When the game was first available I played it till 1820 as Turkey (I let some years go by just to see what would happen). I thought the Computer players started out strong; but then got a little dormant. I did manage to conquer Scandinavia (Finland, Sweden and Denmark), Prussia, Austria are on deaths door step, with France and Russia not far behind. I was forced into attacking Prussia as it would have won with points (I had to bleed it white to defeat it). I used the Ottomans and then the free Italians (to bad there was no Kingdom of Italy, I went for it to discover I could not make it) and later free Germans)

It was fun; but the game now keeps crashing when France does its diplomacy and before that lets me do its economic phase. Oh well. I so wanted to eat the English(they were a real pain).

I do think it will be more then adequate for some good face to face EIA if my group could play one or two game years in an evening. It will be EIA with out Empire in Arguments. Has anyone tried it that way yet?

Interesting. I was playing Turkey, too and game started to crash after my political phase somewhere 1813. During Spain reinforcement phase, every time same time. And just when I was winning war against Russia

If you mean HotSeated that could work. If you mean PBEM you will be lucky to get a month done in a real time week, atleats so far that has been my experience.

I am going to start a PBEM after the Nesw Year though I hope will play faster. Scheduled times a few nights a week format that some guys are playing. I expect you could get a month or two done a night with that setup.

You would not have changed one of the games options before it started giving you trouble? I unclicked the box to see the computer moves. It never showed me anything, went by to fast for me. Then it had trouble, but I really was done with the game I was just trying stuff out to see what it would do.
