    If you wish, I could control Russia for you until you get back.

    Two things...

    Firstly, You don't have to use one of your orders for upgrades.
    Just mention that you want to "upgrade your barracks" below your orders.

    Secondly, I must explain sieges.

    1) You need siege artillery before you can siege or attack fort/city.
    2) You must use "Bombard fort/city" command
    3) After that you can attack settlement.

    Strength of the Fort is 5 and strength of the city is 2.
    Siege battles are fought on these maps:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Fort


    City

    Green shows the location of settlement cannons(their strength) that "Bombard" command destroys.
    Although cities have larger green areas this only shows the breach in the wall that "Bombard" command creates.
    As you can see it's much easier to defend forts than cities.
    Players should remember that their troops will be under enemy artillery fire from the start of the battle and the fewer those cannons they have the easier it's to capture the settlement.
    You can also just siege enemy fort/city by mentioning that when you send your orders.
    Players can't recruit anything from sieged settlements(add units into it's garrison).

    Hope this helps little bit.

    No, since they don't have walls protecting them from land attacks.

    EDIT: So, that means we have 4 wars going!
    Ottoman-Austrian, French-Swiss, Spanish-French and Swedish-Spanish wars.

    I was talking about the part where ports don't have land walls. Makes me glad most of my ports are next to cities.


    the Sweden/Spanish war was bland and totally expected. How the Swede's plan on getting to you will be interesting however.....

    He can always take a page out of my book and come from an unexpected direction. I recommend the Swedes attack by way of Alexandria, Egypt. The Spanish would never expect such a move.

    If anyone remembers a Turkish army on jihad against France storming the beaches of Normandy after arriving from the North Sea by way of the Baltic sea, that's a signature Askthepizzaguy maneuver. I recommend we see some of that. The only problem is everyone can see your movements.

    Such a shame. I was going to invade Russia by sending an invasion force west. It would have taken a long time, but they would not have seen it coming.

    No, I dont think I am going to get involved in this little war. got better things to do. Sorry. Although..... if the two of you were to bid on rights to the English channel I would not be able to turn down a good deal. (sorry Sweden, you are the ones who did not want to ally. I have little diplomatic contact with either of you. which makes this a perfect situation for me.)

    Haha np.

    And besides, my stated objectives were to harrass your shipping. I certainly dont plan on invading Spain. Im merely supporting my ally France.

    To do that he'd have to fight off my navy on my turf (Millitarily suicidal) or attack the ports of my trading partners (Political Suicide).

    It is only three. Spanish joined the war on the Swiss side.

    If he wanted to join the war in support of Switzerland then he should have said that. Currently I take it as a separate war.

    I created "The Thirty Years War" social group for the players.

    I hope this keeps spam like posts away from this thread. Also, I'll try to post a FAQ there soon.. just to make it much easier for you to play the game.
