate history simulator and I like the concept but I prefer fun to historical accuracy. I'll stick with vanilla Eu3 and it's world conquests as Georgia or whatever :P

I haven't tried much of Manga Mundi ultimate for HttT so I might fire that up and check if I can get into it knowing that I still can troll the shit out of history like I normally do.

It's Hyo's turn is the HttT continuum. I'll send a PM and is no response comes in a week we'll skip.

Doesn't anyone want to play so IN? I can't since I've upgraded to HttT.

I have to ask, am I the only one who has never actually played a complete game of EUIII?

I either

A) get bored
B) Get pissed at something
C) Forget about the game, then start a new one, then don't feel like going back.

I only recently completed one, and I was only at war with technologically inferior opponents for the most part. Was still pretty fun. Alas, I lost the save moving my Steam directory.

I know I haven't played further than the beginning of the 16th century from the 1399 start. I prefer to play short, 30 year periods as a given country with some set goals. Most fun were probably returning Byzantium to glory or forming Ireland.

But 400 year spanning world conquests do sound like fun. I guess I just don't have the tenacity to pull off something like this or this.

It doesn't look like that Hyo person has been online for awhile, send a message to that Intelligent Shade of Blue guy instead? Or let me take her turn? :3

Divine Wind is coming out soon! We'll have to switch to a new save!

Divine wind's been out for nearly a month. Steam just isn't selling it yet.

I got Divine Wind from Gamers Gate.. I could do some uninstalling/reinstalling if I'm needed for HttT (i own all the EUIII stuff through Gamersgate) .... though as far as I know I would be playing from my own save...

Sorry, failed to notice that. I guess then either Autarch or Farseer will get Hyo's turn instead.

I'll jump in as Moscovy or Novgorod and try to unite Russia, if no one minds. I'm a bit worried about that big beige blob, though. :< It looks armed, dangerous and Muslim.

Magna Mundi messes up if you switch nations. Not so bad everyone plays the same nation, but note that a lot of the MM stuff is long term. There's actually a lot of times where you want to get a loan in MM to boost your long term income, unlike in vanilla EU3. Taking over from an incompetent ruler could be a pain. Or it could be Fun :P

I could make a thread to see how many people would be interested in a Magna Mundi(MUU or MMP2) succession game. I predict that we could collapse any country within 3 monarchs.

A single incompetent ruler could probably collapse a country in MM.
