Overlord if nothing else I must say it certainly is an accurate name.......

I better play the turn before Darius gets pissed at me

Sunk a dutch merchantman west of Cadiz, and the arthritic, ancient and impotent Spanish Empire could of course do little else.

 

[Darius]

Hahaha sucka, that merchantman managed to drop off trade goods in Lisboa and Barcelona! I even went past Gibraltar without getting caught! Bagged me a good 300 gold to use making war against you too.

300 will go pretty quick. I wanted the trade arrows for the long term, thanks! So I waited to sink the ship till AFTER you dropped off the goods, so you did my work for me. Now I can continue to build military units in those cities instead of trade units to work on my deficet (which just became a surplus thank you). You should have taken the goods to to your traitorous partner.

 

[Darius]

Bull****, I'm sure you just watched it go by and tricked me, right.

I plan on being in this game till the end, do you?

And those trade arrows are worth a lot more than 300 gold in the long run. If I didn't just watch it go by, why didn't I sink it when you went in?

Why dont you build another merchantman, and two trade units and come to Spain again and see what happens?

Hey Einstein, I got arrows out of it too.

I think you should go back to grammar school, what the hell does this mean?

Good for you Einstein jr, but who needed the trade arrows more me or you?

Me. I've rushed at least two dozen units total and need the green. Frankly I don't care if you get two or three trade arrows, Spain's still a s**thole.

OK I refuse to talk to you anymore till you , you are being very unpleasent this morning and you have hurt my feelings, and Im a very sensitive kind of a guy.

 

[Darius]

Ahhh, so how about them Mets?

 

[Yop73]

Hit and run attacks into France kill 3 Demi-Calvurins.
For the rest: moved some troops around, etc.

 

[Darius]

Overlord, how the hell do you plan to mount heavy sieges when this happens every turn? This is ridiculous!

 

[Darius]

The usual turn, more dazzling victory for the Dutch.

 

[Yop73]

Darius, btw.
How about we call our alliance: "The Winners" ?

 

[The Overlord]

Well you can see these figures are simply not true. I don't even have Rittsknechts but I lost one . Furthermore most of the units are marked as lost from the beginning of the game, don't really know why but there are already units destroyed before the game even starts. So in reality I lost only half of the units stated out here and no price is high enough to achieve our noble aims

 

[Darius]

Nice try but I looked at it myself Overlord, the only French unit on there at the beginning of the scenario was a single rittsnecht, see for yourself:

 

[Darius]

Furthermore Yop and I distinctly remember killing just about that many units.

Your war has to be possibly the most pathetic military failure I've ever seen here. You and Steve have lost four times units your enemies have, you've made no advances that you weren't allowed to make, the Spanish Caribbean colonies are reeling, two of your home cities lie in ruin, and with the geographic situation in the Low Countries it is literally impossible to capture my home cities minus Antwerp.

Darius, btw.

I wish, but the winners usually end up convincing the other side to make peace. These two must be just plain nuts.

 

[The Overlord]

Antwerp recaptured and the storm on Njmwegen began.

 

[Aravorn]

Overlord

Thanks for posting so quick because Im so despondant right now I think Im going to disband what few military units I have left (of course) and just let the British and Dutch take over Spain.
