If everyone posts what they are researching so I can choose something useful on my next turn

Thanks for the save Shogun Gunner.

The sacred scroll for September 1799 onto Czar Pinko.

Ones boffins are Researching: Nationalism

[dialectic2003]

I'm still in the throes of non-net enabled , but am able to get the turns sorted over at Paddy's.

I'm researching Medicine, but it'll take my incredibly inebriated technicians at least 31 months before I see any result. I think it may be time to restrict their access to vodka, if that's possible.

[bongo]

I'm researching nationalism, at 6 turns...I better find something else then.

[Paddy]

yes, that would b fine Koing Bongo.

One feels that One's boffins will have this Nationalism issue sorted in 3 to 4 turns...

[dialectic2003]

Turn sent to you Konig Bongo

I have withdrawn the vodka ration from my intrepid scientists. For some reason they aren't able to research anymore

[bongo]

I've stopped wotking on nationalismus.

No sign of the french yet...

[bongo]

Almost forgot to mention that the save was sent to Rey Crisius.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Thanks Bongo, played and sent to Wittlich.

To my esteemed Allies! I have to report to you all that we have made first contact with the French. Our southern fleet whilst patrolling the waters around and near the Balearics and Corsica, spotted a French fleet of 2 Frigates.

My brave sailors did not hesitate and sent one of the French vessels to the bottom of the sea. Unfortunately The Santa Maria was just out of range to aid her sister ship in the attack but we are in pursuit and hope to engage again within the coming months.

If you have Naval assets in the region we would be most appreciative of any assistance you may be able to render.

Finally on land we have yet to see any French troop movements. We are sending all spare forces to secure the Pyrenees mountain passes. As soon as our miliatary training facilities can turn out enough of our young men, transformed into efficient fighting units we will send an expeditionary force accross the ranges and into France.

We estimate the build up to last for approx 2 years, our heartfelt thanks to King Paddy, the troops you have stationed in and around Spanish territories are a welcome sight. Please do not let your boys feel unwelcome in our hospitality, our home is their home, but we ask that your men remain respectful especially to all the Senoritas.

Adios for now,

Chris

Sep, 1799AD Turn sent to Shogun

With the Spanish sighting of French Frigates, I have directed my scholars to begin researching a thing called "Seapower."

[Shogun Gunner]

Nov 1799 to Paddy.

I must sadly report a loss in my first battle with Napoleon.

I was attempting to fortify a mountain range northwest of Venice when French cavalry crashed through my defenses, wiping out my beloved troops, taking cannon and workers as booty.

Needless to say, I was in my own lands when the French crossed the border, attacked our position and defiled the pure Austrian soil.

Last seen, the French took their booty and retreated back to France.

King Paddy, I sent one Hussar to support the Milan area. I witnessed a horrible clash on the west side of the city. Your British troops bravely held off the French at Milan.

[Paddy]

Nov 1799

Thank You Shogun Gunner.

My commanders in Milan have reported the actions of your Hussars.

Napoleon is a scoundral, yet we knew that.

He is trying hard to invade my beautiful isles.

The war is to be on British soil as well.

Over to the Czar of the Russia's


Paddy and the Scots

[ChrisiusMaximus]

King Paddy as soon as the troops are mustered and in place we will open up a new front for the French dogs to maintain, namely the Pyrenees

Note about research.
While we are currently building our military as fast as humanly possible, we are still in no state to fight the french. Even defending our own territory would be difficult should they choose to attack. Thats why we need nationalism as fast possible. If memory serves me right, you are but 3 turns away from this powerful tech. If you could speed your research by running a deficit we would be more than happy to throw in a few bucks ourself to keep your coffers sufficently filled.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Ditto Ive reduced my tech rate to gat more gold for troop rushing. I would be glad to share this wealth with the great nation of England
