Transatlantic Game IV

[IZob]

Atleast he has one

[IZob]

What was the game date when the session 2 map screen shot was taken?

[Archduke Greens]

We'd better be on for Friday. I want a good host and I want to take Sicily to glory!

[abbews]

I suppose I will host tonight? Everyone have hamachi and we will be fine.

[Archduke Greens]

We're now missing Spain. If there's anyone that wants to take Spain over that is reasonably competent, post here or make it known in the Steam chat later, otherwise I will abandon Sicily and take Spain instead.

[Lord Romanus III]

Spain will remain.

[SLN445]

Will post my AAR soon.

[Mordrorru]

Wait, we actually had a game today?

Or maybe that'd be "yesterday" by the time all you Europeans read this.

[SLN445]

Yeh we had a game using Hamachi (i think)

[Lord Romanus III]

Spain colonized Madeira, the Azores, and the Canary islands and the sold all but the last one. I colonized part of Brazil and I'm taking out part of the Caribbean. Furthermore, I am conquering Asia Minor and annexed Toulouse, along with annexing 3-province Savoy. Spain ended the game with the highest income (barely) and a gigantic army and navy.

Sweden has ended up in a slightly better position than it was in at the start. After a few hiccups, Norway has finally been completely annexed. Cores have been gained throughout Scandinavia (~40 years away from gaining a core on Akershus). Inflation has been reduced by half, income has reached acceptable levels, and I have been constructing buildings throughout the realm. Following the annexation of Norway, Sweden became an Empire.

As a side note, Sweden has the highest Discipline among her ranks out of any nation (along with one of the smallest armies, but hey).

Morocco:

> Destroyed 2 more Western African nations and started to push into Mali and Benin
> Conquered a large swath of Egypt and will finish them off soon
> Took Alexandria from the Ottoman Empire while assisting Spain, giving Morocco its first Permanent Center of Trade
> Lost a lot of its trade connections, reducing it considerably in income... though this was regained with the Capture of a Cot and the building of one in its Captial, giving Morocco some decent safe trade income. Tax income was also considerably improved, all in all bringing Morocco back up to its place in the top five incomes of the world.
> Noticed an african province in the hands of a Foreign European power... the Teutonic Order.. something that aggrivates the Sole African powerhouse.
> Improving its navy two fold, to a size capable of taking on a lot of potential rivals.

Future:
> Goals have now been set, Africa will become a single Unified Islamic country with Centers of Trade doting its cost and an economic power never seen before.
> Give TO the boot out of Africa, a peaceful solution will be sought first but if one cant be found.... Military action may be required.

[Archduke Greens]

I'm liking the sound of that! A united Africa would be awesome.

Also Rickie I still want my part of the Caribbean. You can have the large islands if I get the diddy ones on the side

Sicily did gloriously this session, despite a failed invasion of Indonesia due to the primitive natives having more canoes than us. I will come back with caravels and cannon and blast them away in a few years. Accomplishments this session though...

-Lost all merchants in Europe due to awesomely cool infamy levels
-Made 3 free trade moves
-Expanded the navy to 5 carracks
-Switched out Press Gangs for QftNW and my next idea was Divine Supremacy, so I can convert and conquer the East easier.
-Gained 5 merchants in China, which allowed me to DOUBLE my income.
-Increased the army size up to 14k, but unfortunately 4k were wiped out by rebels.
-Converted Crete
-Cored everything in Europe. I now have a stable platform to launch invasions of the East and colonisations of the Caribbean.
-Let Tripoli expand to four provinces. This vassal will be released for the Moroccans to eat eventually, but for now I need all the money I can get.
-Conquered my first foothold in Asia. Sri Lanka fell to the Sicilians and will be kept for staging invasions, due to its relatively high supply limits.

I know that in the future I will need to build my navy up considerably, but I don't have the forcelimits to do that yet, unfortunately. Once I have about 15 big ships I will recommence my attack on Indonesia. As always - Sicily claims China, Indonesia and Japan for itself. No other nations will be allowed to encroach on rightful Sicilian territory.

[SLN445]

Morocco Supports Sicilian Claims!

hehe, was about to mention Tripoli but you have already thought of that

[nhytgbvfeco2]

The order does not take kindly the moorish threats. a peaceful little colony in calabar surely isn't a threat to the moors, but those seem to choose to be aggressive. However, the order is willing to accept a peaceful solution to the issue and relocate it's colonial interests to a new place, the main reason calabar was taken is because benin didn't give military access

[Archduke Greens]

Why are you even playing colonial as the TO anyway..? If you're going to go colonial though, conquering Arabia would be cool. Take Mecca and Jerusalem for great Teutonic Glory

[IZob]

MAPS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN!!!!





Also, what year are you up to?

[Pat89]

Austria:

Had a massive troll king (4 4 6) who ruled for 50-55 years. When he finally died he decided to screw me over even more, and not let me inherit a single of my PU's.

Made my claim on the Netherlands stronger by: taking Holland and Zeeland from a massive Utrecht and made them release Gelre and Friesland too. Conquered Vlaanderen from Flanders (I can now trade \o/). Fought some Ottos and GH. Passed another reform too.

[Archduke Greens]

I'm glad I'm shifting ass out of Europe with that HRE blob. I want to see Holy Roman Germany make moves on Russia and have an awesome Russo-Germanic war

[abbews]

England:
Took 3 French provinces, leading to the utter destruction of the nation of France.
Bought the Azores from the Spanish.
Colonised Greenland.
Invaded India and Bengal, conquering a foothold.
Expanded economy greatly.
The Royal Navy is the biggest navy in the world, fielding over 80 ships.
