Read the railroad thread. I can give you a railroad from Stockholm to where Finland begins around that gulf there as your freebee railway, but your free railroad doesn't increase IP. You could make your own railroad from there to St. Petersburg, this would raise IP. I'd say Finland's IP would go up 7 points and whatever province St. Petersburg would go up about 3. So your total IP would go up 10 points, but this railroad wouldn't build instantly, it would take time and tie up some IP. Especially because Finland is harsh terrian for laying rail.

EDIT: Once you finish your factbook you can begin RP, then you can make invasions. After that you can attack some parts of South Africa, just know the natives there are VERY hostile, someone would need to RP the Zulus fighting you.

Mussleburgh, its better to put railroads between places that DONT have water access. St. Petersburg and Moscow would be a good one, or between Moscow and the Black Sea.
In fact, I'd make it a priority to link the Black Sea and Baltic via railroad. You'd make a ton of money from the trade boost that would bring.

Problem 1: I only commited about half of it to the battle on the hill and a third to the capture of the city
Problem 2: As explained, you're suicidial Cavalry charge would have inflicted far more losses on your troops than mine. My troops would barely have a scratch.
Problem 3: The Standard tactic of the time is to blow the living hell out of your walls until they collapse (and if they are traditional Indian Walls, that wouldn't be long) Followed by an elite charge through it and the gates once they had been battered down. Although losses in the Forlorn Hope would be heavy, a gap would have pierced that was big enough to overwhelm what was left

Just what I think, although you can ignore it if you want, but I think 25% casualties would be steep considering.

I thought the same but I was hoping to get a lot of casualties from you because it was supposed to be a monumental battle and just turned out as an average one. How about 10%?
Dontgonearthere
30-08-2007, 19:32
As Alversia notes, cavalry charges at this point in history from the front against prepared troops would be suicidal. Accurate rifles, fast reloading and bayonettes, plus grapeshot and shells from cannons would tear apart any charging cavalry forces faster than you could say 'light brigade', a horse is basically a big target at this point.
The best way of dealing with infantry ready to take a cavalry charge is cannons, explosive shells (which were commonplace by now) would devastate infantry in close formation.
Alversia's loses would be minimal, whereas the cavalry would suffer HEAVILY.

Hey guys, I linked the main thread below, you can find a map there. Prussia is taken. If you do join you MUST have a factbook within the next two to three days and you MUST be online AT LEAST once every other day. If you don't think you can do this, this isn't for you. I've had to kick four people already. On the map you'll see an orange country, that space is up for claims, the guy who used to be there hasn't been on in over a week. One of you needs to take their place so that transition will go well. Sorry to be so restrictive but you guys are joining very late. You must claim a homeland in Eurasia or Africa north of the equator. After that you can claim some overseas colonies, the rest of the world is still as it was in 1492. I will post the rules because they are very different than most other RPs. Also there is a list of inventions that are in and out somewhere on the thread I'm linking, look it over.

The North of Italy maybe, or a Bulgarian Empire (take some of the Balklands)? Some players are considering assaulting there, but there should be little reason for you not taking it.

That would be ENOURMOSLY expensive, and I doubt your people would be happy with that. My own colonization of california on that massive scale was made possible by a) Taking over China, which despite being ass-backwards at this point was still INSANELY rich and b) The unique mindset of the Japanese, combined with the unique mindset of the Chinese.
Few Europeans, especially at this point, are going to just say, "Oh? We're being sent to some barren island in the middle of the Pacific with no particularly valuable resources (to us) and its a three month trip at sea and a lot of us are going to die in transit? Sign me up!"
5,000 ships is also excessive.
10,000 colonists at most, and that would be expensive, unless you use convicts and such, in which case your colony wouldnt be very productive and wouldnt grow due to a lack of women.

Sure I suppose. Look at the trading post/rest stops Bredford and I have in South Africa.

I'll be easy going since they're just trading posts, so you can have them pretty far off. If they were colonies you'd need proper supply lines to reach them. By the way, your French designed navy is done now. Check your factbook's second page for details. I suggest we call it "The Fleet of Goodwill" or something that promotes unity and peace between our two nations.

I think it's part of Belarus and possible the Ukraine as well. Though I have my eye on Romania as well though, but that's more of a drawn out or bloody war due to it's size.

Haha. Okay, I can probably give you Quebec in a little while. But you need a colony in between Morrocco and Australia as a supply line.

EDIT: And when you can, post about your conquest of Quebec, you need to RP it a bit. I'll go easy though since you're away.

Is Guizhou the province with Hong Kong, Canton, and Macau in it? Because, as you will learn at our conference, I'm claiming the whole province in which those cities are built.

All I want out of this conference is the start of the beginning of my dream...German Indochina. Basically, Vietnam, Southern Thailand and Cambodia are targets and all I aim for in Asia. Anyway, I'll be expanding up to and into Bangkok soonish. It'll be a quite long conquest.

Damn, you can't take everywhere ;). I'm sure the whole world is marked for Alversian expansion but it's not going to happen (:p). Sometimes you just have to give over to your allies, and I truly think this should be one of those times.

If that is so then historically the first should be launched from a British shipyard. And I'm not talking about Devastation style turrets, I'm talking more Captain style turrets

Either that, or Alversia, you can take the North if you want (I need the South for it to connect to Cambodia and Thailand) and I'll take the South, and then we can fight off Bedford if he decides Burma isn't nice enough...maybe it's time to use our alliance effectively.
