Frankfurt: A tale of an angry little German city that could (Magni Mundi IV)
Chapter X: Can a get a White Peace to go with my Fries?
1578 - 1579
Not many words, but lots of pictures (which some I have forgotten to take)
France rejects my White Peace offer yet again. I have no vassals to release nor do they seem to be able to bother invade my territories. The war drags on.
Suffice to say, they are hanging out with the Negative 3 Stability Club and have no desire to work on that 10 land tech to even match mine.
Not like it matters since I'm using mostly mercenaries.
Although France, like Bohemia, uses its allies to invade with meager forces.
But at least the Swiss wise up to the fact that they are simply fighting someone else's war and go home.
Meanwhile, I'm hanging out the the nerdy Stability Positive 3 club.
Although my reputation is pretty damn high. I mean... These people attacked me and expect me not to annex them?
Well... There was Saxony *coughs* (even though I didn't annex all of them)
Anyhoos. I'm out of manpower.
Not like it matters since I'm using mostly mercenaries as fodder and disband the disheveled units and rehire them fresh to keep their prices down.
Pommeria decides that a White Peace ain't so bad after all when Lubeck is using them as a punching bag.
France is alone now, but they have no intention of ending this damn war.
Well... I'm not the one at -3 Stab.
I can just keep waiting this one out.
Although... I notice one of my vassals doing something odd.
He taking on France by himself.
But not just that, there are no French forces on the border?
Could it be...
Oh not now. At least he's got a good diplo rating.
I almost forgot I converted to a Kingdom a while back.
But back to the topic at hand...
France has no troops left! They must have ran out of manpower too with all the wars in the netherland regions!
Seeing I've got over 10,000 troops and nothing better to do, its time for a road trip!
Thus ends Chapter VIII in which Frankfurt sits around and actually has Allies that are worth something now. Can Vertinox resist Magni Mundi Gold? Where is the latest Dues Vult dev diary? Or has Johan given up and just decided to release DV and thus prematurely ending this AAR.
