The Corona Classic Ep. 2: The Second Wave (A nebulous Europa Universalis Game)

[Mendel]

THE CORONA CLASSIC
EPISODE TWO: THE SECOND WAVE
A nebulous community game
​

Following the successful Corona Classic, the saga returns along with plans of an even bigger game. Planning to stuff everybody into one area, this ambitious playthrough will see all players packed more or less into the European subcontinent, with possibilities also including North Africa and the Middle East. Diplomacy and military might will go hand in hand to ensure your survival. With conflicts encouraged, this new game will (hopefully) feature lasting player conflicts and an ever-changing balance of power. The second wave approaches.

France is a major power and extremely important in Europe until the end so you’ll definetely have to commit to playing that nation for multiple games

Roleplay game right?

I mean semi-roleplay if its going to be like the last one

and don’t just blob and take everything in 100 years, I mean you could but everyone wants to have fun here

 

[cns - he/him/his]

might go Portugal instead since France is right in the middle

france walks a razor edge most of the game- they've enemies on all sides who want to keep them in check because they're so powerful.
my recommendations are to play castile, who can be chill if you just want to colonize a bit and not conquer all of europe, OR

pick algiers/morocco/tunis and ally the ottomans. that's a chill game, you just unify africa more or less,

anyway MUSCOVY for me

Portugals a good choice for colonization and a chiller game

No I absolutely don’t intend to blob and take out other players because I can, that would be fuckey and not fun for a major to do, especially the ottomans

[liew]

[cns - he/him/his]

you can unify Ireland if you can speak irish

 

[Mute]

denmark

we wont really need a denmark, I'm assuming @Dallas is gonna break free and eat them up unless stopped

 

[Mendel]

yes most likely, but if we run out of nations perhaps we'll have to see who is the fittest

 

[friendly]

[doublepost=1587928641][/doublepost]also is this happening BEFORE or AFTER emperor update?

also w/ france, as long as you're in it for the long run and dont quit after 1 loss, it's fine. france is pretty critical to the balance of the game so they need to be present and at the very least decent at the game, so if ur confident u can, go for it
