The French Republic 1868-1872
Our readers, this an account to the uber war mongering Dutch Prime Minister regarding a question during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870:
Timmah, in answer to your question "why did you cave to the Prussians Habs?"
1) foremost my cheese eating surrender monkeys
, err, rather the French Army performed brilliantly against the Prussians (serious folks.) This allowed Habs to "have great face" and allowed me another of my stunning diplomatic maneuvers. (see below)
2) I am a wonderful selfess person, who thought Prussia should be able to form Germany within confines of game. We are having fun and learning.
Diplomatic offer to his most Imperial Majesty the King of Prussia - occupy Paris and sell back Metz, Mulhausen, and Stassbourg for 100 pounds.
The Prussians had lost several divisions against the French Army early on, having gained access through Belgium( .) The French Army had mobilized and was on the chase. The war would have dragged on, and on, with no conclusive outcome. France did not have the means to occupy 80% of Prussia and keep the meddling Austrians off it's back. True UKai™ could have helped, but I only used them to counter-wieght the Austro-Prussian alliance. Plus I trusted Katmai's ability, and the war could have turned against France.
So the true Germany formed (perhaps Austria should now be divided up by culture ) and France kept Alsace-Lorraine intact. Everyone won, oh dear, I grow weepy with joyous emotion.
France declared war on Abu Dhabi, due to the murder of a French missonary in Dubai. We will not tolerate this sort of action and Abu Dhabi will pay the price for it's folly.
I am currently shuffling around French Industry (again) to maximize performance. The AI played France through the early 50s, when I joined.
Timmah (Timothy O) also made some changes during my absence two session ago (which were great, but not in my plans)
Regards to all, even the aggressive Dutch,
Habs
Premier European Diplomat and the man behind the curtain in France
(PS-I really love this game )

Belgian Republic~1868-1872
A very uneventful session for Belgium. We watched the Austrians and Russians destroy the Ottomans and Germany formed.
On the home front taxes have been lowered all around and slowly but surely spending is getting to where we want it to be. We are now in alliances with Prussia,Russia and France assuring our hopes for peace with Europe.
We traded away Madgascar and our African holdings to the UK for Jamaica and a little bit of the Yuctan.

Kingdom of Prussia/Germany 1868-1871(2)?
After reorganizing from the recent war with our Dutch neighbors, we sadly were drawn into conflict with another of our neighbors...the French. After masterful diplomacy from our French counterpart we were able to come to a resolution that brought all the various Germanic states under our control as a new organized Germany.
Responding to Dutch aggression throught the world, we decided it was in our best interest to protect the defenseless Indians by bringing them into our glorious German empire.
We added defense treaties with France and have renewed past alliances with the Belgians, Russians, and most importantly our allies in Vienna.
So ends the 1st chapter of the new dynamic German state.

I smell a storm in the east. Russia and Austria are the contenders for the Alpha Dog in Europe (not counting UKai(tm).) Germany, with it's plentiful resources, is in a position to compete for Alpha Dog as well. As we all know they boarder one another.
There are IIRC several overlapping alliances and defense treaties amongst the humanoids. One mobilization could result in, oh my, I don't wish to contemplate such a distaster to humanity.
And then there is the uber-warmongering Dutch, annexing everything ROTW that is not nailed down. The Dutch appear to have sold tech to the Ottoman-ai. This upset the Austrians and Russians a great deal as both were carving the poor Turkey. How will the Great Powers react to the Dutch?
All this and much more going down soon.

