Whoa, Venice got a super leader from 1711 till 1750.
And another good one from 1698 till 1730.
Tonio is cheating!

sure, i need to reply FAL`s five millions !
though Venice has already have better admiral, but general is good to capture Thrace and annex evil muslims
P.S. Why i`m so sure my next country will be leaderless Sweden ?

Ozzeh,
1. I didn`t pause during battles
2. How can you imagine to command combined fast warships ? Desyncronization is main reason why two bigger fleets can`t win one smaller in longterm usually. And Rob was busy with other things, so i needed some pausing, yes

You paused to tell Rob where to move his fleet. NL, England and Sweden would have this same problem, yet did not pause.
they had much more dominated leader, and then they just block Iberians
anyway i`m sure you are right to make rating if you think so, but i`m so sure i was right to reduce losses

True, I didn't say it was a bad tactic. Its just that I don't like it

then you have to give malus for NAP breaking, because you don`t like it, right ? :rofl:
hehe, FAL, looks like your motivation system works, even better than deflation. Guys like pure cash, and we got 3 latecoming ratings :rofl:
Tonioz said:btw, Mozzeh, enjoy brilliant Tonio XVII
I will
I will use him like I use a cheap whore
Ozzeh said:I will
i protest ! it is incredible. Such whore could save iberians last session, but we didn`t get "Wonko XVII" who is 6-6-6

Wonko XVII. is presently trying to sober out in preparation of today´s onslaught. The oldschool, meschugge-delic Wardandy will be on the battlefield however, if he is not abducted by a beautifull and sparsely clothed amazon from the east......
In the name of God and the Habsburg-Axis we wish to announce :
"During the past days talks have been held in Constantinople between the magnificent Sultan and the Archduke. In an atmosphere of honour, decency and amicability we have worked out our national differences and concluded a treaty, with which we hope to bring peace and prosperity to the wartorn Balkans and North Africa."
In this Pact Of Constantinople Venice graciously cedes Macedonia and Hellas to the Empire Of All Ottomans.
The Sultan in return signs a Pact Of Nonagression with the Habsburg-Axis (Spain, Portugal, Venice and Austria), valid for 20 years. This pact will take effect immediately after the peace has been signed.
Honour for the Brave!
signed,
Ampoliros (on behalf of the Archduke)

Eagerly awaiting for reports, how did it all go?
None of you probably want to know but I'll tell how it went with my car anyway since I'm bored here
So the battery was completely dead, nothing happening. This was due to the cold outside (varying between -25 and -20 for a couple of days now), and the fact that my car is from central Europe, with a weakish original battery.
What made the mission critical was that I have a service time cheduled for the car tomorrow. If I could not make it, I would have to wait a couple of more weeks for another time, which I really wanted to avoid.
Off I went to lend some cables for a jump start (I'll just call this plan A in later referrals), driving my gf's car which, despite of being french, had no problems with the cold. Got the cables, back to the house, connected cables ...
.. didn't work. The battery was too deeply frozen, despite furious attempts it just didn't work.
Plan B. Towing. This was more easily said than done. Connected the towing cables, but since our house is on a hill, and the layout of the road and relative positions of the cars, towing had to be started uphill. Which, on the icy ground, proved impossible. Too little friction under the tires.
Plan C: Pushing the car backwards downhill (there was no space to turn it around), to a flatter surface, where it can be towed. Now does this sound like a bad idea to anybody? If yes, probably because it is. The problem was that the way to the house makes a rather large curve, so the possibilities of a serious blunder were high indeed. But we decided to try.
We got the car moving, I jumped in to steer, started well, then it got slightly stuck in the snow bank. So I go get a shovel and start some serious shoveling. I turn the wheels to a good position, my gf jumps to steer. The plan is that I push the car loose, and when we get it out of the snow bank my gf steps on the brake and we plan the next move.
I push real hard and the car starts moving again. Only problem, my gf totally panics, turns the streering wheel a bit the wrong way and misses the brakes altogether. The car glides down some 8 meters and ends up in the big curve, totally stuck in a snow bank. the position of the car is now such that no cars can get past it from the road to the house or other way around. It is also such a position that we would need at least 5 full-grown men to push it uphill far enough to correct that small steering mistake and continue. A bit hard to recruit in a late sunday evening. It seemed unlikely that even a towing service could be able to get it out, purely because there was no way the tow truck could get past the car to pull it.
At this point I was feeling slightly annoyed.
So plan D. This was actually plan A again. We drove gf's car right above mine, and tried again with the cables. Didn't work now either. The annoyance was slowly changing into a more worried feeling. What if there was no way out of this, and we would starve in the house unable to leave it?
Then I noticed that I could actually get enough power from the gf's car battery with the cables to start the Webasto (this is a fuel-based additional engine heater) on my car. So I left the cables connected, my gf's cars engine running and the Webasto could keep on running. After 15 minutes, the engine and battery might be warm enough to manage start on the weak current from gf's car battery. This was, I guess, plan E.
Meanwhile I also called a friend of mine with more knowledge of these things. We drafted up plan F in case plan E wouldn't work. That plan would be getting some tools, removing the battery, bringing it inside to melt and after a few hours, retry plan A.
But to my astonishment, plan E worked! After 15 minutes of heating with the Webasto, the engine was warm enough to start. I drove the car straight to the garage.
General Winter had yielded under my stab hits, victory was mine!

Of the record : The fortress of Paris has once again been stormed by good old Prinz Eugen. This second war will be won, too, if nothing serious goes wrong in the next year.
I would however request.....that the GM edits a peace where France cedes Cologne to Austria and Piemonte to Venice. This I request in compensation of the 5 year early break of vassalage.
The warscore at present is + 70 percent. Thus these provinces can easily be demanded.
