The new French government wishes to make the following announcement;

After close and serious talks France is happy to announce that an alliance between France, Russia and USA have been signed. This alliance is foremost an defensive alliance.

Queen Victoria disapproves of this spear-rattling and withdraws all diplomatic proposals.

No spear-rattling at all dear Queen. It is after all a defensive alliance

Japan Turn 1

WAR!!!! Spanish-Japanese war has begun!

Today after a Japanese refusal to pay the Spanish crown, Spain declaed waron the empire of the rising sun. Nearby Japanese forces were quickly brought to the scene and landings have begun near Manila, the capital of the Spanish Philippines colony. We urge all nearby ships, particularly the nearby French fleet to withdraw from the Philippines in light of this shocking turn of events. The Japanese Empire hopes this war will be short and that peace in the pacific can once again be restored, once Spain abandons her aggression and stops trying to revive her decaying empire with the use of demands from other empires. Japan will not be victimized by Spanish imperialism.

France respects Japans claim on the Philippines and the French fleet have been pulled out of the area.

Btw i have a question about the strenght of the units in this scenario.

I played the French in singleplayer, and landed 6 artillery (cannon?) pieces outside Bankok. The native infantry killed all of them when i attacked without taking any losses at all!!!

And when i tried something simmilar both in China and Spain, the same thing happened.

Is it really so that you would need 10+ artillery/cannon units to take a single AI controlled city in this scenario?

First, Bangkok is the toughest native city.
Second, veteran rifle artillery (just about 12months of research) can kill everything without taking lots of losses. So just await rifle artillery, and you can take every city you want.

Can I have the Independents?

I thought the Independents are unplayable, am I right?

[Choke]

They're playable, just not recommended.

Reichskanzler Otto von Bismarck to the Reichstag:

Today I have the great pleasure to tell you that an alliance has been signed between the Empire of the Rising Sun und the German Reich. Our two mighty empires shall stand together and - I promise that this will not happen - fall together. I have been assigned to declare this to the Representatives of the German People and to the world.
