Diplomacy in another age

[Paddy]

Beta - Prussia

Ljube-ljcvetko - Russia

Paddy the Scot - France

Modo - Britian

Chrisius Maximus - Spain

AI - Ottomen

AI - Austria


we have taken the Napoleonic Scenario and made some interesting mods :D

the settings:

5 human players - 2 AI

initially no set war agianst any particlar nation
so all set alliances to be removed

we just be europe going about its business etc

the napoleonic pbem map will have some changes

- England will give over its Portuguese holdings to Spain

- England will give over Gibraltar to Spain, if Spain played by a human

- England will give over it's Naples holdings to France and the Ottoman

- Sweden will be split up between England and Prussia
thus Sweden is not a player in the game, but her land starts with two players straight up

- England gets the French Danish holdings for Amsterdam

- Settlers to be enabled

- Bombard option enabled on ships of the line, men-o-war and frigates

Each Nation starts with a war chest of 1450 gold

Each Nation starts with a leader

party on ;)

[Shogun Gunner]

Ganging up on the AI is too easy. Fight it out between England, France and Russia! :)

Paddy, you love that Napoleonic scenario PBEM mod!!!!

[Modo44]

Bananas, as I don't get to play it. Have fun. :ana:


[edit after a loong time]
I did manage to sneak in after all. :Party:

Thanks for understanding Chris :)

[Modo44]

Really, you would? Maybe I could sneak in then?

[Beta]

Five would be good. :b:

Modo,
what civ do you want?

[Modo44]

I was hoping England. Never had the chance to (try to) rule the seas. ;)

[Paddy]

:hmmm: ok then

well that makes Chrisius Spanish

this leaves only 2 AI nations - Austria and the Ottomen

could each of you please email me your password

if I do not have these this evening I will go ahead and create one for you :)

part hard and remember the game is called Diplomacy

[Modo44]

PM-ed password.

Diplomacy is a nice thing, especially when you sit on an island that is really hard to reach. Sea power, baby. :naughty:

[Paddy]

Thanks Modo

and yes you have an amazing start :)

but then each nation has the ability to built ships too

top post updated with the options

discussion available until game starts - approx 9 hours from now :lol:

Neither.

My full name is Ljubisa Cvetkovic, my nick is Ljube and the other thing is an abbreviation (ljcvetko = ljubisa cvetkovic).

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Looks set to be a great game, welcome aboard one and all :)

[Beta]

OK - Ljube it is. :b:

Chrisius - I agree...looks to be a good game. Best of luck all.

[Paddy]

and we are away :D

Diplomacy, to Modo, Jan 1800.SAV



hope you all enjoy

Ok, I have sent oout a group email, this is so we all have a way of communicating etc

the save must flow

please use the thread

this way we all know where the save is etc

if you feel you are going to be away, let us know

beware of the ai - Sultan Sid and Kaiser Sid are a bit touchy :)

I have updated the opening post with the main mods

a bit of extra cash and a leader thrown into the magic

oh will you build a wonder or get an army off the ground

[Modo44]

Ok, I think I'm done with the first turn. ;)

Chrisius, I need your e-mail, please. :)

[Paddy]

Modo

I sent a group email out

everyones in the address section :D


edit: sent you another email with his address :)

the spice must flow

[Modo44]

:idiot: I am hungry. I don't think well when I'm hungry.

Sent.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Turn sent to Prussia :)

[Beta]

According to the game - thios goes to Russia next. Sent to Ljube.

But this is a bit strange as the game showed me as playing in the first slot. ????

[Paddy]

the play order was all hard wired

so the 1st two pleyers were zipped through

:D

[Modo44]

King Modo, ruler of the English people, has issued a statement to all European nations.

"
We, The King, are glad that there are no foreign military vessels operating in the vicinity of English lands. We appreciate the will of other nations to let the peaceful English fishermen do their jobs without any fear of attack. We hope that the future, close and distant, will see us, the rulers, and all our nations still cooperating in this peaceful manner.
"

P.s. The fishermen sent a picture, showing them at work. :D

[Paddy]

Indeed

well we hope your high standards will continue as you venture through the waters of other nations

[Modo44]

Worry not, we have no business in the waters of other nations. :)

[Ljube]

1800 AD sent to Paddy :)

[Paddy]

March 1800ad to Modo

[Modo44]

And on to Chrisius.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Thank you most Kindly King Modo of the British, we will not be sending an Armada of fishing vessels to your waters at this time ;)

Onwards to the good people of Prussia and their ruling Lord Beta :)

[Paddy]

ok folks

I have sent you all an email on this

I did not do the values on bombard correctly

thanks to Modo for testing this and finding the error :)

so as we have just started etc, shall we restart?

