Turn 112/AKA where do we stand - part 3
Atleast our military will be well trained by the next French-Spanish war. This turn we purchase Cavalry Feriocity.
Finally let us sum up the peace settlements;
-they did not take alot of colonies for some reason. This would have been a better choice for Spain if she wanted any chance of a friendly France.
-Spain took all of Southern France. There were other provinces which were not French nationals they could have taken. That would not have been so insulting as this is.
-The provinces Spain took was three of the best farming provinces, so we lose something like 35$, 45 food, 25 wine, 12 wool, 10 spices per turn. This is BAD!!
-we lose our best general. This is not a disaster but it is not good either.
So what now?
-our economy will be poor for a long time, we lose money from the provinces lost, and we have to pay 23% of our income for some time.
-that aside, we will prepare for war with Spain. Our armies needs some time to train, but we will have them ready in a year or so
-1400 glory points behind is alot, I doubt I will be able to recover from this, and the loss of those southern provinces means that we will not make alot of glory per turn as these provinces will now give us negative glory every turn.
-we still have more than enough generals to fill our armies and corps
-we still owe the "world bank" 350$ at 14% interest, this must be repaid quickly
-we need alot of cash to build the required artillery and cavalry
-we will need to produce 5-6 garrisons as well, this ammounts to close to 450$
Things are not good, not by a long shot, and there is no choice but to go to war with Spain again...What to do with those Preussiams? They will probably DoW me next time too...Might have to make a deal with them before I DoW Spain, something like:
France will not DoW Preussia for 2 years
France will ceede a province to Preussia
Preussia will not DoW France for 3 years.
