1701
The English have developed a new type of commercial venture: the Joint Stock Company. This will enable our Merchants to out-manouevre and out-compete their Continental rivals, we hope.
Further economic developments are expected with every new year, as the English State practices the art of empire-building with merchants and capital, rather than soldiers.
However, King William is getting old, and it is unlikely that he will produce an heir now. This means the throne will pass to his sister-in-law, the elderly spinster, Anne. On her death, there is no clear way forward for a Protestant monarchy, and the Jacobites can be expected to press the claim of James II's son. This can only mean more conflict, and it is unlikely that the Catholic Powers of France and Spain will stand idly by....

Lord Charles Monk writes…
The Dutch Colonists of Willemstad have acquired a taste for our Midlands manufactures it seems – and are willing to pay for them in the finest gold and silver.
Our ambassador at Versailles has made a strong protest against the French blocking of the St Lawrence seaway. He has conveyed the message that our ships have every right to sail through, as only the north bank is French territory. We trust our convoy will be allowed safe passage…
The Dutch may be prepared to let the French block the Straights of Dover to their ships, but we will not tolerate this sort of behaviour. They may even wish to form a unified front with us to promote free trade in all the world’s oceans.
Our war against the Iroquois has finally been concluded.
King Billy has died unexpectedly on falling from his horse. His stepsister Anne has assumed the throne, but Parliament will have to look further afield for a candidate to succeed her, I’m thinking.
Henrik - 30% luxury rate, eh? That's a lot....

Only the best is good enough for the french citizens
(besides, with a lower rate I would make less money (I belive my income is larger than your ) and science)
Also we wish to point out that the River you are refering to is controlled by the French army and navy, and allways has been!
State what you are going to do with those filthy english buccaneers and I might let you trough, however, unless you can prove the need of them there, the blockade remains.

Ha! Well, it depends rather if you want to fight a war as the evil blocker of free trade and movement, or as the aggrieved defender of a sneaky attack by the perfidious English!
Actually, I was moving the troops there as a potential counter-attack force if I was attacked by you. However, on reflection, I think perhaps they would be more effective elsewhere anyway, so I no longer request passage for them. However, the Galleon (empty) that accompanies them is needed for trade transport on Lake Ontario. So please let that through and I will move the privateer back.
On behalf of the Dutch, I would think that the Man o' War off Dover is a great hinderance to them. It doesn't matter for me, because I have Dover (which is why I built it), but France is acting in a provocative manner, which may lead to a Dutch-English axis against it, and a valid cause for a war to defend the free use of international waters.
Just a warning...
It is turning out to be rather fun, Waku!I love this pbem

I'm overtaking rapidly though. The revolutionary new stocks and shares market that London builds next turn should see to that!I belive my income is larger than your
Not while I control the south bank it isn't! Which French Settlements are on the south bank?Also we wish to point out that the River you are refering to is controlled by the French army and navy, and allways has been!

John, you never sent it!
He's right, Henrik.On behalf of the Dutch, I would think that the Man o' War off Dover is a great hinderance to them. It doesn't matter for me, because I have Dover (which is why I built it), but France is acting in a provocative manner, which may lead to a Dutch-English axis against it, and a valid cause for a war to defend the free use of international waters.
because of your damned warship, I have had to route my vessals around scottland, adding 4 turns to their trips to the new world.
You don't own that piece of sea, and all your doing is hurting Holland, a country that has done you no harm, and has no claims in your sphere of influence.
If you want to fight Britain, do so, but please refrain from hindering Dutch trade!I believe Saddam because his position is backed up by logic and reason...David Floyd
