France will try settleing it diplomaticly with Spain. The final result could be:
1) Venice and Austria getting "a few provinces"
2) Brandenburg, Ottoman Empire, Portugal and Flandres WP
3) France some way out without Farnese running all around our country :)
 
From the he rules:

"No maptrading with AI/Humans, BUT between session mapchanging of some parts is allowed. ID's Given to GM. (Only 10 Sea Provinces/Normal provinces Taken per player) Btw: Provs need to be adjencent, no provs out of the blue !"

This rule is the most violated and the most frequently changed without the rest of the players beeing noticed ever :eek: . Since the rules were again changed without beeing properly discussed, I am not aware of this change and will act as if it never happened :p .
And the clarity of it is the sepparate issue: "adjencent" is probably "adjacent", meaning next to, but also close to, which is much more relative term. As for "no provinces out of the blue", could that mean not a single land map can be exchanged, since all land onthe Earth is on larger or smaller islands arrising from the "blue" (oceans)? :rofl:

The GM has to be clear.

Tonio said it could be done.

Sorry for some interfere, but i`m retired and my words are nothing. Besides after Portugal dowed Spain, it has right to be annexed only. Iberians was completely ruined since you replaced perm by newbie.

On Denis` place, i wouldn`t give any province - brave Seventh would redow 5-10 years again to split Spain completely to put in "historical borders", which you all love, and kick Spain from Italy (but Venice won`t return islands surely).

As last information, i have to notice the world, that Venice had to pay 3600 ducats to Spain on deferred terms before 1600 for those 9 islands (it is around net price of 10 colonists + bailiff in fact), but it seems like Venice broke this deal immediatly, like previous promise to defend Spain in Med. sea.

Have fun
i`ll have my surgery next week most probably. Now preparement period (switching linses to glasses) & diagnostic
 
Hey, i asked Denis several times ingame about the deal, and i didn't get any response. So when Spain was at war with 5 nations, i saw my change to take what could be mine.

Might be Tonioz, but being Spains puppet for a whole game gets kinda boring. Why should only Spain be a great nation, when Portugal has the potencial too. I didn't see you "giving" me any islands in the Carribian.
 
In my opinion a war debt, ie. a sum promised to be paid in a peace deal but not included in the game technical part should have to be paid within a time that should be arranged between the parties. Before the sum is paid the loser of the war shouldn't be allowed to participate in wars vs the winning party ie. it should be prohibited to lose a war, and the later fight a successful war to get out of debt, potentially with a large coalition. This is similar to having to stay vassalized for 20 years after losing a war over that issue.

On the other hand payments for services, land etc should have to be collected. Here a nation can protect itself by collecting the money or not giving the entire part of the bargain before some payments are done.
 
Henry III, King of France, in his divine wisdom decided his predecessors were too ambitious when dreaming about France as colonial superpower in Africa and blinded by sin of pride when dreaming about forcing Spain with military means (me :rofl: :wacko: ) or diplomatic maneuverings :D to accept French goals both in Europe and in colonies.
France generally is not in the condition to pursue those goals and in the spirit of the latest peace talks between Spain and Austria&Brandenburg as well as Venice&Ottoman Empire, Henry III decided to do the same and the deal offered was gladly accepted by King of Spain.

The assumption for this agreement was all the current wars with Spain will end in the good will, with Austria and Venice getting "a few provinces" while Portugal, Flandres, Brandenburg and Ottoman Empire signing WP with Spain.

PACT OF IVORIA

~1~
France transfers to Spain her colonial cities west of Niger River, along with maps of provinces of Leone and Niani.

~2~
Spain transfers to France her vassalship over Genoa.

~3~
Spain will pay total of 2.000 d in yearly installments of (approximately) 200 d over next (approximately) 10 years.

~4~
In the next 50 years Spain and France will pursue peaceful politics and not declare wars each on another nor will their armies or navies fight each other should they find themselves at war because of some third party actions.​

Signed:

Henty III, King of France
Felipe II, King of Spain
 
Spain fully accept "Pact of Ivoria"

2Portugal: I think WP is acceptable now. I forgive your betrayal, and thik that we may have good relations. We can talk about territories later.

2Venice: I'll give you Mantua, only if you respect old treaty about 3600 gold. I'think it will be fair to return it in next 20 years( about 180 gold/year)

2Tonio: I haven't see another way to stop this "gangband". In such situation there are only two possibilites: 1) Loose some provinces 2) Completly destroy all other countries. Because second option now unreal (why you haven't done that at start of the game ;) ), I choice first :) Maybe, after it, all understand than I'm not so "evil" and "greed" :)
 
Important announcement:

Denis will not be able to play this monday and I will not be able to play the next one (February 14th). The Pact of Ivoria should be the basic guideline for a sub for Spain next session and a sub for France the session after.

No access to AdamoForums, so I will post edit requests here:

FOR EDITING:

FRANCE-SPAIN "PACT OF IVORIA" AND MAP EXCHANGE:
1) From France to Spain 9 cities: Leone, Mossi, Niani, Bure, Bambuk, Say, Zaria, Oye, Accra (IDs 795 1493 1492 1494 1490 1497 1499 1500 792 )
2) Reduce badboy for France by 9, increase badboy for Spain by 3 (1/3 of normal per province taken in the latest betas)
3) From Spain to France: vassalship over Genoa
4) From France to Spain: maps of Leone, Niani and Zanzibar (IDs 795 1492 765 added to Spanish "knownprovinces" list)
5) From Spain to France: maps of Gulf of Mexico, Tampico Bay, Tlaxcala and Dagestan (IDs 904 902 29 471 added to French "knownprovinces" list)

The map exchange between Spain and France was done under the condition that France doesn't acquire monopoly in Tlaxcala COT for 100 years, doesn't take land from Inca and does only limited colonisation for naval bases in the area.

No respons from the GM, no access to his forums...

Just to be safe, I edited in what was written above. The actual FRA-SPA peace is to be signed in game first thing we enter and Spain is to pay 200 d/year for the next 10 years.

The edited firle is here and you can track changes with any better text editor, comparing it with the original.
 
treaty is not accepted by the german alliance. war will continue...
