However, seeing they had 20 Danes show with only 3 of themselves, and a screening fleet of rats, we realized there was no point going into a PB completely outnumbered. It would've been a different story if it was for defense. So, we decided to accept a screen from the rat [BLACK]Nyurtle and his fleet ships....twice. heh. Image is of the second one. Awww come on ya'll could of gone in and gave it a good fight. We all ways show up with every one when out number and fight it. Believe me many a times we just wanted to say screw it and not show cause we knew we where out numbers. I was told ya'll had a good doze or more out side that just didn't enter. Sounding more and more like Dutch numbers are very much close to pirates when they don't have an alliance and help from others. While we don't support any wars south action, we will continue to support the Danes and New Swedes with there actions and screen port battles. Along with protection of the French if they are allowed to recover any more ports above Castries. Though I would be honest to say if they where to ask to have Windward we would support that and only that south of Castires and only for the French.= PS I'm not sure what fight it was in, but Nyurtle was doing a lot of bitching about the stupid "H" key when he was going into a board. yah fat fingeers strick again as I had that happen and than disabled it from that key. Others might want to change that key too before they end up doing the same. Edited January 22, 2017 by Sir Texas Sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) To be honest I wouldve gone in but nobody else was going to and then I just got caught in the screen battles. I only had my pre patch Inger so I was more than willing to lose a dura on that. And like I said in global good showing by the Danes to keep us from capping it.

I was meaning if we were defending, we would've shown up. But because we were attacking, there was no point in losing ships and officers. Plus, the PB was over while we were stuck in the second screening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a tip of my cap -- perhaps along with a one fingered salute -- to the Pirate who tagged and screened out all but one of us until around 30 minutes in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Try 13 vs 35+ with three nations. Kind see how it feels to be us when we are just trying to get regions we had taken from us. Would be nice if the nation that took them would just fight alone without help since they still have been out numbering us in port battles. Hell none of us are planing these screen. It's just who ever is on and is bored go get you some PvP. It's not like we get it any where else other than in shallows or around a few free ports. It gets kinda lonely and boreing out there at sea. We just trying to show our love.....with hugs from our cannons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not have been this situation at all if you were to get into alliance with Danes and Swedes. Danes would have North, Swedes North East, French South East and Dutch South. These territories have enough resources to share among 4 nations via 4 way circle alliance. Then, should have GB or US start bullying you, you would have had 2 nations to show up in your PBs, with pirates screening all over the map. But no, you decided that GB/US alliance wasn't enough to kill the server so you have joined them. I bet US are laughing right now at how you are taking the heat off them and all of a sudden fighting THEIR war. Well done you! You reap what you sow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again US gains while others loose. And that is a US/Brit Alliance port battle. Sure the Dutch can screen but it's not your PB. I see it the same as when US attacked France. They attack a weaker nation and than they don't return nothing. They just get bigger and bigger. Sooner or later they are going to run out of things to take and turn on the alliance.

Sir Texas Sir Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Basse-Terre Line Ship Port Battle - 11 Dutch vs 22 Swedes (5 Swedes 17 Danes). All but one fort was taken out by the three mortar brigs. There was several ships on the Dutch side that took hits from them too. Dutch took control of A from start. B had a small group of Swede/Dane (3 including one fire ship) that held the Dutch off until they had to escape. There was a good amount of fighting between C and A. I'm not sure how many fire ships was brought on either side, but there was a lot of 1st rates with little to no mast by the end of the fight. Swede/Danes won with 15-20 mins left on clock with 1000 cap points from control of two circles, but most of them where from sinking Dutch ships. Even with the out number Dutch put on a good fight until the end. Liked the good sports man at the end. We need to keep fights more like this. Keep it up guys and yes I'll stop bringing green ships and I did make a ranks off that port battle. Though my last part as you can see in the screen shot is the comments on the Dane side. "Vive La France." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axel Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 If someone can bring the Swedes to the table to make an actual agreement without having Benny back out immediately please do. On that day there can be peace between the Antilles nations until then there cant really be any sort of working together. I personally would like to not be allied to the largest nations in the server but if we need to defend ports from numbers larger than ours and screeners we should be able to have one as an ally. Or are the Dutch not allowed an alliance except to Spain? I am all for an alliance between Sweden, France, the Dutch and maybe even the Danes but thats not possible from the players in the nations (not just Sweden) currently as I see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dutch are trying to help the French. Never assumed a stable region. Too much of the Balkans. Going to see if the few reasonable Swedes such as RISE would be willing to go to France with compensation of course. Cause along with France RISE has suffered in Sweden for not agreeing to a few individuals within Sweden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neverdead Ned Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Perhaps the French can have the Windwards, Trinidad, and Orinoco? I understand the Pirates may be willing to give St Lucie/Castries up to the French or Swedes once we secure another silver source but it's going to stay off limits to the greedy Dutch, US, and Brits.
