Chapter 2
Treaty of AoD

The Queen
A messenger was recived late last night, he carried with him several
"Wonder"ful drawings and the "Peace Treaty of AOD" in which I signed
in haste. I sea it covers no War in our Homelands to the extent of our borders
and I like this.
I wonder if thats why these drawings were rendered.
Safety at home must mean opportunities for Higher learning and building of great archetecture.

Just a moment messenger before you take leave.:wavey:
"Shoot what?" I'm not going anywhere until I'm dismissed my Queen.

Let's see I need some parchment and a quill, ah yes here we go. This
treaty is missing something, I shall submit an article to the Kings.:king:

I say we must put forward an addition to these words of Wisdom. The Netherlands, some know them as the Dutch will never abide by this treaty.

I hereby bring forward these words that need to be discussed by the Kings:king: and Queens:queen: of Europe.
1 The Dutch is rumored to plan attacks on our Homelands to improve his own standing. Will the European Kings send forth just enough of its Armies to cause him to cease his firing?
2 no one nation can overpower the Dutch and command his land, this would be an underlying point of not waging war among ourselves.
3 If relations between the Netherlands become unbarable we must discuss razing his cities one at a time, down to his Capitol or worse, to include it
Queen Elizabeth:queen:

Here messenger take this to the next King:king: and make haste, I know your journey is slow by sea and you there "Lady in waiting" tell the Officer outside my door to EXPAND OUR NAVY IMMEDIATELY, while others are not and bring me a spot o tea:coffee: dear it is time.
 
We are glad to help our new friends defend their citizens. We have killed the barbarians for you. We have also spotted their village over the mountains and will dispose of that too.
We look forward to receiving your gifts.

Queen Elizabeth,

Fully support an agreed peace within Europoean borders.

Please let us know your expectations for what and how many units you expect each country to provide to keep the Netherlands honest, and where do you expect those units to reside?

GPS.
 
This is not a major thing at all. who ever is attacked by the Netherlands can post how much units he is being attacked with. Each of would most likely have a Caravel in the area and a few units in their capital area. So each would probably respond with maybe 2 units.

Here is the whole point, let us say for example the Netherlands pick on France for an example.
France says its no big deal and he can handle it own his own. This will probably be the case but France has to change his strategy a bit like for an example switch from building a Granary to a unit. from that point he has no problem dealing with the Dutch.

But he has lost the opportunity of finishing his Granary and maybe now he is paying for support of a unit he would not have trained. My idea is to keep everyone in Europe on their original plan or strategy and together completely separate from what is occurring in the New World we band together just enough to insist on the Netherlands to go back to peace. If peace can not be achieved we must all gather just enough units to raze one of his cities test him for peace if not raze another one and so on.
We must share this and we must not benefit from it outside of what might be received from pillaging.

What ever is happening the New World should continue, if 2 nations are warring they should continue but over in Europe the setting is Neutral and the objective is to preserve all cities in Europe


This is just an idea, I am not a rule maker here and there might be a much better idea if the no war in Europe treaty is broken by the AI.

Another idea I had on this point was if there is a tech that can be researched for the protection, this would be passed to all for a cheap price to the owner whole volunteered to research the tech and then diplomatically gang up on him until he grants peace. the disadvantage here being would be a peace treaty among warring nations if that is happening in the new world because you can not have a protection pact with someone you are at war with.

So again it is just an idea and who knows if it will ever be needed but if England or who ever looses a European city to the AI would be a game changer.
 
I'm a bit confused again :confused:...
We have voted to allow war in europe 3 against 2 (see post #59)

We are proposing an agreed peace within European borders.

If this is agreed, and somebody breaks this treaty, they will only breaking the treaty and not the rules.

We are under no obligation to agree to this treaty, but I think it's in all our best interests if we do!
 
Okay, i tough i've build units to protect myself for nothing :mischief:

For the AI, i think i am the only one realy in danger in case of an attack...
England may be the AI target too, but landing is not really well done by AI.

In this game i think the AI will only be dangerous at sea with privaters
 
Well that may help those with borders next to the Dutch state but they are little threat to Spain. We would be prepared to cut them off from all trade should they declare war on our friends.

We thank our new friends in the new world for their gifts, we have removed the barbarian encampment from your vicinity.

@Tom can you stop using automove it creates problems in pbems. Usually it is banned from these games. (Portugal)

In my real life (RL) I'm driving North threw the original 13 Coloniss D.C in a bit
 
One of the problems is if you move a unit using go to. It will move it's allotted number of spaces in your turn, then in the inter-turn it will move again. You will not be able to move it next turn.

This means you can put troops in a threatened city in one move instead of two. It still takes the same amount of turns but arrives sooner.

Your boats were moving after I saved so they must have been moving on a go to order. It's OK with workers on auto.

Maybe the ships spend less time in open ocean and avoid pirates. Maybe you can found a city one turn earlier.

Normally human players don't use go to in pbems to avoid any arguments. I think it's one of those unwritten rules, well until now anyway :)
 
GPS to Tom.

My opinion on automove: it's ok to move a unit as long as that move ends within your turn. E.g. if a unit is moving on a road, you don't need to move all three sub-steps separately. You may use "goto" to move the unit in one go. Or a ship that has 5 movement, may be moved for 5 tiles using "goto".
But never use goto for a move that would extend beyond the current turn.
It's definitely broken in multiplayer.

(I think this is the same bug, that makes a worker finish a road in 2 turns, instead of 3, and then keeps the worker "immobile" for the third turn?!)

OK, thanks guys.

I'll be careful not to use automove in future - I had no idea!

I can play my turn in around 2 hrs....
 
In other way, automove can make bug, such as freezing the units that were implicated in that moves ...

Eclipse to play
 
Chapter 3
Kings and Queens

Dear God allow them to understand that I Role Play and God save the Queen.

Queen Elizabeth
You there, "Lady in waiting" bring me my crown. I have something to say and I want to be in my proper atire.

Before discussing troop movements we were discussing King William of Netherlands role in this Treaty of AoD.

I understand some discusion has occurred while I was away handling other courtly affairs and I would like to add that it is not wise to consider war of any kind or to not fear it because of location. We should all know that The the Dutch wonders have wartime merit.

If you are not worried about this directly, which I doubt anyone really is, but consider the negative impact of waging a war whilest the others carry on with all positives.

I have said this and now I must take my leave.
"You there Knight, what is your name?"
Sir Tator my Lady.
"My Lady?" "do you want to roll around on the hay with me, my lady? "I am your Queen"
No my Queen, I mean yes my Queen, I'll shut up now my Queen, what was it you needed my Queen?
"what is your first name?
Richard, my Queen
(Laughs) do your freinds call you Dick?
Yes my Queen
(Laughs) Hey everyone, we have a Dick Tator in the Castle.
Huh?
Have they started to build my ships Sir Dick?
I don't know my Queen.

Chapter 4
Sir Tator reassigned.....
