Re: Colonize and Conquer III: Imperial Dream

[Flagmauth]

The rebels, realizing that they need to gain more popular support, spread out into the surrounding farmlands, seizing the lands of Spaniards and redistributing them to the native-born Aztec-Mexicans and in some cases to the black inhabitants who were former slaves.

[99luftballons]

Sweden likes the idea of annexing Norway, but Prussia wants some new territory as well. Prussia demands Schleswig-Holstein provinces.

France doesn't need British currently (of course Brits are welcome to help). However France is willing to relinquish its claim on Maine and Newfoundland which both Britain and France claim. In return France wants Britain to renounce its claim to the Hudson Bay area.

The Iriqoui Confederacy has been formed. It asks for a defensive pact with Britain.

The Spanish Cuban HQ sends the ammassed force in Veracruz towards the Aztlan capital.

[Flagmauth]

The Aztecs continue to spread throughout the countryside. It becomes clear that the so-called "Aztecs" really aren't the resurgent Mexica city-states; they have support from areas well outside the control of the old Triple Alliance such as Tlaxcala, and the old Aztec pantheon is well and truly gone. The only thing they are doing to identify themselves with the old peoples is to call themselves Aztecs and to speak in a derivation of Nahuatl.

[99luftballons]

The British officers arrive ahead of the Spanish army in Technochtitlan.

The Spanish army is a day's march from the capital. Reports say that they have a handful of cannons and the majority of the army is made up of gun men. The Guns that they are using are outdated heavily.

[Flagmauth]

The Aztecs take the news and act on it. Within hours of the news reaching them, the Aztecs launch an attack on the Spanish army's flank; they fade into the countryside when the Spaniards regroup to face them. They repeat this several times, always striking and then disappearing before the Spanish army can bring its superior discipline to bear, cutting down on the army's strength with each ambush and generally making an effort to decrease morale.

[gaara]

Britian immediately stats showing the Aztecs how to bulid and defend forts against different kind of attacks and showing them how to use the guns they brought and the guns the they got from the dead spanish.

[99luftballons]

The Spanish army responds by clumping together its men into larger troops to sweep the countryside. Anyone who stands up to them is brutally killed.

[Frenchie]

The French King Louis XIV issues a Alliance Treaty with Great Britain and asks the British (If Britain takes the previous deal PG. 3) to assist in the training of the French Navy. France prepares Infantry, cavalry and artillery to march upon Austria, the French King also choses to reinforce the Eastern Border of France. The French Navy also decides to patrol near the Spanish's Border on the look-out for any of the Austrian Navy.

[99luftballons]

Austrian troops managed beat the French to Zurich, fortifying the city with a large army. Austria is meanwhile entering negotiations with Venice, to lend them a navy to help keep Austrian ports safe.

Austria also sends an envoy to Britain to get the British on their side or at least out of the war. Austria tells the British that it would be beneficial for Britain to capture Lousiana and Canada...
------------
Prussia and the German States form a trade alliance. Austria seems reluctant to join it.
------------
After repeated bombardment of Copenhagen and Aarhus, the Danish have surrounded. The allies have drafted a peace treaty as following:
I. Denmark cedes Norway to Sweden
II. Prussia is given Schleswig-Holstein
III. Britain, Sweden and Prussia get docking rights in Iceland
IV. Denmark is responsible for all the war expenditures of the allies (Britain, Prussia and Sweden) until the ratification of the treaty
Prussia and Sweden think it is a good treaty and are waiting for the British to accept/reject.
------------
Meanwhile the Poles have captured the Prussian province of Danzig. On the Prussian/Polish border the Prussians are getting pushed back by the sheer size of the Polish army. Prussia asks its allies for assistance. Sweden has declined because it is holding onto the Baltic states.

[Flagmauth]

The Aztecs continue to be a thorn in the side of the Spanish forces. It helps that the Spanish aren't winning themselves any friends with their newly draconian methods.

[99luftballons]

Spanish troops are burning down smaller villages in frustration of the hit & run tactics of the rebels. The brunt of the army is rapidly approaching the capital.

[gaara]

Britain agrees on all terms on a war packed with Sweden and Prussia but would like to add that the British get control of the Danish land in Africa and there capital Copenhagen.

And Britian starts on the Louisiana project as we'll and try's to beat France to it.

Also Britain tells France that it will side with them and give them troops, that if it takes control of Spain then they must give land to the Rebals in Mexico and set there people free also France must remove its claim to Maine and new Finland without Britian removing its claim to the Hudson Bay and must return the capturd commander that Spain capturd.

Also Britian tells Austria that is will side with them and give them troops, that if it takes control of Spain then they must give land to the Rebals in Mexico and set there people free also Austria must become Allies with Britian Sweden and Prussia also it must openly trade with Britian Prussia and Sweden plus help them fight the polish also Austria must return the capturd commander that Spain capturd.

And if both country's agree to the terms then Britian will pick the highest bidder.

Also Britian ask Sweden that if it can help them retake the Baltic states then will it help Prussia fight the polish.

