well nice, we never had any interactions with you. Only when prussia was neutral and russia and we were worried that prussia joins the other side we let you decide and you decided to stay neutral and we continued to not give a hello kitty about you anymore. And in that time Cid was already there. tbh without Cid we wouldn't even have cared back then probably.
No interactions? Sending us ultimatums isnt an interaction?
Atleast you are honest about not caring about Prussia, by the time KRAKE finally decided to help you against Russia, a week later you buggered off, hoping Russia would be too busy with KRAKE to punish you more than they did.

Decrease the gun pounder of the guns on the forts for shallow ports
- currently the 42pds cannons forts have equipped at shallow ports are too strong compared with shallow ships hull and mast strenght. the forts already shoot quite fast due to the many cannons they have and are also very accurate, leading to alot of masts falling off very easily. At certain ports like Morgan's Bluff practically all the points are covered by op forts, making such portbattles being favoured way too much towards the defender.
- A significant lowering of the pounders would improve the chances for the attacker but would still play a part in the portbattle in favour for the defender.

Make RvR clan based instead of nation based
-
Why current nation RvR doesnt work:
- As we have seen recently with Britian, nations can experience national disputes to even civil wars without a clear solution to it other than bullying away your internal enemy
- No defined alliance is possible, only 'hand-shake agreements', which can be too easily broken and lead to very easy backstabs and that sort of toxic diplomacy. Without alliances, smaller nations can be too easily stomped by the bigger. leading to the ultimate zerging by players from smaller nations to bigger nations.
- Gives the option to deny your enemy content by joining their nation, meaning they cant attack you anymore.
-
Why clan based:
- allows clans in the same nation to fight eachother. This eliminates the 'hiding under the same flag as your enemy' system we have now that some clans use.
- Will give a direct option for clans to solve national disputes between clans.
- will allow a good and working return of the alliance system. broaden the use of the clan alliance system and not only keep it in the nation, but also for clans in other nations. F.E: Clan X from France allies themselves with clan Y from Sweden. So returning the old alliance system, but without the flaws of stationary alliances (because you have many clans with changing motives and goals) and without the flawed voting system (could be with officers and diplos only in clan voting)
- Alliances would give smaller clan alliances/nations a chance to unite and fight the bigger clans alliances/nations together, leading to a more equal playing field.
- All in all, it will improve the diplomatic aspect of RvR in NA as well.

Looking at the part where you talk about Prussia, it doesnt really make sense, because you keep mistaking all of Prussia for KRAKE alone. 😄 It was only KRAKE, LI0NS and their Chinese alt clan who were at war with Russia, the remaining clans, RGK, TO, ROVER, PGP, werent. that makes quite a difference. that is the whole reason southern Prussian pbs werent contested because all these ports were either LI0NS, KRAKE or GHAN and these clans took us of the friend list.
Btw, LLAMA isnt the alt clan of KRAKE, its the new clan of KRAKE, main accounts of KRAKE have been moved to Russia.

Dear captains of the Caribbean!
The great Kingdom of Prussia has come to know difficult times! With the violent departure of major clans from our proud nation we are searching for every able captain to defend Prussian holdings in the Caribbean from many enemies!
And once in Prussia, which clan better to enlist than ROVER! SeaRovers enjoy a well known and established name on the seas. Primarily known for our love and specialisation in 6th and 7th rate ships, we scourge the Caribbean under our well know motto:
‘Death by a Thousand Cuts’
Now we invite you to be part of those thousand cuts by enlisting to our clan colours! And together, we shall aim to protect Prussia through Iron and Blood!

You are just making excuses to create content whilst staying out of the big fight. Bashing "dead" nations (Cid quote) must be fun. Bragging of filling pvp hunt missions in PB. Taking 1/3rd of a nation and declaring neutrality. The list is long.
But saying you want to kill another nation which has even screened for yours in the past? Low blow
I have my sources, you know them well.
Its no excuse, you mess with us, we mess with you. Today there were many Dutch screeners at Carupano and you decided to flip another Prussian port, doesnt seem very dead to me. I have said this a quazillion times now but we declared neutrality in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Sweden, I dont hear any Britian or VP in that sentence.
We have never said that we wanted to kill the VP and we are not planning on it either. If we do accidentaly some SNOW cleaning you wont hear me crying though.
Saying I know them well doesnt really narrow it down very much to be fair, but sure.

The main reason Prussia attacks the VP is not because of the ultimatum for PdE, but because the VP tried unsuccesfully to perform a coordinated attack with the British and Spanish empires against Prussia.
I dont want to repeat myself, so I will just qoute myself.
3 hours ago, Fury of the Northmen said:So when you send your diplos over saying "do this or else", at what point do you consider telling us that "or else" is already in action? Prussia can only ever reign supreme over smaller nations, cannot fight with the big ones. I heard time is up, neutrality ends soon
However I am intrigued why you think Prussia would stop being neutral in the conflict between Russia and Sweden. That would either mean Russia or Sweden attacks Prussia or Prussia attacks Russia or Sweden, and I sincerely doubt you have information about both of such situations.

