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’

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.

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.

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.

@Make_It_Round:

@moilami:

Maybe we should just continue and default to no change in politics since not explicitly agreed on proposals?

If France gets Constantinopolis we only need to decide what we do with the rest of the Ottoman units.

If France does not get Constantinopolis, then we buy max defence stuff for Constantinopolis and see what happen next round?

Or are other people willing to play this game anymore?

I say we move forward with this proposal, and the game should finish up pretty soon one way or another.

I think that we could start recruiting for an 8-player as well, with the caveat that if they don’t make a play in 48 hours from the last post before them, their country’s forces are replaced by neutral pieces… That way the game won’t ‘hang’.

I agree with this, and I agree with every other proposal made.

Is someone dying here or what is the problem with slow game  :lol: And my deepest apologies if someone is dying.

I think Make_It_Round could be excellent Germany. As the most successfully aggressive player I know, he could really get those tanks rolling.

For me it is all the same what country I play, though for some reason I like to play Russia in WW2. Still I would prefer to roll a dice for a country rather than chose something.

Why you think 8 people FFA is hard? Hard to find players? In my opinion 5 players is too few players in FFA. 8 is more players and since I don’t care of balance in FFA, I could take the most sucky country and enjoy the game.

Or an MP game with predetermined sides :D Like Total World War :-D Or something very complex and big :D

While this game is jammed, who starts NE FFA8  :mrgreen:

Would be very cool to see the current standings after two rounds.

I don’t remember the exact number, but they have a fairly good chance. And The Lady Luck can be chaotic.

So, Ottomans dropped away in advance?

The game is not over. There is a chance for Ottomans to survive or at least live a few rounds.

The Republic is by all means not surprised of the recent policy change by Russians. The Republic was well aware of the true nature of Russia. Now that Russia has shown her ugly face to the public and declared war against peace and justice, The Republic will stand strong and do whatever is needed to cease the unjust onslaught of mongols, tatars and cossacks in Europe.

Everyone knows the fight will be hard and a lot of sacrifices have to be done. There will be no turning back in this fight between good and evil. However, there will be light in the end of the tunnel: one by one ancient lands of Europe shall be liberated from the ruski terror.

–Michel Ney, The Marshal of France, in his speech to the public

@pr0c3ss:

To aid Russia & to repay some exposed Austrian plans  :evil:

Ah, I see. Sympathy for the devil  :roll:

LOL xD

But there is no news for me in that people get emotional because of games, but it is always amusing  :-D

Good emotion has been around and not robotics.

Regarding politics, I need Ottoman’s reply to Austria about cease fire offer by Austria. I don’t need Ottomans to confirm your change in politics.

Can’t start combat. Need Ottoman’s answer to cease fire proposal from Austria.

By the way, in my opinion you can’t make threats to give all your cities away, even if you would not do it in the end. That is not politics. That is blackmailing to quit the game if people don’t do what you want. Dunno what other people think of this.

I was an idiot to go personal with you. Because of that I need a punishment. I will punish myself by playing with you again, if possible  :-D

Anyway, my apologies.

This has been a very GG, and this still definetly is a very GG.

No hard feelings  :mrgreen:

Starting combat without waiting for Ottoman politics.

Vive la Republique!

@Noll:

I dont get why you are moving things on the personal?

…

Take a look at what you wrote:

I uad enough to keep my war in Austria. The problem is that now I hqve to fight Austria to stop YOU from winning. If your lies of peace and whatever are real, propose ALLIANCE to Austria so that he gets back his territoties.

Otherwise the game is done and you are the (effortless) winner

/clap clap

And:

Let’s see, If I concede all my cities to UK, he will have 7 by this round…

You also in turn 1 blackmailed us to give all your territories to Austria.

What game rules say about that:

#3. No giving your capitol to a player. If your capital gets taken, and you have no chance to take it back for good, then you have have lost the game. Command your armies until they are no more, or ask to be replaced by an AI.

I am nowhere near “effortless winner”, and even if I would be, you should just accept it and not begin to talk a word how you give your cities to UK this time.

I am a very bad loser, but, sorry to say this, you win me in that by a huge margin.
