Napolenic Empires. 8 players free for all game

[Stalingradski]

Is this game over? It seemed to have a lot of potential. I just want to know so I won’t get my hopes up  :-)

[Gekkepop]

We’re just waiting for Noll, he said he would be back. If he isn’t we can still get an AI to replace him, though I would prefer not to.

[Witt]

Is Gekkepop after Noll, so I say he chooses when he wants to have his go: how long you want to wait.
Think the rest of us want to play.
I love this game and would play more.
Maybe we have 4 players playing 2 countries each next!
Would have to be no politics. France/Spain. Sweden/Ottomans. UK/Prussia. Austria/Russia.
Do people think that would work? Would have to be 2 sides.
I know the politics are half the fun, but they make it very slow.

[Stalingradski]

Thankd guys for responses -

[Major Major]

sweden/ottomans seems weak.

[Gekkepop]

So you don’t mind if I just let the AI play Ottomans and post the turn after that? I think I’ll wait a bit longer (will be very busy the next week anyway) but if Noll isn’t back by then it may be better to just move on.

[Witt]

Agreed.
If we find is not working without a human player, then we rethink.

I know Sweden/Ottomans is the weakest link in the 4 player idea, but I think France and UK on opposite sides is the best set up.
They are the only two allies who cannot help each other as they are on opposite sides of the map. Just thought we could try a four player version.
Not sure how we would decide a winner!

[Gekkepop]

I couldn’t post the Ottoman AI turn but I let them play it in a local game and continued from the result. Stalingradski please let me know what the Ottomans do from a local game after you post your politics.

[Witt]

Thank you Gekkepop.
We can play a turn or two and decide if it is working or not, then consider other options.

France offers an Alliance to Spain.
No other Politics.

[Degrasse]

Spain will graciously agree to protect France from the evils of the UK.  However, no more eating frogs.

[Witt]

Thank you Your Majesty.
Upon crowning myself Emperor, I decreed we French will henceforward be strict vegetarians.
May the humble frog thrive under our brave new world!

[Major Major]

From rumors of an alliance against me, I declare war on France and redclare war on spain twice.  I offer open borders to prussia and sweden.

[Witt]

UK: I wondered how long our Ceasefire would last!
Should be a fun turn.
Just so you know, I will go down fighting… to the last Frog.

[Major Major]

I guess I will also go to open borders with ai ottomans.  I dont see a reason for alliance.

[Guest]

no open borders. :|
i forget what my plans were. :?
i lost one of my allies. witch was very important to me. :cry:

[Guest]

no other politics.

[pr0c3ss]

Swedes borders and lands are very small - open borders declined unless intentions are declared…

Sweden remains at war with Russia - Alliances with Prussia and France remain, whith all other nations a ceasefire is requested.

[Stalingradski]

Austria will remain the same, except for dropping to open borders against Ottomans.

[Gekkepop]

No politics from the Ottomans, nor from Russia. France is up again!
