How can Russia accept that Austria grew that big so soon?

[/quote]

Is that a note of fear now in the French stance, where previously it was 'the only chance in a hundred years the Austrians had to take the French has gone"???

Where will the leviathan turn next?

Leviathan?
Sure she is big, but with her waste levels she is gonna be as threathening as a stranded whale. My men are ready and training for her approach.

I would expect to see Austria trade land for long enforced peace or alliance agreements with her neighbors.

Well, that off course would only benefit one nation...Austria. She will not be overtaken glory wise if everyone is going to pamper her.
Oh well, guess I'll have to do the dirtywork myself then.

Otto's are in.

The Austrian King is a sly one. It appears that he handed off all "waste" to Russia and got a good treaty in return.

In the 1792 scenario I don't see how this can be opposed other than the French going onto the offensive, which is patently dangerous for them.

It is not even doable tbh. France starts out too weak (I'm not anymore, but I was).

Replied.

Hope Russia and Preussia really thinks that offer through.
And that Turkey and Sweden do the same, who will Russia tangle with if they accept this offer?

As I say. I don't think it can be stopped. As the Sultan points out, the Austrians have been very clever with how they reduce their obvious lead so as to not stand out.
 
Agreed, I could not see how France could do this. Possibly Prussia could DOW the Poles, but that would be a green light to a French invasion of their homelands.
 
The fact you can take out a minor with such a large landmass by taking its Capital makes this approach very easy. I am a little surprised the very capable Polish Armies didn't seem to take any steps to stop either the Austrians or the Russians.

Well I am still waiting for a few people (will not mention names Mus [:D]) to come growling about how Austrian agression is not acceptable etc etc.

Cause that cannot possibly only be aimed at me now can it? [;)]

When a strategic AI capable of running on a modestly priced desktop PC is capable of defeating a human opponent well... have you ever seen Terminator?

Ha ha - well yeah OK. But they didn't even attack once - just left it to the garrisons. Great nations under the control of the AI move their armies about...

Really? I must have missed that one. I saw plenty of seige stuff, but missed the land battle. Hope I'm wrong and you're right.

The Ottomans have peaceful agreements with both Russia and Austria. If they look at their history they will be reminded that bitter wars just ended in 1769. There should be a chance to heal [;)].

They do? I must have missed those, or maybe they are secret... or maybe 'were' secret?

Sometimes secret agreements are forgotten too easily.
