Let's Play: Europa Universalis 3!
« on: October 26, 2011, 05:30:56 pm »

So I wanted to play some more EU3 between MP sessions, so I thought what better than to do a Let's Play of one of my current favourites!

I was thinking of doing an Italian Minor, but I'm open to suggestions; I don't want to play a European major but thats about it...

Urbino's always fun. I've never seen someone take a sub-Saharan country through a game before, though. Maybe Mali?

Don't play Naples. I don't need you to show me how bad I am playing them :P

Seriously, I am always interested in following EU3 LPs. Mostly because I don't have much time to play myself. My vote for the non-existent poll goes for Silicy.

Actually, I've never done a sub-saharan nation yet. I'll put up a poll for them.

Well Songhai is winning, I'll leave the poll up until I get back from uni, which is another 3 hours or so.

Poll closing slightly early, Songhai is chosen!
I'll be playing on very hard no lucky nations average aggressiveness
A new poll is up to determine when I should load. I'll proabaly choose the middle option unless there's massive support for either of the others.

EDIT: also keep in mind that if ironman is chosen I'll probably have to restart a few times to get past the first few years well, and the potential for getting crushed by europeans rises about a hundredfold :p

An ironman sub-saharan nation is no fun, seriously. An ironman of European nations, sure, that's fun, and maybe even some non-European ones like Ming, but sub-saharan games rely too much on luck.

I'd say ironman with normal difficulty but that's probably just me.

I've read the entire thread, and still don't know what EU3 is, or the acronym means.

Only EU acronyms I have ever heard are Entropia Universe, which I doubt this is, and European Union, which isn't a game (although they seem to act like it is)

Ordinarily, I'd say Ironman.  But going Sub-Sahara is bad enough, really.

I play adventure mode because it's hard and when I play, I am too.
I believe we're talking about full scale colonisation here.  You don't just leave all your shit in the van when you move house.

Ok so I played some of Songhai. And it was terrible. I hated it. So now I'm going to do a Brandenburg -> Prussia LP!

It will be ironman, very hard, low aggression. Play starting now, should have an update later tonight or tomorrow!
