29 May 20 UTC Spring, 1300: (Gamer Nerd): Hello again
29 May 20 UTC Spring, 1300: (The Duke): Greetings!
29 May 20 UTC Spring, 1300: (DocSloppy): Hi! Gamer Nerd, I'm sorry I didn't stick with our alliance. I definitely think we could have been more productive if we stuck together, but like I said, I'd been burned before when relying too heavily on my neighbors. Let's see how this game goes.
29 May 20 UTC Spring, 1300: (The Duke): To be fair, DocSloppy/Aragon also betrayed me! I thought we had a nonaggression pact going in the early game until you stole LAN from me. lol

Honestly, there was one turn where I was basically beset by three enemies: England, Burgundy and Aragon. I just got lucky that Castile tried to invade Scotland and Aragon attacked Castile. Opened up a window for my to crush Burgundy and kick the English out of France.
29 May 20 UTC Spring, 1300: (Gamer Nerd): This map isn't the most balanced obviously, although that is the point. Burgundy can't survive unless the French player is very kind.
29 May 20 UTC Spring, 1300: (Behk): Yea, forcing me to divert naval forces gave France an opening and I was unable to exploit the inroads I had made in France. Almost the entirety of my military was fleets (wonderful advantage of an island) so full invasion wasn't a danger but it would have been a nuisance that dragged me down.

And balance... yea poor Burgundy. Requires a France with less experience and some pretty extraordinary negotiating to survive.
29 May 20 UTC Spring, 1300: Burgundy can do it if they ally with England and/or Aragon. I looked at some of the other games being played on this map and was surprised to see how often Burgundy outlasted France.
29 May 20 UTC Spring, 1300: But yeah, it's a challenge.
01 Jun 20 UTC Spring, 1302: Did not know I could build anywhere.
01 Jun 20 UTC Spring, 1302: On this mal
01 Jun 20 UTC Spring, 1302: Map*
02 Jun 20 UTC Spring, 1302: England exists on a nearly unassailable home base of power. You are backing the wrong side by helping them gain a strong foothold on the continent. You'll never be able to take the cost or England from them.
07 Jun 20 UTC Autumn, 1304: Invade me with conviction or move onto other targets. 4v1 is getting pretty old.
10 Jun 20 UTC Autumn, 1306: Good luck to whoever ends up winning, though I'm assuming you'll just all vote draw. I'd say it was fun, but it was thoroughly unpleasant from start to finish.
10 Jun 20 UTC Autumn, 1306: Well fought, France. Sorry you ended up being ganged up on.
11 Jun 20 UTC Are you three playing as a team to draw?
11 Jun 20 UTC I think it'll have to be a 4 way draw unless there is betrayal among the lesser nations because we don't have the naval power/access to take on Great Britain.
11 Jun 20 UTC GameMaster: Aragon voted for a Draw. If everyone votes Draw the game will end and the points are split equally among all the surviving players, regardless of how many supply centers each player has.
12 Jun 20 UTC Pretty sure I can hold everything but Normandy indefinitely.
12 Jun 20 UTC Kind lame to draw 4 ways on a 5 player map, but so be it.
