	Place is dead as a dodo! Tired of ads?

No posts in the past 10 days. Where has everyone gone?

Makes you wonder if this section is worthwhile anymore.

That's a lie a you know it. We are 300 years less dead than a dodo.

EU isn't as complex as it looks. Basically all you do is raise troops, keep stablity up and look for a good chance to expand your borders. There's a kind of pacing to the game, which you'll find after you play it a little. Its all about increasing your resources (money. land, etc.) through war and diplomacy (though I'd concern myself more with war, diploannexing is tricky), while maintaining a balance of power so that your enemies keep fighting each other instead of you.

I actually find the game very easy. In my very first game as Denmark, a rather small nation, I already was first in VPs after 50 years. Now in 1630 I basically control all of North America up until the Rockies, entire South America except the Inca empire, the entire Baltic region with the exception of Sweden, and of course a whole range of colonies in Africa, Indonesia and Australia. I guess I already played too many strategy games...

Only the Very Hard is worth playing on - then the challenge is to expand without triggering a bad boy war, which is a challenge indeed.

	Suffering from ads?

I must admit, for this first game I chose the Normal difficulty level, though I take it as a personal rule never to go beyond 35 BB points, the BB wars limit. But on VH, the AI doesn't suffer war attrition. That's a reason I wouldn't like to play on VH: I want large empires to fall apart as a consequence of long wars. Otherwise Europe is divided too soon between just a few large powers.

If the difficulty isn't set high enough BB becomes a good thing. It allows you to expand without losing stability to declare war

This forum should be amalgamated into other games. No posts in over ten days, this place is a graveyard.

That forum is for ancient out-dated games that hardly anybody uses anymore but which can serve as discussion points or nostalgic woolgathering.
Like Civ3.

This forum will pick up again once Crusaders/[The WW2 one whose name I've forgotten right now ] come out.
And yes indeed it could use an AAR or two.

Crusader Kings/Hearts of Iron

I guess it will. I have my "home" on the Paradox forum, and thus tend to post there. I only drop by here from time to time to see if there is any action (which it rarely is )

That Crusaders game looks very pretty, methinks.

I notice that the Classic Games forum is actually quieter than this one, except when someone triggers a flurry from the MoM fans.

Keep an eye on the MoM threads and you might notice that people are still getting their kicks out of that game. I can't stop coming back to it. If it's nostalgic to reminisce about last night's game, then we're guilty as charged.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

It's nice that somebody noticed. Seriously though I wanted to post some information that EU players would find both useful and educational. I was sort of turned off when I first looked at this forum because there was absolutely no useful information about the game. Hopefully now any new players that happen along will think of Apolyton as a place to get a greater understanding of EU1 & EU2.

Yes, thank's for the useful information, previously I went to the EU forum for all information, but thanks to you is all here to see easily.