[ChrisiusMaximus]

yes if we want bombard to work :)

[Modo44]

Actually I'd rather not. Without bombard the Man-O-War has a real edge over frigates. With bombard it's basically down to who finds whom and attacks first. Nay.

[Paddy]

well it must be noted that the reason we have settlers enabled is to offset the bombard

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Hmm Modo does have a good point there, maybe only ships of the line should have the added ability to bombard ??

[Modo44]

Originally posted by Paddy the Scot

Yeah, like England has any good land to settle into. :lol:

I agree that for ships of the line it does make sense. They are stronger than both frigates and the Man-O-War, so giving them bombard wouldn't change that much.



Paddy, Beta, you might want to check the Monty Python private forum. ;)

[Ljube]

Mother Russia cares not for bombardment.

[Paddy]

so do we go with a restart or not :)

[Modo44]

I don't mind restarting with modification to ships of the line. But I'm still against bombard on frigates. And if there would be so little change involved, why bother in the first place?

Unless you want to add bombard to the Man-O-War and Ships of the line only, that is. ;)

[Paddy]

quite happy to have only the Man-O-War and Ships of the Line upgraded :D

[Modo44]

Originally posted by Paddy the Scot

That would make my build queues quite easy to guess :lol: . Well, if you dare, feel free to make my day. :evilgrin:


BTW, what's going on with the tech cost in this scenario? It seems the tech tree will be over in like 8 turns...

[Paddy]

the tech tree - welcome to the Napoleonic Scenario :D

[Ljube]

Originally posted by Paddy the Scot

I see no connection between the two (settlers and bombard) and I'm indifferent regarding bombard as I won't be building any ships - just cossacks :D

[ChrisiusMaximus]

how about we continue this one now and see how it plays out, then maybe get a second one running wuth the bombard for ships and different nations for each player :D

[Paddy]

and onwards we go :D

[Beta]

Save to Russia.

[Modo44]

Almost two hours now and nothing in my inbox. I'm off for about another two hours, so hopefully it will be there when I'm back. Paddy, if you could please resend it, just in case.

/me wanders off into the big forest

[Paddy]

resent as requested

another idea could be to email me if you have not recieved the save

I just happened to look here to see if you had posted another pic of your fishing boats

otherwise would not have known :)

ahh it's all good

[Modo44]

Both came in and now the save went to Chrisius. Stupid mail server.

I have a question I would like to ask the rulers of Europe. Are the Ottomans and Aussies (not the Australians ;)) really so aggressive, or did you go to war by attacking them? :hmmm:

Oh and about our peaceful sailors... We are refitting HMS Victory for new fishing techniques. Here, take a look at here future equipment. :)

[ChrisiusMaximus]

September 1800 to Lord beta of Prussia :)

Now now your Majesty, surely it is just and right for good Christian nations to put the heretic Turks to the sword, why on earth would England take issue with this ??

We applaud our friends in Russia for there actions and wish them well in their campaign :)

[Modo44]

Well, maybe the Turks can't be called our best firends, but they sure can pay a lot for things they need. :D

But what about Austria? What is going on there? :eek:

And, not to be rude, but what about the French people, who recently did such horrific things to their King? We are truly concerned about the possibility of this "Republic" spreading in Europe. After all, it might even endanger our own sacred Monarchy. Fortunately, they have not taken any aggressive actions, but who knows what to expect of a country ruled by many, instead of one enlightened person?

[ChrisiusMaximus]

That almost sounds like a declaration of war on France, dangerous words, do you have enough Fishing boats to back them up :D

[Modo44]

If England would want to go to war with anyone, we would not be talking with them, we would be sending troops. At the moment, we are far from becoming aggressive towards any European nation.

It is true that we are worried about the happenings in France. We are carefully watching the actions of the new French government. We have also conducted peaceful trade negotiations with the French people, though without reaching an agreement so far.

England wishes all countries in Europe the most peaceful existence possible. We always welcome trading partners whose treasury is not reduced because of unnecessary expenses induced by war.

