Austria did what I do best, namely hyperteching
I'm sorry if I make the game stagnate a bit, its just that I'm reluctant to attack OE with the stupid mughals funding them and if necessary joining in
As it stands now they are just a pool for extra MP, money and troops for OE. I really hope Pibe will spice things up soon and attacks OE or something. If he does that, I will not intervene
Btw, Austria now has higher income then Spain. Perhaps I should fund you Engel? :rofl:
Is it a joke that my spanish sense of humour cannot understand?
I believe that the Mughal empire is making his own policies and that the OE only receive help from his brothers in faith of I.Mughal in the war against Spain, Austria and Portugal (see apendix
for some objetive data about this war). This don't mean that our relations aren't good or that we don't have similar enemies. In a similar way We could analyze the paper of Spain in the previous Austria-Oto war: Is it only for me or Spain only was a pool for extra MP and leaders, money and troops for Austria? (In the firsts two was only money). The funny thing is that I also think the enemies of the habsburg could spice thing up dowing the habsburgs or something in order than they have not all their eyes fixed in the Oto and only hyperteching. If they don't do that I could tell them that the infra 8 and trade 8 boy will massacrate all of them in the next future.
Moreover, we can estimated that the OE is a great power. But Austria is a great power and his candidates to being enemies are a little impoverished. Do you see a France that have 60 of less MP and two hundred of less ducads/month? Poland and BB don't arrive at the 100 top mark of ducads month, etc.
We agree, Oto is too much powerful, but I can add: Austria is too much powerful and he is sorrounded with not as powerful countries and helped with some moneylenders and forces wanting to help too (see that the only people that have the CRT of OE are the allies of habsburg....).
Appendix: Relative forces of the OE and the habsburg coalition (economic and manpower and ships data) in the OE+Mughal vs Spain-Austria-Portugal before the war (seeing the stats in the end of the previous session 1573):
OE: 238 ducads/months and 193 MP pool 228 ships (join galleys and warships)
Austria: 121 ducads and 151 MP and 54ships
Spain: 277 ducads and 141 MP and 311 ships
Porto: 177 ducads and 22 MP and 135 ships
If we do a simple sum we'll have:
238 vs 575 ducads/months (the yearly it can be calculated too and then the picture could be embarrasing...)
193 vs 314 of MP
228 ships vs 500 ships
(And I don't wanna talk about the leaders...)
We can add then the Mughal.... 144 $, 188 MP and 0 ships in the battlefield
And see that Mughal balanced the forces.
