Brandenburg accepts the King of France's offer.
Leopold of Austria, I would gladly accept your offer of trade. However, without assistance I fear that the Ottomans will soon over run my country. Please send assistance as soon as possible.
Pope, Transylvania has long defended Christian Europe from the Ottoman hordes. Many thousands of us have died fighting them. We ask you to rally the Christians of Europe to aid us in repelling them once more.
Gyorgy Rakoscki, Prince of Transylvania and the rightful king of Poland.
We are warning Austria and the HRE to stay out and not send any troops, or we will take action against Austria and her allies.
Sultan Mehmed IV
Message from his Holiness, the Pontif, Servant of the Servants of God, Alexander VII.
To the peoples of Europe: For over one hundred years, we have squabbled amonst ourselves, Christian against Christian. However, a new threat has risen to power. The evil hordes of the Islamic Ottomans now encroach upon the periphery of the civilized world. I urge all Christians to band together, and to aid the Transylvanians in their struggles against the barbarian hordes. We must protect the people following the word of God. I fear that if we do not stem the Islamic tide now, we may be too late to stop the muslims from overrunning Europe. They do not follow our laws, do not have our respect for humanity, do not recognize the divine right placed by God upon Monarchs, and threaten all of civilization. We cannot allow our own divisions to weaken us against the monsters that are the Ottomans. We must recapture the the lands taken by the Turks, liberate the souls who have been imprisoned, spiritually or otherwise, by the barbarians. 'Tis the divinely ordained duty of all Christians to defend the faith against the heathens, and to save the poor souls who have been forced under the heathen yoke already.
From the Court of Tsar Alexis
Pope Alexander VII we have our differences in faith. However, we are all Christians and I support your call and will work with all Christans to stop this tide from infringing further into Europe.
That is why I feel it is necessary for Austria and it's illustrious leader Leopold to to work with Russia and stop this invasion. Our two countries can coordinate a defence of Europe with the support of our other Christian neighbours.
We will work together with the Tzar Alexis of Russia, and all other nations to stop the heathens. We call on Russia,Sweden,Poland,Cossacks and all other countries to make peace now, so we can fight the Turks!
Leopold I of Austria
I, Jan II of Poland, support the Holy See in its statement against the Ottomans. This is a threat faced by all of Christendom which can no longer be ignored. As such, I would like to make a truce with the respective Lords of Russia and Sweden.Quote:

The Grand Pensionary
I, Johan de Witt, declare the Netherland's neutrality in this Crusade against the Ottomans. The United Provinces find no incentives at the moment in attacking our loyal customers of our goods. But my mind has not been set fully in this course of action, yet. Perhaps extended trading rights with other Christian nations and alliances with Sweden and Spain would help loosen the purse strings of the Netherland's treasury. If and only if these conditions are more or less met, then the Crusade may get the financial backing of the mighty Amsterdam Bank.
IC:
France for now takes a neutral stance in this war, but we ask, kindly, that the Ottoman Empire please stop all hostilities against France's Allys, namely Prussia and Austria. If you continue to be hostile, we may not take a neutral stance.
If Europe wishes to destroy itself, we will not, for now. France also wishes to remind the Ottoman Empire that we barely have to lift a finger to annihilate you. If you wish, you may continue to attack RUssia and Poland, but not Austria or Prussia.
Louis XIV, Duke of Bourbon, King of France, King of Navarre, Duke of Parma, Duke of Seville, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, King of the Two Sicilies

