Interesting article on wind powered ships.
It looks like Shadowbound was a one turn wonder who jumped in as Kalmar to participate in the HRE elections, didn't get what he wanted and quit. Be aware that Karalysia (now playing Bavaria) posted an interest in Kalmar also. I don't know how serious that was. Like you he is waiting for the update to see what's what. You might check with him. and post your rules questions.Genoa is nice, but I'm switching to Kalmar once the update is over. A lot more to do with it (though init is the same ^_^).
I've read a lot about the Scandis/Nordics too (and am half Scandi) and will read all updates not concerning Scandi, so don't worry doubters. ;P
PS. Still a bit confused on some rules, but patting them down. + having help
@das: What year was Demetrius II born?
Not a problem. Another Indian player will be good.I want to switch to these guys after the update. Will that be ok? I figure there'll be more player freedom.
