Status: offline 		Is anyone else getting major problems on the economy/trade screen when they try to execute their PBEM turns?  Whenever I open the file and try to do trade, I repeatedly get the "microsoft orchestra strike" sound, a flipping mouse cursor, and much of the functionality of the screen disappears (for instance, the advisor's text indicating good and bad trades disappears).  This problem is repeatable and happens whenever I re-open the file to try to redo my turn.  I will post this problem in "tech support."

It just CTDed doing that. I have to admit, the first couple of turns I ignored this and just sent in my turn. But now that I have learned how to do an advanced economy, I can't ignore it.

Turkish turn is in.  Things are starting to get interesting, so I hope we can make a few faster turns going into the weekend.  Anyone have big plans and not going to be around?

I'm the opposite - I can't sleep because my throat is like sandpaper, and my head is pounding to the sound of the guns.

Anyway, turn 6 in.

"house rule" - 3/26/2009 11:18:32 PM

Status: offline 		I do not understand the "house rule" about attacking minor nations and having to control their capitols to control the nation.  Do I even understand this properly?

This prevents anyone from attacking any minor and waging an unsuccessful war, then sitting on the regions taken until resources permit the offensive to continue.

Can someone post a full rule, as if it were presented in a rule book for EiA?  I don't want any vague items which are open to debate.

If someone invades Denmark, I need to know what my lawyers need to show up in court with. :)

Two other players have not been able to answer my questions.

Thanks.

Status: offline 		The rule was if you took a single province of a multiprovince protectorate from a player during a war without taking the capital you would cede it back to the player you took it from at the end of the war.  If you conquer the whole thing, you get to keep it.

I dont know that we applied it to AI Minors.  So it would depend if Denmark was your protectorate or not.

Mus as the right of it.

It's just that currently france could come donw in naples, take 2 province with me surrendering and then keeping the provinces. This is NOT how it's meant to work. if he wants to keep the provinces he should first take the capital of Naples. This way it simulate the fact that he forces Naples into a separate peace (and thus he can keep the conquered provinces).

It doesn't change anything with minors that are not protectorate. So if Danemark is not a protectorate you do as you feel :)



For those waiting for a war, me and France are in a war if you didn't know... Crazy bugger is hoping he can claim all of Italy under my nose! Doesn't he see they all like me better?

Status: offline 		I have no problem with the house rule for now, but it would prevent the partition of Poland as it occurred historically.  And Poland is perhaps the most blatant example of the division of a large minor with more than 1 or 2 provences of the era.  I don't know that the rule makes sense from that perspective at all.  Because this kind of partition of Poland occured twice in the time frame of CoG:EE. Once in 1793 and once in 1795.  In 1793 it was divided between 3 (yes, three) neighboring powers who just marched in.

Here is the image...

And here is the story...

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

The rule wouldnt apply to an independent minor Poland. It could be divided up by 2-3 powers at their leisure.

The rule ONLY applies to protectorates.

I'm now relatively free of the horrible East London virus (x2!)I caught and can now concentrate for more than ten minutes at a time.

Looks like the game is hotting up. Wars are breaking out and there is the requisite amount of paranoia!

Pbem is great. Shame there is no realistic way to fit detailed battles etc into the mechanics, but there are enough choices and options each turn to make your head spin. Can't beat real live opponents for all our strengths and frailties.

I only wish we had all opted for a longer game! Probably 1000 Glory will mean a relatively short game once a few nations are defeated and a few wars are fought to their conclusion. Still, hopefully we will mostly get together for re-matches.

As ever, looking forward to the new turn (whatever it may bring)

Lenin.

P.S. Might be out of action on Tuesday - have an engagement I really, really have to go to.

I don't have to make as many complicated decisions as the English. I really like PBEM as it actually makes one think. Playing against the AI gets old bit too early (I tried Empire Total War and the AI is extremely dissapointing, otherwise it would be quite a nice game, although not realistic).