We are Asking Eurpoe to mind their own business. Austria,Prussia, and the rest of the countries here has no need in our interest in Transylvania. We do not want war with them, but if they demand it, we will give it to them!
Sultan Mehmed IV
Sun Tzu “All Warfare is based on deception”
The Year is 1660
Since 1658, the Ottomans have been expanding their reign over Eastern Europe, particularly in pacifying Wallachia, Moldova and Transylvania. This greatly concerns the young Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I. Not only does he have to worry about the Turkish threat, France also poses a small threat on the Empire’s western border,even though they are now allies. There is some concern about Louis XIV’s potentially growing influence in the German states. Leopold I may be able to call on a militia and the German States for Help in his potential threat in the east, but if Louis XIV’s influence keep growing in the german states, they may not aid him and he may soon have a war, not only on the east, but on his western front also. Transylvania is trying to fight against the Ottomans, but it seems the Ottomans may keep conquering towns in Wallachia,Moldova and Transylvania. Not Only that, Leopold I has to deal with Finacial Instabillty in his country. The 30 years war still has a effect on his treasury somewhat, and back taxes people own do not help matters much. Leopold I and his allies just need to get finacial backing from the Netherlands for things to go easiler
The Ottomans, Under Sultan Mehmed IV are expanding their Empire West, invading Transylvania,Moldova and Wallachia. Venice is still at War with Ottomans, with Muslims forces attacking the town of Candia, which been under siege for years now. The Ottomans are Now dealing with a crusade against them, but they have a large number of jansesseries avabile though.
The Papacy is trying to get Rome back to it's former glory, even though the city has only little more then 100,000 people. THe Papacy is condoning a Crusade that is taking place against the Ottomans. Poland,Austria,Russia,Prussia,Transylvania,Papacy are apart of this crusade so far.
Meanwhile in England, Colonel George Monck and his regiment crosses from Scotland to England at Coldstream and advances to London to support the English Restoration. Samuel Pepys also starts a diary of the events going on here in England. Their nation is Protestant, unlike their Catholic Processors.
In France, Louis XIV signed the Treaty of the Pyrenees a year before, in 1659, to end its war with Spain. They signed an alliance treaty with Leopold I of Austria/HRE, and are willing to trade with them. Even Though They are now allies with Austria/HRE, Tensions are still up in there in the German States. Although, Louis warned the Ottomans not to lauch a assault on the Austrians/Prussians, but he seems he does not care though if Poland/Russia gets assaulted by them.
Meanwhile, speaking of Russia/Poland, They signed a truce, so Russia is freed from fighintg Poland, they can deal with Ottomans and the Sweds if needed. The Kingdom of Prussia been granted autonomy by Leopold I of Austria, the HRE Leader. His country (Hohenzollerns is still on tense terms with Poland. The Swedish are still at war with Denmark,Prussia/Brandenburg and Russia, but they are still fighting on.
The Swiss became a independet country so to speak from the HRE in 1648. The countries around them are making allanices, but they have yet to make deals.

Good Emperor Leopold, I will offer the prussians amnesty from my fair country and leave your Noble Alliance to its business if you would support me against the Danes and their influence in the Northern lands.

Russia, I would like to ask for peace and leave you to fight the turks in the South. I am weary of war with your people and know the strength of your army. It is a messy conflict when our armies meet one destined to kill many noble men of Noble birth on both sides so I plead for peace

