well if you look on a japanese map the japanese islands are at the center... so japan is dead center, and america is the far east...

goddamit i have the fraggin swedes!! Someone feel like trading?? I don't know about the 1796 scenario... for a full 8 player game i like the balanced scenario a lot... (also sweden and prussia are rather disadvantaged in this scenario-says so in the manual!)

I will swap you Prussia if you want[:D]

Boss, please read above. Everybody knows that TEXAS is the center of the universe.

Actually except for France and Great Britain, everyone is at a disadvantage. But that is the beauty of playing against others is using your superior diplomatic skills to better the historical reality for your country. I'm playing Turkey and will be desperately trying to be more than an army of peasants on horses.

I wouldn't mind having peasants on horses... you know how much labour my land produces a month???? I'll take austria or something if someone wants to switch. Hell I'd even take bloody russia! Even turkey. Basically any country exept prussia and austria I would swap for sweden! Any takers?

Ps: I am not japanese, I just LIVE in japan, so I still have the traditional "atlantic as the center of the world" type view. But the japanese seem to put their islands in the dead center of the maps...

when is this new patch coming out btw

Yea Boss I figured you were not Japanese.

In games vs the AI the Swedes they always get lots of protecorates and have huge armies. I think trading countries defeats the purpose of setting up turns going west to east. IF we are not going to stick to the turn order based on where people live then let's have a random draw of countries by Kevan. As stated previously I'll play Turkey this time in hopes of getting better draw next time.

lol oops it says from canada right there...[8|]... hmmm alright alright ill play sweden...

I randomly assigned people in the same time zone, with the exception of putting myself after TexHorns because I usually work long days and end up playing later in the evening (and yes, I did this before knowing that TexHorns would get Turkey). I suppose if you could convince Azog to switch, that would be fine BossGnome. Good luck with getting him to give up GB though....

I'm usually a big fan of the 1792 scenario, but on the positive side, this may promote a slightly greater level of historic realism.
