Swedish troops arrive in northern Africa, war has been declared versus the evil state of Marroco! Landed Swedish troops have where very succesfull in the initial assault of the fortress of Agadir, an aging medieval castle which was no match for our battle hardened German veterans.
The city is expected to fall into Swedish hands within a month, a colonial administration is allready on it's way to the city by ship.
In Germany the Swedish offensive is resting for a few months to replenish ranks and repair/replace equipment lost in the seige of Poznan.
Sweden would like to suggest an agreement to Richeliou... If we are allowed to copy our allies' soon to be improved government system, perhaps the we could repay with a future Swedish discovery?
(I'm also researching Constitutional Monarchy, but as my pelts haven't yet reached europe I won't get it before you. If you gift me the tech my beakers will carry over to the next thing I chose to research however...)
Btw, John, as every turn is 6 months, perhaps you could rename the months of January and July to Spring and Winter or Summer and Autumn or somesuch? Just a thought...