Hmmm... There was no Kingdom of Prussia at that time - if Brandenburg declares it is becomes one Poland would see it as declaration of war because legally speaking Kingdom of Prussia would be a successor of eutonic Order so would threaten Polish possessions in Pomerelia ( Danzig, Thorn/Torun etc.) called Royal Prussia at that time.
About the rest I won't speak, but the Ottomans, Poland and probably Russia have just commited suicide.:inquisitive:
People of Germany:
Please don't trust France words. They want power, they can have it. France is a threat for our nations. We had to gave some settlements because of the MURDERER that is Louis XIV.
Have a nice day
Carlos II
To the nations of Europe.
The peoples of the Swiss Confederation wish to make this statement.
That in the event of any war between the great powers of Europe we shall stay neutral and continue the trade of goods between the nations. We shall accept requests for loans from any country which needs them, if payment is not met, then our armies will.
We shall hire out regiments of our men to those we deem needing of their services.
We wish all nations to agree to thie proposal for the good of Europe.
Do not Worry, People of the Swiss Conferderation, we Will not invade you, or do any harm to you people! We will respect your Netrual stance. Spain, I understand Spain's concerns very well, along with Frederick's, but can we try to get along if possible without going to war?
Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor
To King Louis:
The matters of the German states are just that German matters, hardly any of your business. Alliance or not if you make any attempt in German affairs it will be met with stiff Prussian political and military resistance if necessary. We wish to continue our good relations with you, but if you force our hand we will not back down.
King Frederick William I of Prussia
To King Louis:
We also are demanding that Louis stay out of German Affrais. Also for the information of another nations,We will join in on the Crusade against the Turks.
German State of Bavaria
We are staying out of German Affairs, we are not invading Germany or anything. France is only guartening that if someone else meddles in the German States we will flatten them.
France wishes for Spain to stick their nose out of our buisness. We only have to remind you war would not be a good thing for you at this hour, we only have to remind you are the MURDERER. We do not war, but a peaceful Europe.
You, Carlos, are obviously the murderer, openly wanting war but accusing other nations of nonexsistant things. We also wish to warn Brandenburg off.
Louis XIV, Duke of Bourbon, King of France, King of Navarre, Duke of Parma, Duke of Seville, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, King of the Two Sicilies
warn me off?
We have been threatened with war, we do not take it lightly that Brandenburg wishes to throw aroudn such a threat so lightly. We are warning you off, to reduce the threat of war. Such a war would benefit none.
Only if you threaten the German states.
But we haven't, have we? In fact, we have done completely the opposite by guaranteing the continued exsistence of the German States. Why threaten US with War when you should be threatening nations like Spain who openly lust for war?
I said if you meddle in German affairs I would be resistant to you, if not then there will be no interference by me.
Remember, if you buy any Mercs from the Swiss, you have to tell me about it. I want to include them in the story of course :yes: .
Bopa, I got your PM, I'll look around for some good Books. I do have a god Samurai Ospey book I think it is, but I checky for Ospey Swiss Books also :yes:

