Independents discover Naval Architecture and go to war with Swedes.
Veteran Arquebusiers attack sentrified Conquistadores outside Narbonne, and are defeated without scratching the defenders.
French Arquebusiers attack the (rush-recruited) Pikemen in New Plymouth and are defeated easily. That was one mismanaged attack!
More furs trapped.
No other news. I think France is going onto the defensive!
Colonies 4.2 is just about ready to release, BTW. I have been playtesting it thoroughly for the last six weeks, and I have fixed the problem of the AI not going for State Commission Army and made various other tech and unit tweaks. It plays much better and is much more challenging. More later.....

Trade & Technologies & Economy:
Economy discovered. Rum and Gold routes with Bordeaux. Got more than 2.000.000 gold; 1.250.000 sent to Englad in order to help our allies in this war. Next turn we will discover Refining, and probably Metallurgy in two or three turns after. Got 500.000 from Austrians
Military:
Narbone captured with HIGH casualities (7 veteran Arquebuisers and 1 non-veteran Conqueror) against 1 Castle, 2 Pikemen, 1 arquebuiser and a transport ship (IIRC, can you double-check this, Jhon? Many of the arquebuisers died against the Castle, two died against the Pikemans but were near of killing them). Of the surviving units, only 1 conqueror got Veteran. I also destroyed a Pikemen in a forest near Narbone with a veteran Conqueror with 1% damage (that is, near no damage) for the conqueror. Narbone renamed to Aragon UltraP, short for Aragon UltraPirenaico (Spanish for Aragon beyond the Pyrenees - In the XI and XII centuries, the Kingdom of Aragon expanded into the south of France, and remained there until the crusade anti-albionenses)
Another French attempt to get a hold on the Alps was discovered and positions were taken in order to preven it.
BTW, the Real Madrid isn't playing very well... And I want to play Colonies 4.2 rigth now!
