Just sensing your ambition. Don't be afraid of the coptomans :)
If I attack the coptomans, not only will he bring massive numbers of more advanced troops onto me, but his guarantee of me will drop and ming will come in like a hurricane and whip me with equal force from the east. No thank you, I'm going to play nice with the true roman emperor and see both of our goals achived.

Help me decide. Should I:
1. Accept defeat and lose provinces.
or
2. Make the mountains red and after that accept defeat and lose provinces.

Just want to add in the offer right now for the 6 provinces is because me and Ihki are benevolent. If we have to grind you to 100% occupation the same demand doesn't apply anymore, then you'll lose heartland Austrian land.

but my benevolence has limits

I don't have Janissaries yet, if the war rages on though I am more likely to get them.
The bigger losses I get with normal manpower(and not mercenaries) the better for me to get the event.

Only trigger condition for the Janissaries is 50+ army tradition, and 5+ in at least one monarch power. There are no MTTH modifiers.
Once you meet that, it'll take about three years on average to trigger.

I guess more losses might mean hitting and staying at 50+ army tradition for longer :p

It's a pip difference of 2, it is not gonna be a major difference that would tip the odds in his favor. Besides, artillery wins combat, infantry is just the shield.

Still even if you get the events, anatolian units gets less effective compared to europeans I think. The golden age of the turks will end soon ;)
Ottoman troops equal Western ones until tech 19, unless something has changed since 1.19. http://www.eu4wiki.com/Land_units
From tech 15 (where I think they're currently?) to 19 they both have 12 pips.
Come tech 19, Western units have 15, while Anatolian units have 13.

You are already at 0. I think you need some mercenaries if the war goes on.

Of course I will start recruiting mercenaries but I wanted to get manpower killed off as more losses equals more AT while mercenary losses only gives half of what you would normally get.
This is why I didn't have mercenaries weaved into my normal armies.


Didn't expect all of them to go that quickly though.

Hey did you miss what I said as Russia? "Russian lives are cheap"
"Napoleon claimed he could not be stopped because he spent 30 000 lives a month. What does that make me who spend double that amount a month?" - Tsar Fyodor II von Hapsburg

Do you not remember what happened to Napoleon after he spent so much per month? :p

Actually that quote is from way before his actual defeat, it was before Austria joins the sixth Coalition. The point of the quote is though a change in the idea of warfare that happened during the era. You have to understand that before that the very thought of losing 30 000 men was in essence the same as loosing an entire war. What was revolutionary with Bonaparte was how he could draw upon his entire nation for manpower which no nation before in history had been able to do.


Heck still even at start of World War I, the British Army was like what, 75 000 men? (not counting garrisons) The Jourdan Law in 1798 was literally everything the Nobility of Europe had ever feared and kind of put Europe on path to make world wars potentially possible.

Well, that was the thing that made Rome exceptional .
Er the Romans did not draft their soldiers, they were professional soldiers. They weren't exceptional at all in that area, heck even Babylonians were more exceptional with their draft system. Their armies weren't even that big even if you compare it to Late Medieval standards. What was exceptional with Rome though was integration which gave them a lot of potential manpower.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the 6th coalition formed as a direct result of the failure of the Russian war and was the coalition that defeated Napoleon? My Napoleonic wars history isn't the greatest so I could be wrong.
Yes it was, and the quotes authenticity is disputed as in "we don't know if it is actually true he said this", heck Napoleon is even known for liking to hyperbole so even if he said it we don't know if it would be true. But the quote in itself comes from the point of the manpower capabilities of the Revolutionary Republic which before that was unseen. The closest would be the Abassids fighting the Tang in Tibet.maybe a thousand years ago? If we can trust those numbers?


(The mongols I don't dare to say because the numbers given by Western/Muslim account is staggering and could very likely be multiple reports of same army but just moving fast enough that it "appears" in two places)

There is a very good reason he doesn't have any allies: he's a pretty **** ally to have. Even Salty Daniel seems to have learned that EU is not HoI, but Zerg Rush Daniel is still playing StarCraft and ignoring the diplomatic metagame.

I kept all my promises last campaign, even gave away more because players were complaining and I wanted to keep all the alliances. I just don't feel like putting in all the extra hours is worth it, even if it secures a better placement. I think it is way more fun to actually fight wars against players and lose, rather than winning because of talks during the week. With that said I of course still talk with players, sometimes more and sometimes less, and check for options. I am just not interested on doing it too much. If that makes me a bad player diplomacy wise then so be it. The viewers seems to enjoy it as well.
I can have wars against AI whenever I want, having wars with your friends/coworkers is something extra. :)

I think people have the wrong impression? This isn't a war to kill StarNan now or in the future, it is a war to take what was promised to PLC and rightfully due theirs as the Polish and Lithuanian people bleed for Austria to retain their power hungry grip on Bohemia and Hungary. Several Times.


Oh yeah and liberate Electors from the evil yolk of the Archduke, yada yada yada......

I think people have the wrong impression? This isn't a war to kill StarNan now or in the future, it is a war to take what was promised to PLC and rightfully due theirs as the Polish and Lithuanian people bleed for Austria to retain their power hungry grip on Bohemia and Hungary. Several Times.


Oh yeah and liberate Electors from the evil yolk of the Archduke, yada yada yada......

You forgot the part where you don't try to do anything for the Electors in the peace offer you gave me. :)
