I leave for one day...

 

EDIT: As an explanation to doom why I am trying to get the French government to spend the royal chest: I've read up on the napoleonic wars.

The Netherlands express concern to the French monarchy about these recent events and urge them to take action against the revolutionaries.

My Revolutionaries express concern to theNetherlands peasantry about these recent events and urge them to take action against the monarchy.

The ottomans are duely distressed.

Oops, I was looking at the Second Bulgarian empire thing in your sig when I wrote that.

 

How do you really expect me to be a big threat?. Everyone nowadays know how Napoleon won his wars, and you can read all his tactics with a click of the mouse. It was something totally new, or atleast something not used en masse, in reality, and that's why it was dangerous. Kinda like how in YOH the black plague was met by society's of hand washing ship burners who knew what to do magically.

Doom the thing is that the netherlands were very focused on trade (and with a lesser nobility there was not as much chance as a revolution) In any rate I have been planning to transfer into a republic for awhile (Just waiting on the results of my admin training program currently [and then I need to set up a police force])

 

EDIT: Doom 60 million ducats worth of troops could still curbstomp just about anyone in the game.

But not everyone in the game. Considering everyone already wants to team up on me, I'm more worried than you all.

Since Napoleon got defeated that is not suprising....

However Hegemony has a habit of suddenly having 3 people side with Napoleon and tipping the balance for the lulz.

 

 

Also Dusty controls the armies so its not like we can say 'My forces use Napoleonic tactics'...So I expect to lose a war against France at first.

 

 

 

Anywho, Prussia prepares ships to sail to France.

Erm yeah about that arch... to be blunt look at the world map (LOOK AT IT) Now does it look like I can afford to loose to napoleon at first? Hence my efforts to not give him a [bleep]ing huge treasury.

Its a little bit unbalanced that one person has 60,000,000 ducats, I mean it doesn't matter if its historical its the biggest bonus anyone could ever have.

 

thats 60,000 line infantry!!

No, Doom supposedly has normal money and a royal budget aswell.

Russia is rather surprised at the French revolutionaries' new doctrine, advocating the overthrow of the monarchy. It replies that monarchy is a necessary part of the government. The monarchy is a force for the greater good when used to further the interests of its citizens. Revolution should be focused on the welfare of the peasants, not necessarily a change in the upper classes.

 

Despite this, Russia pledges to remain neutral, as supporting the monarchy and nobility against the peasantry and supporting the peasantry in overthrowing the monarchy are both against Imperial Russian doctrine.

Besides, if Napolean steamrolls through Europe, not really my problem. :rolleyes:

Prussia disagrees.

The revolutionaries should work within the system to strengthen the state, so that the state can strengthen society.

If all efforts are focused on strengthening society(In Russian there are only Serfs, so...), then the state crumbles...and then no one can look after society, so that crumbles too.

 

 

Anyway, with the British Sailors come tales of Guy Fawkes Night(By some strange coincidence :shades: ). With massive support by the peasents, Prussia adopts the 5th of November as Effigy Night, where an effigy of the Pope is tradtionally burned.

Catherine the Great offers Crimea the chance to join the great Russian Empire. Aside from officially joining the empire, it would remain autonomous in the sense that Russia would not collect taxes from the Crimea and nobles in the Crimea will retain their powers, as long as they behave in a fair way to their peasants. (Basically, eliminate excess cruelty)

 

If they accept, they will gain a notable bonus over being a Russian vassal. Instead of providing a standing army for use in Russian campaigns, they would only be required to turn over a single province to Russian governance, the bottom province in the middle cluster of three. Any profits from that province will be given to the Crimea, but some of the taxes will be used to maintain a Russian presence.

 

All of this is due to Catherine's latest plan: the construction of a great port at Sevastopol. It will be home to Russia's Black sea fleet, as well as a beacon of commerce in the area.

 

tl;dr

 

Crimea doesn't have to provide standing army that goes invading places around the world, in exchange for a great port in Sevastopol, run by Russians.

Spain condemns the burning of the pope by the people of Prussia. While we may have different interpretations of Gods will, we all believe in the same God, and burning a fellow christian is surely a sin.

King Frederick offers to meet with the Pope to discuss reperations for the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, hopefully putting down some of the enemity between the Protestants and the Catholics.

If he refuses then the practice of burning the Pope on the 5th of November continues unabated.

 

As a show of good faith, the King disperses 50,00 ducates buying French Revolutionary 'guys' and giving them to local peasents to do with as they wish, instead of the Pope.

Notes are taken who does what and a summery is given to the King (If you could do that Dusty).

 

 

Elsewhere a new tradition of burning Russian Tsar 'guys' has taken off in responce to the war brewing in the Crimea....though these ones have barrels of gunpowder under them, and are thus probably a result of Ex-Russian Nobles spending their money.

There's a war in Crimea?

 

*Wonders why the Empress of an empire right next to the Crimea wasn't informed*

I don't know, the nobles are doing it...so its probably an excuse or propaganda...or flavour that I can't be blamed for :thumbsup:

Sorry to people going to invade me, but I am going to be away for a holiday, I was thinking that the war would have been fought a little by now, but as I had to go away yesterday it was unable to :/. Sorry, uhhh can Britain become frozen? So all plans Britain has going on (except research) and all plans against Britain just cease? And as I'll be away, I wont have to save my budget, so 5 million to all previous research fields, and the next 4 million will be saved. I'll only be gone 5-6 days, so one reset.

Well, if Dusty is allowing you to proxy the nobles or you're making up the rumors yourself, then I can't expect anything to come of it.

nope

 

i sent my attack yesterday

 

you're here yesterday and today

 

we will cease hostilities after this but this attack goes through

That's a little unfair... I have barely anytime to figure a defense plan... But it's the mods decision, and I guess I'll have to write one up just incase :/

 

Also Dungeonal proxied his country for a while, and he's the one attacking me, I probably would have attacked him if he was there the whole time.

Sigh...Retech, its called flavour...its called Roleplay....its called playing a game.

If everything we do is gonna be controlled by Dusty then we might as well not play...As for nothing coming of it...shallow game is shallow.

Certainly, but I'm trying to sort out your evil plans from the flavor. It's hard to drink your smoothies when you know that once in a while, it'll be poisoned.

>takes 2 days to say "i put army X here"

 

REASON ENOUGH TO BE SAFE EH!

 

and of course you would've attacked me if i was here earlier, i would've attacked you