So where is the neutrality in multiflipping Dutch AFTER they have agreed to your demand of Puerto de España handover? Too much a loss of face being outplayed?
Let it be known that when Prussians present an Ultimatum, they will go ahead and attack even when you comply.
Selling Dutch ports to RU alts is the new neutrality.
The main reason Prussia attacks the VP is not because of PdE, but because the VP tried unsuccesfully to perform a coordinated attack with the British and Spanish empires against Prussia. If you think we will not retaliate when direct attacks are made upon us, then there must really be something wrong with the Dutch council. I heard it had something to do with snow, weird this time of year! 🤔

If he bent the knee to Russia, wouldn’t that make him a Russian decoration? I mean SNOWflakes make great ornaments on Christmas trees, even Russia ones.
PS - Greg if you were to start calling me daddy...I’d be ok with it.
hmmm good question 🤔
perhaps VP is now a vassal of both Sweden and Russia

well oke, let's say it was against priv , and it was like a misunderstanding from the polish then to attack my fishing fleet.
but before the prussians even turned their eyes to guayara and even before that even more, the polish where our friends in battle and when they got their own ports they were left alone by the fishing fleet and did not attack them or throw fish at them.
we always let them pass. and never attacked them .
but now it all changed, polish in our waters have become a enemy what we didnt want in the first place.
they took the wrong fleet and fired the first shot.
now we must protect our fishing grounds .
sure.. we will forget old friends , and now ...for a reason....
it's called a treason,for absolutely no reason.
Well what are you going to do, take their ports? 😜

Lier says what now?
You call discord chats diplomatic talks? All I see is a Prussian clanleader asking what the requirements are for a nation to join the NATO, because it cant be attacking Russia apparently because the VP made peace with Russia, quite a joke imo.
Of course I cant speak for Cid, but I can tell that there are many Prussian council members who absolutely dont see Sweden as a potential ally

lol, no it doesn't. I'm surprised no-one let me know that I'd withdrawn us from NATO. Mind your own business
You're just upset that because we're in it we've stopped you getting in it.
You made peace with Russia, the main enemy of the NATO coalition, now you are just a decoration on Rediiis map with all his vassals.
And this whole Prussia wanting to join NATO business is complete overstated Dutch propaganda we Prussians have gotten used to by now. In thruth there have been no actual diplomatic talks between NATO and Prussia. And if anyone would be stopping Prussia joining NATO (which is not currently happening) it wouldnt be you stopping it, but Prussians like me and many others who prefer to keep the status quo, and if that is not possible, die with honour, over joining the zerg that has betrayed both friend and enemy.

excuse me.... what has priv has to do with this battle.
what i saw , where honorable polisch captains fighting to stay afloat.
never heard a word about priv and poles. having a argument in this battle .i even think they are friends because they (polish) >>> attacked us.
we just bobbed in front of our own harbor. looking at the horizon and just fishing.
we had some cannon practice and every time we fired the guns ,they were sailing in the way...accidents happen sometimes..
(polish) no hard feelings i hope.. 0.0
The pb that day was flipped by PRIV, so that was why they were screening there, not for us, but against PRIV is what I mean.

Allways nice to hear that im behind everything. Keep it up!
So you are saying the ultimatum wasnt your idea? I hope so for you, because it is quite a diplomatic joke, maybe even the biggest one yet imo.
If you want us to stop attacking your pet, maybe tell them to propose a peace offer, we are open to discuss anything. And you can promise them we wont post the peace offer on the forums just to flex that we won, unlike some other nation.

Can't blame them for being scared of the big dogs. They are happy to dish it out to a smaller nation, less so when it happens to them. In the context of the game, they are fearful of another New Orleans and running off to hide inside GB again
Nations have allies, part of the appeal of the game is the politics and diplomacy. Wanting to declare war but not wanting to join the wrong side. Wanting to hit somebodies friend, without any retaliation
Time to get off the fence
You dont get it either.
We dont fear the big dogs, the big dogs fear what we will do.
Like I said, if we join either side the other side will be in a big disadvantage.
We have chosen for not choosing a side as that is healthier for the game. And also on the long term it might break open this stupid two alliance/coalition system

Sometimes it's quite hard to keep in mind that this is just a game
You dont get it do you?
Would you prefer us taking sides and killing the other side? Because thats what is going to happen if we do choose a side, doesnt really matter which one. If this wasnt a game we probably would have done that already, but because it is a game we dont, because another zerg is not good for this game.
Also, in my whole opinion, this Swedish alliance vs Russias alliance is not good for the health of the game either

The Swedish ultimatum is a joke, Swedish should be happy we dont sent an ultimatum ourselves.
I bet you know what would be in that ultimatum

We're gonna keep attacking you.
Only reason this statement is here is because you got an ultimatum lol.
That's fine
But know, that any attack will be dealt with accordingly, with or without ultimatum

On the site I can read: 'mediterranean with its countries' does this include smaller states like the knights of Malta/Rhodes?
In the broader picture my question would be; what nation will be present in the game and what timeframe will the game take?

More interestingly: so do ROVERs still exist? Never met anymore.
Granted my preferences about ships I think I should be an honourary ROVER.
Yes we do! 😃 Z4ys, Sella and me are still up and running on the seas under the tag of ROVER, but we are also recruiting new members:

Where did the "little clans" touch you?
Perhaps they would have been more interested in helping you with your skirmishes against the Dutch and ultimatily the war with Russia, if you didnt already have such a reputation in Prussia like abandoning the nation, taking all the pride and excluding other (smaller) clans. Perhaps they would have been more willing to help if you were more honest and didnt just declare war on nations without discussing it in council meetings.
'oh yea guys we just made SdC neutral and will take Les Cayes, please come help'
'so guys we are at war with Russia now, good luck, I am going off'
And even still, I think those "little clans" were still quite willing to help you in your 'glorious' adventures, some pbs at Les Cayes were almost entirely RGK and other clans and Cumana was half RGK, just a few examples. But it was never enough.
And in the end you abandon Prussia again, after not being able to swallow your pride knowing you were wrong and we, "the little clans" were right.
