Nothing a little vodka can't cure!
Ah, fair enough.

I really really really want to play, but first I have to get CK2, and then actually learn the game. I'm also very busy until the 2-3 of January. But once I'm free of obligations you can most def count me in.
Guess i could join up if you guys would need more people.

I really wish that Paradox would release "complete packs" on Steam instead of loads of individual pieces of DLC. Christ they're worse than any AAA company in this regard!

Any specific issues that would make these games more difficult to get to run properly when hosting?
Nope. Just people incapable of forwarding ports. If the meta-server finally works (doubt it), you won't even need that much.
I've hosted before on EUIII and i managed to fix the ports, although i got a shitty internet connection so it's not optimal.

Paradox have talked about seriously improving multiplayer for EU4 (proper chat, rejoin, etc etc). We'll see how that works out.

I never played one of the grand strategy games in multiplayer, is it as time consuming as i imagine it to be?

Worse. But so worth it for those moments when you drive your enemies before you, hear the lamentations of their wenches, etc
Yeah well I got kicked out from a MP game for playing too competitively so ingame butt hurt can transfer out of game. But its fun, only gets boring after several campaigns, then you need a break or other game.
Could join you guys in some CK2 fun, but again, need a designated host wiling to be there for us.
Im probably just gonna go nuts in the end. Now i really want to join

I don´t think i can commit to a mp session of CK2, i play too much of it as it is. 
Been trying the CK2+ mod lately and i´m really enjoying it, anyone recommend any other mods?

How exactly does multiplayer work? I can't imagine the hell that is one player with nothing to do for 2 or 3 years while another player wants to micromanage their shit at minimum speed due to wars/rulers dying/general autisticness. And seeing as I fall under the general autisticness spectrum I would feel bad about burdening people with needing to spend an hour on a single year of gameplay.
Speed is determined by the host, but he can see if people are requesting different speed settings.
Speed is usually set at 2-3 with pausing being really frowned upon. You dont really play smaller realms in MP unless you want to be at the mercy of your human opponents so there is usually something to do anyway. Each session in MP of EU3 in my practice was about 50 years, once I managed 100 years at 4 speed but that is very rare.
Also you need time to set up inter-player alliances and agreements, plot your wars and plan mainly. I spent quite a lot of time in ledgers too. Not to mention how much time it takes to build an army.

Yeah, doesn't seem like the kind of thing for me since I can't see the point of playing the game without paying attention to the dynasties and character traits everywhere, but that takes a lot of constant pausing.
Plus I'd probably get dinged for being "too competitive". My last game went from being a count to having a realm size of 800 by around the 1110s. And that was with me specifically conquering and vassalizing, no cheesy marrying my heir to an emperor and assassinating myself into infinite power.

Get:
-sword of islam
-orthodox one

-Aztecs
-portraits/music (unless its your thing)
Not on sale anyways. It also doesn't appear under DLC and I have to actually search for it to find it.
