Last Minute News
You can find here a couple of new maps drawn for Europa Universalis:
Europa Universalis is a game designed by Philippe Thibaut, published by the french company Azure Wish Edition. You will find in here some propositions to adapt it as a 8 player game. France, England, Spain, Turkey, Venise (then Holland and Austria) have each one a player. We add Poland (then Prussia) and Portugal (then Sweden) as new powers and Russia is played from period I till the end.
The other thing that you may find of interest is a system for rapid land battles which we find convenient. It is based on the project of a second extension by the author Ph. Thibaut himself, and it has been completed by ourselves to answer the questions left on logistic, attrition, rest-of-the-world specificities, and so on.
Sadly, the proposed changes of the rules are now only in french. Given time, those responsible for these adaptations, Bertrand Asseray and Pierre Borgnat will translate this in english (rather poor english probably). Still you can ask both of us questions (in french or english) about this variant on the EU-list. We also do like commentaries and criticisms.
Rapid land battles (first version -- called A) for which the following files are needed:
- the rules themselves (in PDF);
- the Battle CRT designed by P. Thibaut;
- last, the Siege CRT, also by the author.
EU8 variant (version A) with 8 players is detailed in the complete following text
- the rules (1st version) themselves to accomodate 8 players
(Beware! around 800k,
in PDF);
- the revised map drawn by JC Dubacq.
Remerciements à Philippe Thibaut, non seulement pour avoir créé
Europa Universalis, mais aussi pour avoir accepté de partager ses
projets de seconde extension.
Nous remercions aussi Nicolas Tsagouria qui a permis cela ; Risto
Majormaa pour avoir remis de l'ordre dans les événements politiques ; Olivier Micos
dont nous avons repris certaines idées. Enfin les joueurs de la partie
en cours avec cette variante (sans eux, nous aurions l'air malin,
à deux joueurs...) : Jean-Yves Moyen, Jean-Christophe Dubacq,
Aurélien Schoumaker, Benjamin Wack, Rémi Moyen, Sylvain Domergue et Éric/Troll.
