BirdNES 3: When Worlds Collide

Stats going up now.

@Oruc: it was not a trap.
 
My stats seem VERY wonky.. PM sent...
 
OOC: Great update. Worth the wait.

IC: To: Spain, Portugal, Venice
From: Maximilian von Hapsburg


We congratulate your nations on their mighty victories over the Turk and his pirate allies in the western Mediterranean.

To: Hungary
From: Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, Archduke of Austria, ect.


We congratulate you on successfully driving the heathen Turkish armies from your homelands, and we hope that you will continue the campaign. At the same time, we ask whether you would be willing to sell your land to the southwest of the Sava River, or at the very least a strip of land here.

To: His Holiness, Gregorious XIII
From: Maximilian von Hapsburg


Imperial armies shall continue in these upcoming years to drive the heathen Muslims out of the Balkans, conquering these lands for the greater glory of God. As a sign of our goodwill and wishes of pleasant health for your Holiness, we send a gift of 500 gold liberated from Turkish coffers in Sarajevo and Belgrade.
 
How come I'm down to 2 initiative points but I still have more prestige than Portugal who has 4? I've been lacking IP the whole game...and now I lost even more.
 
Great Update! I suppose income will materialise from taxes and tariffs in Tunis next turn?

You should have 4.

EDIT; I corrected a rounding error in one of the links. You have 4 now.
 
64 ships - 18 ships is not 28 ships :(
 
To Rome
From Milan

I am shocked at the message from Rome... I refuse to believe that Rome and the Vatican would forsake their own followers. You have let down millions of loyal Catholic followers with your new treaty with France and for what? Money from Paris. Does Milan or other faithful Catholic nations not give you enough in tithing or donations to support the Vatican and our faith? Milan just recently sent a purse of 1,000 gold to Rome and I know others have followed our example.

Instead of accepting our generous contributions to the Church, you have given France power over Italy and the Catholic Church. It is now in my understanding that the Pope has betrayed God by selling His kingdom to a mortal King.

Genoa was freed from French rule and Milan will continue to fight until Italy is free from French influence and control. We beseech the Pope to reconsider their stance and pray to the Lord for guidance in these troubling times. Rest assured, Milan will never lay down her arms we will wage a bloody war with France until France drops their claims to the Church and returns it to its rightful owner, the Holy Father and His Son.
 
Nice update. I'm going to gloat a bit about how Poland has bigger casualties than Muscovy for once. :p I'm also going to try and be more active outside of just sending orders from now on.
 
TO: Carlos VIII of France, Il Papa Gregorious XIII
FROM: Juan I, King of Spain and Navarre


It brings a great heaviness on my heart and soul that so shortly after the passing of my father from this mortal world and into the arms of our Lord that such a travesty could occur. Carlos has purchased the divine right to Italia. Beyond the bonds of your earthly possession you must know that in Heaven above our God resents such a pact. Our faith is the one truth and we must admire and follow it without question. Yet I see Carlos, on his throne of many lies, coveting his neighbors property. Gifts of our Lord to our brothers in Italia, and forsaken by the Holy See. My father and mother trusted Roma in the ways of our holy faith and guidance, but now I see the truth behind the veil. Carlos will relinquish all rights he has claimed to the thrones of Italia before Easter in the year of our Lord Fifteen Hundred Sixteen. I am not my parents and I will not allow the continuation of such a vine in the holy church. Spain will cut the vine at the root; bringing down the tangled web of lies.
 
Beej, are you going to handle NPC diplo for Malacca please?

We request that you cease all tax collection from Chinese ships docking in your ports. We also expect 2000 gold to be returned to us, correcting erroneous collection from the few years.

Your Eminence, we would be quite happy to comply with your request as soon as you remove your colonists and presence from Bangka Island and the Sunda Stratits. We will schedule our compliance with your departure.
