If it's a one time payment, then done.

Alright, plus a share of conquers, which we'll figure out. So access granted to your men, as long as when they're traveling through byzantine land we're informed in advance, and allowed to take measure to make sure they don't suddenly attack us.

Doom and icu could you please use the trade route that does not take you through bulgarian land?

I'll just sail from Sardina to Byzantine, the trip isn't even that trechorous and I wouldn't even expect any losses, we'll land in Byzantine ports and march into Asia after resting.

Well given that my starting land is split by your land, I don't have much of a choice.

its not like you mind grim. trade route = cash for your country. damn, all the back room talk of books is making me guilty...

Rocco you can use Sardina as well if you please if Grim wont allow you through. Granted you bring your own ships and stuff.

Nope. He ain't allowed through the Gibraltar straits.

Anywho, Spain sends off 20 cogs to go build a colony and port in South Africa. Uses the remainder of my budget.

Ok, here's my deal for conquering lands and what you pay me. Let's say you get a place worth 2 million ieg, I get the first decade or whatevers budget. After that, it's yours. Unless we decide to make another deal.

So with 4 million bonus moneys, I buy a buncha pikemen and elite armored swordsmen. So army is something like... 18k cataphracts, 5500 Elite pikemen, and 2000 elite armored sworsmen (for 1k each)

Earth as a rule I am rather paranoid of people passing through my land with armies. Tell you what however; if you allow me to put an armed guard around your forces I would consider letting you bring up to 10,000 forces through at a time (I have a rule of outnumbering the enemy 4+ to one)

 

Uhhhh He can do this..... Cause I don't see your name on that ocean cause frankly he is passing through French sea, as you can see he goes no where near your islands.

 

 

Wait... I just realised me and Rocco made up with Subutai, I'm sure we could get a nice deal if we just ask him.

err? where did you get that idea? im only interested in maintaining the kievan border, and taking over england before they get any ideas..

'Cause I'm bored (and too lazy to P.M retech) 1.4 million gold is used to set up a border patrol using a new bulgarian unit!@!@!: The queen's guard (well and with messengers to send word to the main force).

oh, you want me to set up a border with your country?

Mediterranean is a Spanish lake.

 

wtf why not?

idk

i have that deal with ICU, and despite me getting no response whatsoever on my troop count.. im still waiting on ICU. i need to work out what troop strength ima need for it.

With your massive navy made of ships that can't sail beyond coastlines and hold 500 men max?

 

i'm shaking

 

worst comes to worst I pay off dungeonal and go that way.

As opposed to your non-existent navy made up of no ships that can hold 0 men max?

 

I'd say I have a clear advantage there.

 

btw, I'm not entirely sure where you got the idea that my ships can't sail beyond coastlines. They're galleys...they can't sail into oceans, but the Mediterranean isn't an ocean.

Have got an actual idea for you Earth.

 

How about I get friendly with England, tell them you're attacking, so they put a lot of their defense on your border. You sail around Ireland and attack from the west. While I double cross them and attack them as well. Most of their defense will be on your border, so make sure you have a defense set up as they will probably attack back. We then finish off the remaining force and split it 75 to you 25 to me.

oh aye.. that would work, if i ahdnt raided them in the past. they may remember that, and may set up defenses aall alojng the borders. thin, but prepared ones. go ahead and try it, but try and convice them ill only go for a land assault, if they disbeleive.

Yeah but if I say you're raiding in large numbers then they'll stick more troops there, but this plan will probably take a few years and me to get friendly with them. England isn't stupid.

He doesn't even own the whole of it, he owns the area around his islands, and the route I specified doesn't go near them.

well, i have an idea... i start raiding, and if i start winning you have troops on stand-by to help the english men out. sure, i lsoe mostly, but you get on more friendly terms with england.

Meh, if you want to invade off the bat just make sure you carry a nice large invasion force. I'd say 10,000 would suffice.

oooh. im going to lvoe giving those stuck up englishmen a good wake up call. jsut because they have such a niccceeee king, doesnt mean he can save them...

He doesn't even own the whole of it, he owns the area around his islands, and the route I specified doesn't go near them.

It's not exactly that far away. Maybe a day's sailing, which is a lot less time than it'd take you guys to load all your food or whatever.