[Paddy]

Happy fishing Admiral Modo ;)

[Modo44]

Thank you very much, Marchel Paddy. The open seas are rich indeed. :)


This thread is more fun than the game itself. And the other Napoleonian game threads I'm lurking are great to read as well. Thanks guys. :)

[Beta]

To Mother Russia.

[Ljube]

Mother Russia feels uneasy about the appearance of Prussian settlers in the neutral zone between our two mighty empires.

This does not mean we condemn Prussian expansion. On the contrary. Prussians are encouraged to settle, but only after we have agreed a border.

We suggest the following rule: When settling in the border area, a settler is allowed to move the border, but not if such a move would steal any square already in the city radius of the other nation's city.


To Modo44: I have rejected your trade offer as I have nothing to offer in return :(


To Paddy: Save September 1800 :)

[Paddy]

and opnto Lord Modo

[Modo44]

England has a proposal to all European nations. We would like to sing offician Non Aggression Pacts with every major European empire. We wish for peace to reign.


The Civ3 diplomacy doesn't cover this kind of deal, so I'm making the proposal in the above form. It's different from a ROP, which I'm not willing to sign at the moment. The treaties, if signed, should have an impact on future negotiations and other events, as if present in-game.

September 1800 to Chrisius.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Save received and sent to Prussia, but we want to ask our esteemed friends in England how does the song go that you want us all to sing :D

[Modo44]

"Give peace a chance". Or something. But The King won't be singing it, no way. :nono:

[edit] Time to change the sig again. You made me do it, Chrisius. ;) [edit]

[Beta]

To Ljube-jube.

To Paddy: Save September 1800 :)

I agree with your border proposal - and that is why my settler has moved back. And to be honest - I am a bit uneasy about Prussian Ssettlers near the neutral zone as well. :)

[Ljube]

To be honest, I'm perfectly happy with the previous location of your settler since it doesn't steal any of my city-radius squares, so, if you wish, you may move it where it was the turn before :)

I was planning to build a city on the Baltic which would reduce your territory in the sea. The plan was to catch the whale north of Koenigsberg. Take a closer look and tell me if you agree with the city location.

Let me reiterate: Please return the settler to its previous position. I don't mind losing three squares of my territory as long as one of my cities is not compromised ;)


1800 Nov to Paddy :)

[Modo44]

King Modo would really appreciate some answers to his proposal. Why don't you, the Great Rulers, answer kindness with kindness?

[edit - added a little emphasis ;)]

[Ljube]

Mother Russia accepts the friendly English offer. Consider our non-aggression pact signed :)

[Paddy]

Originally posted by Ljube-ljcvetko

France looks for more detail on this matter from England

thank you

[Modo44]

It is very simple. Both countries agree not to take military action against each other. This means attacking any units or ships of the other country. In addition both countries agree not to cross borders with military units (on land and water) without permission (I have not stated this clearly earlier on, so it's not officially included in the treaty with Russia, though England would like it to happen as well.). If you want, the deal could be set for a given time, but at the moment England sees no need to limit its duration. As said previously, England wishes peace and prosperity to prevail. We expect that, should this treaty be dismissed at some point, no hostile action takes place on the same turn.


The ROPs with both AIs work sort of like this Non Aggression Pacts - they keep them from attacking England. I decided to make those in-game, because I think a Non Aggression Pact can improve relationsips, like ROPs do with AIs.

Err, there seems to be something wrong with the scenario. I just met a Spanish Man-O-War. Paddy, did you by any chance leave the ship in Gibraltar for those yellow people to use? Or is the Man-O-War available to everyone here? :rant:

[Paddy]

thank you for this

France accepts this for a period of 2 years from now

November 1800

[Modo44]

If it turns out that Spain can build the Man-O-War and didn't just get this one in Gibraltar, I'll be very angry.

Save went to Chrisius.

[Paddy]

ahhh well yes one was left in Gibraltar

sad don't you think

well it should not worry a nation that only wants peace ;)

[Modo44]

Gentlemen, off the record, this one. ;)

Well, you know how diplomacy works. You give them the big juicy carrot, while holding an even bigger stick. :naughty:

[Ljube]

Sent to Paddy.

Russia has built a city near Prussian border to catch the whale in the Baltic, as per our agreement on city building. Since Prussia lost a square of their territory because of this, we grant the Prussians unsettled area west of the large marsh.

