    For one, I am mutually allied with Austria-Hungary, thus completing the Germanic Union with the exception of Belgium of course. I also have a non-aggression pact with Sweden, considering a few things.

    What are your relations with the Great Bear?

    Sour, he has invaded Poland and I am retaliating. We are not directly at war, but I am trying to prevent him taking over vital Polish land.

    Another interesting thing is that Poland's actually a country. At the time it was divided between Germany, Russia and Austria-Hungary. I wonder why it's independent?

    This isn't exactly a historically accurate game.

    Incidentally, there is a "map" which has historically accurate "borders". Not sure about the land, 'cause, you know, Malta and all that stuff isn't there, the islands in the Baltic aren't their own provinces... It's not really supposed to be accurate, they sacrificed that for it's gameplay.

    I haven't noticed Sweden do anything either. Karakoran's silence is unnerving.

    I don't think he's inactive, he's definitely into the game and I've spoken with him a couple of times.

    Really? The last thing I saw him do was take control over Scandinavia.

    Yes... And since then, I have had a few chats with him.

    He's doing pretty much the same thing I know you're doing. Which is absolutely nothing.

    War?
    We don't speak anymore of war.

    Fascinating. However, I have a paranoid fear that one day I will find a massive Swedish army on my doorstep, to conquer Britain. I'm not sure why, maybe it's just because he's apparently got the best military, and is dangerously close to my Isles.

    You're just pissing your pants about a Viking invasion.

    Anyway, that "Best military" is all bullshit. In no way will we be able to determine who has the best military force in the game until we can produce a sizable force of mechanized regiments, such as tanks, artillery and battleships. You know, since you're an island nation, you are better off placing your troops at the edge of the roads to the coast, just before they initiate an embarking process to go onto water. That way, you can intercept troops that are disembarking, and troops that are disembarking are at roughly 1/4th their strength, so they will be absolutely slaughtered by an inferior force.

    Edit: Putting this in the RP thread as well.

    Either way,if Karakoran does declare war, the throne to Scandinavia is mine, by right. All those that deny that are my foes.

    I'm disappointed in you.

    Actually, the Baltic sea is pretty important to me, and would jeopardize my naval superiority if an untrustworthy nation were to reside in the area, such as yourself.

    I cannot allow this.

    I'm not saying you have no right to attack Sweden, I'm saying I'm gonna' help whup your ass if you do.

    I will only attack Sweden if they declare war on any nation in my alliance.

    And I refuse to allow you to occupy Sweden, meaning I will protect them.

    That's fine if you do, but you really should stick to defense.

    This is inconceivable. Are you sure you're not confusing non-aggression pact for a defensive alliance?
