If @Eboue had only shown a bit more interest he could've had France by now and we could have dominated Europe together. Seems he only likes to complain about the world instead of dominating it to change things. Now we have a strange Danish, German, Dutch, Belgium mix state, heard he even became emperor. I'm sure they're running on the noble estate. That's what you get.

RedSky is allied to Solius the Destroyer and his sidekick BD, so I don't think Eboue had much of an opportunity.

Well, @P-Nut took a few nice provinces, but we'll see if he gets to keep them. @altodevil wants Llundain (soon to be called London), and @Welsh Wonder is still allied to P-Nut. @Crackers is too, which seems like a spectacularly bad decision on his part. If he knows what's good for him he'll stay on his island and hope nobody shows up. On the other side there's @Abizzz, @Andycoleno9 and @Eboue, which is a bit too much.

Okay the war ended, and the only changes were that @altodevil grew significantly in Britain. @P-Nut managed to hold on to his provinces, and @Crackers remains unmolested. They may actually have done him a favour, since they forced him to abandon his alliance with Welsh Wonder.

Okay none of you are at war right now (Except OP trying to conquer Asia, but he's always trying to conquer some continent or other), so I'll do a stats/map update for the current year (1668) a bit later today.

He wouldn't dare attack me. He'd get crushed and be stranded on an island like Crackers.

Ideas (these are basically upgrades you can take that come in Administrative, Diplomatic and Military, using the currency generated (generally) by the skills of your ruler. They're one way of measuring how well you're doing that doesn't necessarily relate directly to your number of provinces or the size of your armies. If you're conquering a lot you'll probably use a lot of Administrative power on making the new provinces cores, so maybe won't have as much to spend on new ideas)

Everyone is at 35, except:

33: Walrus
30: Wing Attack Plan R
28: Shakesey (he's still here)

Religious Map of Europe (click to expand)



Beyond Europe (click!)





I added a world map. I really recommend expanding that one. Note: some areas are uncolonizable (such as most of the Sahara, as you can see, or parts of Siberia, Amazon, etc). If someone colonizes are large enough part around that area, the game colours the rest in as well. That can be seen with BD in Africa, and Organic Potatoes' colonies in South America, etc.

I need to go for somewhere like Japan. Or most of the US still looks up for grabs.

There's a non-zero chance @RedSky is unable to keep his American colonies for the rest of the game. At least Floride, which is basically the Thirteen Colonies, isn't looking to happy. If you don't do something stupid like help him suppress them, you might be able to conquer them later. Japan is also possible. Stuff gets really conquer'y in not too long.

Also all of India and China are still entirely unclaimed.

Do my eyes deceive me or do I have a little colony somewhere around Suriname?

Oof that's bad. I was going to ask what their liberty % was. :nervous:

Colonial revolts can be pretty destabilising. As Nimic said, other players can support rival colonial powers into declaring independence. But even if Redsky's colonies don't revolt and only remain restless, they can refuse to support you militarily. Neighbouring AI countries can sense this and if a large % of Redsky's overall army count comes from the colonies.. then they'll smell blood in the water.

Keep your Mel Gibsons happy!

Wow. The longstanding alliance between @BD, @Solius and @RedSky, that has been there since almost day one, is over. And how else would it end than because of the Pope? RedSky wants to take Avignon from the Pope, who BD probably allied for that Catholic cred. What a shake-up!

Hopefully they all kill each other

We need to take Mali and move south to pounce on BD while they’re occupied.