[Paddy]

and onto Modo

[Modo44]

A statement was issued today by King Modo.

"
Recently it has come to our knowledge that pirates have been roaming the Atlantic Ocean not too far from English soil. England will not tolerate the intrusion. We have therefore dispatched a fleet consisting of no less than six Man-O-War vessels in order to deal with the infidels. Go hard on them, boys.
"


Save to Chrisius.

[Paddy]

ahhh mighty Lord Modo

it should be noted by you, and all that we all know the historical path that we started at

YOU are the only person/country with privateers in this region at such a time

so please - enough

I did not complain when your privateer attacked my lad

and what / who else could have privateers yet :)

so please let us hear your truths

[ChrisiusMaximus]

I have the turn but work beckons so Ill play it later :)

Your Majesty, though we appreciate any assistance in our fight against Piracy in the Atlantic, We will not tolerate any English shipping in our waters!! All transgressors will be sunk on sight!!!

[Paddy]

Ahhh Lord Chrisius,

please remember that the Mighty Lord Modo has made several fine and splendid speeches on how he will not be treading the waters of any nation :)

He is afterall a mighty man of peace.

To the Kings knowledge, England has not attacked any French vessels so far. And we do not plan to.

Originally posted by Paddy the Scot

I could say that any other country with shipyards could send those out into the ocean. But judging from your statement, you would hardly give it a thought.


King Crisius, please, worry not. The English fleet shall keep at a good distance from foreign sea borders. We wouldn't want you to get upset with us.

:lol: indeed, and in all good faith bloody hard to prove unless you have played the English in this scenario more than 5 times hey ::)

have fun

[Modo44]

The game is about diplomacy after all. Nobody said it was supposed to be clean. :naughty:


The official English claim remains. The pirate ships will be either sunk or driven away. The waters shall be kept safe by the fleet for trade vessels to cross without fear of attack.

[Paddy]

ok, so who has the save now :)

[ChrisiusMaximus]

It was with me Sire we were having an extended siesta, we were so tired from hunting all these pirates England speaks of :)

Prussia we have sent you some proposals we hope you find them to your approval and we wish your people the very best of regards :)

Marachel Paddy though we too have no proof of whom is fielding fleets of dastardly Pirates off our coasts, we do however have our suspicions.

We would like to formally tell you that one of our Navies frigates spotted an injured French frigate over a year ago now and we also intercepted a privateer who no doubt was responsible for your damages, we imediately sent the salty sea dogs to the bottom to feed the fishes :)

Sadly since that incident Pirates have sank our Flagship the Man O War Santa Maria, who was out patrolling looking for more Pirates. Strangely as it may seem this happened only after England complained bitterly at the realisation that Spain posessed such a vessel, we were horrified to find that just such a vessel had then disappeared from the face of the Oceans!!

Our nations brightest thinkers are searching hard to find the answer to the question, just which nation is it that is responsible for these atrocities ???

[Ljube]

Russia is certainly not. We have in fact disbanded some of our ships for shields to speed up the production of Cossacks.

[Beta]

[Paddy]

woo hoo

I sold every thing to everybody asap

then swung everything to production

then I rush things when they are at the right price

France is one big war machine :D

Originally posted by Modo44

[Ljube]

Russia surpasses all other nations in military strength, save the French. We are, however, not afraid of the French military might as we have no aggressive attitude towards the Republic. But we feel that war cannot be fought just for the sake of it, but must have a proper justification.

We know France is at war with the Ottoman Empire and we hope that their goal for entering this war was to support the righteous Russian struggle to bring freedom, peace and prosperity to the Balkans.

We fail to see the reason for the French aggression on Austria, however, except as pure imperialism.

Russia would like to be proven wrong in this instance, as we hold our friendship with the French people dear.

[Modo44]

Ahh, the hungry Republic... Sad, so very sad. ;)

Paddy, are you ever going to answer my PM from last week?


Save to Chrisius.

[Paddy]

The Austrians are at war with us.

And I am at war with the Ottoman with you Russia

We are strong in this, as has been shown in the battles with Ottomen forces in the past year, and will hopefully be proven once and for all in the very very near future :)

Lord Modo, my apologises, being out here on the front lines, well would you believe that I have been just a tad busy this past week

I have sent urgent despatch riders back to Paris for this communication, and thus will reply to you in the coming days
Thank you for your patience with me :)

see now, do you want a donut?

