For Spain to forgive Denmarks repeated agression 700 gold would have to be payed to Spain and Austria respictively over a period of time that may be suggested by the Danes.
Furthermore 2 units of peasents shall be supplied to the netherlands.

This is the only way for Denmark to save herself the rightfull crusade which Spain and France will undertake against her.

Darius the last time I checked this was pre-reformation. You are a catholic dog as well.

Gee, strange that I have the Reformation tech, and my government is a reformed monarchy which I announced to be fiercely Protestant.

Aggression against France? We sank an armada that was on its way to invade our homeland! Any peace agreement would have to involve written acknowledgement of French war guilt, and NO reparations to France.

700 each?

[Darius871]

Btw guys, did we agree that you have to disband ground units that remain after a transport is sunk? I don't really remember.

Ooops , my apoligizes, I guess I missed that one.

Well I guess you will have to renounce your Protestantism as well.

Henrik, Are we supposed to get the reformation this early?

Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the wittenberg church door in 1517, of the playable civs Sweden switched religions first (in the 1520s). What I've done to make things fair for multiplayer is to allow everyone acces to the reformation tech from the start (and the reformation really did start in 1517 so it isn't too unrealistic, even though most playable nations in this scenario waited longer before switching).

I am open to suggestion for future versions (and perhaps future scenarios which might use similar govt systems) though, do you all think it would be better if I gave the reformation tech to civs on the date which they switched religions historically?

Nope, Henrik you are WAY more up to speed then I am about this period of European history.

(I still enjoy that website you told me about for the Polish History from time to time.)

I stand corrected, I should have checked but I thought Luther came later in the 16th Century.

Darius, that Fleet would have anyway standed still for about.. 6-9 turns..

[Darius871]

So what? That doesn't tell me anything about their intentions. All I knew was a) you are a Catholic nation and would be the logical place for Spain to go for help b) you had ships loaded with troops and attack galleys north of the Spanish Netherlands and c) your explanation for them was a lie. Taking these three things into account sinking your fleet was the only option.

Again: if you don't like having your fleet be driftwood, then tell the truth the first time.

I believe the Swedes will agree with me on most if not all of these points. (My fellow nuetrals in this tragic war.)

We agree. The last thing that we want is a war, but it there is going to be a coordinate attack of all Christian kingdoms against Denmark as a retalation for Denmark's alliance with the Turk, the catholic (but soon Protestant) kingdom of Sweden will consider join.

BTW, We firmly believe that the Turk Empire is a danger for all Europe, Catholic or Protestant. The Sweden Empire is going to put under its protection the Ortodox Countries of the Baltic Sea in order to prvent problems with the Turks!

Several spanish ships has set out for Denmark this year.

On the spanish mainland the Communeros rebelion is finnaly crushed with the fall of Toledo. Several measures has been taken to tighten royal controll over Spain's subjects...

In Italy following the dangerous heathen uprisings in Germany and in light of the Danish Crowns alliance with the Sultan of Istanbul the eternal city of Rome has asked for and recieved Spanish protection. The papal states are now to be considered a Spanish protectorate.

Spain is willig to modify her peace suggestion to 500 gold to Spain and Austria each (totaling 1000 gold) to be payed by Denmark before 1588.
Other than that the other conditions stand.

[conmcb25]

Now we get to test how full of crap or not the Danish King is.

First of all I have not declared war on anyone.

Second of all I have declared several times that Im trying to build up my trade with my fellow nations in Europe.

Third of all I have a lone Caravel with a trade unit heading to Lubeck, it is near the location where the French ships were so wrongly sunk.

(And no Im not going to load and unload, England Strongly supports freedom of the seas and we are NOT at war.)

Lets see what the mad Danes do about a lone trade mission.

This would be acceptable, with the acknowledgement of French war guilt and no French reparations, as aforementioned, as our war with them was completely justified.
