Hans(e) and the Balance of Power

[unmerged(11600)]

At least there appears to have been a little profit. All the fighting against the evil English done by you?

Very little profit. I probably made less than 40 gold on the whole thing. And yes, I did all the fighting, as all my allies are landlocked German states. Interestingly, England, which started the war against me, never made any effort to attack any of my holdings.

Oh, and latest update: Brittney Spears must be very popular in Spain, as on 16 Jan 1648 they played Oops, We Did It Again, embargoing my merchants.

Argg! stupid dump-by-dialup!

Wars with Spain, Turkey, France.

Fall from grace, annex provinces. o Tanganika from Turkey, Tuscarora from Iroquois (return Genoese province to Austria).

Converted to Reformed during one of those wars (forget which).

So you having internet trouble Pat? Sorry to hear that...

Still nice work grabbing those provinces and converting as well that should also give you some nice benefits, well done

Dial-up is evil, but I hear it makes it harder for people to hack your computer since the internet is not automatically connected twenty four/seven.

What proportion of your grand empire is Reformed? The part that has New England Puritans in it?

What proportion of your grand empire is Reformed? The part that has New England Puritans in it?

Only whatever I've colonized since conversion, which means only about 3, maybe 4 provinces. My German core and all my older colonies are all Protestant. Massachussetts Bay is still a trading post, so I can still send the Puritans there.

England, France, and the Netherlands all have large trade post empires to cut up (Spain is down to little more than cities). I dominate NA's Atlantic coast, but England and France dominate Canada and the interior. South America is a real patchwork, although the Inca remain untouched. I dominate Africa, but French TPs keep returning (I have more important places to send my colonists). India is still largely open, but I have no rivals in Indochina. The Indonesian archepelago is split between Portugal and the Dutch, while England is alone in Oz and the rest of the Pacific.