Oh, but please, don't. King Modo is sure not only he would like to know the reasons for your war with Austria. Did they atack or did you? Either way, what caused it?

[Ljube]

Sent to Paddy.

As for the "carving up this ottoman empire", we are only interested in liberating the Orthodox Christians. This includes cities of Belgrade, Mostar and all other cities in the Balkans.

We advise the French to stay clear of these cities, as the local Serb populace might not consider French forces liberators.

[Paddy]

I have the turn

and as you may be aware I am not at home this week

I am on a laptop that is operating version 1.22

yet is not opening all games which is strange

I am not sure what is going on

here is a screenshot of what is coming up, then the Civ program closes down

any ideas?

[Modo44]

Some files might have diferent names with and without PTW installed prior to Conquests. Try changing the Knight.ini, so that it points to the sounds that are present (might be in the Art\Units\ folder of Civ3 or PTW or Conquests; might have a slightly different name). This is scenario-independent, so you won't be doing anything harmful to the save.

[Paddy]

:hmmm: 17 games so far :(

all very sad

If I had known I was going to be away this long I would have brought my PC :D

I will try this later :)

[Ljube]

I'll try loading the save when I get home in a couple of hours and post the screenshot.

EDIT: Do you need a sub Paddy? I can sub for you in your other games if you wish. Send me the list of games and passwords on my email ;)

And one more thing. Paddy, get back home already. Please. http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/grinser/grinning-smiley-048.gif

[Paddy]

asap old asap :D

thank you one and all for your continuing patience with me in this situation :D

[Paddy]

and onto Lord Modo

[Modo44]

With great pleasure, we wish to announce, that, as of today, the great Empires of Britain and Russia are officially bound by a Mutual Protection Pact. A Right of Passage agreement has been signed as well. This means, that any aggressive action against one country will draw immediate, forceful response from the other. And, as sad as we feel about it, this will probably mean a war between England and the Ottomans.

There is a matter, that has us very concerned. Some very disturbing news come to Britain from Austria. Not only have they been attacked by Prussian forces. Now, the French people began aggressive conquest of the country as well. What is going on in Europe, we ask?! How much more terror will be sown by warmongering France? Please, let us stop this insanity. :eek:


Signed, His Majesty, Ruler of Britain, Ruler of the Seas, King Modo

[Paddy]

You be quite funny old chap

The war with Austria and the Ottomen has been on for some time, as we are all sure that you are aware ;)

[Modo44]

Well, apparently the Austrians weren't worried enough until recently. Right now, we see many people come to Britain, trying to escape the horrors of war. Might it be due to the increased pace of the French offensive, that still hasn't been explained?


Btw, sorry about keeping te save. I decided to sit down and rename all units. Better have that done, before any battle reports will be needed. ;) I should be done soon.

[Paddy]

increased.... more like decisive :D

[Modo44]

That is a bad looking grin, Marchel Paddy. The actions of France endanger the balance of power in Europe. Mark my words, you are going too far.


(The save just went to Chrisius.)

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Modo I dont mean to offend but you have renamed your ships and not left in their unit type, this is considered as against the rules as far as Im aware.

Its okay to give your units names but you must leave their class ie Frigate or man o War etc so other plauyers can tell what it is they are faced with.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

We would like to ask England as to their intentions regarding the fleet of their ships sailing so close to Spanish waters, do they seek to annoy the Spanish ?

Please if you are legitamately seeking to destroy your, oops those privateers that are lurking in these waters then please do proceed, but do not enter Spanish sovereign waters!!!

Bummer. They look so stupid with the unit types in front of them. Ok, I'll put those back in. :(

Besides, you can still distinguish what they are - based on attack and defense values. Oh well.

As you well know, King Chrisius, English envoys have been sent to Spain, to talk about the matter. And, talks have begun with you. You know exactly what we plan to do with those ships, so please, stay calm. They are in no way violating Spanish territorial waters, and they are not there to attack any Spanish vessels.

[Modo44]

Originally posted by Paddy the Scot

Threaten? No. Warn, yes.

Your moves are directed east, where our friend and ally Russia has her lands. We are deeply concerned about your forces, and their march. Can you asure us they will stop, and not just try to keep going?

