8-Player Napoleonic Empires Free-For-All


  • The Republic is by all means not surprised of the recent policy change by Russians. The Republic was well aware of the true nature of Russia. Now that Russia has shown her ugly face to the public and declared war against peace and justice, The Republic will stand strong and do whatever is needed to cease the unjust onslaught of mongols, tatars and cossacks in Europe.

    Everyone knows the fight will be hard and a lot of sacrifices have to be done. There will be no turning back in this fight between good and evil. However, there will be light in the end of the tunnel: one by one ancient lands of Europe shall be liberated from the ruski terror.

    –Michel Ney, The Marshal of France, in his speech to the public


  • So, Ottomans dropped away in advance?

    The game is not over. There is a chance for Ottomans to survive or at least live a few rounds.

    How? :O

    France goes first and they can’t reinforce. What’s the % in Constantinople now?


  • I don’t remember the exact number, but they have a fairly good chance. And The Lady Luck can be chaotic.


  • Maybe we should just continue and default to no change in politics since not explicitly agreed on proposals?

    If France gets Constantinopolis we only need to decide what we do with the rest of the Ottoman units.

    If France does not get Constantinopolis, then we buy max defence stuff for Constantinopolis and see what happen next round?

    Or are other people willing to play this game anymore?


  • While this game is jammed, who starts NE FFA8  :mrgreen:


  • Or an MP game with predetermined sides :D Like Total World War :-D Or something very complex and big :D

  • '21 '19 '18 '17 '16

    I’m happy to continue, I’m happy to chalk up this game as a learning opportunity and play a second eight player round, or start a forum game of TWW.


  • Forum TWW?
    Will be VEEEERY slow, with all the scrambling requests! But I’m in with Italy  :-D

    BTW I think we should start a new Napoleonic FFA, maybe 5ppl 'cause 8 is very hard.


  • Is someone dying here or what is the problem with slow game  :lol: And my deepest apologies if someone is dying.

    I think Make_It_Round could be excellent Germany. As the most successfully aggressive player I know, he could really get those tanks rolling.

    For me it is all the same what country I play, though for some reason I like to play Russia in WW2. Still I would prefer to roll a dice for a country rather than chose something.

    Why you think 8 people FFA is hard? Hard to find players? In my opinion 5 players is too few players in FFA. 8 is more players and since I don’t care of balance in FFA, I could take the most sucky country and enjoy the game.

    I say we move forward with this proposal, and the game should finish up pretty soon one way or another.

    I think that we could start recruiting for an 8-player as well, with the caveat that if they don’t make a play in 48 hours from the last post before them, their country’s forces are replaced by neutral pieces… That way the game won’t ‘hang’.

  • Lol, found a terrible bug accidentally.

    I changed my mind with after combat move in Serbia. I DLed the save I posted, edited the changes, and then reposted the save. Now, those edits I made does not show in any logs! Meaning people could easily try to cheat without anyone noticing it.

    The procedure is as follows:

    1. Make all your moves but don’t post them to the forum.
    2. Save the game to your computer.
    3. Load the game you just saved to your computer.
    4. Edit whatever you want.
    5. Post the save you edited to the forum.

    And no edits will be shown on logs.

  • I have taken back Berlin. The French, as my Allies, cannot take it from me. Thus, the Russians–if their intentions are as pure as they claim they are–should back off, as the French cannot win.

    Russia is attempting to pressure us into war with the French. This will not happen; the French have always been our faithful and staunch allies, in a sea of traitors and opportunists. The Ottomans and Russians would do well to accept my call for a ceasefire, and to find other ways to give expression to their foreign policies than to rape and murder on Austrian soil.
