THE CORONA CLASSIC
EPISODE FOUR: NEW YEAR SAME GAMERS

A nebulous community game

It has been far too long since the last Corona Classic. A new Paradox game has come out, but the same craving for a good Europa Universalis game still nags. With the dawn of a new year, we will rid ourselves of the misfortunes of 2020 and replace them with the pain of grand strategy.

The playable area this time around is different; the entire Old World is playable, with the exception of Ming. This means anything from England to Japan, Sweden to India is all up for grabs.

Currently, the first session is slated to begin after New Year's: Saturday, January 9 at 7 PM GMT. This can (and probably will) change before then, if we are able to play on an earlier date or not enough people can make it.

____
RULES
1. No cringe nae-nae babies (Ming is the ultimate cringe nae-nae baby)
2. No extreme hugboxes (3 or more great powers is a general rule of thumb for what is considered a "hugbox", also as a general rule of thumb if you're a top 3 great power, don't ally another top 3 power)

Difficulty: Normal
Lucky Nations: Historical

Limited Ledger: Yes
Use victory cards: Yes
Use Age Scoring: No
Prevent Nation Ruining: Yes

Wish I'd knew how to play EU4
easiest way to learn is to just play it

literally just start a game as france and play, do whatevers fun

if u know the basics for most paradox games it applies here too, ive spent hours looking at tutorials and learning nothing compared to just playing the game and looking up stuff when i needed to

THE KINGDOM OF SCOTLAND

"For, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom – for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

-The Declaration of Arbroath, 1320


________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It is the Year of our Lord 1444

Over a century has passed since the victory at Bannockburn.

Robert the Bruce's kingdom has fallen to intrigue and strife, wedged between competing powers, without direction, caught in the brewing storm of European kingdoms.

King James II sits in Holyrood, his father murdered through court conspiracy, James II's grip on power is tenuous.

The Realm is divided between the Lowland and Highland powers, between the ancient clans, between those loyal to their native land, and those who would seek to sell their country.

The Lordship of the Isles seeks to break free from Lothian power.

The power of Clan Douglas threatens the House of Stuart.

A civil war threatens Scotland.