We seem to be most stable at the 7 player mark, any more and lag is an issue, not to mention the dman compression. So sorry
Austria Empire 1868-1872 To the best of my recollection (it’s been a few days)
Finally the war with the Ottomans was started. My glorious rebuilt Army was ready for war in late 69, but the war with The ottomans was postponed for almost a year to allow Russia to build up the money and forces necessary to take down the Ottomans. In 1871 Russia and myself declared two separate wars against the heathen turks to keeps the spoils even. The Austrian army struck down through Bosnia with little to no opposition, while Russia attacked through Romania and the provinces which had made up the Persian Empire. Both Austria and Russia were making great headway into Ottoman territory despite the Ottomans having some very good techs, techs supplied by NL before Austria’s threat was given (a threat that still stands, although no further territory is wanted from the ottomans). A few months into the Ottoman campaign Prussia declared war on France. The Austrian Empire sided with it’s German brother and sent a 4 unit loaned calvary force into France to either take Paris or just cause trouble behind the lines. More units were promised after the Ottoman war was over, but France and Prussia came to a diplomatic agreement. Going back to the Turkish war, Both Austria and Russia made headway into the Ottomans European territory, with Russia stopping 2 provinces out of Constantinople. Russia made peace with the Ottomans getting a large section of the former Persian territory and 3 Romanian Provinces. These Romanian provinces were sold to Austria for Machine Guns, and I promptly gave them to Walachia. With Russia out of the war, Austria went into overdrive to capture Constantinople. This operation was competed with 2 Enforcer Armies, comprising of 7 units each (a mixture of Artillery and Guard Divisions). The Ottomans lost 15 divisions in there brave, but ultimately futile, attempt to keep Constantinople. Peace was made, and Austria received 13 territories, comprising of all of Bosnia and 4 Romania provinces. Victory was marked with a “Boo yaa” over the chat. The 4 Romanian Provinces were given to Uber-Walachia, as coined by Russia. Austria is pleased that it’s child has grown so large.
With war and debt out of the way, I always seem to make money in wars , Austria set about to increasing her military might. Here standing army is almost the largest in the world, second only to the UK, and with exception to her 2 4 unit calvary force is comprised of attached units. Her army is the jewel in Austria’s crown. Money is still rolling in, and both Lux and Steamer factories were expanded. All that is needed now is a upgrade of Austria’s railroads.
And thus ends this chapter of Vicky MP attempt #2

I meant the next game session you get going, not this one!

HVc can be a little slow, will let you know as soon as we get it going, all depends on the release date of 1.03
Katmai73 said:
That's it, you're banned from the MP
And yes, there is another MP scheduled for 1.03, but we'll finish this one first, or wait for the big game ending war, or whichever comes first. There is a order for sign ups though. First dibs go to *a site i don't think i can mention here*, then Languish.org, and then if need be sign ups go here. So your best bet is to get a link to the forum which must not be named (
) through Languish in order to get a good country .

A sub for tomorrows Vicky game.
We start at 11am est=4pm gmt
Playing with patch 1.02, most likely last week before we restart fresh with a 1.03 game.
If any one is interested just click on the link to the thread at languish, which should be in both mine and HVC's sigs.
Cheers

The Neatherlands 1868-1872
The Republic of Texas was immediatly invaded by 50,000 veteran troops and annexed. Colonial war was then declared on the United States, the territory of Oklahoma was claimed, and a fort in southeastern Colorado siezed. Hati was then invaded and annexed, and a joint Dutch-British invasion of her ally Venezuela conducted. The western third of the country was annexed to the Dutch crown. Then 60,000 troops took the long trip around Africa and landed in Southern Pakistan, where three independent countrys were soon overrun and brought to the Dutch Crown. Efforts at securing a Western-European alliance to oppose the Unification of the Germans came to nought.

Did this one end abruptly? What happened? Or is it all coming to an explosive end that you will all bring us up to speed on?
*off to Kap tp sign up*
The v1.02 ended last Saturday, with the Dutch aggessors BB catching up with him. Netherlands was warred on by nearly all humans and most of the AI.
We have elected to restart with v1.03 this Satuday and we will keep an AAR for those interested.
I am going to suggest the name:
The Ioanian Spring for Empress Elisabeth : or Sisi can't hack court life.
