The Unification of Russia - A EU2 AAR
- Thread starter Dell19
- Start date
Have you posted this AAR at the EU2 forums? I dont remember seeing it ever. Its nice.
Do you go by a different name or are you Dell at those forums? I know of a Dell there but that doesnt mean squat really.
I just recently started playing the civ series(Bought Civ complete) and was hoping that there would be some sort of AAR's here. Is there a section somewhere right in front of my face that i am missing that contains Civ3 AAR's?
Do i need to patch Civ 3 Complete or is it patched to the most recent version since it kind of a compilation of Civ3 its xpacs, and most all of the worthwhile mods? I cant seem to find info on a game version anywhere. Any help would be appreciated, even if you could point me in the right direction. If not well that okay its just cool to see someone from the Paradox forums over here in a new enviroment for me!

Thats why you organize a MP group in a thread, in the MP forum. Keep players skill level on par with each other and there is much fun to be had! Subs are a good way of keeping a game going when real life pulls a player away from his gaming addic...erm playing session!
Always looking for MP games of EU2. Just check the forums.
How does Civ3 play in MP? There seem to alot of different ways to play. Are units animations reduced to save time? How does the simutaneous turn based system work. Is it a pretty smooth experience? Any info would again be greatly appreciated as im obviously a noob at this game. My favorite phase of owning a game though is when i am blissfully absorbing all the little nuances of said game, so fun.
Thanks in advance...

1) wrong thread to ask questions but since you already asked...
2) There are many "forms" in wich you play like: Classic, Simulationes moves etc.
3) The units are animated but you can turn that off at the preferences.
4) all players move their units at the same time, sometimes creating really bizarre looking battles, their is a set amount of time before they move to the next turn during the turns you play like you would normally except meanwhile you are adjusting your cities your neighbor will sneak attack you and you cant do anything about it until next turn. (Refer to the civ Manual for more in detail information)
5) Depends on the players internet connection.

Sorry about posting it here, its just that i felt more comftorable with some fellow EU2 players being in this thread. Ill moslty lurk when i join a new forum until i get a feeling for the atmosphere for the place. So far most people seem very mature, friendly, and willing to help so i should come out of my shell a little sooner then i normally would.
I do appreciate the info you did share with me, thanks for that.
Ill try to look through the appropriate forums and threads for the rest of my questions.

Hey I the times of conquests are just amazing! I'm in 1488 and I united all Russian principalities but Novgorod and Tver' (provinces). Also got Kazan and Simbirsk. How did you manage to do that without ruining your rep?
And how to you get your rep up fast? I'm at "bad reputation" right now and I want to fight more wars. Help?

Simple, you can't unify Russia without ruining your reputation, and don't worry once you are at a very bad rep your neighbor countries will just jump right in and declare war.

You know instinctivly I knew you were going to say something like that 
. Not sure I like it. I wanted a real advice.... 
. Not sure I like it. I wanted a real advice.... Its what I did... I had the worst reputation I had ever had by the time I stopped playing. The idea is to make those wars count by gaining plenty of territory each time so that the AI is put off declaring war. Also use the winters to wipe out their stacks if they do declare war and then take provinces with minimum forces so that eventually you win every war...

Can you explain your question?

Umm... Just change the shield in the menu by klicking them with the second mouse button.

Found an answer to that! Once Moskovy becomes Russia her reputation record is largely cleared. I do not remember well, but perhaps diplomatic relations are also set to 0.Gelion said:
Quite an interesting game so far. My reputation has generally been poor after two early wars to get Malacca and then one or two other wars. Tibet have been very helpful in being the only ally for the last 50 or so years where I've had to fight about 6 wars against China, each time gaining 1 or 2 provinces between us.

Try to play Japan 
Yes, its a great game taht you have. How do you control all those religoins and nationalities?

The majority of the provinces are Buddhist with 2 Sunni provinces (Johor converted), 1 Hindu and then 3 confucism provinces so it isn't that bad.
I have tried to play as Japan before but the events are just horrible for them and they get far too many rebellions.

When i played as Japan, (even though the events sucked.) I managed to fight a few profitable wars with China and get a few coastal provinces off it and increase my infastructure and economy. (With the help of the Manchus, of cource.)
Still it wasn't easy. So i stopped playing with backward Asian nations and concentrate more on playing with Europe.
I finally started playing the AGREEP mod which I did actually find to be a pretty good mod for the game since Austria has generally been weakened and it looks like Brandenberg have been dramatically strengthened so that there is actually a northern German empire. I still always get to a point in my games where I just get killed by rebellions.
As the French I have colonised the east of North America quite extensively whilst having the majority of the Netherlands, Spain and pretty much all of the Italian provinces. However now I tend to get a rebellion every 2 months which is just too much effort to stop especially on the island provinces that Venice has.
