You never know. :P

Anyways, you have Germans and Danes to conquer now. :P
Actually, I have already conquered Denmark and taken some Novgorodian territories. Now Great Britain has declared war on me for reasons unknown and invaded Iceland and Orkney x|

See for yourself.

I haven't made any move to the south yet. I want to conquer Gotland and Livonia first, then grab a few German states along the coast of the North Sea.

Why, you wanna get rid of the Dutch?

Keep calm and move along.

Nah, I just think it'd be funny to conquer the Dutch...but strategy first, of course.

Don't know if Wise would appreciate that...but I think I'll do it anyway :P

Also, I meant the Baltic sea, not the North Sea. I'm not that good at naval geography...

Keep calm and move along.

Oh now you should definitely do it, for the sheer laughs. :P

Kinda knew what you meant. ;)

.... You're from Canada right?   I already defeated the English earlier so that isn't a problem.

In other news: when I make a screenshot with F12, nothing happens. So, you can't see the size of my empire yet....

But I have here a Picture of the battle of Middelburg, the French planned to take guyana from me, I took their part of it plus some other colonies.



You can see a whole list of sieges, I killed all the French before they could finish it and occupied ALL of northern france.
Superior tech is so much fun in this game, they went down with 2000 soldiers a day, while I only lost a couple of hundred soldiers...


(Yes, that's 16 warscore for a single battle)

The Baltic has to wait.


PS. I already have Greenland and Iceland, the invasion of Canada will be easy.  >:D

But you said England was conquered...so technically you prevented Canada's existence in the first place. :P

So I win either way.  :sorcerer:

I said Defeated, not conquered. I won a few wars but didn't take any serious amounts of land.

Well...that went badly. Britain just beat me, took half of Iceland, forced me to release Gotland as a nation just after I had conquered it and as salt upon the wounds, pay 500 ducats.

Revenge shall come cold and dark, like a fridge in the night >:(

Well, apparently not. I think I need to put more quality into my armies. Plus, they cut off my sea routes so I couldn't send reinforcements.

Not when they have their Navy at full power.

Which is the reason why historically they were so powerful.

Ah, that's annoying. I admit that I had to pull my European and Mediterranean together in order to make a succesfull landing on their shores. But after I had a few hundred thousand Indonasian conscripts on their precious island they came begging for a peace.

Historically the Dutch navy was superior for a long time.

Yeah, well the Netherlands doesn't exist for me yet. There's just Holland and Utrecht and all that stuff.

Only because they had the funds for such a navy. When England finally got their act together, they defeated the Dutch in the Third Anglo-Dutch War...I think.

At any rate, England rose when the Dutch began to decline.

And the Swedish Empire continues to grow. Lithuania squirmed amusingly as I crushed its military power under my boot.

I think I'll try to reach the Dutch next just to make Grif happy.

Is it possible to take South America? If so, get us. We'll go down easy. :P

If my geography is correct, it looks like you'll have to contend with Prussia first. :P

Its how it usually works. The rich nation can afford to hire or train a highly equipped professional military, more so than the less rich ones.
