  • I have taken back Berlin. The French, as my Allies, cannot take it from me. Thus, the Russians–if their intentions are as pure as they claim they are–should back off, as the French cannot win.

    Russia is attempting to pressure us into war with the French. This will not happen; the French have always been our faithful and staunch allies, in a sea of traitors and opportunists. The Ottomans and Russians would do well to accept my call for a ceasefire, and to find other ways to give expression to their foreign policies than to rape and murder on Austrian soil.


  • The Republic is willing to negotiate of a cease fire with the Ottoman Empire with the following terms:

    1. Ottomans Declare immediatly a war to Russia.
    2. Ottomans open borders with the Republic, so that the Republic can sail to the Black Sea and destroy Russian navy hiding in there.

    The Republic is looking forward to fruitful co-operation with Ottomans in military operations against treacherous cossacks.


  • @moilami:

    Lol, found a terrible bug accidentally.

    I changed my mind with after combat move in Serbia. I DLed the save I posted, edited the changes, and then reposted the save. Now, those edits I made does not show in any logs! Meaning people could easily try to cheat without anyone noticing it.

    The procedure is as follows:

    1. Make all your moves but don’t post them to the forum.
    2. Save the game to your computer.
    3. Load the game you just saved to your computer.
    4. Edit whatever you want.
    5. Post the save you edited to the forum.

    And no edits will be shown on logs.

    They will still show in history tho


  • Being in no position to negotiate, the Ottomans will do as requested…
    Ottomans Declare immediately a war to Russia.
    Ottomans open borders with the Republic, so that the Republic can sail to the Black Sea and destroy Russian navy hiding in there.

  • Guys you cant go from war to open borders

  • Process please build very defensively (like fortress). Even if they’re trying to force you vs me I’ll still come to the resque.


  • Not sure if I want to play FFA5 anymore. The England is in my opinion in a ridiculous position in it. It is the only nation who is not more or less forced to fight against someone. So, it can just keep building a ridiculous Navy and pick neutrals and random nations from Sweden, Africa, or Spain. So, the end game is guaranteed for England without problems, and depending on how long the continent is fighting against eaach other England will be more or less unstoppable.

    The other thing on England’s side is Navy Bombardment. Free shots each turn against coastal areas, and when England is the one to become OP because of the Navy it always builds, there is just no sense. The least to do to fix this could be to allow bombardment from coastal fortresses to the sea. That is also what happens in real.

    In FFA8 I have understood what UK does is engulf slowly but surely Spain and then become unbeatable.

    UK has other problems tho.

    You cant rival his Navy but he will never have an impact in Europe.

    PS: in my last game I was France and UK was very aggressive on me. Spain was mine tho’


  • Austria: I will give Berlin back when you stop the open border with France. Otherwise he can stage his troops there.

    Why should England care of central/western europe, when they can go to Sweden, Africa, and Spain? The only reason for them to care of Europe is to make sure France can’t expand anywhere, that is harass France and expand in power all the time while doing it. The only way to hold England is to give France a chance to hold England, and if the ways to end game are defined like that, there is not much point in playing this map.

    This game I of course will finish, but I am definelty not interested of FFA5 anymore. The map is broken in my very harsh opinion.

    Pfft, look at what it costs to France to go to Spain by land  :roll:

    I think the lack of aeroplanes unbalances this map beyond ridiculousnes. England=Navy become totally OP, which is even more annoying because Navy did not play that major role in real in NW.



  • Don’t have that much time to watch it. I may do it later though.

    I am not saying I am absolutely right. I am just very suspicious of this, and might want to try to play as England to see how it goes.

    Anyway, gief aeroplanes or fortresses bombarding navy, else broken.


  • Try playing Russia if you think France is weak :/
