  • Where do you want your capital (either a specific province or a general area - you can use this if you want to. Please spread around a bit. If you all pick England I am going to make you tiny. If you don't care I can choose. @Welsh Wonder has already claimed Wales, for some reason) Lithuania
  • What are one or two things you want your country to be good at? (I'll try to pick a couple of national ideas to match) Prostitution and gambling
  • What colour do you want on the map? (there are 100 to pick from but there's no RGB or Hex or anything, so I'll just try to eyeball it and make sure there's a bit of variation) Turquoise
  • The name of your ruler (the dynasty will be your nickname, we'll see if there are any dynasties left by the time we're done) Nonc E. Schofield

@Solius and @BD really went and chose orange and coral, right next to each other. Also the two reds, and the two greens. I expected rivalries, but maybe not based on colour choice.
We’ve made Spain look like a weather map during a heatwave.

Updated current map. Still spots left in Germany, Swizterland/France/Netherlands/Italy-ish, Russia/Ukraine/Finland-ish, Northern Africa and maybe Turkey/Greece?

Someone take Qoyunlu and we'll join forces vs the Ottomans.

Also love that Taters has taken all the best parts of Scotland away for his Celtic empire.

I dont mean because Im orange, but doesnt Holland start as a vassal to Spain in the starting year?
They do, but you're entirely new countries, no baggage. Maybe if I lose my job one day I'll do one where I let you guys customize your nations to a much greater degree. Create national ideas and define friendships and stuff.

@SilentWitness did you want in? You can have any spot you want, except the 20 that have been taken covering most of Europe.
Probably a bit busy trying not to be given a heart attack by Everton for the next hour or so.

I'd like in. Sardinia is looking like a tasty plot of land, I'll take Cagliari.

I'll be getting drunk on good wine and snorkeling while the rest of you fight it out

So, I guess we'll take farming and tourism. Colour white to match the island's flag, and I can't think of a clever leader name, so I'll just use my gamer tag - Geronimo

Okay I made this before I saw that @Stobzilla picked Muscovy, so just visualize him in that area. Same with @Igor Drefljak and Norway, I'll probably have to extend him into Denmark and Northern Germany.

This is the current map. Still some room in those areas I marked. Honestly if we get too many people I can just start putting people in Asia, it will just be harder to get them all in one screenshot or whatever.

Wow, I only asked for Sardinia. My empire has already more than doubled! Maybe I was being too small minded with vineyards and olive groves...

Out of curiosity, is there a general 'meta' with how this game plays out? I nearly picked up this game a while back when I was playing Civ VI
