Renegade Dragoons destroyed in the Swamps outside Charleston, and the ships they came in sunk off the Harbour.

Recent disputes with our Dutch allies () have escalated nastily. A small English fort has been constructed overlooking the defences of Nieuw Amsterdam, in case this cannot be resolved diplomatically.

(Chris, I built this fort by mistake, and now cannot pillage it, as we are allied. I could re-play the turn, of course, but I don't like to do that. Besides, you may be up for a little war...??? It certainly seems the others aren't, and you must be quite powerful now. If you don't want a little skirmish or two, just say and we will ignore the fort or I will replay my turn...)

It's just a little fort, who cares?

And why would I want a war?

Ok I know I will be getting democracy next turn, and I know by experience that I will b given the option to change govts when I do (despite the fact that govt changing isn't allowed).
What I am asking is, if I want, am I allowed to do so (I'm not really sure I want too but...)


Other than that, nothing to report, all is well

Change if you want to, is my vote, Henrik. But we all have to be in agreement. What do you say, guys?

No war, Chris...?

OK, I will have to find another reason to keep breathing...

I will probably not play this evening, but will do so tomorrow for sure.

Next time John, we should play a warlike scenario, with maybe Less units.

I tried to avoid war all game, Holland as a Republic is really hamstrung with that in war. (and everything else)

...such a bad rep I have...




Steve, if you read the earlier thead (not sure if it was on CFC or here, this game has moved from home-to-home over the years!) you will see that I was arguing with Spain over the ownership of a few bananas, and got into a full scale war (which was cool) then got bounced by Henrik's French, who had a secret alliance with Spain. My ally Holland stood on the sidelines while I got my a*** royally kicked! (Although Chris was very helpful in the peace negotiations.)

Plymouth and Exeter fell in short order, and my Musketeers were routed all over the board. That was when I learnt (it was my first PBEM) that attack units are given extra bonuses (for some dumb and undocumented reason ) in MP Civ.

Hence Colonies 3.2, where the musketeers are more useful, and there are no Ambassadors.

That's typical me, btw. If I don't like a result - I change the rules!

yup, after the bananas affair this game has been a bit tasteless (we need a croissant conflict, a pudding assault or a tomatoe revolution )

You see, we DO need a war! Trouble is, the scenario is a bit too balanced with 4 players. Colonies IV will address this too...

Anyway, to break the deadlock, England declares war on France.

I only chose France because I am allied to the Dutch (and they won't be provoked!) and Spain is a bit far away right now, with my Caribbean possessions all lost in the last war. Nothing personal Henrik. France will be the toughest opponent anyway I should think.

I have made no (successful) diplomacy to prepare for this, and you may all want to declare war on me and wipe me out as a rogue state! Fair enough. However, I HOPE you will either sit it out or take sides equally, whichever way you think would be more fun.

I have taken no hostile action against France yet, except to build forts outside Quebec and Tinconderoga. The one outside Quebec will probably be plundered away anyway, as I find I don't have enough units in position to defend them both properly. (You see, I have hardly prepared in depth for this - it was Manolo's comment that set me off!)

Oh, and I've taken the native settlement of Montagnais, and renamed it New Brunswick.

Have fun, guys - and don't expect Plymouth and Exeter to fall so easily this time....
