So, Is nobody playing as the Papal States? I'll finally pin my choice on them if there's no problem with that.

I would prefer no one plays with the Papal State. If you really wish to, I won't object however.

Alright, I was under the impression that we didn't have any italian countries yet. I'll stick with my original choice of Majpahit in southeast Asia.

Ok guys! We now need a Castille. If anyone wants it just say

To balance out the map nicely a Russian nation would be nice, so if anyone (Norway and Brandenburg, I'm looking at you) wants to swap that would be great. It's not a huge deal though, so don't worry if you don't want to.

In case people don't know how to reset their checksum to normal:

1.Go to the following directory: ...\europa universalis iii\map\cache
2.Delete every file in that cache folder and then start up EU3.
3.Exit EU3 and start it again, you should now have the correct checksum for your version.

This doesn't 'fix' a steam checksum though, but there probably is some other solution for that.

I found the solution for the steam problem: back it up using steams backup feature, delete the local content and reinstalling should work (I just deleted the content and redownloaded because I was at the uni earlier today). The checksum problem arises from the way steam deals with adding DLC to your game, meaning that it'll differ if you bought Devine Wind seperately.

How long are you guys planning on playing? 7PM GMT is 9PM local on a worknight, so if we play for more than 2-3 hours I wouldn't be able to play. I also never played multiplayer. I did play EUIII DW though, obviously.

Yay, now we are with four layers players in Asia .   Five when you also count Yemen/Oman.

We're planning on starting at 3:30 gmt+1, and going on as long as people want.

Also, we still need a host, people!

[alexwazer]

I can't host and, in fact, I might have to opt out because I've been having connection issues since thursday. My connection has been... unreliable at best. So at the first sight of trouble I'll just leave and forget (i.e. no rehost for me).

However, if no one offers to host and you (Twiggie) are ready to give it another try, I would be willing to help test. I have a few things to do in the next few hours, but I'm free after that. I don't have either Skype or Hamachi installed at this point, but wouldn't mind installing them.

I think I'll mainly be focusing on Africa for the early part of the game though.

[Heron TSG]

I'm GMT-8, so I'll be starting at 6:30 AM, I think. (If that time is PM.) Milan on tiredness should be fun for the first bit. I can technically host, but my connection strength can't handle more than a couple people. 

[inteuniso]

when are we starting?

I would be willing to host. But I have no idea how, besides with hamachi.

[alexwazer]

I would rather avoid using hamachi, but if we have no other alternative that's fine too as far as I am concerned.

:>

 yeah i think i read that hamachi has a limit of 15 or something. i dont really know much about i though

[Dutchling]

That is why I said it, as I know there are people who don't like Hamachi.
fake edit: You might be right about the limit, in which case Hamachi really is a bad idea.

edit:

If you want to host an EU3 MP game and if you connect to the internet through a router then you must adopt certain port-forwarding policies.
In short, your firewall needs to have open the UDP ports 1630-1638, while your router needs to forward those ports.
This is also necessary for a player (client) to do if you want to be able to connect to the meta server.

This is the reason I don't like or am able to host games without Hamachi.
