I was one move from their borders - I am now next to them. I will declare next turn

I just received 1700 ad again from pbemtracker, but I played this already on 3rd.

I am expecting 1705 ad ?

Pinged ricketyclik with news.

 

[ricketyclik]

Sorry, my mistake - I was on PBEMT loading another turn when I noticed that this game was telling me that it's my turn, so I uploaded my most recent save.

Now I remember that I previously emailed it to ZHR. So it must be... Someone else's turn.

 

[bathsheba666]

OK, let's check ....

I sent 1700 ad to Count on March 3rd

Looking up the thread, it looks like Gpcii sent it to Kiwitt on March 4th

So. Kiwit, you're up ?

 

[kiwitt]

Done!

 

[bathsheba666]

I just grabbed Brest. (It was quite squishy)

 

[bathsheba666]

sent by email to count, as tracker is currently down.

Played and sent, tracker seems to be working again

The French now have rifles as defenders.

We have captured a second city, and had razed two earlier.

 

[gpcii]

We have taken two and are heading for a third. Their tech is far greater than mine.

 

[bathsheba666]

I have paused my wars with both Alexander and Kublai Khan, capturing three and razing two French cities, and capturing one and razing one of KK's cities.

How is everyone else doing ?

 

[gpcii]

I think I am about to take my third city from Alexander. It will be costly as he has better tech and troops, but I have the numbers...

 

[bathsheba666]

I had to pause with KK as he appeared with Ships of the Line against my frigates.
He will soon have rifling also.

Now churning out SOLs and grenadiers, then will continue.

 

[gpcii]

After taking the third city, Dijon, we have accepted Alexander's terms for peace of an additional 90 gold to our accounts. These 10 turns will allow us to finish researching Riffling and work on our infrastructure.

Then, depending on our allies desires, we will ramp up to war against Alexander or Khan. (whomever needs it most)

 

[bathsheba666]

Two turns into peace with Alexander, he is demanding I change religions, and war renewal cannot be averted.

Most Noble Count, I see Alexander's capital Paris, and a few other cities, is north of your territory on the same continent.
This would be natural expansion territory for yourself, and I could raze some of his ice locked arctic cities to the islands north-west of there, knowing he is diverted. Does this fit with your plans, in say 7 or 8 turns ? If he is not diverted, then it would make more tactical sense for me to attack his main cities north of you, but I do not want to risk raising tensions unnecessarily.


It will take longer to get a fleet of Ships of the Line out to my toehold in KK's outlying islands, before I can press on.

 

[Count1]

I am at present attacking one of his cities, but am vastly out-teched. He is defending with rifles, whilst I am attacking with trebs & macemen. I am keeping him occupied, but doing little damage

I am currently churning out more mace/pikes to further annoy him, but if you want Paris take it; I doubt I'll be able to get there

 

[gpcii]

Trade Ambassadors have been sent out to my fellow civs. Anyone interested in seeing our fine wares and produce?

 

[bathsheba666]

gpcii ?

 

[gpcii]

Sorry...
