Henrik

Your up!

yaroslav · August 18, 2003, 16:59

I believed that it was my turn after seeing that the last post was from conmcb25

I want to proclaim a Reformed Monarchy now!

Rumours of a Danish invasion was found to be greatly exagurated.

Berber Smuggler dhows sunk off the coast of Rome.

Darius871 · August 19, 2003, 15:45

How do you know there aren't 500 units in that stack?

conmcb25 · August 19, 2003, 15:52

Because you can't possibly have 500 units.

Last time I checked was 1526 and you had 53 units.

conmcb25 · August 19, 2003, 16:24

English Caravel outside of Brest is on its way to Spain with Trade goods.

Danish Troop count for 1527 = 52 units.

(Looks like the number is going down to me!

)

Edit: Poly is way to slow, I keep timing out, Ill have to try and post the file later.

conmcb25 · August 19, 2003, 16:48

Edit: Finally I got the file posted below.

$hit for Brains: Sure there is if you only have 52 units then you are grossly exaggerating.

Darius871 · August 20, 2003, 00:11

I never said before HIS post that I had '500 units'. I used hyperbole in my later post to show that he has no idea what is in a stack other than what is on top, that's all.

Nice try but either way with only 52 units you are over exaggerating. At least IMHO.

Darius871 · August 20, 2003, 02:29

Since nitpicking seems to be in fashion: I have flags over all of my 19 cities, so technically I could have 33 outside Groningen. The only point was that he couldn't know.

EDIT:

After reviewing the file, it seems I forgot to drop my 'numerous' units off at Groningen.

Anyway this could be a blessing in disguise; now the victim can be Antwerp.

Henrik · August 20, 2003, 07:19

The longer you wait the more ready I'll be

Dr. Nick · August 20, 2003, 09:35

Can you feel the luuuuuurve in this thread?

yaroslav · August 21, 2003, 16:18

P&P

I tried to post yesterday (today I've been damm bussy!) but the server failed just when I wanted to post

BTW, I forgot to launch the revolution

, so I must now wait until 1530 to be a Prostentant Kingdom. I'll obey the Pope 3 turns more

Darius871 · August 21, 2003, 22:19

WAR!!!(again)

The ENTIRE French northern fleet has been destroyed!

France claimed its huge armada bearing down on Denmark carried freight units, but the King has come to the conclusion that France hasn't the productive power to fill three transports with freight and send them past the Netherlands in a mere 8 years (duh). Therefore, Danish galleys launched a pre-emptive strike against the French armada, destroying every caravel and their galley escorts. Kristian's fears were justified as hundreds of French soldiers were observed drowning in the North Sea as their transports were sunk:

Given this compelling evidence, all of Europe knows that we are waging a defensive war against France.

In the war with Spain, a regiment of pikemen was evacuated by sea for further pillaging operations, and our invasion force has landed outside Ostende.

conmcb25 · August 23, 2003, 23:23

Obviously the Danes want to be at war with all of Europe.

Maybe the French were going to launch a campaign against the independants to the east?

I suppose you will sink any of my shipping near Netherlands and to the east as well? Fine, I just wont send any trade units your way.

(Sorry Sweden you dont get any either, your Scandanavian cousins have made the Baltic and North Atlantic a hazardous place to be no matter what the business maybe!)

FiGu · August 24, 2003, 03:00

WHA?? ... i was going to send that fleet against the baltics you cowardish bastard...

FiGu · August 24, 2003, 03:01

btw. great job destroying 5% of my whole fleet. You SHALL SUFFER!

*Orders 10 Galleys and Transports to move to suprise those Cowardish Danes*

Henrik · August 24, 2003, 05:15

It would seem that Denmark is doomed...

We want war with no one other than the independent states; France CLEARLY brought this upon herself. We did what any responsible nation would do in this situation, with a massive invasion force heading toward our homeland. If it wasn't heading for our homeland, France could have been kind enough to tell us what their plans were instead of LIE about the contents of their fleet.

Not that this would be a loss, but your goods are more than welcome as long as you don't provoke us like the treacherous... no... downright idiotic French did. If you send a SINGLE caravel into the North Sea, drop its cargo off at Esbjerg for 'inspection', and then reload them back onto the ship, they are free to go wherever they want.

Well then perhaps you shouldn't have LIED to my face, saying they were just harmless trade units, and agreeing to the inspection process. If you had simply said "yes they are military units, headed for the Baltic States", I would have left you alone (although Sweden probably wouldn't have been too wild about your plans).

YOU brought this upon yourself, and the fact that you had to lie to me before makes me all the more certain your target was indeed Denmark. Either you were going to attack Denmark, or you screwed up in not telling me me your real intentions. Either way, losing the fleet was your fault.

Thanks man for making my day. You think I've never played this in SP?

What would you have done in my situation? There's a whole armada of Catholic dogs heading for my country, and the only explanation I get is a lie, as France could not possibly have built and shipped 6 freight units so quickly. One choice: sink the fleet. Another choice: tell him I know he lied, he tells me they're just headed for the Baltic States, he goes past Jutland, and takes Copenhagen. Great.

Dr. Nick · August 25, 2003, 11:06

The Glorious Armies of Allah have captured the city of Szeged and put its infidel government to the sword!

Allah be praised!

jim panse · August 27, 2003, 19:30

Nothing special to report but that Hungary is a heirdome of the Habsburg Dynasty and We, Emperor Karl, ask the Ottomans to withdraw from our soil immediately.

Dr. Nick · August 27, 2003, 21:28

Hungary must be cleansed of the perverted ideas of the Pope. It is our duty to Allah!

First, take it easy.. for the second, what do you think i've built for the last 8 turns?

FiGu · August 28, 2003, 09:02

France is going to send a fleet of 500 ships against Denmark(No Units Numbers will be given out)

The Danish King will suffer a slow death after the French-Spanish Occupation of Copenhagen, along with its people, which will be starved to death and replaced by Dutch,French and Spanish.

The French King asks Sweden and England to join the crusade against the Pro-Facist Denmark!

BTW Darius, i Lie always to my enemies...

Which means, you will suffer a even worse fate

So in other words you were going to attack me, and you just gave me valid pretext in the eyes of all Europe. Thanks!

Darius the last time I checked this was pre-reformation. You are a catholic dog as well.

Thats what is disturbing the other nations of Europe so much, is your willingness to actively ally and support the heathen infidels.

This is probably going to be your last chance.

Repent, and publically apologize to the Holy Father.

Let the Holy Father beat your knuckles with the Holy Sephulcre

Say 500 Hail Mary's and 500 Our Fathers. (While kneeling on broken glass of course.)

Pay war reparations to the Austrians, French and Spanish.

Actively join the war against the heathen infidels and give your own life fighting for the Holy Father in the crusade to rid Europe and hopefully the world of the heathen infidels.

We dont ask much and then you can once again join the ranks of the true faith.

For the record, I am officially nuetral. Thats why Im attempting to broker a just peace amongst the Faithfull. However if this war continues I will probably have to join the ranks of the true believers because it is my god given duty.

I believe the Swedes will agree with me on most if not all of these points. (My fellow nuetrals in this tragic war.)

French Demands 700 gold for the ships that got destroyed!
