The Bonaparte Absence (AH RP/Reboot/OOC)

[Gadrana-Eshil]

I would like to make everyone aware that I want trade relations with European nations, and that my Foreign Legions, and the upcoming Portuguese Foreign Fleet will be acting not just as what they currently are, but also as for-hire mercenary forces ^_^ I hope that you guys will enjoy this.

Hm, well, our ships would be there in less than a week.

And, uhm, with my recent actions, regarding a certain large merchant fleet, and particular European trading company? Yeah, definitely a jab, and definitely godmodding, since I have counted the fleet in my own navy You can't seize a nation's merchant ships, when they put a focus on it, out of nowhere.

But there would still need to be some communication between Lisbon and Brazil, because Brazil can't act on its own. Or can it? Because then you might be giving too much autonomy to the colonies. As for transatlantic shipping: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/inde ... 052AAoBKdV

And merchant shipping. Merchant shipping in this day and age is largely unprotected. The age of piracy is over, and there haven't been any large wars for quite some time now. So, merchant shipping is usually quite safe. Like Wicky said, merchant ships belong to private companies, not to the state. So, they would be unprotected by soldiers or warships. Meaning that seizing them is quite easy to do, really.

We have armed merchant ships

By this next post, we'll have a fleet of 128 armed merchant ships ^_^

And hello, Commonwealth. I'm sorry about yesterday man, and I think we all let the game get to us. That shouldn't happen again :c

And thanks for the link, I'll read up on it ^_^

[Gadrana-Eshil]

I keep on forgetting that my ships are steam-powered... ;-; Probably gonna need to do some editing of my upcoming post.

Auchterland, here's a rough draft for a Sardinia-Savoy application.

Thanks a lot!

Hey, guys, would any of you like me to make events for your nations? ^_^ Some unique stuff for you, and responses to your actions? And remember to do more than stuff having to do with war, and the military. Do things with infrastructure, economy, education, agriculture, trade, alliances, government and state, on top of everything else ^_^

Additionally, I need a few events for my nation. I can't think of anything, except for stuff that directly correlates to my actions. There's nothing random, or surprising that I'd have to act promptly to like there is with Issues system in the game, meaning that I don't have anything separate from what I've posted. IRL, the nation would be responding to more than what actions you make, with all that goes on in their lives.

Event System Idea:

((The OP looked at the old one, and he didn't like it because it was too complex, but this isn't too complex, and it's already been applauded by the Co-OP/Acting OP of one of the best Nation roleplays in P2TM ^_^... so, that got me going. If you guys want something like this for your nation, say so, and I'll write something for you.))

A team of OPs, Co-OPs, and assistants create daily events in which a response is given to the actions of each nation, and faction, and they are told the result their actions have on the economy, general populace, military, government, relations with NPCs, and more, to avoid any godmodding, create a dynamic world, put us in a position where we don't have absolute control, and can actually make issues worse, aid in realism, and, generally, grant incredible benefits. So, for instance, if I create a new international academy, and open up enrollments before it is complete, you'd tell me how many people applied, and what effect it'd have on education, as well as how the general populace reacted. It doesn't have to literally be daily, but just a mass response, mostly short and sweet ((a paragraph per nation would be fine... it doesn't have to be massive)) for each nation, with the "world overview" being detailed as well. The world overview being the value of currency, how well the global economy is doing, what tensions exist between certain regions, what the impact on GLOBAL land, and economy is because of any wars, and an actual overview of major events.

What do you guys think?

[Gadrana-Eshil]

I wish I had someone that could properly teach me on how to wage war based on everything from intelligence (ICly, including spies, mixing of truths, et cetera), tactics and strategies, geography, geo-political situations, making the war more costly as it goes on (I know that you can use diplomacy to make a war more costly, alongside your economy, if you have a powerful one ^_^), arms and weapons, and more, to help me get a better grip on how things work in PT RPs.

I'd start with reading 'The Art of War', which delves into this subject, albeit superficially. I can give you a rundown.

That'd be nice.

Hmm, I also need another nation to help me to train my ground forces. Could France, or the UK do that? I think the French have pretty nice cavalry, and infantry, so would you be okay with that? ^_^ I also want to establish a section of semi-elite light, and heavy cavalry, combined with well-armed infantry, all with a unique name, and hand-picked from the normal forces :3 What do you think of that? I want to improve the power of my ground forces significantly.

[Federal States of Xathuecia]

I will only peace out to what was promised. You can still host a bunch of ships if you develop your core. And if you are guaranteed by the UK, I can convince them to retract that as you would kind of be supporting Russia's expansion. That could clear my invasion in which Sweden and I would take a lot more than what I'm asking.

as you would kind of be supporting Russia's expansion.

Uh-huuh, and I'm imagining you switching side to Austria and start attacking Prussia as well would help the Brits keep the status quo.

See mate, the reason me and Brits make an agreement in the first place IS because Russian expansion, especially her influence over Sweden. If they get too chummy with them, Russia encroachment over Europe, aside from the obvious Prussia cluster-hell would become wider and wider. Who said that some kind of agreement, like Russia bless Sweden attack me for Norway (or even help them, that's strategic as well) is for access for any warm water port Sweden have after that is impossible? This would not only disrupt the status quo Britain worked so hard to maintain, but a chance for Russia to become a colonial power as well, which is the worst scenario since keeping them out from Central Asia in the Great Game is hard enough.

