BirdNES: 1500 AD: A New World

[Perfectionist]

FROM: Portugal
TO: Egypt
CC: Spain

We will not buy them from you. However, due to the mounting pirate problem in the Mediterranean, we will allow you to maintain your five squadrons, provided they are only used to combat pirates, no more are added to the fleet, and you pay us ten thousand ducats. We would further remind you that you are a vassal of Spain, and as such have no right to conduct an independent foreign policy.

OOC:

-1 EP Portugal from trade loss with India

I don't understand this. There was a blockade last turn, so there was no trade with India to lose. In addition, I thought that trade was dependent on trade agreements.

From Egypt
To Portugal

You expect to charge us 1EP to keep our fleet? Perposterous! The fleet will not be used with agression to any but the pirates. As a vassal of Spain, what is their foreign policy?

 

[jeps]

Just realized, I signed a trade agreement with Egypt, who is not african, but middle eastern. I should have 3 trade routes (last turns stats)

 

[Birdjaguar]

The new stats when posted will show Egypt with 0 sqds and Portugal with 13+2 from Egypt or 15.

Other answers coming soon.

 

[Abaddon]

Hu? Why do i get nothing?

 

[Birdjaguar]

Hu? Why do i get nothing?

Was he suppsoed to pay for your fleet in the treaty?

 

[Abaddon]

No, the treaty merely states i cannot build a fleet.. i captured these ones

I suggested he resolve things by buying them off me.

 

[Nuka-sama]

I will not allow my vassal to not have a navy. If Portugal keeps complaining, just give me the squadrons. I need all the help I can get against Piracy.

 

[bombshoo]

edit: nevermind thought he said he DID post stats, not "when stats are posted".

 

[ThomAnder]

I take Iroquois.

 

[Birdjaguar]

I take Iroquois.

Welcome ThomAnder. I will add the Iroquois to player stats when they go up tonight.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Are the "chips of dark wood" with a hole in them what I think they are? A form of fertilizer?

You cut me to the quick, ye of little faith.

EDIT: After re-reading your entire assessment of the situation, I guess I do concur: fertilizer just might be correct.

Very Nice, Update Birdjaguar! Glad things are turning out well for little old Brandenburg.

From Joachim I Nestor, Elector of Brandenburg, Holy Roman Emperor
To Sigismund I, King of Poland, Grand Duke of Lithuania

Your victories over the Turkish meanace has brought confidence back to the Christains of Europe that the Ottoman juggernaught is not invincible. We have funded your exploits very generously not only for the good of Brandenburg but for the greater good of all Christains. We would like to negiotate the sale of the former Teutonic lands under the ruler of Brandenburg and to be incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire. We are not pressing for the handing over of the lands just inquiring whether such a sale is possible. Once again congratulations on your victories over the Turkish meanace and we wish many more for you. We will continue to fund your crusade until the Turks are driven competely from Europe.

OCC: das, I will send double then what I did last turn. Also, the sale of lands I do not want any tensions. Just a thought...

 

[Birdjaguar]

Player stats are up. Check them or errors please.

 

[Birdjaguar]

To the Sultan of the Ottomans
From the Doge of Venice and the Kingdom of Bohemia-Hungary

We wish to end the Holy crusade against your people and seek peace. We await your suggested terms.

 

[fantasmo]

To Ottoman Turkey
From the Archduchy of Austria

We propose an end to this war, and peace at present borders.

 

[erez87]

to Spain:
You have been defeated! Ha! Now declare you will never invade Jerusalem again or we shall come to Spain ourselves to make you!

Like the update. Both this and the previous style have their advantages; the present one is probably closer to what an update should be, though, whilst the previous one was somewhat more lyrical or somesuch (sounds strange, doesn't it?).

Please answer my PM quickly, I have some plans coming up!

The Farow, had you been watching more carefully you would've noticed that the Republic's monarch is now Michal I, founder of the Glinski dynasty. That was kinda an important plotline, you know. In any case, I don't think that such a sale is even proposable, seeing that it isn't owned by us, but rather is owned by the Teutonic Order, which has merely accepted our suzerainity. So you'll have to ask them instead.

That said...

IC:

From: The Republic of Poland-Lithuania
To: The Holy Roman Empire and the Electorate of Brandenburg

Whilst the lands of the Teutonic Order are not for sale - not without the Order's consent, in any case - We would be quite willing to sell you Pommerania (for 1 SP?).

From: The Republic of Poland-Lithuania
To: The Safavid Empire of Persia

We congratulate you on the acquisition of a Black Sea coastline, and propose that you set up a port and outpost there, in which our merchants can do trade with yours to great benefit of both (OOC: basically, we propose a trade agreement, as per previous discussion).

 

[Abaddon]

OOC: Lol at how NK is getting totally pwned at every turn.

 

[Abaddon]

To England, Safavid Empire, Ottoman Empire, Spain, Gujerat, Mali, Ethiopia.
From Egypt

Can we agree to a permanant trade agreement?
