[scottishranger]

Id love to take Sweden John.

[Beskar]

I am going to make Riga my new capital!

[Double A]

Austria, Prussia, and (to a lesser extent) Bohemia are the German countries.

[johnhughthom]

Prussia aren't included, I was talking more about the smaller states in what makes up modern Germany, so Bohemia and Austria wouldn't really count.

[Csargo]

Austria, Prussia, and (to a lesser extent) Bohemia are the German countries.

The Kingdom of Prussia did not exist until 1701. Brandenburg-Prussia did exist but militarily played a very small role other than being trampled by the larger countries until Frederick William I came to power around 1640 I believe. He had some amazing victories against Sweden towards the end of the war.

This area of history is not really my strongpoint, was Germany in this period still a hodgepodge of small states? I guess you haven't included them to make things abit simpler?

Yes for the most part. There were a few larger ones

Well it wasn't much different from Brandenburg-Prussia other than in name(Kingdom of Prussia) and the leaders title(went from elector to King)

Cheers Ichigo, I love old maps. Doesn't look quite as fragmented as the start of a game of EU. Is the House of Austria the Hapsburgs?

[Double A]

I think we should have a poll on the faction you hate the most.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Shh let it be a surprise.

Also, if I lose this war, I still had fun this game because I got to give a Frenchman a vicious taunting.

I enjoy irony.

[Subotan]

For your sake, I hope you're right.

I can't see the composition of those armies, only the dwindling number of lavender hexes on the map.

Don't worry, he isn't

Oh by the way, is there a mod for M2TW which has the 30 Years Old factions in?

There is one mod about the English Civil War -> For King or Country: The English Civil War
There are units similar to the ones in the Thirty Years War.

Also, I would've sent those reports yesterday but when I finally had some spare time the Org was down

So, this time I will send them to you.

[Askthepizzaguy]

friendly reminder-

I need my update PM from last round so I can make decisions for the next round.

Cheers, that would be great. Could you change my faction I-K?

Will you be using any methods to try to ensure we ally at least semi-historically, or will we have free reign to ally with whoever we like? I guess religion would be a method to keep historical alliances. Sorry for all the questions, you've just given us a game with little idea how it actually works! I'll wait for our "tome of I-K's gaming genius" if I have any other queries.
