Agreed, I could not see how France could do this. Possibly Prussia could DOW the Poles, but that would be a green light to a French invasion of their homelands.

The fact you can take out a minor with such a large landmass by taking its Capital makes this approach very easy. I am a little surprised the very capable Polish Armies didn't seem to take any steps to stop either the Austrians or the Russians.

Cause that cannot possibly only be aimed at me now can it?

When a strategic AI capable of running on a modestly priced desktop PC is capable of defeating a human opponent well... have you ever seen Terminator?

Hope Russia and Preussia really thinks that offer through.
And that Turkey and Sweden do the same, who will Russia tangle with if they accept this offer?

The Ottomans have peaceful agreements with both Russia and Austria. If they look at their history they will be reminded that bitter wars just ended in 1769. There should be a chance to heal .

Sometimes secret agreements are forgotten too easily.

Now, don't go getting all paranoid You only have one little war with France which could be settled. Besides, you have already implicated most of Europe in your crim..eh explorations.

Seems that is the concensus after two games, yes

One Russian who was both a diplomat and a general is just plugged in as a general. If you had a harem, you would not worry about such trivial things.

BTW, did you get turn 8 from IW?

I think the target has become somewhat larger, but it is currently overshadowed by some rather large fangs.

Yep, this is a very good game-especially when you have such devious Royals at the controls.

Looks like the mighty Austrian Empire is having some morale problems-interesting. It appears to be getting worse rather than better.

Following current diplomatic developments it appears our alternate universe is entirely different. Maybe they'll be singing la marseillaise in Picadilly square soon.

I'm in the same boat. I have been reading some interesting stuff-especially about the O.E. This Sultan, Selim 3rd, was an interesting and competent guy. He met a rather untimely end in his own palace prison. Strangled on the orders of some flake, want to be, Sultan. Interesting stuff. I had no idea that the O.E. was so cosmopolitan. Also, I was not aware that the Janissaries had turned into something like the Praetorian Guard-complete with intrigue.

In this game world, this Sultan will whip those Janissaries into top form to equal the days yore in glory.
