Is this a scenario with a real map of Europe?
Do I need to download a Mod?

I would play Russia.

This is a Conquests Scenario

Great: I just picked up conquests recently.

You might get more response if you post this again in
the PBEM forum, but I can probably find more players if
I ask around in my other two PBEM games.

portuga · Nov 21, 2003

I'll play the otomans

Norlamand · Nov 21, 2003

I'll play if there is room. Is France open?

eric_A · Nov 24, 2003

I gave this Conquest a test run on the weekend, as the Russians.
Got my butt kicked the first go. The second time I chose my allies
very, very carefully and managed to do OK up till 1806, which
is as far as I got.

I also tried a mutiplayer hotseat game for a couple of turns
just to see how if it worked without bugs. It seems the first player
must play Prussia for some reason, but other than that it went
OK.

I like this Conquest, it reminds me of the old Avalon Hill board
game called "War & Peace". This would make for a great PBEM
game in my opinion. You would need human players for at least:

Britian
France
Prussian
Austria
&Russia

Optionally you could also play:
Ottomans
Swedes
& Spain
or just leave them for the AI

This indeed is the toughest scenario. In single player France is doable, but has a LOT of borders with unfriendly neighbours which is a major disadvantage in MP. Same applies for Austria and Prussia, the latter being confined.

Looking at the minimap I would say Britian has a fair change if it can establish a stronghold on the continent, and only France really is in a position to try a naval invasion. The Russians have a large territory and relatively defendable borders. If they can withstand early Prussian / Austrian pressure and do some smart diplo they should be able to dominate in the longer run.

Hey, it is just 2 cents I am throwing in!

eric_A · Nov 24, 2003

The Russians have MAJOR corruption problems in the south, and
need to build the FP in Kiev to fix them. But it takes about 7
years to do it, even with chopping down every forest within 4
squares.

WildFire · Nov 24, 2003

I will be France, my nationality and all.

EDIT:

Ill be very selective picking the players.

You ok'ed me right?

As you can see from the above quote,
France has already been called. We need players
for Prussia and Austria.

If someone wants to take on the Russians I will
switch to Prussia to help get this started.

WildFire · Nov 25, 2003

Oh...

The list of players wasn't updated and I wasn't sure if he had ok'ed them...

1. Build lots of fortifications.
2 The Russians can easily be bribed, they are
a backwards people and need technologies.
