I foresee this war being a blood bath on land but on the sea I can see it be very lopsided thanks to the Royal Navy.

And the French Navy... But I do seem to remember Italy making some massive purchases before...

If you consider Italy's purchase to be massive, what word would you use to describe the Ottoman purchase?

Imperial would be my personal preference. Everyone else?

That's going to become an in-game meme for whenever someone makes a ridiculously massive purchase that ends up boosting their economy (in this case, their steel industry) and it shall be called an "Ottoman purchase"

Like it matters as the combined fleets of Britan and France are going to wreck your coastal cities and destroy your guys trade.

Country-crippling, investor-repelling, etc.

The CSA needs an Ottoman purchase of troops, but it doesn't exactly work that way...

Strictly speaking, those are two words each.

Our PM alliance names are way better. The Mega Friends and the Confederation of Stupid sound way cooler than the Alliance and the Coalition. :P

Midnight. I'm off. With luck, a mini tomorrow.

I guess you could say I acquired a word debt, then. Spent twice as much as I made. Anything 41 words or less would've outdone you on that part, though.

The Eighth Coalition is a funny name if you know where it comes from.

There, there. No need to get jealous because I have more debt than you. It takes training and effort, but if yoyou work as hard as me, you too can have an Ottoman debt! Keep working at it kid!

Water under the bridge. I don't care about the really nice creditors anymore.

Hmm??

[So Boerd]

Correct. We are coalition 8.

Yes. It's an allusion to the Napoleonic Wars. The Netherlands is battling the French to preserve the Dutch character of the Lowlands against conquer-minded Frenchmen, just as it did against Napoleon.

Nevermind! Got it!

Louis Philippe is our Napoleon.