[Paddy]

ahhh yes, and if you read the posts you would know that I am allied with Russia on the war against the ottoman, and thus could then be allied with you in this

also I am allied with Prussia in the war against Austria

so Lord of Peace, are you now a man of war?

[Modo44]

I am perfectly aware of the current situation. What worries me is future development. And you still gave no reasons for attacking Austria.

[Paddy]

my involvement in the war with austria has two parts...

1. in answer to a request to keep these agressors from taking over the world, of course ;)

2. to protect my own humble borderlands

[Modo44]

Funny, we thought protection didn't involve eradicating every trace of the "threat". We saw no aggression from Austria, so we can hardly believe it is them who were the threat in the first place. They looked more like an easy target for someone. That's so sad. :shame:

[Paddy]

oh it is not that sad - really :D

[Beta]

Save to Ljube.

[Paddy]

- England will give over it's Naples holdings to France and the Ottoman

- Sweden will be split up between England and Prussia
thus Sweden is not a player in the game, but her land starts with two players straight up

- England gets the French Danish holdings for Amsterdam

- Settlers to be enabled

- Bombard option enabled on ships of the line, men-o-war and frigates

Each Nation starts with a war chest of 1450 gold

Each Nation starts with a leader

party on ;)

sounds like some interesting twists

any chance of a pic of the scores :)

[Modo44]

What scores? You mean the scores of dead Austrians? :shame:


If you mean the weird numbers... there's no point. They can be very misleading.

But some screenies of some battles would be nice indeed. Too bad I'm not having any... yet. Paddy? Ljube? Please? http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/grinser/grinning-smiley-048.gif

Lord Modo of the British we welcome your dlegates and look forward to a mutually beneficial deal :)

Please forgive our lack of reply these last few days but there are a great many matters of state :)

[Modo44]

Ahh, that is not a problem at all, King Chrisius. As you know, there is enough time for a thorough discussion. We are always happy to welcome your envoys. :)

That is good news from our Russian friends. We hope you can achieve your goals as planned. :b:

[Paddy]

oh a thorough discussion was it

and a private one to boot

so mighty Lords, who cover many sides of my country

is there some thing in this that I may be able to assist you with here?

:D

[Modo44]

:lol:

I'm sorry, but I had to laugh. No, Marchel Paddy, you can't help Britain in that matter. Our ships can't go over land. ;)

[Paddy]

oh indeed... well anytime I can assist and all that :)

[Beta]

[Ljube]

To Emperor Paddy.

I have just realised that French Cavalry has 8,4,2 stats while poor Russian Cossacks have 5,2,3.

Is this right?

[Modo44]

Yup, we all got screwed. ;)

France can train units with extremely high combat values, but they are very expensive. All units have different costs, based on their stats. Training those with lower combat values can take considerably less time.

[Paddy]

ahh the price I have to pay for being Emperor of France :D

Ljube, ahh you have sent me Betas save to you :)

Sorry for the slight delay folks. With the in-laws visiting, I am having to grab my on-line time in 15 minute bites.

Almost caught up.

[Ljube]

Russian foreign minister has received a plethora of strange proposals from various European powers, all of them including generous offers to Russia without specifying what they expect in return.

As we suspect the technology (Naval something :lol: ) received from the English is a friendly gesture, we accepted the offer, but a similar proposition from Great Emperor of France was not accepted as we had nothing to offer in return, sadly.

[Paddy]

oh well peace to our Russian friends

My lord Modo,

I wont accept any Privateers in my waters and will not allow them to pass through.

I have asked you to turn them back, you tell me i have no right to tell you what you can send, I disagree.

You agreed to no Piracy!!! so you do not need privateers.

Frigates are just as able to scout ahead if that is necessary, and historically that was and still is their purpose.

I will not budge on this issue, if you persist in your folly then you only have yourself to blame.

NO PRIVATEERS!!!

[Beta]

Well it was quiet until Johnny Depp showed up. :)

Save to Ljube.

[Modo44]

What privateers? What ARE you talking about, King Chrisius? The glorious Royal Navy has taken care of those long ago. Didn't you notice the heavy presence of British warships in the open waters? There are no more privateers near northern Spain, northern France, or Britain. Any pirate trying to enter these waters is immediately pursued, and sunk! Actually, they have stopped a while ago, in fear of our admirals. Please, calm down, and don't mistake light support vessels for pirates! I really hope you are a reasonable man, King Chrisius.

