Imma mod in an extra continent for me if there's no other way out
You could do what one player did in DDRJake's multiplayer game. He played as one of the Southeast Asian people (I don't remember whom exactly), took exploration and exodus'd himself into Australia, playing the colonial nation he had formed, named Shitatsu Sho's Chateaux Gateaux (in reference to Ryukyu's starting ruler, Shitatsu Sho). From there he proceeded to peacefully colonize the Pacific islands and the Western coast of North America.
He never was involved in any of the player conflicts.

It was unexciting for sure.
That seems unexciting, and lethal, because there just isn't enough base tax there
You mean like playing another player's colonial nation?
If that game had continued, I would've spent most of my time fighting in European wars with haly

Kabouter should start as Riga or Theodoro or something.
...why? I don't want to go out in the first session...again.*
*In case you're not familiar, I managed to flame out as Gelre in the first session a few games back despite having a player controlled France backing me up all the way. Top that. lol 4.79 rating.
lol, how long did that Nagaur achievement take you exactly?
Well, after the first ten or so restarts, until 16something. Just a Mughals game once you get going.

I was putting them in alphabetical order so I could see which nations we hadn't included that were still important. It's back in score order now.

You fixing the player stuff on the right as well?
...
whoops.
EDIT: and like magic, the Sort function solves the problem.
Might want to take a second look at it.
Couple of points of interest. Firstly, El Dorado is launching on February 26th. So we should be able to start this game again pretty soon!
Also, Angry Joe sat down with the Paradox CEO and VP of Acquisitions and had a long chat about the company. Not heard much about EU4, but it might be of interest to people here.

Somehow I feel the country list just became a whole lot shorter
crab removed his favs I'm sure
Btw, speaking of crab's favs. He thankfully pointed out to me that the larger Indian powers are woefully underrated, Bengal in particular. You guys might want to correct that.

The interview seems really bad in the first 5-10 minutes (Joe is insanely rude there imo), but it gets a LOT better after that.
He has some 50 fav's?

You guys are over-egging Bahmanis slightly - 4.00 is probably too much given they have to Westernize and face relative conversion problems. 3.50 is a good mark. The one you're missing is Bengal. Have you looked at Bengal's base tax lately? Absolutely crazy. They're an easy 3.50 and a possible 4 candidate. Orissa is also too low.
EDIT: I removed anything with less than 12 total base tax because not a single one of them was rated on an average of above 2 and it seems tedious making people figure what they think of Aydin or Riga. Given none had above 2, it hasn't affected anything.

Fair point. But Kab will need a complete list to decide in which far away corner of the world he is gonna hide

For that there's a handy 1444 start country list on the wiki. (Anything with a [1], [2], [4] or [5] does not exist)

I don't think there will be such a corner
Especially not with haly playing 108 countries by himself

We didn't have a complete list anyway, despite including Riga we were missing power-houses like Malwa.
I don't think there will be such a corner
Like I suggested to you before, OPM in the middle of North America

Ugh, Malwa.
Rightly so

Please crab, you're a statue.
You don't even have articulation.
There is no skill requirement. Anyone with ambitions of ahistorical grandeur can play.
Although if you're good at both CK2 and HoI2, I doubt you'd have a hard time in EU4, because EU4 is by far the easiest Paradox game in their stable.

Not at all far away, once you get the hang of the basics, you can participate and learn more along the way imo.

We have a ranking system to make sure better players are kept away from powerful nations, and new players have access to a pretty good range of countries including some very beginner friendly ones like Portugal. EU4 is easier than both CK2 and HoI2, so you should be able to get into it pretty easily. I think (?) FACE was basically new to EU4 when he started our MP, and he did

We allow FACE to join round after round, so you're good to go!
I was a scrub when I started playing MP, and now I'm still a scrub, but slightly less so. The point is: You'll learn a lot more from playing MP than SP, in my humble opinion.

As long as you remember not to trust fanboi, you're fine.
Hey!
I managed to select the wrong country before an MP session 2(or was it 3?) times, that's how bad I am.
Fitzed.
Btw you can soon chose what nation you want btw
As soon as he decides whether he will participate or not, yes. He said he'd know in about a week from now I believe.
So if El Dorado is next Thursday, what period are we looking at for starting the new game? I guess after such a long game people will want a decent break. So many people this time, will no doubt take a while to organise nation picks, not to mention the inevitable patch that'll be needed to fix whatever goes wrong with the DLC.
