To Austria (and anyone else who wants to know why i attacked Austria)
From Russia
You may wonder why Russia attacked you. Well, it was to pay you back for your "help" in my war with Prussia. During my war with Prussia we came to deal that if you help me in the war on Prussia, then i would hand over control of Territory 56 to you. And I assume you think you held true to that agreement. But here are the REAL effects of your joining the war:
first turn of your involvement:
First thing you do is take my province. (costing me 1 gold/turn, and getting 1 less upkeep free army a turn).
then next turn:
in territory 34, no effect at all "but the Austrian army wisely decided to withdraw rather than face the four French armies in battle for ownership"
and "(No armies lost, 39 captured by Austria)" you took one Prussian territory (doing same damage to him as to me, but one turn later)
and the turn after that you forgot about the Prussian war:
and went after italy.
in the end you did the same damage to both Russia and Prussia (took one province without killing any armies) but you did it to me one turn earlier thereby costing me one gold more then Prussia.
so much for "help".
In summary, what you did was see an oportunity to attack two warring nations while neither had the capacity to strike back at you. Then you saw a better oportunity in Italy and went for it.
Now i have taken back that which you unfairly gained from the Russian/Prussian war. I have taken back the province you took from me. And i have taken the province you took from Prussia while they sent all their armies to fight Russia and France as compensation for the monetary loss you wrought on me, and because i feel that since France and Russia defeated Prussia, it should be our two nations that control formely Prussian lands, not an oportunistic Austria.
What happens next depends on your reaction. I await your response and proposals.