[Paddy]

Interesting how even my humble lads saw some of these vessels in your fleet recently....

and yes the fleet was in international waters....

interesting indeed

[Modo44]

I think I have to repeat myself, to be heard... Would pirates fly the British flag? And be a part of a British warship fleet? I can tell you: no, they wouldn't.

In the year of our Lord 1802, being the month of March, the following British Fleet configuration was spotted sailing off the Peninsula City of Brest

Please, Mighty Lord of Britian, could you thus explain the full break up of your Fleet?

[Paddy]

Maybe I am mistaken on the meaning of Privateer

So I had my schoalrs present the following report

:hmmm: does not look good for you and your word old chap...

Looking forward to your explainations on this indeed

[Ljube]

Mother Russia has but one transport ship and one frigate, though we have just built a brand new naval academy in our capital.


Turn sent to Paddy, Jul 1802.

[Paddy]

So what do the rulers of Mother Russia say about Britons actions here...

[Paddy]

AD 1802, July to the very quiet British Lord Modo....

[Ljube]

It may be prudent to investigate the situation more closely before issuing any proclamation as the supposed culprits are our pact brothers. We shall dispatch in haste our frigate Tsarina Elizabeth to the disputed area. She will be fully capable to investigate the conflicting claims of France and Britain and report back on the actual situation.

[Paddy]

Well done indeed

It is hoped by the international community that England will open up the Straits of Denmark, thus allowing you through

As co-owner/operator/ signatory of the Channel Document, I hereby give my permission for your Frigate, the Tsarina Elizabeth to make passage through the Channel

[Modo44]

Originally posted by Paddy the Scot

Very well then, here you go. This is to all rulers of Europe, except the Ottomem.

Britain knows, that there were vessels in the Atlantic, that committed piracy. We have sent our navy to pursue, and sink each and every one of them. This has ended a few months ago, as no more of those "privateers" were found lurking around.

The following information is confidential, so please, don't disclose it to the public. We have commisioned a few of our own ships, that look very similar to the pirates. This allowed us to lure them close to our warships, where they could be dealt with much easier. Had we tried to find them with just warships, I assure you mighty Lords - there would still be privateers lurking. We have lost many of the small vessels (the pirates aren't exactly known for good manners, even between themselves :( ), but some have prevailed. To be exact, we have two - the ones Spain is so paranoid about.

Now we are sending an expedition into presumably hostile waters. We don't know what people live (and hide) in unclaimed parts of Africa. We also don't know the size and whereabouts of the Ottoman fleet. But most of all, we are worried about possible pirate raids. Surely you will understand, that scouts will be invaluable in there. I agree we could be using frigates. Unfortunately, they are of British build, and can't be mistaken for the boats most small countries use. Such scouts would draw much unwanted attention. :(

As I have assured King Chrisius many times (for example, by signing a treaty that confirms it...), all British ships will travel throug Spanish waters without leaving the fleet. We trust completely, that our southern friends can defend us from any perils, therefore no scouting will take place. Please, tell me, what other actions do you require to let those ships pass?

Now, if others could guarantee us safe passage, after we leave Spanish waters, that might change our position considerably. As long as we have to count on our own abilities to defend, I'm afraid the special scouts are necessary.


As for the Russian frigate, of course we will let it through. But, this solution has one big downside. It would delay our help enormously, and our pact brothers are fighting a war, if you haven't noticed. Transport ships are slow already, you know. :(

For now, we have vary reluctantly sent messages to the two ships in question. They will not enter Spanish waters, until this matter is resolved.

Forgive our harsh response, Marchel Paddy, but France has little to say in that matter. You don't exactly control the Gibraltar Strait, do you? Hopefully your ally will remember the presumption. You don't own Spain, do you? :rolleyes:

Well, thank you very much. Judging by the stubborness we encounter, not everyone is.

Originally posted by Paddy the Scot

Yes. It's a ship class. It is determined, basing on weight, and speed. Nothing more, and nothing less. Their role remains to be decided by the user, mind you. The Royal Navy uses them as scouts. The British Man-O-War crews can board and capture enemy ships as well, you know. Will you call them pirates now? :rolleyes:

Why would Britain return these ships to York? They are not needed there at the moment. And what exactly do you mean by "proving me wrong"? :hmmm:


King Chrisius! Somehow we thought that paying for passage would allow British ships to actually pass. Somehow, this doesn't seem to be the case. Strange. We are not pleased, I tell you.

