The Third Languish Sunday EU3 MP Game Thread

Your position on the economic chart is also noted. I welcome you to spread civilization to the Poles, heck I will even help you, but your days of intra-HRE blobbing must come to an end.

My economic position is not so much high as the rest of you are low.  That said, I would be happy to join a crusade against the Poles and gank their Baltic provinces while you grab, well, whatever it is you like.

Poor Tamas, he likes to play games but always appears to be bad at them.

In hindsight, I probably should've given up on Savoy earlier, that would've avoided that whole comedy.  I guess I just got overconfident on being able to hold off the French after destroying their two big stacks.  My allies certainly paid for my misjudgment.

See, Sol? Someone actually believes this shit.

The best kind of war to lose is where others pay for your mistakes.

Considering that there's basically nobody who can stand up to France now, by some measures given on this forum it's already effectively "won" the game.

   One session and the hyperbole is already reaching new lows.

[Kleves]

Shouldn't that be new highs?

So, who's going to stop him, you?

The way you're going, the Ottoman Empire might be part of you this game.

[Alcibiades]

Oh please, by setting up that buffer I've alienated every one of my neighbors, unfortunately.  Had I been powergaming I would have completely reduced Spain instead of getting the one province that completes Southern France.  In addition, I would have ripped most of the Netherlands off of Austria when the Ottomans invaded instead of settling for his two isolated provinces that he couldn't even get to.  That would have pushed me way above everyone else. 

Where I am now is not very far above the rest.  Austria is barely below my income and probably has just as much manpower.  Let alone the coalitions you guys will set up to bring down this perceived monster you are putting into peoples heads. 


P.S. Be aware of the Russian bear, you see that country already?   

[Solmyr]

Seriously, you're afraid of Austria?

[DGuller]

I still don't get the "buffer" logic.  I can understand you wanting to get your paws on Savoy, after all even the real French got a part of it eventually.  But why do you need a buffer so badly?  Are you afraid of a massed invasion?  Is my massed invasion going to stall somehow because I would have to traverse one extra layer of provinces on my way?

Lebensraum dammit.  And vacation spots.
