We would have played more than 20 years, but due to Paradoxian technical difficulties, we spent half an hour or more just trying to host a stable game that didn't crash after a day. I think one of our saves got corrupted, too, but we used an autosave.
PARADOOOOOOOOXX
Fortunately, we had TBS there to provide some lulz.

Its great, honestly, good sport and fun. Cant wait till interplayer warfare starts seriously.
I guess playing Civ 4 would do that to you Destroid. I played 3 player MP on LAN and even that was hard due to slow players, with 8 that must have been a clusterfuck. Or perhaps bad players to play with. By the way if you want to join us feel free to do so - with our play level even AI controlled nations are playable right now.

No more room in prestigious hamachi server, I think. We might have to make a Steam group or something.

So, let's see if we can get a game started before 10/11 CEST. If you're not on hamachi but would like to join, start showing up so we can get a headcount. Seeing as we now have 11 people I'd guess we won't be able to play with everyone online at the same time much, so we might want to play with less players if more than 5/6 people show up. Just trust the AI.

Bavaria's quest for power continued in the latest session. The Bohemian emperor died, leaving Bavaria in control of the Holy Roman Empire. After roflstomping burgundy and releasing 3 minor states, my emperor died as well, giving me enough imperial authority to pass a reform, which got declined. Ensue butthurt.
Then, the event. The New Bavarian Emperor was throwing a grand party in honor of his late father at his Italian mountain estate, when peasants took offence to the trannies and racists that attended the ball. 13000 sanditalians took up arms against the frightened freaks in the castle of Mantua, "Schloss Untergang". A bavarian army departed for Mantua in response. However, the dirty Austrian bastards thrice refused our request for military access, which caused a large delay through minor italian states before I managed to put down the revolt.
It was then I realized Austria was not ready to recognize my authority as the one and only true Holy Roman Emperor. This called for war, and they got it. The so called "War of Refused Military Access" broke out. The Emperor and his vassals took up arms against this blatant breach of courtesy, fighting a large alliance of dirty Pollacks, Hungarians and Austrians.
The Hungarians were confused however, and quickly sought out the Emperor for an explanation. I granted them a merciful peace, and they stood on the sidelines for the rest of the war.
The Pollacks were a harder nut to crack. Their savage potatothrowing infantry sought the downfall of the Glorious Bavarian Emperor, and trod all the way to my vassal states before several English raids in the Baltic forced them to retreat to defend their territory. They were the first to the fight and held tenaciously, but in the end they saw wisdom and accepted a white peace.
Meanwhile the Austrian Army had fallen to pieces. Several of the largest battles the world had ever seen decimated the Austrian army, while my vassals plundered their countryside and laid siege upon their rickety castles. Thrice they refused a reasonable peace (cancellation of all their vassals), and Thrice the Emperor raged in his castle. In the end Austria sent its best diplomats to the table, with the following demands "Better terms."
Let none say the Emperor is not merciful, for those better terms were granted. Austria had to end the vassalization of proud electors in the Empire (Burgundy and Bohemia). The Emperor could not stand by and see how the democratic process of the Empire was ruined by cronyism and foul play. They also had to release the State of Tirol as an independent nation, to be free of both Bavarian and Austrian influences in perpetuity. The final demand, the renaming of their capital to "Neu-München", was unfortunately denied.
Let all bear witness to the might and mercy of the Bavarian Emperor! This is your fate if you take up arms against your rightful sovereign! Gott erhalte, Gott beschütze!

Released Aquilonia (what curiously doesn't seem to exist on the EU nation list) from it's Hungarian overlord before the game crashed).
Invaded Naples with Aragon's support (and a mighty Pope at the forefront of my army) shortly before the game crashed (but just for me this time). My dreams of an Italy united by the Pope seem uncertain.

You did me a favour, actually. Soon me and Malakal will launch operation "Golden Potato" upon that land.
The brave.. Aquilonians* shall never surrender!
*No idea what it's doing in EU. Not a single mention on the EU wiki or the forums and the real life Aquilonia is a small village in southern Italy, not a moderate sized kingdom bordering Venice and Austria. Cool flag though.

This was a bad session for the Polish Empire clearly showing me how weak it really is. The country is too big while the income is too small thus leading to problems with rebellions.
I fought a lot this time. With the Golden Horde to a grinding standstill - and still needed to humiliate myself and concede defeat once that whole Bavarian business started, with Mazovia and Pommerania - luckily using Brandenburg as a proxy, and with Novgorod - quick victory over the merchant republic.
But the biggest trial was in the Bavarian-Austrian war. War caught me unprepared with my troops still exhausted and fighting the horde. Still I managed to send 21 000 relief force and score few small victories on Austrian lands. But then made a HUGE mistake of fighting a battle on Bavarian territory (in mountains no less), when I saw that -5 roll modifier due to terrain I knew the war was lost. And it sure did, big battle effectively ended the conflict, English landings werent actually the main reason for my withdrawal - rebels were a much more serious problem and had to be dealt with.
But Bavaria would do well not to become self satisfied. If there is a next time Polish forces will be more prepared.

I can't believe that the I just missed the most exciting session as of yet! Thanks Oi Velox! Fuck you faggots!
At least my net has aparently stabilised, so next time we should have no problems. When is the next game?
Indeed. But won't that merely give space to Scotland as a naval power?
Man, that Bavarian/Austrian war must've been awesome! Hell, imagine me there! I could've gotten all sorts of concessions from Bavaria or Austria in exchange fo my help.
That's the problem with multicultural empires in the early game. From what I remember, you got Poles, Lithuanians, Ruthenians and Ukranians in your territory, don't you? Its must've been full of rebels indeed.
I thought you and Reject were stronger. I was actually getting scared of your growth, and I was starting to think of a plan to take you down a notch or two.
Yeah, Golden Horde can solo everyone to a standstill. If they're focused, then the rape becomes a true nightmare of 30.000 doomstacks swarming over your land. Wans't Novgorod player-controlled? How you won?
Yeah, fighting in Germany is a bitch, specially near Austria. Rebels are a bitch too, that's why I'm not too interested in extra-cultural expansion until I get some National Ideas and Buildings to deal with that.
But Bavaria should not become self-satisfied indeed, for this session was a anomaly where I didn't play. With France, I could've tiped the war either way. Next session, if another war comes, I will be there, and I will play my part, even if its the part of neutral party.

Slaughter: defeating Novgorod wasnt hard - I got a mission to vasallize Smolensk, it was allied with Novgorod, Novgorod felt like it should actually do something -> that apparently was a bad idea since I have baited his main ~15k stack into my territory, surrounded and was about to exterminate when he conceded me 50 ducats and I accepted - I didnt even expect him to fight this war and I SO need a player controlled Novgorod to get the Horde off my back. Still need, we were just discussing forming Russia when the session ended...
And yes, we need France otherwise western Europe is too empty.
Multicultural empires indeed are a bitch and after integrating Lithuania I didnt get cores either. And I also have muslims and orthodox in my nation. Hard as hell. Well, its unlikely that anyone could invade me (Russian steppes and all that stuff), but AI would collapse me momentarily.
I suppsoe we could play again tomorrow evening at the usual time. Or today if people are so desperate for EU3 goodness...

Can someone post a map of Europe after each session?
Not for a long time, Scotland is by default geared (sliders/ideas) for land warfare, it will take time for them to firstly get their sliders in order and secondly construct the ships. Talking from the perspective of MMU, it really isn't possible to have an effective navy unless you really put some work into it.
