Russia doesnt like that France is nearly as rich as them so Russia is willing to pay 5k to anyone thats willing to permanently Blockade them
So jealous.Russia doesnt like that France is nearly as rich as them so Russia is willing to pay 5k to anyone thats willing to permanently Blockade them
Why is edict de nantes considered a poor decision to take?
It seems the ottomans have paid quite the price for stepping on many toes while making no friends. I wouldn't be surprised if they jump Austria in your next mega-war. If they don't, I'm sure that that will only happen with some serious concessions from Austria.
Regardless of these setbacks, the ottomans are still the biggest economy around. Even if they are no longer super dominant, they are not a force to be trifled with.
Oh, and as to Elcyion's proposed anti-French deal, well, jealousy isn't attractive, even if I understand your reasoning. If I were in your position, I'd be more concerned with the powers closer to home, Prussia Austria and The Ottomans. The French won't threaten you until long after the Germans are dead.
if they Switch to Reformed with theyr country either protestant or Catholic that is its -3 rr and 30% more tax then having same Religion
With this, wouldn't the Ottoman be inclined to go against Austria when they go back to war against you? He seems too big to be reduced to irrelevance by the end of your NAP, after all.
Edit : Is that Prussia in Sweden?

That was a big blow to Ottoman ambitions - the problems of remaining politically aloof are clear to see. Sounds like you needed this session, the French have gone through not only a recovery but a resurgance at least in terms on income. Great stuff Pewt, really enjoying this AAR.
Russia isent worried a bit about Prussia-OE-Austria due to the player skills involved its better to focus on Keeping Pewt down then any of its current Neighbours.... Plus Pewt is a megolamaniac that has to be Stopped.... hes Evil... Hes the Devil.... He doesnt give out free Cookies.... He Suported Ron Paul.... He dresses in Womens Clothing... Hes in reality a Communist... He gives money to Al Quaida... He sells Slaves to Africa... He Supports the removal of the bill of rights....

Indeed, this seems like a viable tool for the Ottomans as well. If there are any players out there who are concerned about the expansion of Austria and the continual power of Italy, I could see a well placed bribe or two help bring the Ottomans out of the gutter. if they could make their three-on-one curbstomps into a multi-front war, they would stand a lot better chance, I think.
Would a Spanish-British-Turkish navy be able to beat a Dutch-Italian-Austrian navy? they could avoid the worst parts of the invasion, which seem to be the Turk's long Mediterranean coast line. if they could concentrate the enemies on their eastern and western borders, it would be much better than trying to defend their entire coast line. (If I'm interfering too much, just tell me.)
I am going to try to get another nap with GB by giving him stuff, though idk if he will accept any deal. Spain doesn't have many cores in iberia since most of it was sold to me after the first 2 wars. Also I don't think GB and Spain could defeat me on land.If i were Spain id try to ally with Britian against Italy in order to kick them out of the americas and maybe reclaim the lost homeland, im sure Britian would want to get back at Italy. Ottomans are now paying for their overextension and i cant see anyone rushing to help them in the near future.
