Glad you like it - I was going to include screenshots but got too wrapped up in fighting wars to remember to take any. Although, it would be nice if we had a screenshot of the current diplo map on the stats page (nudge, nudge).
The font is Comic Sans MS, and I'll take the money.

France speaking of expansion?.. perhaps the Honorable French King haven't seen his troops climbing the high mountains of Switzerland to bring terror to their peasants and their governors, and then going down to the coast of the Mediterranean in the Italian peninsula to expell the Doria family of their rightfull native territory, Genoa.... it's quite interesting
Austria speaking of expansion? Hmmm... maybe the Archduke is blind and hasnt seen his troops forcefully take venetian territories like Mantua or English troops usurping the Scottish throne from Our dear brother King James, rightful King of Scotland. So the next time you or the English decide to object to French actions you will be rest-assured France will object to your actions. Also the people of Switzerland and Genoa are very happy under French rule. The only people who are suffering from oppression are the italians under Habsburg tyranny and the Scots under English tyranny.
Looks like the English and Austrians have upgraded their propoganda from exageration of facts to entirely original lies. There's no comparison between the subjugation of Scotland and Venice and Brittany and Helveta. Scotland has been a soveriegn nation for hundreds of years, and have now at last been wiped out by English war, without a proper casus belli. How does that compare with Brittany? First of all, Brittany is a part of France. The Dukes of Brittany swore allegience to the French king hundreds of years ago when he alloted them this land to govern. Recently, the king has decided to try to centralize his realm by, in game terms, diploannexing Brittany, which he no doubt plans to do in the near future. Whether they speak gaelic or not, most of them also speak French, and they have ties to France that the English king doesn't even bother to make up about England and Scotland.
As far as Helveta is concerned, how has France jeopardized their independence? They jeopardized it themselves by starting war with my allies, the Savoyards. All I've done is made them pay a small yearly tribute for their irresponsible behavior. If you think to mention the invasion of Helveta itself in your propoganda, it just proves how biased you are, because Helveta started the war by invading Savoy and lootings its villages, which you in your altruism seem to have forgotten to mention.
As far as Genoa is concerned, they are now under French protection. Why? Because it's the only way to ensure Genoa remains intact as a thriving city. Spain attacked them and destroyed their fleet, blockaded them, took their only overseas possession, Corsica. And Spain is a very peaceful, justly run nation. How would Genoa fare if I left them to the ravishings of some other nation? Now they are safe. Also, they didn't put up much of a resistance, which shows that they were really not that unhappy about the change of government. And no, we haven't forced the Doria's to flee, they still have their money and their residence, and are doing fine under French government.
What about Austria's attacks on Venice though? They're the country I was talking about before. They destroyed Venice, a peaceful trading country, so that they could add all Venice's gold to their treasury, and tax the citizens to pay for Austrian levies.
It baffles the mind how the emperor or the English king could expect anyone to listen to propoganda coming from such nefarious rulers.
Now the old regent of France will retire to his villa in Lorraine, too disgusted with the villainy of England and Austria to continue his career in politics.

Yes, I have... perhaps not posted here.. but its written down in a piece of paper next to my PC along with the restCakravarti said:
.. so don't worry about it.. I'm gonna post them in a summary for Javier in the other thread
To the Powerful King of France and his Regent,
As we can see, this exchange of messages are not going to get us nowhere, since we're running around on the same subject. France have had their expansion that have been sensed in Austria as an excessive one, and England and my Archduke's Family have also expanded our influence in territories claimed as ours, due to documents that prove such action; but this may also be seen in Paris as excessive, despite as I said, they're rightfull claims.
On the other hand, perhaps the regent must consult his overlord about what was the true stance of France in the Genoan-Spaniard conflict; the King claims that Spain "helped" France by using its mediterranean fleet to counter Doria's, but now the regent claims that France are "defending" Genoa from Spaniard aggression. But that's only a matter that France itself must solve
. Also, the regent is still misinformed about Doria's family's whereabouts, as it was noted before by a message from this office, the Doria Family is in Milan, secured by the people and our arms.Regards,
Ferdinand of Habsburg
High Council Advisor of the Emperor
The difference between England-Austria from France expansions was that the Holy Alliance only expanded in areas that they are welcomed. Regions with culture officially recognized in our capital in the same level of Anglosaxon and German. But what did France did if Helvetia? Why opress those poor swiss people? Also I have secured informations that make me almost sure that France will annex one more non-cultural nation: Britanny. If this happen, this will show that the French King isnt a lover of peace and wont respect any freedom for anyone.

Perhaps the English King is suffering from amnesia. Does he not remeber that it was the Helvetians who attacked our allies the Savoyards. We merely chastised them for attackng our allies. We were most gracious in our conduct for we took not one territory from them tho we could have had whatever we wanted.
You are misinformed, Gaelic is an officially recognised culture of the Kingdom of France. After all the Gaul was the Roman name of France and all Gaelic people come from France. In fact France has a far greater claim to gaelic culture than the anglo-saxon barbarians and hence France has a far greater claim to not only Brittany but also Ireland and Scotland.

LOL.... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: ... Dont make me laugh :rofl: ... You are killing me :rofl: :rofl:
Now seriously, Gaelic culture is an official culture in the French State as is Japanese in England.
I think we should stop this endless discussion and try to work for peace, shouldnt us? I am sure that the French King is a honest man ready for negociations.

Did the Japanese come from England?
No you sir are the one who is being ludicrous. Everything I said is true.
However I agree this pointless chit-chat is leading us nowhere. In the interests of peace I say we end our argument.
hehe people I strolled here to see what my old GM (Caslu) is doing and when I have read excerpt it was :rofl:
For France; your chance of recovering Calais is severely diminished now unless Spain helps you with a lot of force - imo you had greatest chance of winning Calais while Scotland was a free nation still. Fighting English navy is always risky and while winning of Calais strait can be great success in any war, I prefer to fight England from Scotland, using navy as transporters. For future strategy I suggest activation of diplo efforts.
For England; excellent job Caslu and I must admit all of this argumentation about Genoa and Brittany was hillarious. ...especially that care about glorious people of Genoa :rofl:

LOL Nab! I am a very good boy that likes Genoa a lot
and Brittany too, just it... I think that these are the nations that I like the most, of course after England BTW, stop giving advices to my enemies, God damn it
Casluerj said:BTW, stop giving advices to my enemies, God damn it
That was more like a lesson than an advice as I don’t think Scotland will successfully revolt from England again, king Henry will make sure that there aren’t any more William Wallaces in his island…

I would gladly help you with advice but in past times it always went in opposite direction so...

Until a time ago, I was the one that gave advices to you... oh!!!
What I've done??! I created a monster BTW, it wasnt Cak's fault. France was subbed by KJ.

Excatly what I wanned to say!!! Maybe I expressed myself in wrong way.

With all due respect to KJ, he should have watched war between K'shar and me... ...ok over and out for now...
P.S. Pibe left France to its fate so we need a player for it in Imperial Europe: Reinessance (Sundays, 18.00 CEST). Not that we don't need player for BB but France is critical. So if anyone is interested...
