india is starting to wonder if we will see any europian even tryng to compete atsea or can me & ear devide the world colonise between the 2 soon ?

have fun fighting ottos while us 2 take bites out of your cots/colonise

You overestimate the interest people have in Hyderabad. You've spent most of the game SPing, and so it's no surprise that you have a fleet that nobody can match. I think I speak for all the would be contenders when I say that the most desirable course of action will be to just ignore Hyderabad as much as possible. Let you have your silly wars and take what cots or colonies as you're able, until you've grabbed enough WS provinces as to be unable to push further, but beyond perfunctory obligations to defense, essentially pretend that India and SE Asia doesn't exist, because there's truly no point in making a show of actually competing with you. We would be expending money only to give you a way to validate all the time you've spent keeping to yourself, building up your ridiculous fleet, and I don't think anybody feels like ruining their chances to compete in the European theater just to give you a little satisfaction.

time to go beat some italian ass!

3 consecutive gangs on Ottos, seriously are u guys out of your mind? 3 gangs in 1session? seriously! have some respect.

So what? The purpose of gang is usually to weaken some nation to the level where it is no longer able to alone gang others. In case of this OE he still poses great ability to destroy combine Spain and Venice, so gangs continue.

And why am I in this gang? Nation who often cooperate with OE? Basicaly because Austria is doing nothing to OE. Usually Emperor is guarantee that Turks will not go after Spain or Italy, but in our game he is not, so France had to take his place. If I knew Austria will help Spain I would never turn against OE.

comparing with

[admiral drake]

redicilous fleet, no offense but 900ships isn't that redicilous and the galleys are shit anyway
its not my fault i got put in hyderabad, you can't expect to put me there then blaime me for playng sp with nobody arround xept ottos, i'm not placed there to satesfy your desire to keep ottos in chek and if alader wanted that he can play it himself next game

anyway since i'm basicle ignored from the looks of that, i consider any nap & treaty as non-existant from now with the europian mainland(exluding ottos) till they deside to stop ignoring me

Well I'm still here, so Drake will not have easy task , but in general I agree. Hyberdabad is too big to bother war with it. Especially when they are so far away. Maybe if England will change its tactics there will be some chance to compete with whale .

I think John meant "ingoring" in "not attacking" sense. At least this is what I understand.

i consider it a insult eitherway i'm not "worth" bothering with

 

[admiral drake]

and for the record since kj has been blaiming me before for playng sp half the game as hyd

i originally asked for
england
brandenburg
hyderabad
russia
in that order
so blaim alader for putting me in hyderabad when you know how i ussually play, this was bound to become a monster

 

[unmerged(49695)]

lets form a hyderabad, japan, ottos pact and fight all of europe.

 

[unmerged(98575)]

Brandenburg would like to announce that it is seceding from Europe. Brandenburg is now a South East Asian country, you Europeans are very crude people and I want nothing to do with you

ack now a insult from spain!
i'm not in a bad position tho, since i got all i wanted from spain, and i was not napped with france or russia. ahoi there hal

 

[unmerged(34338)]

If I knew Austria will help Spain I would never turn against OE.

Hard to believe, given the fact that France was in the very first gang against OE...the one after the session where OE attacked Austria to help France.

So your interpretation of the word 'never' is slightly different than mine

There was no insult in my post but ofcourse i still believe that Hyderabad is evil, almost as evil as eng. Oe is just to big and also somewhat evil but not much. Rest of countries didn't entered evil ways, yet. The Spanish inquisition will judge and execu...I mean will judge you fairly

You forgot how Venice kicked you out of Italy?

They did indeed but after few sessions, crime come under the statute of limitations.

 

[Aladar]

first of all edit that province in malasia, to the correct culture again, somebody did a mistake and changed it to wrong religion, so i wanted it fixed=P

Post id of the provinse and which religion to convert it too. Else it's likely not to be done or done wrong.

 

[Aladar]

Yeah yeah stop blaming me for having Hyderabad and Japan, everyone thought it worth trying when we started the campaign.

I believe we have all learned a lesson here, namely that asian nation are not to be played unless we are all playing them.

Also i believe that lowering nations techgroup was a good idea, to bad we forgot OE and i won't force the matter at this point.

That being said i think we've had a very fun campaign so far, much has been different from the usual mp games, so all in all id call this campaign a success so far.
