Thank you, Spain. OK, the square the cannon was occupying will be left for the peasants of Antwerp to farm. The Dutch forces outside the city walls will withdraw. I will attempt to make peace next move.

Sweden assure his Catholic Majesty of Spain that as stated our goal's in Africa are to obtain a slave factory and nothing else.
Agerdshamn will remain as a Swedish base on the route to the west African coast but we have no plans whatsoever to expand northwards.
Native villages where raided by Swedish cavalry in Africa this month, the loot will be used to help build permanent defences in Agerdshamn.

John I would say yes if we ever want to get anywhere with this BETA test.
As you know he is UA. Last post on the forum was 26 July, and he was supposed to return from his week of camping with his youth group on the the 11th of August. Hence the debate on the where abouts of Yop at the Boney Tourney Thread.

Yaro, you'll need to set your attitude to the Dutch to better than "Uncooperative", if I am to make peace.

Raiding Indians repulsed by our troops in the forests outside St Sauveur.
750 gold gained from Quebecois furs sold in the voracious markets of London. This has staved of the French financial crisis and enabled us to contemplate reform of our government within a couple of months.
A relief force heading towards Geneva from Berne has been repulsed. The seige of that city is hardly any further advanced, however, and our approach trenches make little progress in the rocky soil.

- War against the independents going on (one arquebusier destroyed, Lisboa sieged).
- In the economic/trade section, two commodities will reach The Netherlands (Silver) and England (Tobacco) in 1637. We ask the French king to send us 'Const. Monrachy' as soon as he will discover the tech.
- Cathedral of Manila sold (damm I need money!
)
- I forget to say in the last post that in Januray 1636 the Austrians-Habpsburg refuse to give me more money and cancel the alliance
- England is allowed to build a colony in Central America, if the colony don't interfere with a Spanish colony
No other country could build a colony in Central America, though, unless its king is willing to pay for it
- Surprisily enough, all American colonies remains in Spanish hands (by this age, in SP I use to have lost Florida and the norhtmost colony...)

OK John, I may have a problem.
I have tried now several times to found a city and can not do it.
And I do NOT get the pop up that says too many cities.
I have tried it from the right click commands and also from the Orders Menu at the top of the screen.
So what do you think?

OK, I'll try on my turn and see if I get the pop-up.
Sorry Steve, never had the chance. Does anybody mind if I take Steve's old save and force the cheat menu to appear, so I can create a settler and test this? I'm happy to wait if you like.
Get back to you on this. I shall play for Yop again....

The French Monarch, Louis XIII, has long opposed any aspect of Constitutional reform within France. However, his pressing need for money has led him to call the Estates General, and this body has refused to grant the necessary taxes unless their demands are met.
The country is in a state of some turmoil at the moment, but the probablity is that a compromise will be reached. In this period of uncertainty, our beloved Cardinal Richlieu has assumed the duties of Lord Protector, to assure the safety of His Majesty...
Our Dutch allies have been informed of our new Constitutional plans, but we think their bourgois and mercantile Republic will continue to suit them well.
We have sent the same knowledge to Madrid and to Stockholm, in exchange for gifts or promises of gifts alrady known to those courts. We would just mention that these gifts should not be traded on to other nations without French agreement....
[Actually, we are almost in the situation, with interlocking tech treaties, that as soon as somebody discovers something, all the rest share in it. This is not so unrealistic, but it does detract from one element of the game. What do you all think...?]
Geneva has finally fallen! Many cannon were expended in the attempt, burst in action or with their barrels simply worn out. However, the Swiss confederation is on the retreat, and future gains are anticipated.
A native settlement plundered north of St. Sauveur - just before the English got there!

If you get the Swedish save I have a colonist in Central America near Mosquito Coast. Thats the one I tried with.
Thanks

Domestics news: REVOLUTION! A shock in the Spanish Court! The "comuneros" movement, that is, the movement that wanted to give power to the Courts of Castille, a very ancient and in someways democratic institution of the Kingdom of Castille, has resurected after the Count-Dux Olivares economic plot was made public. The Courts of Castille revolution have been supported by Portuguese, Aragonese and Basque people, who want more control about King's right to intefere in internal affairs. A compromise will be reached, however the power will be share with the Court of all the Spanish Kingdoms: Portugal (in way to be reconquered), the Ducate of Milan, Naples, Castille, Guipuzcoa, Vizcaya, the Kingdom of Aragon, the French-Count and the Spanish Netherlands. In all the american teritory, the viceroys will be supervised by the Courts of Castille, that have won, with this movement, a economic stronghold both over the King and the other kingodms of the Empire!
War news: The sieges of both Lisboa and Rome and in their way, although the siege or Rome is probably to be broken (too few forces). Some indepedendents forces were destroyed in North Italy, and some natives near Mexico.
Trade news: One tobacco commoditie reach london, giving 889 gold to the King of Spain (who did the trade just before the revolution to maximize gain). The technology of Corporate Law, which will enable the Courts to reinforce the economic power of the exhausted Spanish mainlad have been near researched. The first turn without turnmoil it will be discovered. Some Spanish silver is waiting the turmoil to stop in order to trade with the Dutchs. Gold commodities are in its way towards England and The Netherlands. However, Spain will consider offers of Sweden and France if attractive enough.
International news: We ask France for share the Constitutional Monarchy tech with the English. Maybe they could offer Improved Hulls to France as soon as discovered?? I think a just barter can be agreed
Wow-long post. copying it in the notepad before posting so it will be no lost!
* The comuneros did exist, in times of Charles the I, and were defeated. Some people say that it was the beginning of the Spanish Empire... but the end of Spain itself!
