Languish Universalis - Game thread

[Kleves]

Not even the frogs are foolish enough to ally with the Emperor while he unites the HRE. No, their interests are too disparate. As the Scots used to say, before I had them all killed, "There can only be one, and where's my haggis?"

[Habbaku]

Though it pains us, Spain will have to decline the offer of alliance with the English for the time being.  Though we've no ill-will towards the English crown, nor do we wish to align ourselves in such a way as to potentially alienate the Emperor (who has shown nothing but good faith) and the French themselves.

One should clearly note that the English colonization efforts have started and it will not be long before they reach the indian states at which point, easily getting CBs, they will dramatically increase their realm, surpassing everything the landlocked European powers can dream of.
Thus it is clear that English crown would like nothing better than to see trouble raising its head on the mainland.

[Slargos]

I'd also like to note the Turks large army and good economy for the next time he cries his crocodile tears.

I can barely manage one front in a three front war against Austria.

As for my income, given the fact that I am orthodox teched, and that my trade efficiency is that of a one breasted whore, your fables about ottoman monetary power are at best exaggerated.

Worthy of note: any western power that chooses to expand in India may find that it is quite expensive to compete with the sublime porte on the matter.

Good economy, aye, but not so much a large army.  Slargos really needs to expand along into the Levant to get the manpower he needs to contend with Austria.  As it stands right now, if the Turks go one-on-one with the Emperor, they will get their shit packed in quite nicely.

Given the leadership gap, I think you exaggerate a bit, but a war against Austria one on one would indeed be a difficult prospect. 

Of course, the cordial relations between the empires of the Germans and the Turks preclude any such nonsense.

I don't see Austria being able to go to India any time soon. 17th century at the EARLIEST.

As for the rest of you fuckers, payment will be in blood, not coin so my lack of financial strength will not apply.

Milan needs to spread it's wings in the Italian demand of coffee!*


Even if coffee wasn't brought to Italy till 16th century!

I enjoy this thread. You guys need to play twice a week.

Sadly the divergent schedules of everybody means it's impossible for us to play more than once a week.

Austria shall continue to maintain its policy of honorable and dignified benevolence. By this we mean that Austria does not seek domination at the expense of others' interests, in India or anywhere else, but the Emperor shall not trade in his dignity by caving in on his completely lawful and sacred role as the leader of all Germany. It should be obvious that anyone who has no plans to expand in Germany has nothing to fear from Austria.

Milan is happy to announce we have no intentions on Germanic lands, and we have only intentions of bringing other Lombardic cultured provinces under our sphere.

So what time are we starting at ?

[Alcibiades]

So this week is habs able to go an hour later?  And yeah, are we starting a half hour early again... or attempting to while Tamas yells at us to wait for Katmai who is never going to show up and showers us with insults?
