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.

Well, i dreamed to rule Portugal under the terms i gave to you. I`m afraid i hardly find such pair being at the western spot.
The reason, why i gave islands in caribbeans to Venice was already explained. I even didn`t think to give it to Portugal because Portugal was and is staying totally helpless comparing for example England, OE, France or Flandern (or Spain :D ) Portugal cryed for Spain help when was dowed, and did nothing to help Spain under your reign. Spain was ready to assist Portugal in any ways, and got dowed in the return.

Regading your dowing. You probably even didn`t notice you have Canarian islands. And you dowed Spain after she kicked English soldiers from Portugal and suffered stabhits from that ? :rofl:
You probably didn`t realize that Spain can easily let you stay with Tago only in the europe region, when you are doing such suicide attacks :D I suppose Barnius tryed to explain you. Well, you can judje by yourself if you ask your eu2 icq list how many spanish players gave Andalussia & Portugal as goodwill and if that is possible after clear portugal aggression :)

Denis: i`d call your deal as far from being good one. I saw only single interesting semi-conflict far from Spain between France and OE for Africa lands, and i told Barnius i`m sure he`ll deal it diplomatically and France will sell lands. And he sold it to you, lol, so the conflict will go again to "evil Spain" stage (besides now you`ll most probably get insane claims from Portugal, who is far from judjing reality). I doubt Spain would need these lands at all unless you`ll dow OE for connection. But i`m afraid guys won`t let you fair war to beat OE out.
Besides you are paying to France even, and even for letting them take CoT + Corsika... As to Venice, i`d suggest you to offer Venice Emilia, Mantua (with core) and Romagna + cores on Istria and Dalmatia for return of more poor Baleares, Sardinia, Sicily and Messina, Malta back to Spain (with cores). It is fair deal, even very lenient if remember the intention of Venice not to pay 3 600 ducats. Sure they have to sign to pay old debts as well.
Though your enemies failed to hold even single province in a war, and will suffer from own WE and RR before they are able to do anything with Spain.

On the other side, you are right - i may agree with you that it is almost single opportunity to stop insane wishes of gangbangers, while Spain is alone and naval allies (who Spain was kind a lot of times) betrayed. But as you may see, Brandenburg is already not satisfied by their previous demands - 2 provinces & wp all around. Looks like Brandenburg wishes to judje Africa`s matters or he just doesn`t satisfied that France won`t redow Spain.

Congrats with diplomacy, Barnius, highest mark... NAP will end in Turenne golden times, and you are nowhere to be afraid and now you can try to get a piece from English cake... And the papers burn, right ? :rofl:

Generally, England and OE are clear leaders of the game. Totally free in development and no challenge to do anything they wish, while other (France, Flandern, Brandenburg, Sweden, Austria, Poland, Venice) got low tech development&high inflation and they are kicking Spain - single nation, who would be able to compete these leaders. But people let OE have best income, manpower and lands, and their eyes are very big if Spain is near it. They are ready to kick challenging Spain by everything they have. Great for OE, who lost only 90K of their troops in the war - misery efforts comparing good effects. OE totally perfectly controls the region, and noone cares if OE would like to eat Venice or someone else. Everyone cares about Spain in Italy, the only worth thing.

It is clearly that England has no competition in the seas already. Juv almost passed the period, when England could be attacked, only three naval powers are rest - Venice, Portugal and Flandern. Each one is far from any major role in colonization and navy, and each one is doing best to kill Spain ;) I bet England has at least for more than 100 years of the period of total domination & safe borders, and their income will be very good soon...

treaty is not accepted by the german alliance. war will continue...

Well, treaty is accepted by two directly concerned parties, Spain and France, and by Flandres, also part of the same war. The treaty is also looked kindly uppon by Portugal, who was mentioned in the treaty.
 
Im afraid I cant play tomorrow so I will do my very best to find a sub during the day.

I suppose we go with the new patch since I have already installed it.
 
Has Spain taken back it´s proposal to give Milan to Austria? :mad:
Or just missed to (re)confirm it? :)

- - -

I might be a few minutes late for tonights session (workstuff).
 
He seems to have taken it back since france has made a sep peace deal..
 
cheech said:

France made a sepparate peace deal?! Venice and Austria innitiated peace talks and peace was basically agreed, as far as France knows. France than offered a deal that included also Portugal. All the time Spain kept confirming that Austria and Venice would get "a few provinces" and the rest of the countries at war against Spain should sign WP. So, to my best knowledge, Spain haven't taken anything back.

OOC: Since Denis will not be able to play today it would be better to settle the peace with him than with the sub.

Apparently former Spanish ruler is hard to please. Spain got what she wanted in the way she wanted it.
French innitial deal included also Portugal and Spanish plans with Andalusia and Gibraltar, with France leaving all African mainland west of the Niger River to Iberians. Wasn't that what Spain wished for over the century now?
Spain chose the more modest deal and chose to, for the time beeing, have the bulk of French Africa for herself, not for Portugal, with the clear statement that temporary insanity of Portuguese monarch was not to be held against the Portugal as a country and that Portugal and Spain are on good terms now, with talks about Andalusia and Gibraltar continuing between them.
Separately from that, France still intends to hold her word towards Portugal and when the land connection Lisbon-Africa is accomplished Portugal will get the chance to acquire the remaining French African mainland colonies on favourable terms.

France did what the Pact of Ivoria says: left the ambition to rule the large part of Africa. Naturally, Spain also had to give up something. Would it be smart for Spain to persue the MAXIMUM POSSIBLE aggressive policy in Italy? Isn't it enough Spain to own Italy south of Po River? Does Spain have to insist on all the Italy when she can have most of it with not so large opposition against it?

Spain not taking back any of her peace offers. I still agree to give up Milan to Austria, and Muntuja to Venice, WP for BB and OE and I don't know why you want war :wacko:

Then it´s settled. Milan to Austria, Mantua to Venice, WP for BB and OE, Spain and France according to their treaty.

Right?

Things are going really slow here at work, I hope I will make it until 19.00 CET. :(

Forums are not down or anything ? www.theadamo.tk

And norre is GM As of a week ago no ?, Anyway, you can acces the fora trough that link. :)
I can do the GM's duties.
We need subs for tonight. I wont be online until 18 cet, so anyone that's online before that are should hunt.
Do we need to get random leaders into the file for tonight? I have not done that before and will likely not have time for it, this session. If Adam could do it it would be great.
Otherwise I hereby command Barnius to put together a file with at least the edits he's involved in, and if you have time do other players' edits as well.
 
England agrees to trade maps with OE.

OE has asked for 7 (afaik?) provinces from North America which is granted. (Provinces numbers unknown). In return England asks for some maps of territory around Daghestan and India with the following province numbers:


471 (Daghestan, most important)
576
577
564
539
537
1323
1191
1140

Provrince numbers are in history section of ICQ.

That is a feature that unfortunately doesn't work with my installation of ICQ. I have no idea why but one day it just stopped working.
 
sub still missing...

I have ICQ:ed about a 100 odd EU2 players and still no luck with a sub. I will keep trying during the day but I hope we don't allow random vnet subs (RVS) to mess up the campaign? Denis is looking too but I don't know if he had any luck so far. I will mail my detailed instructions (to be read only by the sub) to Norre and assume a responsible sub will follow them.
