Gaming 1836 - The Europa Universalis 4 Experiment (Hands-off) - Map & stats in second post - Final Map and Stats update - Timelapse video

Yes, just in time to die. But Stephen Dr. Dwayne (14) is 1-2-6. So equally dumb, but very good at war.

That's all that matters. I need to crush Brandenburg and the Teutons. Oh and also take Lubeck, apparently.
 
Actually all of Western Europe knows about the West coast of Africa (but not to the Gold Coast), so that explains that. I guess it makes sense.
From memory you know until about the height of about the azores if I remember it correctly (right at the start). But if everyone's going there no one will get a huge advantage from it anyway.
 
This is definitely streamworthy content. Beats geoguesser.
 
Cool, if there's a new one, I'm in.

If we're lucky I'm re-inspiring people to do these kinds of things, if so there's definitely going to be similar stuff. SilentWitness talked about Crusader Kings for example, then there's Stellaris. I mean hell, maybe Imperator: Rome. Lots of games out there to do these in.
 
Feels so wrong to be cheering on the fact that my country has discovered colonialism. But I'll take it

Imperator Rome? I don't think people are that desperate. :lol:

Organic Potatoes is in a good spot having found the West Indies. The caribbean is one of the best areas to colonise because of all the trade that you can steer.

Rome is actually a good game now, but it came way too late so died. Anyway they wouldn't have to play it :smirk:

Can you explain trade steering to the class? :D
 
I did warn you @Wing Attack Plan R. Hopefully @hobbers will be satisfied by just getting the Ottomans.

I am hoping to use hobbers as an Ottoman. Inshallah!!!

I've picked up Imperator 3 or 4 times since it came out and barely played more than 10 mins each time. Give it another 10 years worth of patches.

Its too early in the morning for technical explanations.. caribbean = strong should be enough for now!

BTW are you using skanderbeg to compile your stats? It might make it quicker for you to see at a glance the raw data
 
Loving this. Wish I got in early enough to take part, but maybe next time. A few months ago I did a proper playthrough for the first time and had a great time. Played as Castile, formed Spain then took over everything (played on one of the easier difficulties obviously). Was a bit burnt out afterwards, but this thread is tempting me to pick it back up again.

It's good fun in multiplayer too. The diplomacy, the alliances, the intrigue.. the backstabbing. :wenger:

Personally I've always preferred these types of games just in single player where I can really take my time. In theory I love the idea of multiplayer but in practice I'm just too much of a perfectionist who agonises over every little thing.
 
@nimic have i made it to Mexico yet?

I stopped running it last night right after I discovered that you guys were making it anywhere. Nobody has started colonizing the New World yet, but it will be you and/or @Organic Potatoes for sure. The others will be able to do a bit of colonizing in North Africa, but you two are the only ones who chose Exploration as your third idea group.

What did I pick in the end?
