Well, previously Prussia and England may have been allies, but not anymore.

[Alibaster]

I know... water under the bridge. What is troublesome is Prussia speaking on behalf of both Russia and France regarding trade... when I believe it was Russia who implored you to open your own borders to trade a few posts ago... this was after you made bold overtures regarding troops on the border of Austria. Now your going 'poodle' on me... no offense France. I'm not sure how deep your alliance goes, you seem to be the only one enthusiastic about it. We have made arrangements, and since you claim such cozy relations, I would expect you to honor them.

[Choke]

Well I don't understand what "poodle" means here but I spoke for France and Russia because starting with my turn the agreement went into effect and I was told I should announce it on the thread. Besides this I never made any agreement with England so I don't understand the whining, I'm doing what's best for Prussia, not England.

[Galvatron]

The king of Spain urges Britain to come down and not push France too far. We just would like to remind King George what happened to his country (France troops in Britain ). I'm sure he doesn't want to see this again. This time Spanish soldiers will march with the French and Napoleon and King Ferdinand will dine in the Buckingham palace .

Also Spain would like to draw your attention to the fact that we are the country with the longest tradition. Spain was on the height of it's power when others were nothing else than a funny little island full of farmers or didn't even existed. So for future issues kings should settle their matters peacefully and bring their claims to the Spanish Emperor. We will investigate the matter and decide on the base of facts. The countries (and we use this term very loosely) shall trust in the wisdom and the experience gained by Spain in centuries when asking for a decision. Spain will take the place as the most important country in the world back and you all have to recognize the long lasting tradition of this fine country. We can only laugh when some kings try to label their possessions as a state when they are nothing else as a bunch of small duchies thrown together and this whole construct isn't even ONE century old when Spain had seen many of them.

We dictated the science, architectural styles, the exploration of new worlds, the military fields, the fashion,... for centuries. We build colonies in America when the rest of the world didn't even know of this new continent.

So to bring my speech to the end:
The court of Madrid is opened and we await all claims being brought before them if it's in Scandinavia, Russia or anywhere else as Spain is the most established world power and has the right and the duty to create peace in Europe. Spain’s sphere of influence is the whole world and no other country can match with us in case of tradition and wisdom therefore it's legitimate that we take the role of world mediator. When only one country think they have a longer history than we they can have the role but there isn't any. So pay attention to the most wise King Ferdinand and the greatest colonial power of all time:
!!SPAIN!!

I suppose whining is fair.... "poodle" is simply a term of endearment... conjuring an image of a yippy little dog... though tenaciously protective can easily be kicked aside. Prussia is not on the North Sea... and should tend to it's own affairs being currently engaged in a war with Sweden. It seems that what is best for Prussia would be to concentrate it's effort there and kindly butt- out of what Britain and France agreed upon was in their best interest.
If this new pact with France and Russia does restrict trade we find that most unfortunate, but of course will abide. However, no trade will be permitted with Britain either... gotta keep the books balanced you know.

We respect Spain's opinions in world affairs and welcome Spain's gesture to mediate in the future.

[Choke]

The Prussian Foreign Ministry would like to express its wish that Spain would be allowed to join France, Russia and Prussia in free trade, of course Spain would then have to stop trading with England and Austria. Furthermore while Prussia doesn't border the North Sea it soon will border Norway via Sweden and does not want a land border with England. While Norway may not be incorporated into Prussia the Chancellor does not wish to see it swallowed by the British Empire.

Could you be a bit more descriptive in what you did last turn?

Trade? Major Unit Movements? Diplomatic Efforts? Ant cities captured?

Thanks

[Civfan]

dont worry i will. Just nothing happend. so here we go

[conmcb25]

Moved units towards the Swedish and Constantinople front.

Moved trade around heading for Western Europe.

Wondering what the Austrians are up to I noticed a lot of Troop movements around Bucharest, does the Hapsburg Regime want to offer an explanation?

- France has declared war on Sweden in assistance of our Russian allies, and on the second of January, French forces from Denmark captured Goteborg in a light amphibious raid. More troops are on their way.

- Tunis emptied, but it won't be occupied for months.

- Hannover occupied.

Is the file named "attachment" for some reason? It's happening to me too for the last day or two, and I can tell you how to fix it.
