In case I forget later, we should create a chatroom when playing since the game is prone to crashes and people might need some quick troubleshooting.

And what version do we want to play? My choice would probably be AHD with the latest beta patch.

I went ahead and created a When is Good event, so anyone who wants to play can mark down their availability (make sure to change to your timezone) and it'll be much easier to figure out when we can start.

I agree, though do you know if Steam automatically updates Victoria II to the latest beta patch, or if I need to download it somewhere?

Also, I have almost nothing going on, except something Friday Afternoon (which won't take long, but I'm not sure exactly when it will be)

Also, for setting up a Multiplayer game, I don't need to anything special except know my IP? I have Hamachi as well if that can be used

I don't really know how Steam updates this game. If your checksum at startup is OWZA, then it has updated you to the most recent, AHD 2.31, beta patch.

Here is a link to the current scheduling results (just you and me so far).

As for multiplayer setup, you should check out this help thread at the official forums.

High, I've not played online in a good while, but I would love to give it a go with the Alt Hist lot.

How do I join? Is there anything I should know or do?

I am Fire and Ash on PI forum.

It's all the illiterate peasants. Or maybe it only counts as literacy in the "primary language."

And, according to a map I googled, literacy in A-H was fairly rare outside of Austria, Bohemia, and Hungary proper.

Alright, should we start claiming nations now? Chances are we will play either in a few hours or tomorrow.

Please state your top 3 picks

Here are mine:

1. Two Sicilies
2. France
3. Austria

Thank you for testing it with me.

Everyone, Victoria II Multiplayer is working just fine, but you need Hamachi to get connected to the network.

If you have hamachi, join the network VictoriaIIAH, password is Sealion
