The War of the Three Kingdoms (Rules and Sign Ups)

[Huey Long is a Republican]

I would like to have the kingdom of Sweden please.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Richard Butler, please.

Granted

the King of France please!

Granted

Parliamentary England please.

Granted

...you got me; Montrose please!!!

Granted

I would like to have the kingdom of Sweden please.

Granted

Can I take King Phillip IV of Spain and Portugal?

Granted

At this rate, I may need to open up more characters.

I reckon both 'main' British factions could contain more or less infinite subdivisions if necessary (indeed in your position I would possibly have limited the game to the British Isles, but that's your choice and I'm sure it will add an exciting European dimension!)

But it would def be fun to play as, say, Waller or Lambert on the Parliamentary side, or Sir Edward Hyde or Rupert on the Royalist

Also wonder if Ireland should be divided like Scotland? At this point the Confederates were pretty totally active rebels against Charles's forces under Ormonde and Antrim...

Ignore all this if too annoying / no more players needed of course

(and forgive my ramblings, this period is presently the closest thing I have to a day job!!!)

EDIT: other thoughts if nec: Netherlands? Denmark? Protestant German princes?

I would've originally liked Brandenburg-Prussia but it was wasn't available, so I chose Sweden.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

F**k, I missed it.

Missed what?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

I've actually gotten more done sooner than expected. I actually may have the first turn posted tonight.

Great. Swedish Empire FTW!

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Do we send PMs to ask to start Colonialization or do we announce it on the game?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

I already have plenty for a mid-turn update. I love it!

When would this be posted?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Also, can I say that the PLC wasn't involved in the TYW and wasn't a part of the HRE (Prussia wasn't either). The only modern day part of Poland that was in the HRE at the time is Silesia. Just needed to clear it up a bit.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

I want to sign up as Brandenburg-Prussia, but I don’t want to distract from your main theater.

You can sign up as Puppet Urban or Saxony

[Huey Long is a Republican]

what time will the next turn be posted?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Ok, so now I need a new Charles.

Like others suggested, I think it's best to leave him as an NPC for now.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

will the turn end on Sunday?

The PLC did try to instigate some intrigues against Sweden, including an alliance with Denmark-Norway, but those never amounted to anything. However, because of reluctance to go to war in the Sejm, Władysław IV was never going to be able to start anything.  For this game, the PLC makes much more sense as an NPC that various players might be able to entice into providing troops, if they provide the funding.

It would also make sense to be able to infiltrate the Sejm and be able to use the puppet sejm to turn the PLC into a puppet due to the Liberum Veto, IIRC.

next turn coming soon?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Dice rolled and turn written. Spell checking/formatting it now. One player was very lucky, being one number away from assassination.

Who?

Most likely me, given my recent luck.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

If possible, I think Brandenburg-Prussia should have Sweden's color as an outline, to indicate the union between the kingdom and duchy.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

If I may ask, Lumine, when will you Announce the Marriage?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

If I may ask, Lumine, when will you Announce the Marriage?

Not sure yet. Louise Henriette is very young, and in RL only got married in 1646, so there's ample time to make a decision in terms of husband and then stage a marriage.

Fair enough

[Huey Long is a Republican]

I have an issue here, how do I really get my skin in the game here? I'm just lost at this point. I have little idea what to do and I feel a bit helpless.

wdym?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

DKRol, is the next turn coming?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

OK folks, we have a problem. For the second turn in a row, I received no orders from the English Parliamentarians or the Holy Roman Empire. I also received no orders from Royalist Ireland.

What do I do?

You should put them as automats, like what Spamage was doing.

This. IDK who Spamage is, but I agree

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Is the next turn being prepped?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

We made do without Royalist Irish in turn one? And HRE could be npced through inactivity as Parl Eng were last turn...waiting too long might risk testing patience of existing active players?

This. It's best to post this turn rn and have the inactivity of the HRE be taken as having a bad effect on them.

I might as well offer up a Replacement idea then via polls.
