I'd be nice if I were you; by 1700 Norway will be able to mop up China like a wet dishrag. And Poland will stand by and cheer, because he's worried about you being too powerful in Vicky.

Not to mention that, at his current rate of expansion, he'll be right into the Siberian corridor by 1600. That means reaching China in 1700, and marching troops overland through his own colonies to kill you.

Why not? China is a splendid place to conquer for Vicky, full of coal and silk and other good stuff. And he'll be two or three CRT levels ahead of you; which is to say, given a good leader, four-to-one odds, defending a mountain behind a river, and a bit of luck, you may win one battle in five. In other words, you'd better help me since I would never dream of doing any such thing.

Well, it is possible that I exaggerated ever so slightly the ease of conquering China. Still, around 1700 I think I'd be quite polite to any European envoys, were I you.

Heh. You know, I tried that attitude when I played China in a Vicky game once. Russia invaded me and sacked Beijing. Then the Ottomans invaded me and took away Afghanistan. Then the British invaded me, sacked Beijing, and added a good chunk of land to the Raj.

Not online, no, it's a boxed game with multiplayer capability. So you'd need to buy it first. Pretty cheap if you can find it, though,, it's an old game.

Well, yes, it is 'a lot like risk' in the same sense that Hiroshima is 'a lot like' a wet firecracker.

mplayer was an old matching service (similar to battle.net, but it was it's own entity, not owned by a developer). You could use it to play multiplayer games of Warcraft 2, Mechwarrior, and others.

. It's not so much wanting to sound like one of the drooling masses, it's being able to. It's like being able to play "Mary had a Little Lamb" on the guitar, piano, etc. It's just nice to slip into it every once in a while for some fun. The disturbing thing is when people can't seem to slip back into intelligent speech.

quite frankly I'll be able to figure out how well I can do vs the West after next session, with Manchu to annex, tech to gain, Japan to subdue and all of South East Asia to dominate.

I don't see how that is a 'quite frankly'. Why would you not be frank about it? But apart from that, I disagree anyway, for the good and simple reason that you are not in a position to judge until you've tried fighting someone one or two CRTs above you. As for Japan, personally I hope we can find a player and a divine wind. Posts: 10645 | Registered: Jul 2004

muahaha, Yuan dynasty was a few hundred years ago, I have no reason to annex Japan I mean more of the lines of "subduing" to mean defeating it militarily so it stays to its home ports.

Good luck "subduing" a nuclear power (which Japan could be in a matter of months; they have some of the most advanced nuclear engineering capabilities in the world).
