It appears some members of the game need to study the game mechanics better, then what was obvious would need no explanation. ;)
Just as some members of the game needs to learn the rules. ;)

Edit: Nevermind, Daniel edited his post. See below.

Tohoku           (684)  1726 Jan 12
Ezochi           (684)  1726 Jan 12
Tohoku           (683)  1726 Jan 12
Shikoku          (687)  1726 Jan 12
Wasnt one of those provinces edited back to Nippon (and later conquered)?

As you can see there are two Tohokus in this list. Total confusion. I have edited my post. it was only four provinces in total I took and the last one, the one I edited back, was Kyushu. The richest of them.

We take for granted an edit will be made of Anglia, thus making it a win of 4 and a loss of 2, +2 for a war where Scotland and Portugal fought the GH, the Kaliphate, Prussia, Naples and the Teutonics. Not bad I would say. Not bad indeed.

It is not bad, i agree, but how hard is it really to fight Prussia, The Kaliphate and Naples when you have your capital in China and a fleet which outnumbers the allies by far? I could not send any reinforcements to my colonies and thus i couldnt repulse none of your attacks.

By merely assuming that Prussia would give up such a rich province like Anglia is quite ludicrous. This assumption made by the Portuguese King, sitting on his big throne in China, is seen as quite arrogant in Prussia, as the King of Portugal has no real perception of what is going on in Europe.
The State of Prussia hereby cuts all diplomatic ties it has ever had with Portugal and will not make any new ones when this kind of arrogance and the belief that they control more of the world than they actually do, rules in Portugal.

Yours truly, Frederick II of Prussia.

The pandas could have asked for Anglia and Bristol (to later give it back to the Albatrosses), but instead the pandas only asked for Tschumkan! Who needs enemies with such allies?

It is quite amusing watching the desperate efforts some nations do, trying to shake our alliance with Portugal. We can only wonder how the GH's representative dares to make such statements. Apparently he forgets that it is GH which, together with The TO, kicked Scotland out of their former alliance with no reason at all, in fact to let Scotland be a "sitting duck" as they actually said. Was that actually, the expression of gratitude towards the Scots for having fought on their side as an ally against Portugal and Naples during those past years?
On the other hand, there is a question of whether GH a real and trustworthy ally of The TO is. Well, the answer can be found in their actions during the last war, when both Prussia and GH rushed to get out of the war, before they lose their profits, being indifferent to the fate of The TO and its people, leaving it therefore completely alone in the conflict. Indeed, who needs enemies with such allies? Definitely, not The TO.
Of course the Kaliphate did the same, but it never proclaimed to be allied to them and as far as we observe the global political scene we do not see a reason to be one.

The only shock for our alliance on the diplomatic field was the reaction of Naples, as already mentioned by Portugal. It may lie on the new player, who took the country in a hideous situation and tried to pick fast whatever he could. He can always clear this up, if he wishes.

On the military field, from the point of our view it was difficult with a small navy to fight in both fronts simultaneously. While the navy had the task to deliver fresh troops to NA, it could not possibly guard the waters around the Home island. As the news of the invasion arrived at the Admiralty, Home fleet went back and succeeded into finding and sinking several ships of Prussia and the Horde.

Do we finally, have to speak about how brave the action of attacking the almost weakest country is? It is part of the cowardice of some nations proven already by the assault on Gelre, some decades ago.
But, let us deal a bit with the diplomatic skills of The TO. The actions of this nation remain an absolute mystery to us. By the way, a "1 to 1" has only a meaning when both powers are of equal strength. Is there a sense of a "1 to 1" between Portugal and Gelre, for instance? Not to mention, of course, that both sides have to be equally prepared for a war. Then it has a sense to talk of a "1 to 1", although I must remind to everybody that this is EU2 and not a duel game. Fencing is such a game for those who wish to have a duel, there you can throw your white glove to your most ...beloved enemy. As for those who dislike the view of red blood, there is always chess, but of course it demands patience instead.
Still it is most interesting the fact that The TO has started all this war and ended up with the heaviest loses. Teutonic ...strategy?



Reward: Conversion of the Pagans in Superior (94)

Provinces to Portugal:
Hyderabad (566)
Bangalore (567)

2 Generals for the next session, please.

Gelre had provinces I was interested in, I find that reason enough to attack. Prussia is not the strongest nation in the game, it has never been nor will it ever be. Gelre and Prussia had been in war over the west german provinces almost the entire game, and before this "cowardly" attack, they had won most of the wars, thus I saw it necessary to attack now, when they did not have the manpower and the same ability as they should have if they would have been at peace when I had attacked.

Furhermore, I had no interest in Scottish lands when I joined the war, nor have I now. I joined the war to help out a friend that has helped me out before, although it may not have helped him so much. But as Prussia, there is not much you can do versus a country half the world away.

According to you, nations should only attack nations who are equal in strength, this, IMO, is not possible, as equal nations have a better chance of an equal war, thus a longer and more devastating war.

Denmark AAR 1727-1745:

The Danish regent tragically died during these years. Some say he was poisoned, some say he died naturally. Although it is a fact that a ghost has been seen stalking the Royal Castle at Helsingnor, yet it is not clear whether this is the ghost of the late king or a messenger from the devil...

Nevertheless this ghost was all that kept Denmark together in these tragic and instable years. Trade almost halved in this period, however it is still at an acceptable level. Denmark now has vast reserves of gold, which will surely be spent on upgrading barracks throughout scandinavia. Tho DK is now laggin somewhat in income and in tech, however it is believed that the coming of a new all-powerful omnipotent Regent, Dud II will restore the confidence in Denmark and cause a growth in the economy etc.

In preparation for his return, he has already managed to acquire the huge land mass of Mexico from Prussia for a mere 10k (well to Den atm :)). Denmark has also decided to remain neutral in the upcoming Por/Sco vs Pru/Kal war which is largely being forecasted as occuring in the near future. Thus Denmark's eyes shall look elsewhere...tho where is the question...


------------------
- deflation please.
1 admiral and 1 general please (a CHANGE :O)

Transfer of Prussian MEXICO to Denmark, for 10k from Den. To be confirmed from ABSOLUT I guess.

CORES - ill do that tomoz, maybe :).

Dont think there is anything more atm...

I object agasint having provinces not under the owners control (rebels, foreign occupation) should be edited. In this case Hyderabad.
Aladar, what about edits concerning provinces not under the owners control?

And Dud and Absolut, post the id-nr of the provinces in Mexico.

I'd also like this clarified.
If there are no restrictions on this, the right course for the TO last session would have been to transfer all enemy occupied provinces to neutral states, thereby lowering the warscore.
