Let us play: Victoria 2 The new Byzantine Empire
« on: September 27, 2011, 02:40:19 pm »
Gameplay starts on page 2

Hello. I just bought this game and I've some free time. We should hope to survive as some 1 region uncivilized minor play it!

The first order of business should be to choose a country!
This is a list of all the countries present at the start of the game. However, it is possible to release a country (ie. Ukraine from the Russian Empire) which I'd be happy to do.

I will warn you that posts may be infrequent next week (if this lasts that long) so I may end up uploading the save (If that's even possible which I don't think it is) or waiting a week to resume. Although, it hasn't taken me too long to finish a few games already.

To put it simply, Dwarf Fortress is the Black Metal of video games.

From what i remember Belgium is an easy to manage country with a decent potential.
If you haven't played the game (demo?) before, this is what i suggest.

Whereas !!ALCHEMY!! has, since the times of Kings Arthur and Charlemagne, been about transforming oneself into a horse using feces.

I actually bought it about a week ago so I've gotten a few games in, only as like the USA or Japan, no really difficult ones. I did try to play as Uruguay though, which didn't turn out well :)

Greece is a good nation.  They start out behind, but with a lot of potential.  Plus you can restore the roman empire and who doesn't want to do that?

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

Euro 2012.

(It's a Paradox game, even 1 province uncivilized minors in hostile wastelands get special events.)

Victoria tried to move away from country specific events for better or worse.  Countries that only existed for a few years of this time period like Ukraine were pretty far down the pecking order.

Greece-> Byzantine Empire -> Eurasian Conquest -> World Conquest.
