PBEM

The rule was if you took a single province of a multiprovince protectorate from a player during a war without taking the capital you would cede it back to the player you took it from at the end of the war.  If you conquer the whole thing, you get to keep it.
 
I dont know that we applied it to AI Minors.  So it would depend if Denmark was your protectorate or not.

[Franck]

Mus as the right of it.

It's just that currently france could come donw in naples, take 2 province with me surrendering and then keeping the provinces. This is NOT how it's meant to work. if he wants to keep the provinces he should first take the capital of Naples. This way it simulate the fact that he forces Naples into a separate peace (and thus he can keep the conquered provinces).

It doesn't change anything with minors that are not protectorate. So if Danemark is not a protectorate you do as you feel



For those waiting for a war, me and France are in a war if you didn't know... Crazy bugger is hoping he can claim all of Italy under my nose! Doesn't he see they all like me better?

I have no problem with the house rule for now, but it would prevent the partition of Poland as it occurred historically.  And Poland is perhaps the most blatant example of the division of a large minor with more than 1 or 2 provences of the era.  I don't know that the rule makes sense from that perspective at all.  Because this kind of partition of Poland occured twice in the time frame of CoG:EE. Once in 1793 and once in 1795.  In 1793 it was divided between 3 (yes, three) neighboring powers who just marched in.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

The rule wouldnt apply to an independent minor Poland. It could be divided up by 2-3 powers at their leisure.

The rule ONLY applies to protectorates.

I have all files except Sweden and Prussia ...

[timurlain]

Prussia's been away at a conference with a complicated internet access. Turn will be sent later this evening.

[lenin]

Take your time, Timurlain.

I'm now relatively free of the horrible East London virus (x2!)I caught and can now concentrate for more than ten minutes at a time.

Looks like the game is hotting up. Wars are breaking out and there is the requisite amount of paranoia!

Pbem is great. Shame there is no realistic way to fit detailed battles etc into the mechanics, but there are enough choices and options each turn to make your head spin. Can't beat real live opponents for all our strengths and frailties.

I only wish we had all opted for a longer game! Probably 1000 Glory will mean a relatively short game once a few nations are defeated and a few wars are fought to their conclusion. Still, hopefully we will mostly get together for re-matches.

As ever, looking forward to the new turn (whatever it may bring)

Lenin.

P.S. Might be out of action on Tuesday - have an engagement I really, really have to go to.

[timurlain]

Prussia's turn is in.

I don't have to make as many complicated decisions as the English. I really like PBEM as it actually makes one think. Playing against the AI gets old bit too early (I tried Empire Total War and the AI is extremely dissapointing, otherwise it would be quite a nice game, although not realistic).

[Matto]

Still waiting for Sweden turn

[IronWarrior]

Agreed lenin, this game has been a lot of fun as pbem. I would absolutely love to see detailed battles be imported/exported to LAN and back to pbem again! Still great fun though, and I'll definately be up for some more in the future.

This turn has me nervous, I may have made a pretty bad blunder... depends how things go. Anxiously awaiting the results. [:)]

[Mus]

Somebody email barbarossa and ask him what the holdup is?

[barbarossa2]

Swedish turn in.  I was waiting on one last response to my diplomatic dispatches until the very last possibe moment.
 
The message I got said the turn was due by Friday evening.  I didn't know if it was Friday evening western Europe time or Friday evening eastern US time.  I assumed US time.  And the turn was in by 10pm New York time. 
 
I have no problem with hitting an exact deadline if I know when that deadline is...exactly.

Hehe,

I've gone out on a little bit of a limb this turn too. Lets hope you were wrong and I was right!

[Matto]

OK, I wrote it in my first emails ... I'm GMT+1 ... and next time, Barbarossa, please send correct files [8D] Email send ...
So still waiting Sweden ...

[barbarossa2]

[barbarossa2]
