Napland

Austria asked for MPP but i refused, signed ROP with them and Spain to allow quicker passage for my boys. Sent ROP offers to both of you, and thanks for the tech Vovan

I am hoping for a few turns of peace now to get some city improvements built, then prepare a force for the next war.

Try to retain your techs as you will only strengthen your opponents by trading, although it does make a harder battle when up against tougher units

Jan 1803 and Napolean is dead, I issued orders to Wellington to have hung by the neck until dead

[Paddy]

Well Mighty Lord Chrisius,
One Certainly hopes it was napoleon, not Wellington who got hung from the neck.

I am in agreeance with you to a time of peace. We really must regroup and build as much as we can.

Lord Vovan,
Your gift of technologies has great advanced my humble people, you have our thanks.

Jan 1803 to Vovan, Czar of the Rodina

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Once more to the pricipality of Prussia, we trust you and the family are well King paddy. Tis a time of peace throughout the realm though worrying numbers of those darkskinned devils from the south are scurrying around our lands!!

[Paddy]

Yes indeed a time of Peace

and yes my Colonels report that there are many of the Ottomens lads encamped throught the Realm...

something we should be very vigliant about.

To good news, my people have built a fine Naval Academy, and we look forward to many fine lads heading to the open seas

March 1803 to the Grand Czar Vovan

[Paddy]

ahhh the game may continue yet

Nurse Michelle, scalpel please....

[vovan]

Well now, I finally found my CD, so I could actually play the turn, and I sent it on to Chrisius. However, you say over there Paddy that March was sent on to me. That I don't have. I have January, and I have that played and sent on, but it seems that you already played through that one.

[Paddy]

March 1803 resent

[vovan]

And on to Chrisius goes March 1803.

[Paddy]

May 1803 to Vovan

May 1803 to Chrisius.

Just wondering, what's our executive plan now that France is gone?

In terms of research, I am getting Sanitation the next turn, so I will send it out to you then.

Now, as far as military action is concerned, who is our next target? It seems we are on a roll, and have amassed quite a power, so why stop now? We must crush our opponents.

As well, a lot of my borderline cities with Austria and Mr. Whittleboy, are defenseless, so if we plan on picking on one of them next, then I'd need say five-six turns or so to regroup my defenses. On the other hand, if we plan on attacking Spain, then I am all ready for it, as the majority of my offensive and quite a bit of defensive troops are located in Paris and other nearby posessions.

On a related note, I don't like my cities scattered around the way they are. So I propose a mutual trade that would consolidate all of our territories, and at the same time keep all of our easy accesses to enemy terrotories. So, here's the proposed plan:

Limogenes (4): Vovan -> Chris
Belfort (5): Vovan -> Paddy
Lyons (3), Orleans (8): Paddy -> Vovan

Now, this would make all of our borders nice and solid, while also giving each of us direct access to both Austria and Spain. Of course, I realize that in this trade Paddy looses a whole city, which doesn't seem fair, and I tried to work out a solution, and the only way I came up with is:

Brussels (9): Chris -> Paddy

But that now doesn't seem fair to Chris as he looses a more valuable city to Paddy than he gains from me.

Lord Vovan,

our alliance is strong and new paths have been forged in the way Europe will face the coming years.

I am saddened to hear that your scientists have been working on Sanitation

My own scientists have been hard at work on this technology for some time as well.

It had been hoped that through cooperation of our nations, that we could gamin quite an advantage on the various other governments that stand against us

ahh either way it is all good

well there are only a few techs left, then we will all have quite a war chest gathering around us

as to your trades of cities - well my people hope that you will be generous and reasonable with the people that we seed to your nation

as to which nation we go against next, I believe that we then need to gather our forces before playing our hands to the ai
better we are the ones who unleash the dogs of war - than allowing them the upper hand

also it would be good to bring the other ai nations in against them as well

[ChrisiusMaximus]

To my dearest allies both Lords Vovan and Paddy, whilst we are in agreement that plans must be made etc etc we do not wish to exchange cities at this time.

Tech wise we should have the advance in artillery next season which we imediately send to you both

We too would prefer a short period of regrouping rebuilding etc before seeking a new war front, however we propose a campaign against the Austrians next, a foe that all nations have good access to, and we plan to bring along the Spanish to the campaign as a british ally.

We have certain reasons to maintain the Spanish as close friends of the British people not least the understrength garrisons in Portugal at this time

[Paddy]

indeed is that right you old soul

sorry to gear the city trade is not going to happen

would have liked to add Brussels to the fold afterall

July 1803 to Vovan

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Did you get this Lord Vovan