[Paddy]

ok you are not that good a diplomat

a privateer is a pirate ship to any other nation in any language

duhhhhh !!

[Modo44]

I'm sorry, but if any small warship, even flying the British flag, is considered a pirate, then I don't follow the reasoning you try to pressure here.

Anyway, Britain won't give you any more reasons for aggression. HMS Beagle, and the New Lands have turned away, and are returning to York for patrol duty. We shall remember this.

[Paddy]

Well on behalf of France, keep them in harbour

[Paddy]

To His Royal Highness, Modo, King of Britian

For some time you have tried to convince me that your Privateers are but Scouts

Scouts you say

Scouts that have no nationallity

Like the butcher of Cambodia was just a gourmet cook....

Yes your privateers can be classed as scouts, good value

Yet to all other nations they are pirates. They can attack and do damage and leave no NO trail of what nation they represent

you know, we know it

you acknowledge it, we acknowledge it

then you want us to roll over and kow tow to your desires that we be dumb to the actions of said vessels

all very very strange

you want it both ways as you slide down a very slippery poll that has long since seen the varnish that is called the truth...

as to your many comments on the fact that Spain is the only nation you need talk to regading entry to the Med

Well Sire France is a signatory of the Gibraltor Agreement of Passage

Along this Franceis also one of several Naval Nations based within
the Med.

Your nation would be a visitor to this region.... so you really need understand that your demands have far reaching implications.

Yet do you take others into consideration in these matters

No not at all

Instead you keep coming back with some insignificant set of details that the privateers in your fleets are but scout to your Admirals

Well I must admit to being quite please to hear that you have returned these two vessels to Harbour

As your friend, and as a fellow Nation sharing the waters in the Atlantic, the North Sea and our Channel, I hope there will be no further instances of my frigates dissappearring

You have quite loudly proclaimed that there are now no, I repeat NO pirates in the northern waters, so that will then mean that if my lads mysteriously dissapear then you and your PRIVATEERS can only be to blame

We hope all is well in your Island Nation, and that we will see you on the Continent at some stage soon

Regards,

Paddy of France

Originally posted by Paddy the Scot

No, they won't. Now that we know how ungrateful other nations are, we have decided to withdraw our Atlantic fleet. We will use the ships strictly for home defense. We can't, and won't guarantee safety for those, who don't respect us. We are sure Spain and France can handle any pirates without help from Britain. From now on, you will have to.

Note that HMS Beagle will remain on duty near York. It will pick up scientists, and drop anchor to do some research in the area. Should it disappear, we'll know whom to blame.

We do, and that fleet is on it's way, as you know. But, there will be no more British ships near French, or Spanish waters in the north, with the exception of the British Channel, of course.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

OK my Lord Modo we have now closed off access to our waters from the North.

This rolling blockade will escort you as you sail through our waters, and our scout ships or frigates as we prefer to call them will be keeping an ever watchfull eye on your fleets actions :D

We would suggest that you send all of your junior diplomats back to Eton for intensive training in ettiquette!!

Lest then we may reduce the level of tension between our two nations.

[Modo44]

We welcome the escort you give us. Note, however, that the fleet is moving 5 tiles per turn, and we agreeed that you wouldn't obstruct it.

We didn't come to play in a labirynth, we came to pass through, using the shortest route. Which you have blocked, deliberately, by more than one ship. You really like angering Britain, it seems. Don't try it again.


To rename units: SHIFT+n.

[Paddy]

when you have the unit open, hold down shift-N

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Right now My Lord Modo we are sick and tired of your English insolence!!!

The way is open and clear for your ships and you well know this!!! You may have to sail one sea square south west rather than directly South so WHERE IS THE PROBLEM ???

We do not trust you is that a surprise to you so we have made shore you have as little access to our shores as possible.

Now get your ships out of our waters as fast as you can
or my admirals will be granted their wish to use your ships as target practice!!!

[ChrisiusMaximus]

You have three ships sitting on the path of the shortest route through and out of your waters. The three directly south of our main fleet, which will be forced to make a detour because of it.

I see you have a screenshot posted which proves me right so move your fleet on and enough of your bothersome whining!!

Do continue your voyage towards the Ottomans please, for Russia fears she may need assistance against these villains again.
