ok. drop the "start new game" suggestions. right now i'd prefer this game to get going. then we can talk about the next one.
We've now got players (Thanks MjM, and welcome) for all the nations that matter.
Gruban = Africa
Jason the King = France
Sheep2 = Russia
MjM = Austria
Erik Mesoy = Norway
MattyB2 = Britain
Germany and Rome are NPCs, and i'll run em.
if you want to send diplomacy to one of the NPCs, do NOT put it as part of your orders, cause i wont read the Orders PMs untill i start the update (also, put the word "orders" in the title of the pm with the orders).
so figure out your deplomany, and send your orders.
and as a general reminder, dont forget to include in your orders:
1. how much trade (money) you're sending to each other nation (if any)
2. how much you're stealing from each other nation (if any)
3. where your armies are moving (remember they dont fight on borders, only at their destinations)
4. what your fleets are doing (its ONE of : take on armies, move OR unload armies). and if you want your fleets to fight someone, tell me that, or they may just sit there and waive at your enemy.
