LORD HELMET:  I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's
former roommate.

LONE STARR:  What's that make us?

LORD HELMET:  Absolutely nothing. Which is what you are
about to become. Prepare to die.

Read halfway now. Nice guide!
Quite a few things I already knew, but acts as a good reminder. Other stuff handles stuff I hadnt bothered to delve into yet, so good to see it in a single (basic) guide!
'Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future.'

'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

HoI3 experience helps a bit, but only a bit.
Reading some on forums and wikis and playing with ppl who have played before helps more.

So you up for a game in the coming week(s), Jon?

And Garry, didnt you get the game too, back when? Or are you still on a non-gaming spree?

Islam DLC not absolutely required. Beth and I will play that DLC at some point, but we can do without it for a game with more players. With the sale gone, the required DLC for an islam game goes for €10 and the bells and whistles that dont really add much (african unit pack, song of the caliph) cost a few euros more. Up to you... As we said in shout, we can go for a France game or w.e. with ppl that dont have islam DLC.

Regarding timing: Planning is difficult for me atm with the baby and all, so dedicated nights are a no go tbh. Beth and I usually hook up when we see the other is online and then play for as long as I can manage, sometimes one hour, sometimes a few. Ad hoc as hell.

As for learning the game Saf and i can help via mumble. We know the basics good enough to explain them via mumble if you have questions. I do reccomend going through the tutorial and the guide i pistes. Also reccomend you do it i. that order.

Looks nice!

The last expansion (The Republic) looks cool too. Beth and I played it for a bit today and it sure has promise, although there are some questionmarks to be filled in. Paradox isnt very good in in-game help, so going through forums and videos now.
