Bay 12 Games Forum

Because I love Europa Universalis III, and it is a strategy game that can be paused, why shouldn't I do some LPs of it on the forums?

What do you guys want me to play? I modded in Westphalia, Belgium and Yugoslavia as formable nations (easy, tricky and masochist difficulty), and Poland got its own Elective Monarchy (basically Noble Republic on steroids and some political decisions that look tempting only on paper), so I could showcase those? Otherwise, pick me a nation and I will play it. As I tinker with the EU3 code more, new things will show up probably.

The length of game would be 14th October 1399 (standard start game for In Nomine expansion and beyond) to 12th January 1848 (date I extended the game to, virtual cookies for those who understand the reference).

Please do note that while I've learned lots about the game, I'm not an highly experienced player. If you tell me to go play some tiny nation outside of HRE (for example), I will simply say no... then again, I did restore Byzantium and made Ottomans extinct ;vc

Eh, I'm sure we will be fine either way!

Poor Waka-Waka, he gets no peace :C

Cortana scoffs at you.

"You want me to up the dwarves? Fine." Cortana Tigereye asks for a bar of iron, a bar of lead, and a bar of copper; these are easily provided by the palatial smiths.

She has the cyclopi bend the lead into shape of a circle, while the copper is melted down and then crushed into tiny speckles by the fiery dog's breath and paws. Then the iron bar is snapped into three pieces by the cyclopi. The flamingos then swoop everything in their beaks and deliver them into hands of the Sorceress.

She takes a breath, which causes the air in the throne room to visibly recede toward her mouth. The blows into her hands, causing a nobleman-toppling, furniture-flying gust of terrific wind. Everyone lands on the floor, and nobodty sees the magic of the Sorceress at work because a blizzard of bright golden snow engulfs her and then the entirety of the room.

Once she is done and the gold snow dissipates, there is a pitch black candlestick in the Sorceress' left hand. She holds it rather triumphiantly, and the candle on it is as if made of bronze, and the flame is an unusual one; it is dark blue and rather than pointing upwards, it is as if hugging the knot and the bronze candle - not a speck of material is melting however.

Slowly, Cortana approaches the throne and hands you the candlestick, and your fingers both freeze and sear on the tips in the same moment. The candlestick seems as if made of metals, but it is as light as a piece of rolled fabric its size would be.

"What item could be it be?"

Cortana snickers at you and brushes her hair.

"Candlestick of Weather. The fire neither burns nor can be extinguished."

Sorceress Tigereye then conjures up a scroll, which lands in the Treasurer's hands. He blinks several times at it and then at you, before moving up to you.

"No need for whispering, of course the price is higher than usual. Also, I must tell you, that we, the Sorceresses, have noted that you like to employ our services, and that you have Treasury full of wealth to share. Now, I want my part of it."

A) "May I negotiate a price down?"
B) "I refuse to pay such an exorbitant price!"
C) "Of course, you will have your riches."

Have court wizards ever been a thing in this worlds history? I'm kinda curious because we've given the choice to offer a place in our court to wizards to pay for their help before if I remember correctly.

No.

Just because you were given that choice doesn't mean a Wizard would accept it (aka it was to road you toward epic quests).

The turn has begun, you can now send your orders to the GM. Please label your messages correctly to lessen the hassle!

Map:

Now that we've had access to orcworld for a while, and have been sending troops and scholars through, how well known is the portal?

Is it common knowledge in Methiant? Do our neighbours know much about it?

People know about it, others know about it, nobody bothers because they're sure Methiant won't let them in. The 'new world' hype has kinda died off, especially when the toxic dust storm and sealing of the tunnel happened.

You decide that having a religious majority can't hurt. In fact, you could use that to your advantage (and so can the Pantheonist high clergy).


During this quite warm evening, you decide to walk around the top towers to enjoy the breeze and look at the perfectly cloudless, star-lit sky.

The peaceful moment is ruined because some owl perches on the cranellations and looks down at you. It is silvery with tips of its feathers being black.

"Aren't you a greedy one, hoo-hoo." You nearly backflip due to this unexpected talk from the damned feathered ball of fluff.

A) Evacuate from the tower immediately.
B) Stare back at the impertinent owl.
C) Try to a start a conversation with the wise bird.
