Hi Anthony, It seems your possible partner(France) has revealed your plans. I don't know if that matters. Russian seems to be acting detached from the world situation. It seems he does not want to get involved.

Sorry. I did'nt get back to you in LV. The work took us into Saturday night. It was great to see you,though. I'm so glad you came over. Don't worry about the BBQ. It will happen sometime in the future.

It was clear you were up to your ears in work-no problem.

I have still not communicated with Czar Poid about the likely coming events. He must know he is not going to have a good outcome in this contest by just building courts. It is helping a bit, but he needs to take some land from Prussia and Austria. If he just sits out the next war, he may never have another chance. Russia has a large army, but there is no way he can fight Austria and Prussia alone. Russian doctrines are falling behind also.

There are not too many different possibilities for the next conflict. Although the British/Swedish alliance being cancelled was a very interesting development. Sweden seems to be buddy buddy with Russia. That is a funny part of this game; a friend of a friend is your enemy.

Spain is rapidly gaining in Glory-it won't be long before it surpasses the Ottoman Empire.

Another 2 barracks developments were completed-the Empire is turning into an armed camp.

The Czar continues with his massive cultural expenditures. I wonder how well the people will cling to their culture when Prussian artillery is firing on the new opera house.

In the National Comparisons report this month it is apparent the Czar has overspent. Russia is running out of gold!

More projects were undertaken this month. However, the number of provinces without any improvements underway is increasing. There are now 10 provinces that are waiting for funding. The National Treasury will soon be under great strain from a military buildup-funds must be saved.

Looks like all that culture comes at a price. Also Austria is'nt too wealthy(gold). One war, and they will be finacially strapped


Talk of impending war rattles the whole world. Those of us waiting for action now grow nervous with the situation.

Austria has a very high production of luxury goods. I suspect that is due to a very low tax rate. I think it got by in the last war by financial aid from GB. If it cannot get that support the next time, it will have to drastically increase taxes-as I had to do. This will hurt its ability to recover moral and also slow its "glory" increase.

Running out of money has very bad consequences-something that must be avoided at any cost.

Economic Report

Taxes are still being kept to a minimum to maximize production. I will try to keep those until the end of the year.
The treasury has been falling ever so slightly until now. It will rapidly fall this winter. I ordered the assembly of an infantry division-the first of perhaps 8 new divisions.

The Unit Cost Increase is already back up to 9%-what a shame it climbs so fast and falls so slow.

There was an interesting development in that G.B. cancelled its treaty will Sweden. I am assuming Sweden did not cancel it.

Battle Reports

Another interesting development concerning Sweden; it lost some pirate squadrons this month.
There had been absolutely no coordination or discussion between G.B. and the O.E. regarding the Swedish pirate problem in many years. What occurred this month was perhaps an act of God.

Since the beginning I have wanted to catch some of those pirates. The cost each month is trivial, but in the long run they have cost the O.E. treasury much gold. Each and every month some cotton or wool would disappear. It was rather brazen of the Swedish King to send his pirates into the Mediterranean. The Turkish Fleet was quickly dispatched to drown the brigands. It took two months.

These Privateer squadrons are not cheap to replace. However, due in part to their success, Sweden has the resources to build new ones. I suspect they will stay out of the Mediterranean hence forth.

Production Report

Production is rolling along at near record levels even though there are still great demands on labor for provincial improvements. In particular, the timber situation had improved dramatically-the "lumber mill miracle". Production of timber had more than doubled. Without this huge increase the building of barracks would have ceased long ago.

Maras Province

Maras Province is a rare example of a "fast track" barracks development. Most other developments have been sidelined until the desired level of barracks is reached here. That point has nearly been attained-a level six barracks in just 3 more months. At that point Marras will follow a somewhat slower economical development.

Total national production ans stocks are also on view here as well as the production from this province.

Marras will be a prime source of new divisions in the future. It is surrounded by well populated areas.

Strength Table

The Ottoman Empire is gradually increasing its military power. By the end of the year there will be a noticeable improvement in the rate of increase.

Great Britain has made some rather impressive increases. I do not know if that is in military or naval power, but it is impressive.

I am watching Austria carefully. It seems likely that Austria will show a large increase in power soon.

As you can see, the Ottoman Empires time as 3rd ranking is rapidly drawing to a close.
One more little barracks is completed in Alexandria.

Not to belabor the issue, but these advances by Russia and Spain represent major investments. Month after month new cultural improvements are coming on line.

I can't help to wonder what the good Emperors are thinking. War is coming and soon. Are they going to fight it with ballet dancers? Perhaps saber swallowers'.

Tt is cheaper to build cultural centers rather than barracks in textiles, and perhaps labor too. Russia should not have any shortage of textiles though.

In time, the Ottoman Empire will launch the Amphitheater Initiative program- the world will hold its breath.

Production of luxury good and spice has been increased in an attempt to build up some good stocks for a coming war. Should the war have some unfavorable turns, production could suffer greatly. Without some good stocks to cover this periods, things could get ugly in the streets-can't have the Janissaries cutting down our own citizens.

Trade

Trade has remained somewhat stagnated for years. I could not initiate trades with Russia or France for the badly needed timber supplies.

On the bright side, this is the first monthly report that did not show losses from some "wana be" Vikings.

It was a good run, but it is now back down to 4th ranking. We shall see how long Spain can maintain that position.

On a more positive note; another 4 barracks have been completed.

Culture Report

Spain continues to pull ahead with cultural developments. Russia may soon pass Austria. There may be some added benefit to being in second place regarding gaining additional glory-perhaps the "superior culture" rating. I hope it will be worth it for the Czar.

The Ottoman Empire has finally surpassed Spain in military power again. This should be the last time for this juncture to occur-for a thousand years.

national Comparisons

The O.E compares favorably with the other major states in resources. I am a little envious of G.B's income-it must be massive, but it is my ally after all-nothing to be concerned about.

Russia should perhaps ask G.B. for a loan-the Czar is out of money! This was a big mistake-as he will soon learn.

The year of 1805 will likely be a historic year. War seems like a certainty-and a all encompassing war.
One of my greatest concerns is the Great Britain-my ally, will enter on the right side-my side. If it does not, it will be very hard pressed to correct the imbalance of power and glory that currently exists.

Spanish glory is increasing at a rate that would enable for it to surpass G.B. in less than a year. It could likely bypass Austria in 6 years if all things remained the same. I can only hope that King Kingmaker draws the correct conclusions from this situation.

Economic Report

Taxes had just recently been increased to 15%-a somewhat neutral level relating to production. Rates have been set to 21% witch will take 3 months to achieve. The Treasury was over 3000, but it now under 2,000 and falling rapidly.
Taxes will likely need to be pushed even higher.

National Comparisons


From this intel report it seems that Austria is not initiating new military unit construction. It also shows that Russia is still in a financial morass.

Thankfully, France is finally amassing some funds in its Treasury. I had been subsidizing France for over a year-at 30 units of gold per month.

I finally got a glimpse of the Spanish armies. There were two similar armies at Madrid. Those do not look all too impressive. I assume many units are in garrison. There is a noticeable dearth of generals. I was not aware that Spain lost more than one. If there is such a shortage, this will make things much more difficult for Spain in the coming war.
