Transatlantic Game IV

[Mordrorru]

If I compare the troop numbers of a Spain/England alliance with the Austria. Teuts, you would see they're both equally matched. Adding the Ottomans to that equation makes it unbalanced.

That said, I have no real interests in expanding further into France...

I see you are not including the forces of your vassals and unions in that tally, which I count at around an extra 43,000 soldiers. And when you start inheriting and annexing them, you'll be even more powerful.

Currently, the Austrian bloc has more than 100,000 men in its military forces. England, Spain and Ottomans (for what they're worth) have around 80,000. If you don't count the Ottomans, it's around 60,000.

Yeah. Poor, outmatched you.

Btw, something else, last war was fairly balanced too. Until Hil and Abb decided to chase me into the Swiss mountains and get their rear ends handed to them by reinforcements, the war wasn't going too well for me...

So basically you were losing until you were winning?

[Lord Romanus III]

The only reason I couldn't break Pat that war was due to not having manpower. I was operating near 0 the whole time, due to a constant state of war, which left my armies understrength. Otherwise, he most likely would've lost. He's not that OP. It just takes Abbs and I to match him, forcing us into a retarded unholy union.

[Mordrorru]

I'm not saying he's unbeatable. God knows we don't want that whole thing again. I'm just saying I don't think he faces a "super-coalition" that outmatches him. He's probably actually slightly more powerful than his opponents.

That's all totally incorrect... 80k total for them together? Ottomans only 20k? That's complete BS. I did count my vassals and PUs, because without them, I only have 45k max (55k if I really push it like with last war). Hil and abb have around 70k each. If you count all my vassals + the TO, I get to roughly 150k. Abbs + Hil + Hil's vassals is the same.

[SLN445]

If ottomans can only field 20k then my Morocco is more powerful which clearly isnt true.

[nhytgbvfeco2]

i'm pretty sure the ottomans had arrived in austria with 35k last war, or am i mistaken?

[Mordrorru]

I dunno. I was just going by our last save. Which was outdated. So it's entirely possible what I said was total BS.

[Lord Romanus III]

I field 80,000 Spanish Legionnaires. At the time of the last war, however, I had a paper strength of 50,000 and an actual strength of 35,000, due to not having manpower. Currently I'm far stronger than Austria is individually, although I would still need England to hold off his vassals and Unions.

[Mordrorru]

Might be a few minutes late again tomorrow. Just letting you know.

[Remlap]

I'm probably going to miss this session. Hopefully I won't but been really busy this week.

[nhytgbvfeco2]

I might be able to sub.

[Benz282]

I will be missing today's session. My friend has been in the hospital for roughly two weeks and (depending on whether he gets released or not) I'll either be visiting him or we'll be hanging out in not-hospital.

I apologize for the short notice; I don't mind having Sweden be led by an AI today. Have fun, all.

[abbews]

Having Internet problems, DNS server being strange. Should be fixed by game time.

Edit: Fixed. I'm such an engineer!

[Pat89]

Good luck Benz

[Lord Romanus III]

No game today.....

[IZob]

[SLN445]

[Pat89]

No host.

[nhytgbvfeco2]

There was a host but no one wanted him

[Archduke Greens]

Your internet sucks balls, that's why.
