Far be it for me to criticize your "strategy", but if you felt your fleet was a liability you could have at least sent your warships into battle and inflicted some losses on your enemies.
It might seem like a valiant act to you, but losing 64gold+ fleet (the one in Cumbria) at the odds of inflicting an 1/8th of that on you is pure idiocy. I'd take the extra cash any day.

If you intend to win, you'll make sure they don't achieve the necessary province-gold by the only way possible – taking it for yourself.
There is no solution for your supposed "catch-22"; any single member of the Alliance who changed sides would have the same problem. Your side has the same problem, but as you are losing you don't seem to be too concerned about it.
I predict that your prediction is wrong as no member of the Alliance can logically benefit from turning on any of the others.

The benefit is that by turning on the rest they don't immediately stand to lose.

Spain tried to move an army into Thuringia; didn't quite work out. Alliance troops overran almost all of Iberia. The Ottomans quit. Alliance forces are moving on Italy and the forces in Southern Germany from all directions.
Nice try, King Joachim, but it looks like you're on your own.

Originally posted by rwingettYou could speed things up by loading up a bunch of troops on your inaccurately named "Victory class" flagships and having them blown out of the water so the Alliance could waltz in and take England. As it is now, any two members of the Alliance are still at least 118 Gold province value from the 640 needed to declare victory. I'd say that's doable in 3-5 more turns. So just sit and sulk on your island, Nappy; it'll soon be over.