The Swiss Confederation wishes to make this declaration.
We urge that all Europeans in an effort to expand our markets and increase profits turn all attention to the Barbarian Hordes of Osman. We must take the Islands of the Middle sea and make it a European trading zone.
We must gain control of the Egyptian canal way and thuse gain control of our own Indian and Oriental route.
The possibilities for wealth and trade are immense.
We would be willing to send a large well trained force to the command of any ruler who wuld take up these challnges along with a large yearly payment In purpose of guarenteeing us a large share in the profits.
THE SWISS
Sorry to meddle in a thing im not involved in i.e. this thread but I look around sometimes and had to react on this.Quote:
We must gain control of the Egyptian canal way and thuse gain control of our own Indian and Oriental route.
The landlocked Swiss are apparantly very enthusiastic about shipping through the Suez canal?? Or do you mean some other canal?? If Suez canal I dont think it existed at all either in the 17th or 18th century, maybe as a vision among some colonial/trading powers but hardly even that.
Kalle
Hey,
Remember, I need decsions by Friday (but I will push deadline by a few days if needed). I got alot of them expect for a few.
From the offices of the States General,
I, Johan de Witt, as Grand Pensionary of the United Provinces of the Netherlands and with the approval of the States General will sever trade rights with Norway and declare war on the Kingdom of Denmark. We will also recruit 2500 mercenaries for use in our war with the Danes.
I also acknowledges the Swiss Confederation's neutrality in all European conflicts and will honor their pledge. Although my nation would also want to acquire a shorter sea route to the Orient, I am still not able to declare war on the Ottomans, yet. However, perhaps the King of Spain can convince me otherwise.
King Carlos II of Spain, although our histories with one another have been filled with war and suffering on both sides, I would like to extend an offer of alliance to you and help guarantee the Spanish Netherland's independence from the greedy French monarchy's imperial crown. We would like to have a buffer zone between the French nation and ours and you, King Carlos, cannot afford the loss of your territories in the Netherlands for there are rumors that the riches of your New Spain colonies have begun to dissipate. Our previous reasons for dispute and war (the legitimacy of your rule in the Northern Netherlands and subsequent division of the area) has now become beneficial for my nation. We do not believe the French King's promise of a better and peaceful Europe. Have not anyone noticed how he relishes in declaring his ownerships of other lands and land he conquered from King Carlos II's father, (Philip IV)? Perhaps by peace, King Louie means to conquer all of Europe and establish a peace imposed by his imperial and despotic scepter and spread the blue and the fleur-de-lis across the continent.
On a final note, I feel your pain for our nation has also been damaged (by your grandfather and father, of course:beam: ), but we were able to rebuild and become a better nation. And with an alliance and trading rights with our country perhaps you will do the same also, King Carlos of Spain.
Johan de Witt
Grand Pensionary of the United Provinces of the Netherlands
We are sadded to see The United Netherlands and Sweden wanting us to renouce our claims over Norway, and Netherlands declaring war on us. We will defend our right to rule Norway and Denmark, and we will not listen to the Netherlands,or Sweden. We also will tell Leopold I of Austria/HRE to mind his own business.
King Frederick III, King of Denmark and King of Norway
Denmark. The time comes for you to decide what matters to you. Your pride or your life and those of your people? We Swedes accept any and every Danish soldier who leaves Freddrick like brothers. We are one people to be united together.
king Charles XI
Do what you believe is right but remember, you cannot win this war so why fight?
Johan de Witt,
I'm very grateful of your help in this matter. We can be allies. Unleash the army.
I can't wait to rename my part of France to Francia Hispana. France have to be taken down.
Transylvania is currently recruiting militiamen while we wait for our crusading allies to arrive and assist in lifting the siege of Varad. Godspeed to our Christian bretheran.
Gyorgi Rakosci II
Just Hold out Transylvania, We are rushing to your aid! We will not let the Ottomans take your freedom!
Leopold I of Austrian/Holy Roman Empire
The Swiss Confederation.
We once again urge the Rulers of Civilized nations from fighting one another, and instead turn their swords upon the Turks.
If I am correct, I still need decsions:
Swiss
English
Tranvyianla
I double check again though :yes:

A call for Louis XIV:
Your intentions of conquering our lands have been removed, and we have your soldiers, praying with mercy. They are scared, and they are waiting for your decition to save themselves. I'm willing to change the end of your country.
This lands were owned by the Spanish when the French people took to us, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franche-Comt%C3%A9
I publicy claim for this land, as it is ours. The fate of your people lies in your hand, Louis XIV The Murderer. Its your chance to save your people.
To the Swiss: We, the Spanish, understand that you want to stay our of any war. We will let you alone. We want some trade with your nation, is that possible?
This is not a call only for the Swiss. I'm interested in trading with all the countries who are interested on it.
Have a good day,
Carlos II de España
Carlos,
We also have your soldiers. The land you claim is mine, as I rightfully took it from your ahnds.
Carlos, why fight? You call me names, you claim names for conquests you dream of. Do I have to remind you? We have over 50 000 troops, veterans and experinced, against your 25 000 simple recruits. Can you not see the way this war leans?
(OOC: Are you sure that maps right? Its not near the Spanish Netherlands or Spain...)
I offer a deal, it is fair considering I could easily overwhelm you. After seeing a map of the provinces I took from you, I will gice them back, with the prisoners, if you give back the land you took and my prisoners. We shall also sign a alliance and trade treaty. What say you?
Be warned, I have at least 50 000 troops heading to Southern France...
Lous XIV,
Is this still active?
We can pretend to be active until Warman8 comes back in March 08, hopefully. Don't forget to send in your orders.
I know the 18th is the deadline for orders but they will not be followed up on till March because W8 is away till then?Quote:
