Italian cloning experiments gone awry! Does this mean that both of those armies consist entirely of Garibaldi clones?

Anyway, I vote yes, it won't really affect me yet anyway, so it's all good.
I'll be busy trying to get my army to meet with the Indian rebel army, and once it has done so, not self-destruct in a dazzling display of incompetence.

When did this happen

I thought you play the crisis game, not get a report afterwards without even knowing there was one

Zuruck zur Arbeit, Wiener Zeiting caricature, 1861

The anarcho-liberal agitators have finally lost their wind in their sails as the combined assault by Imperial diplomats, policemen and the fact that the peasantry cannot survive on air and promises alone broke the strikes that kept the Imperial economy stagnant since 1858. The factories and fields neglected these long months are again full of peasants and workers preparing for the 1861 season.
Despite a massive call for stricker punishment by the nobility, a more lenient aproach was implemented by the Emperor, under advice by Count von Buol. Effective amnesty for all workers and peasants returning to the fields, not regarding the severity of the transgression agaisnt the Empire. The anarcho-liberal agitators and ring leaders on the other hand are to be rounded up and prosecuted.
The architect of the negotiations, Count Johann Bernhard von Rechberg und Rothenlöwen, is already drafting his next proposal to the Emperor. Unoficial sources say that it is a proposal to increase Austrian coal production to exploit the European coal shortage.

Wait, you did not choose Austria's cards?

Christ, did you see how close you got to war? If Two Sicilies had any better cards you would probably be at war right now! Furthermore, if the AI was ready to start a war with some backward, unindustrialised nation, can you imagine what kind of threat it considers Piedmont-Sardinia to be?

So in the future, in order to preserve your coal customer base, let us improve our relations and be very good buddies, alright?

In other news, the duplicate Garibaldi was banished to the ethereal void, so I would like to thank other great European leaders for having joined me in the ceremony.

Nope.
Hunter was talking about a crisis between Austria and Two Sicilies, but I saw nothing at all. No message that a crisis began or that I should choose my cards, but for some reason Prussia was informed

I'm always informed about Austria as I should be

Everyone is informed of a crisis occurring somewhere in the world.

It is true, however, that it is very easy to miss something in the mess (and mass) of trade and diplomacy messages. The best way to ensure that you do not miss anything, is to use the filter buttons on the left of the message area. The first one is especially important, as it highlights all the major issues around the world (events and the like), as well as system messages and diplomacy.

In any case, should there be a crisis between Italy and Austria, you can be damn sure you will be informed about it happening. We would not want an accidental war, now would we?

Oberon · 08-11-16, 07:59 AM

Even I saw about the crisis, I think it was somewhere underneath the messages about Indian rebels and other colonial adventures, oh and my businessmen displaying extreme acumen by buying stuff over the market value and selling it at under.

No..no no no that would be...a damn shame if that where to happen.

Betonov · 08-11-16, 10:35 AM

an ''accidental'' war, we shouldn't let that happen

And Prussian war plans are not really war plans, they're contingency plans based on Austrias actions

Oberon · 08-11-16, 01:56 PM

Ok India....that does it...

Thank you Oberon. I know that exaggeration is usually the norm on forums in the form of LOLs and ROFLs, but this had me literally grabbing my sides and falling on my keyboard.

As for your Indian adventures, your Gurkas should take care of business soon enough. Until then, the battles results are historical, as far as British military leadership in the colonies goes.

Betonov · 08-18-16, 01:40 AM

That would be a good idea.
Forcing strikers into a strike force to strike at the as of yet undetermined enemy

I'll call them the dirty dosen thousand.