If I peace out as fast as I can, not making any contact with Prussian army (which is faaar more important than their navy) become viable. The same army that would definitely needed to defend against Russia-Austria-Bavaria aggression, which then help the Britain and France winning this whole mess up. British navy also don't need to get down with mine, keeping it pristine for more strategic moves, like say blocking Russia in the Baltic sea, blocking off Black sea, or maybe just Dalmatia.

So in conclusion, NO. Britain literally have more motive to keep me out of war more than you and your Federation to gain more land. I already give you Holstein, for free! That's already should be more that you could ask. I will say it to you once again, you are the lesser partner of the Union. Whatever your ambition may be, it realisticly wouldn't be British priority unless it directly aligned with theirs.

How about this: In exchange for Norway proper, Holstein, and Schleswig, Denmark will receive Dutch South Africa, Pomerania and Northeast Brandenburg, and an indemnity of 3 million rigsdalers from Prussia. This gives you valuable land and a foothold for colonization. This will actually increase your population by almost 2x, as South Africa and Pomerania have a combined population of 3 million.

I really, really want to show you how loyal Denmark can be Austria, I really do. But do you know why Denmark was so loyal to France in the Napoleonic war? Norway. Norway isn't just land to Denmark, they fail as that since they're poor as hell. But what make it so precious to Denmark is that it's their brother, their husband, their favourite colony. It's like you asking the Union to just...let go Confederate states. It wouldn't realistically play out, it is part of them. If I really did this, my own subject going to revolt, and my monarch would die. It's like they sign their own resignation on being a monarch and alive, which definitely wouldn't happen especially in this AH.

IF Austria want to reconsider this and guarantee Norway as a sovereign part of Denmark. I may would take the offer to go to arms, but even if my play is colonialism but you won't guarantee it....I'm sorry. This is how loyal Denmark can be.

I propose this:

Denmark keeps control of all the ports within Norway and it is handed over to Sweden. They can administer those port cities how they like and Sweden administers what you called a whole bunch of mountains. Then the North German land is ceded to the Congress. Then Sweden & I stay out of the war and depending on how things, may or may not join against Prussia. But the agreement will say we won't attack Denmark, Bavaria, and Austria. Opinions?

When does the OP usually get on?

[Federal States of Xathuecia]

I would like to make everyone aware that I want trade relations with European nations, and that my Foreign Legions, and the upcoming Portuguese Foreign Fleet will be acting not just as what they currently are, but also as for-hire mercenary forces ^_^ I hope that you guys will enjoy this.

If you do this, I'll gladly pay them as my navy is fairly weak. Might help me get some ports in Africa/Asia (Would be open to British & Portuguese trading of course)

EDIT: The OP usually gets on later such as 5-8ish - I have seen him on randomly before then though.

It is bunch of mountain wasteland, sorry if you're norwegian btw, it's 1836 so no offense. But I already told you why Norway is matter so much to Denmark, beyond prestige, or land value. If you still insist on Norway, well the deal is off. Remember, if you're attaking me for Sweden behalf (since all the German land is yours), you will meet with Austrian forces, and even if you win agaisnt us, your most precious and strong ally would guarantee their support to me after the war.

I have Russia (towards the future) on much closer relations with Sweden and I. We are meeting in freakin' Russia (dramatic emphasis, not yelling) to discuss matters. I think Austria would be hesitant to join in on a war when Russia has a Hanoverian as the (future) queen. Let Sweden and I talk and we will discuss. But I think I'll accept as I'd rather not be completely destroyed by the Austrian forces. (Bavaria and you could be beaten a bit but with Austria, there is no way)

See, even you followed along with the Russian cult, Brits have all the reason to support us now. But yes, thank you for accepting it in my terms.

No accepting yet, leaning towards. Sweden might say something that might change my mind. But I only allied Russia as they are my bid from protecting myself from Austrian hostility. I hope I can still maintain the current status quo with the UK but their army is not exactly a guarantee as it takes them a long time to actually invade continental Europe.

True but that by no means they're useless. In few weeks or months,UK would have arrived and save you, no matter who the enemy because it's UK.

EDIT: Britain I already wrote a long IC post abput our agreement but it would have to wait till tomorrow...in my timezone at least. So it would be great if you didn't post anything about it just yet.

True but not before the Austrians & Bavarian could have attacked the Congress, ravaged the land, and used their forces (with a sword to the throat) and convinced some states or even Hanover to disband the Congress or vassalize them. They are incredibly strong and I'll offer them the status of an observer in the Congress.

BTW, in a few years (5 probably), the Congress will elect a familiar face as their Speaker of the Free Congress - Guess who?

Hey, guys, would any of you like me to make events for your nations? ^_^ Some unique stuff for you, and responses to your actions? And remember to do more than stuff having to do with war, and the military. Do things with infrastructure, economy, education, agriculture, trade, alliances, government and state, on top of everything else ^_^

Additionally, I need a few events for my nation. I can't think of anything, except for stuff that directly correlates to my actions.

I am good at stories/events. In another RP (ask Bavaria), that was my main job. I enjoy it and partly the reason I take Journalism classes. I'm unsure about this though - have you discussed it with the OP?

Not yet. He didn't like my last idea, since it was too complex, but this one is better explained, and explains how it's not too complex. I honestly think that he needs a Co-OP, and a few assistants, because he doesn't seem to have enough time.

In addition, I need the map updated e_e Like, badly. Very badly x3

He's the op. If he decides he needs co-ops he will chose some.
Update the map yourself. No one is going to want to do it for you, obviously thr OP doesn't have time to meet your every whim either.
