This week's Power Ratings:
1. Prussia 1
2. Russia 2
3. Ottomans 4
4. France 3
5. Naples 6
6. Spain 9
7. Sweden 5
8. Algeria 10
9. England 8
10. Bavaria 11
11. Austria 7
Austria's a bot now after only making a couple of moves; this is most annoying as it seriously screws up play balance. I was hoping everyone would play this baby out. The three minors (Naples, Spain, Sweden) are extremely close.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungYou're down to three provinces and failed to bring my army to battle. You must be aiming pretty low if you think you could have done worse. Your days are numbered, King George. It's a simple matter of attrition now. The Franco-Spanish alliance will outspend you 3 to 1, or more. At least we're guarenteed a few big battles to wow the audience.
Turn #7 is in. England could have done worse I suppose.
Taunt of the year goes to: King Joachim of Naples! LOL.
EDIT - How did things go in the Med? I haven't been keeping careful track.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungNo there isn't. France IS the world. And I am France.

Edit: Who would waste their time allying themselves with you? Austria?
Originally posted by AThousandYoungWhen they invent trans-Atlantic flight then I'll start to worry, but I don't think they'll be arriving by ship anytime soon.
Now that we've crushed all revolt in the rest of the world, our colonies in America, India, etc. are all sending forces. They just aren't here yet. When they get here you'll be in BIG TROUBLE!
Originally posted by rwingettSpeaking of Austria, I've nicked a province off them which isn't shown on the map. The struggling kingdom of Naples needs all the land it can get.
