Lytse Pier Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Let me clarify. I'm not complaining or blaiming our loss on anything being unfair. Misshaps will occur from time to time. Sweden might still be more skilled in tactics but the dutch are superior in industrial capacity and can afford to attack again and again, waiting for the swedish fleet to have these freak occurances happen all of a sudden. And then - BAM! Swedish fleet needs to be on top our game EVEY battle to stand chance and that wont happen. As yesterdays battle showed. Well spoken Tretton! However, we are a merchant nation and there is more than one way to secure resources, other than fighting over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thonar Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I just heard that the Dutch community is divided between a part that wants peace and a part that wants to finish this war with a one-port-end.Please people, do me a favor, do not go the way of Sweden and divide your nation by such a stupid dispute. Stick together! The war was funny so far and we should keep it that way. with best regards Thonar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rectunator Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Peace? But La Blanquilla and St. George's are still in Swedish hands? How can there be peace when Börk Börks hold our islands (that we rightfully captured before)? But war until a single port end? No thank you. No-one deserves that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bougainville Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 A one-port end? The leg to the north might be a bit tight on the clock, but quite a feat if you guys manage it. It even might incite the devs to implement achievements per faction, who knows... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neith Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I just heard that the Dutch community is divided between a part that wants peace and a part that wants to finish this war with a one-port-end. This is not true. After situation with France, we are much more experienced and much, much more organized as nation like we were before it happened. So don't worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sweden continue the hostilities, I'm sure the Dutch nation, the Dutch Consortium, its admiralties and free merchant captains will remain united in defending our common national interests and take all necessary measures to reduce the impact on our trade.

It even might incite the devs to implement achievements per faction, who knows... They managed to do that once already. But it was hairy ^^ (As far as I know...I was in the south at the time, so limited to watching the timers). It was a good night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dala Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 i Think its safe to say that we wont give up st george since we need the resorces it gives. and la blanquilla for live oak. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugo van Grojt Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) A three port end, then, Dala! Make ready the leeward cannons, double time! Edited April 4, 2016 by Hugo van Grojt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galileus Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 A three port end, then, Dala! Make ready the leeward cannons, double time! Im sorry, I wasn't paying attention, are you guys giving out ports?

Vaan De Vries Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I would rather have peace with Swedes already and find more interesting war. For the last two days there was almost no PB or big OW battles. Cause with current mechanics 25 mercs vs 25 merc + 3 towers - it's very hard for defender to lose. And in deep water PB it's also very hard to achieve needed BR rating when even fleet enter the battle. So both nation commandors don't wanna lose ships for small chance of winning port and people just sit and wait in these ports. Maybe we can have a peace already OR at least schedule an OW battle (either in throw-away 3rd rates or even in the best ships) in between PB timers? Have out own private Trafalgar. Cause now the only thing I can do to have some PVP is TP to Island harbor with guys from CAP and BEARS and raid near Gustavia waiting for 20 guys gather near the battle to hit us when we come out. This is all my opinion. Of course that's all for nation councils to decide where we will battle tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lytse Pier Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Without the surrender of La Blanquilla and Saint George's back again to the Dutch by the Swedish, the status quo has not yet been achieved to formalize anything, I'm afraid. I'm sure however that the end of this war is for the fearing, the survivors and the uninvolved to see *when* it happens in due time, not *if* it happens in due time.

But we have to buy a flag first right? No battles occured for 2 days, which is shameful for us. Still many people being involved in fighting pesky pirates near Coquibacoa. We probably need another punch below the waist which resulted in the insane mobilization effort last weekend. PS: Common Swedes, give us a fight, we are too lazy to sail anywhere. Come to Macanao.

And I belived that you might be happy. I mean didn't you switched to pirates? Thus if the Dutch are going back to farming Missions, they are way easier for you to engage and to cap. Aren't you the new "Wolf" of Coquibacoa? Than that would be in your favor! See ya on the seven seas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hyena. Because of the laughter. I do prey on some Dutch, but most are out of harm's way.

We will take those ports back as they belonged to us. Just a matter of time. Maybe you should look for a trade agreement with us? Or perhaps admit defeat, then rent those ports from us for a set price per week? That would appeal to the dutch as merchants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
