Send our army to attack Southern Mexico, use both IPs to convince the Venezualans to give up their independence and join the Pirating way.

 

[Celticfury]

Spend both my IP's building two armies.

 

[Lord of Elves]

For purposes of clarity, the French Empire's starting claims

Spoiler :

If possible this turn, spend 1 IP towards economically convincing Madagascar to join the Empire

Spend the rest on modernization in France.

 

[Sonereal]

Spend three LP building armies.

 

[GhostWriter16]

Spend three LP building armies.

Wait, we have 3?

In any case, use 'em all to try to get Venezuala.

 

[Double A]

I build 2 armies and invade Arabia with all three armies.

SoI:

Filled circles are planned expansion areas, unfilled circles are places I'd like you to alert about me if you're going to expand there. I'll probably be OK with it, I just want a warning to know which nations I'll possibly be dealing with in the future (and as an alert to show areas I may expand after my 4 goals are accomplished).

 

[GhostWriter16]

None of those territories are very high on our expansion list, but we do want a base in Africa SOMEWHERE eventually, and your territory that is directly to the South of whoever that Pink nation is, was kinda on our list.

We don't HAVE to have this territory, but we do have want of it.

 

[Lighthearter]

Remember that you all start with a free army so you can go a-claiming

@Dommy - nations with Industrial Heritage have +1 IP.

[Celticfury]

That reminds me. I was going to post this sooner of later.

The regions in olive green are areas which the Venetian Confederacy seeks to incorporate into its union in the near future.

[NinjaCow64]

Are the Indonesian Islands one claim? If so, then I spend all my money on them. If not, I spend all my money on the closest one.

My SOI is Australasia. I may claim other territories later.

 

[Lighthearter]

Indonesia is three territories - east, central and west. Pick one

[NinjaCow64]

Central!

Mexicans roll a 1 on their Morale. They will take a -2 penalty.

ROUND ONE:
Mexicans roll a 7-2=5.
Pirates roll a 3.

Pirates roll a 4 on Cohesion check(1D6) - they do not lose their army.

Pirate Coercion of Venezuela: SUCCESS
Pirates roll a 1 out of 10. Needed: 1-2 out of 10.
Venezuela has joined the Pirates of the Caribbean. Rolled a 3 on the territorial bonus check. They have sadly not been able to provide you with any bonuses.

Australian Coercion of Central Indonesia: FAILED
Australia rolls a 7 out of 10. Needed 1-2 out of 10.
Central Indonesia regrets to inform Australia that they see little point in a union at this time, but shall certainly keep their doors open to their southern neighbor.

Any units or IPs that were used to participate in these actions may not be used again until the next full update. Any units/IPs/territories gained in this interim update may not be used until then.

[Celticfury]

Wait a minute, we could build armies and attack with them on the same turn?

 

[Lighthearter]

Not allowing it more or less just slows the game down . . . .

But I can see where this might be confusing - I'll add it to the rules.

[NinjaCow64]

So, does that mean that we get extra IPs next turn? Coz that’s what it sounds like.

 

[Dem Taqat]

The UK spends 1 IP Constructing The HMS Prophet, a 6th rate/schooner, and 1 IP on building a new Army. HMS Prophet Heads out into the North atlantic, Whilst The rest of the navy transports my 2 armies to invade the Low Countries.

In the Map shown Below: Pink is our SOI, green is Negotiatable SOI. The Red Cross in the Low Countries is my Invasion, and you can See HMS Prophet in the Atlantic.

Hindustan (Empire of the Mughals)

After the victory of the Mughals in unifying the Subcontinent, His Imperial Majesty the Padishah orders the Mughal Army to march west, towards Iran, to unify all the Persian-speaking peoples under one rule (Persian is the language of the Court, the Ministries, and of royally-sanctioned art and literature). The Padishah has sent an ultimatum to the people of Iran, demanding immediate surrender, promising just rule for those who submit, and somewhat less generous treatment for those who stubbornly resists.

To this end, His Imperial Majesty the Padishah has ordered the creation of two new armies (2IPs). All three armies are under orders to march west and conquer Iran. Inshallah, we shall achieve victory and all the Persian peoples would soon be unified under the rule of our wise Sultan.

His Imperial Majesty also ordered the construction of a schooner (1IP) to be named Sind, after the river which forms the western boundary of Hindustan.

PS assign schooner to the 1st fleet with the other two ships.
