The Second Coalition - 22 June 1799

[Shogun Gunner]

Wow, I suggested that we be creative in planning our future game, in an earlier post, and everyone did just that!

I like the idea of three base seafaring civs broken into eight civs

Byzantine base: Byzantine Empire and Roman Empire
English base: Brits, Scottish, Irish...
Scandy base: Danish, Norwegien, Swedish

Thanks for save, Sultan of Swing...over to Mr. Paddy Redcoat

great idea Paddy

[ChrisiusMaximus]

though I chose byzantines earlier I would love to play a game of 8 viking clans. A sort of confederation of Vikings, who can act independantly of each other and be at war or at peace but always belonging to the federation.

It would be nice to have some AI to rape and pillage too but this 8 players only thing is a problem there.

Oh well it should be a fun game what ever we choose to do.

if we go all viking it would be good to disable all techs after invention say or no further tham middle ages not allowing cavalry and muskets, thus ensuring all combat be done the true viking way with axes and warhammers

[Paddy]

well if we were really bad we could:

have 8 even islands that are all the same.
all evenly spread .
as we should all know each other anyway, being the same people.
not start with embassies.
but a pic of the map emailed to each of us.
we would still need to search.
and are not sure which island who is on etc

Then we would have a game of players not so much the civs

[Paddy]

Please note that I have started a new thread to continue the discussion of a new game

I will transfer our chats over to there.

[Paddy]

Thanks for resending that Shogun

Onto the Iron Prince

[bongo]

Will be ready for first attack on stockholm next turn. I have 5 artillery pieces there by now, they should be able to make a dent in the defence Fired two shots for practice and the effect were good, two swedish troops wounded.

Unfortunately is the turn order such that the russian cossacks cannot take advantage of my heavy guns as the swedish troops will have time to heal in between.

January 1803 sent to Wittlich

[Shogun Gunner]

King ChrisiusMaximus: Thank you for Medicine!

I have sent Military Logistics to everyone. Not much science left to research!

March 1803 Save to King Paddy.

[Paddy]

Thank you Lord Gunner for this tech.


Onto the Iron Prince again

[bongo]

Stockholm has fallen!! Only light casualties on my side and an outdated artillery piece was captured. It was promptly upgraded so it can be turned against Gustav next turn

Thank you very much Vice Zsar Iron Jackson for softening up the target for me

Still some swedish troops left in the open, they will be dealt with next turn when my artillery are ready for some more action

King Paddy, I would like you to sign a RoP so I could move my troops faster towards Gustavs last city.

Sultan Wittlich, hope this cash is enough for a trade deal on silks

For me, too.

March 1803 sent to the Sultan

[Wittlich]

Mar 1803 Turn sent to Shogun. When will Gustav be put out of his misery?

[bongo]

I can land some 10-12 units outside his last city next turn, my bigger stack needs at least 2 turns to move down from the north.
