I'll have you know I've managed to keep all my teeth, even after a life time of playing goal. :)

Hmm. I'll check the war part, then.

I've been going south of the border and trying wines from Chile and Argentina lately. I haven't found anything yet to get excited about.
An Italian wine that I had recently and loved is "Allegrini 1998 Palazzo della Torre." If you can find this it’s worth drinking. Oh about the game. I have to grudingly admit that you're doing kind of okay. I just hope those following you like BB wars! ;)

LD, if any member of the alliance is at war, the alliance continually renews itself. Once all members are at peace, the 10 year clock begins to tick down.

Losing 2 hard-won vassals in the space of a few months - sounds exactly like one of my games. :p Don't fret about the Turks in Tuscany. I always find that it makes for an easy province to wrest from their clutches. Let the other nations do the annexations, I always say. Usually that makes the BB hit for the provinces lower for me when I take them later. And I always take them later... ;)

It is too bad that we are playing this game on Normal difficulty. Without the global BB wars & AI war exhaustion cheats on Very Hard, I fear these games are going to cakewalks after 100 years.... :rolleyes:

Actually, I'm not all that worried, but I have to build suspense somehow... :eek:

Agreed. I don't want to do something to ruin the game for everyone by conquering the Turks early on... :eek: . I want to leave some kind of challenge as a legacy... ;)

Ah but its all a subtle ploy by LD.

I like the devious manner of LD's mind.

Joe

What? Are the B-Team all illiterate? Tuscany (Florence) is listed in the revolter file so guess what? If it revolts successfully and the Ottomans don't bother to come back and squish it like the little Italian bug that it it, it will defect to....

Tuscany!

Great strategy guys. :rolleyes:

Thank God the A-Team knows what's going on...:D

Bah! Defections are for old geezers and Team-B players. Wait, that's the same thing... :p

We on the A-Team are young, manly, and cocky enough to let Tuscany revolt from the Ottomans, and then, rather than help them, annex them by force ourselves. Just to prove the we got the smarts.

And if the game looks like it will be easy during my reign, I will release vassals just so I can declare war on them! :D

Err...ummm.*pssst*...SM...there isn't and Ottoman Empire any longer in the A-Team thread...though of course your description of the A-Team members was dead on except you forgot to mention that we're virile too (unlike those viagra-popping B-Team types).

Bah! I can't be bothered with insignificant details like the existence of entire nations. Next you will expect me to pay attention to things like religious tolerance and inflation. I mean, really, what kind of grey eminence cares about that sort of thing anyway? :D

Since this is the TAUNT thread, I just thought I would put this up for all our PORTUGUESE friends.

USA- 3 Portugal- 2

Way to go lads!:D This honestly has to be the best US footballing result in history. Good start to the World Cup.

kurtbrian,

Nah, I posted this over on the World Cup folder too. Right after one of the Portugese bragged about how they were going to beat the US 9-0. :D

AHH, the Red Wings lose and the US wins, what could make a day better. :p
