Is there any reasonable way to communicate without using Steam?
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

No.

And read my post again :P 200d each is an attricously high price. Taking them by force is cheaper, frankly.

You guys could all get on ventrilo or skype or teamspeak and talk at one another, which would be better than steam.

Can you make me give them up, though? You can take them, sure, but you can't really force me to make peace. And fighting me will leave to open to attacks from the Burgundy and Spain. What's more, even if the war takes only 2 years, it will still cost you more than 400d, with recruitment, maintenance, etc.

If you would give up your claim on Calais, however, (is this possible without a war?), then I would be willing to further lower the price.

Yeah, except for private diplomacy.

Steam is harmless, Alci.

Yes, we can spiral each other into insane war exhaustion, that is exactly what I am trying to avoid, but I am not paying you huge sums to give you free reign in your sphere of inluence. No way.

Clearly, only Spanish intervention can hope to break this deadlock.

Gentlemen, begin your bidding.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

England already has a torn in your side by his Portugal alliance. While I am -assuming calm relations with England- the most suited to help you quickly subdue Aragon.

I'll cut it to 200d, total, if you give up your claim to Calais.

By the way, if you guys end up having port/connection issues, I strongly urge you all to download the Hamachi program and use that.  It's a LAN-spoofing program that's incredibly easy to use and has always solved my connection issues for MP.