[99luftballons]

Sweden points out to the British that Denmark has absolutely no land in Africa and that Copenhagen should belong to the Danes (It is also in the Swedish sphere of influence). If Britain wants land, it can have Iceland, but Sweden and Prussia retain their docking rights.
----------------
Austria agrees to all the British terms for alliance.
----------------
Spanish troops position themselves around the Aztlan capital as in the picture above. Division 1 seems to be moving north some more.

[Frenchie]

France Agrees with the terms, and adds to it by declaring that France will ally with the British (And allies) and will help fight the Polish (And will openly trade), as long Britain and her allies do not side with Austria.

The French King decides to start trading with and expanding influence in Asia as well.
A French Army is on route to Zurich, and will begin to dig in shortly upon arrival.

[99luftballons]

The Austrian army hears reports of the arrival of the French. The Austrians begin to heavily fortify Zurich in anticipation.
--------
Also, the Swedes colonize modern day Oregon/Washington.

[A Blind Guy]

meanwhile in Portugal, monarch John Iv sends a small fleet of ships to assist the revolt in Mexico against Spain.

[99luftballons]

Spain replies by sending a letter to Portugal. The letter consists mainly of choice words ending with a warning: don't help the rebels or else we'll declare war.

Spain is assembling an army in Seville.
------------
The Ottoman Empire meanwhile has annexed Oman. Now the Ottoman Empire controls virtually the entire Middle East except Persia.
------------
As the Prussians are getting beaten back by the Poles, Bavarian troops join in to help their fellow German state. Sweden is not helping fighting the Poles instead opting to fortify the Baltic States.

In Stockholm the new treaty with Denmark is as follows
I. Denmark is to cede Norway to the Swedish Empire.
II. Denmark is to cede Schleswig and Holstein to the Kingdom of Prussia.
III. Denmark is to cede Iceland to Great Britain.
IV. All allied nations have docking rights in annexed territories and those remaining under the Danish crown.
V. Denmark is responsible of the allies war debt until the signing of this treaty. 
Prussia and Sweden have signed the new treaty and are waiting for the British to sign.
-------------
Also, in Britain, the steam engine is invented (a crappy pre-industrial one. Hence there is no industrial revolution yet, but soon).

[Flagmauth]

The rebels lay down a withering barrage of fire on the Spanish when they venture onto the bridges, keeping in cover at all times.

[99luftballons]

The good news for the Spanish: They'd sent a small troop. The bad news: the soldiers were armored. That combined with falling into the water is not exactly a healthy combination. 

The first division moves north plundering what villages it finds in the process. The second division is meanwhile stationing itself just short of the bridge and readying its canons to fire on the city. The third division consisting mainly of cavalry is starting with an initial assault towards the enemy gate.

[Frenchie]

France encourages its surplus of citizens to colonize the frontier, as well as joining the military struggle against Austria. France also looks at colonization options in South America.

[gaara]

Britia agrees to the terms with the war packed and starts putting a small army and fort on Iceland.

Also Britian sides with France and says that it cant train there navy but sends 2000 soldiers to Paris instead for Fance to use and sends 2000 more to Prussia to do the same.

Britian aslo sends a letter to Bavaria thanking them for there help in the war and asks to start trade rights.

[Frenchie]

French troops take place near Zurich, and begin to dig in, Artillery fire soon rains upon the city. The siege of Zurich has begun. France warns Vienna that any interference with the Austrian/French war will have serious repercussions. The British Infantry (Loaned Infantry) begins to march to the Eastern Front.

[Sirius Lupin]

The Russians begin their colonization of Alaska as the Czar makes a new law stating that every able-bodied man above the age of 18 must be enlisted in the army.

[99luftballons]

Louisiana is slowly turning into a bustling colony, producing wool, furs, sugar and food for France. New Orleans in particular is turning into one of France's largest cities.

The French explorers find that almost all of South America has been colonized. The head of the French expedition has heard rumors of a successful Swedish colony in the Northwest Territories (modern day Washington state) and also of a vast amount of unclaimed lands in Africa as well as Asia...

Sweden is meanwhile also seeking to expand its trade routes to France and Portugal, asking for trade agreements.
---------
The combination of British, Bavarian and Prussian soldiers is enough to turn the tide of war against Poland.
---------
Austria realizes that agains the two strongest powers it can't really do much except stall. Austria tries to avoid conflict by sending a peace deal to avoid heavy bloodshed (on both sides):
I. France will be able to inherit the Spanish throne (Frenchie, you can control Spain via the king. I will handle the reactions of the Spanish people)
II. France's king for Spain will be entitled to all the American Colonies
III. Austria will gain the rest of the Spanish possessions (Spanish Italy, Spanish Philippines and a few random islands in the Atlantic)

[Frenchie]

The French King accepts the peace treaty, and as first act as king of Spain, Relinquishes much of the land in Mexico according to the alliance treaty with the UK. Louis asks for explorers to begin to explore (And colonize if possible) Asia, as well as parts of Africa. Louis also asks the Louisiana territories to utilize militia and start making defenses for their cities.

Also according to the treaty France sends 3000 Soldiers to help with the Prussian/Polish war.
