Debt-Man, Debt-Man. Does whatever a man in debt can. Spins a debt, any size. Catches Dutchmen - just like flies. Look out! Here comes the Debt-Man!

So...for the non-participants in this European War, have you all put down your bets? Haha. Who are all of you betting on?

[The Nexerus]

First the Ottomans sent paper ships at me, and now they've resorted to just throwing literal pieces of paper.

[bigscreech]

I'm betting on the Prussians and Russians steam rolling through Austria and the Ottomans. While the Western Front is a gridlock with the coastal Cities burn thanks to the combined fleets of Britan and France.

"Here Sultan, can you hold on to my money? No I won't charge interest. Pay me back whenever, I just got tired of seeing all this money sitting around. Take good care of it, y'hear?" --Helpful Ottoman Creditor

At least they're not part of the CONFEDERATION OF STUPID.

I'm betting on that the Ottoman's paper ships will be set on fire by the Prussia and the Netherlands while Austria's army is crush by Prussia and the German states (Austria's side) would fall.

I second this insightful analysis!

@Boerd, our good Ottoman creditors are simply brilliant ;) they facilitate all Ottoman purchases and garner of Ottoman debt. If you ever need to break records, they're happy to help!

In truth I'm betting on the Allies. But I think we will have people drop from the war before it is over.

[So Boerd]

Anyone who gives out a 0% interest loan over 50 bucks probably is part of the Confederation of Stupid.

[bigscreech]

Sorry Ottomans and Austria but I just see the combined armies of Prussia and Russia being to much for you at this point. Although you could try to turn your front into a gridlock and out last them while you guys lay waste to the Italy Greece and Spain.

To expand on this, it's mostly because of their navy. Land war is gonna last a longtime, but France and UR have blue water fleets.

You guys give out 0% interest loans? You have my attention.

As an outsider with no real knowledge of what's happening beyond that there is a war and you guys like to fight a lot: I have to say my virtual, imaginary money is on the Prussian side. For two reasons, mainly. One, Prussia's history of ass-kicking in war is well-known. Two, Russia. They have a lot of people to throw at the opposing side.

Austria's side does have the UK, though, which means they own the seas. Greece is especially fucked given how the Ottomans and Austrians probably own the Mediterranean and definitely the Adriatic (unless the Italians can match them, which I doubt). Not to mention whatever support the UK can lend.

It's actually a pretty even match, to be honest. But Russia's population is TOO DAMN HIGH.

[Pasta Sentient]

It's really going to depend a lot on how long Austria can last/if Britain or France can push through on the land. France also has spain to worry about in the south. :/

No one said anything, so I was starting ton think they were going unappreciated. Nice to see someone likes them! They are fun to make, especially considering there is no pressure in regards to how well they are drawn. As someone with zero artistic skill, it's nice to be able to draw something without worrying about it being a masterpiece.

Rare: Nice one!
