[EmuGod]

I'd like to play! Portugal or Holland for me please!

Before commencement, King Kobi would like to propose to my fellow Europeans the FREE MERCHANTMEN PASSAGE TREATY. For one century, signatories of the treaty will not attack merchantmen (ships with no attack and capable of carrying merchants) of other signatories. This will be for the betterment of European global domination.

 

[mordhiem]

King Mord IV agrees to these terms, but he cannot guarentee not attacking ships capable of carrying military units, particulary if they are within dangerous range of English colonies.

 

[EmuGod]

The Portuguese monarchy agrees to these terms as well.

 

[kobayashi]

I must remind the signatories that the conditions apply even in times of war. I confirm that the 'safe' status does not apply to carracks, galleons or another ship which does not carry merchants (i.e. submarine flag).

If no one wants to be the Spanish within 24 hours, we will start the game.

 

[kobayashi]

Here's the map we will use. You can claim soverignty over any area which you can show a screenshot of (before anyone else)with a land unit belonging to you in the area. There cannot be cities belonging to the AI in the area.

Whether anyone else chooses to respect your soverignty that's their business. You may declare war etc. if others build in your claimed area. The map will be drawn based first upon physical control and then claims.

 

[EmuGod]

How about also signing a treaty not to attack each empire's elite caravels?

With regards to a safe passage for elite caravels, I must agree with King Mord4. They can carry military units and any treaty to protect them would be folly.

Perhaps we can simply agree to peaceful expansion until there are grounds for conflict and avoid opportunistic attacks for the time being - this must apply to the AI naval powers (Dutch and Spanish) as well or our alliances with them will trigger war anyway.

 

[mordhiem]

Well, I would like another Protestant ally, but I think we should start now. Anyone want to wait?

France begins the new century by launching a search for the westbound route to the Indies. Diplomatic relations have been established with the neighbouring powers to facilitate exploration.

 

[Eivind IV]

Could I please be the Dutch ??

 

[mordhiem]

The Mona Lisa is completed in London at great cost, King Mord IV expects it to be worth it.

Eivind, you've missed a turn, but at this stage of the game it's not really crucial, so I'm sure you can join.

 

[EmuGod]

Nothing much has happened as the Portuguese set sail for the new world.

 

[Eivind IV]

I just post the Dutch turn anyway, asuming everything is allright

Dutch vessals with colonists are headed for the West Indies to establish trade colonies. Tentions have rosen on our eastern border, as we have seen our selves tired of the hopeless try to push back the Ottomans by the Holy Roman Empire. The ever advancing Ottomans must be stopped before conquering their way into Europe. Dutch officers recived reports of heavy fighting with Ottomans outside Moscow and in Northern Africa.

Great scenario kobayashi!

(BTW, what are the merchants good for? )
