Does anyone here play Europa Universalis III? I recently began tinkering with adding nations into the game, and its really quite simple. Why not revamp the entire game to show the NS world as it was in 1453? Any player would then be able to take control of the nation, and play it through, and it would be interesting to see how our world would change/work. It's relatively simple, and takes minutes to modify. If people are interested, I'll actually set aside a version of the game for me to modify. I know E-D tried this with Superpower 3, but this is even easier, and I'd like to do it. So... yeah. :lol: |

Sounds like a fun idea. Problem is that we don't have consistent history. We'd have to develop one for that to be possible. |

I'd work more a first come first serve. Gimme your nation as you saw it in 1453, and I'll stick it in. If you arrived on time, it'll be fully yours. If someone else is there, work with them, around them, etc. There would be some big powers, like Catholic Europe, etc. This is inevitable. They dominated in our universe, so I don't see why they shouldn't dominate in the game. If necessary, I can balance it out by giving them many cultures within their borders, thus making them instable. I've already done this with a few nations. I have Hispania, Andorra, Catholic Europe, and the HCI done, as I was just fooling with it. There's no problem adding others. |

Ok cool. It would likely contradict the history I wrote before, but if it isn't a problem, you could put the Empire down in Syria and Lebanon. |

I don't have the game. I roleplay Quaon as simply being part of the Russian Empire, with some older, more dark ages-ish origins as an independent state. |

My computer can't handle EU3:( In the mean time, be sure you take some screenshots of your project and show us how it looks! |

Germany claims its lineage dating back to Holy Roman Times, so very little change would be needed ^_^ |

Q, Russia didn't form until the 1600s. Would you like an independent state before then? Also, EUIII encompasses the world. I can add Chirondom, or Sahndaq. Cyprus. Etc. |

Actually, it was Superpower 2, and I only halted the project because I started getting busy. I still intend to finish when I get my head out of the sand. It'll be late... But better late than never. Edit: And I wish you good luck on your project. |

I have it but my computer cannot handle it ; what a shame, my Mecklemburg was so cool . Marslava has been originated by the kingdom of Boemia, that is also in EU III ( and has got a quite good potential in the game ) . |

EU3 won't run. And when I joined the Middle East, I was a newbie. Nag Ehgoeg's IC history reflects this (the orginal history (that's been retconned dozens of times) is that it was formed with the collaspe of the Soviet Union by the UN to have a Western friendly state in the Middle East). But as time has passed... Nag Ehgoeg's IC history has become incredibly dated. In the Outsider I plan to reconsile this by basically saying that the people of Nag Ehgoeg have been arround since the dawn of time (well ERA (I think) has a birth date in the fifth century) but the land hasn't been known as a nation called Nag Ehgoeg until modern day(-ish). As such... I don't feel comfortable committing to a history project. If you want to have Nag Ehgoeg, style the land as it was historically... or make it really insular and isolationist. Or whatever floats your boat. |

I think the HOI2 engine would be more appropriate for NSWR. IIRC, HOI2 Armageddon comes with a handy map editor (like the one for EUIII). |

Oh hell yes. A NSWR Hearts of Iron would be crazy. Speaking of HOI2, I was just playing as the Soviet Union, and proposed an alliance to the Germans in July 1929. They've accepted, and I am now a member of the Axis. EDIT: Also, the game only costs like $10, so it would be a lot cheaper for those people who don't own it if they want to give it a go. |

You know, the fact that I didn't realize that hurts me. Very much so. In that case, Quaon can be a small duchy with more or less it's current area. If the EMpire is going to be around, I'd think that Cyprus would be part of it, or perhaps Catholic Europe, so I'd have to work that out with both of them. Sahndaq didn't exist until relatively recently, and was basically what it was IRL until Quaonion colonization, Chirondom I don't think existed until the Opium Wars but tentaively give me some area around Shanghai, and Zolony should be based in more or less its current territory. |

I'd be much more interested in the HoW2 game for a couple reasons: 1) Cheaper for me to obtain the game. 2) Easier for me to run the game on my laptop. 3) Closer to our timeframe, so it would make more sense to have the Empire present in some form. |

With Divine Winds coming out soon, I was wondering if anybody here is up to date on the expansions. If so, I think an NS game would be awesome. Also, does anyone here play Victoria 2? I find it even more awesome, even if the UK is an unbeatable behemoth. :o |

I am also awaiting Divine Wind. I have been playing some Victoria 2, but got distracted when Civ5 came out. |
