The agreement still holds. I didn't want to tip Russia off since I told him I wasn't going to contest Rumania in the spring, so from his angle it looks like I'm attacking towards Greece and Italy. Actually, my troop in Serbia is still planning to go into Rumania, and my Trieste army will go into Serbia. My fleet will move back towards Italy - I'm not going to be taking Greece, but I had a temporary DMZ with Italy in the Adriatic Sea so I had to move somewhere. End result is - you still get to take Greece, and your Black Sea fleet supports my Army in Serbia to Rumania.

Of course, this only matters if you still want to keep the agreement. If not, I completely understand.

Looks like you're in quite a bind. Do you require any assistance?

Oh jeez I think I just pissed off half the players on my side of the map.

Yeah, I'm up for a permanent alliance. Neither of us have much to gain by attacking each other, and our position on the map makes us natural allies since we expand in opposite directions. :P

Oh, I mostly meant Doll.  :3 We're going to have to have happy fun negotiation time.

Although Schezo probably expected more support from me than he got, seeing as he's now boned in the south. But I was scared of Italy, so. :V

This will be interesting~

Looks like your northern escapades are fairly calm.

Doll's homeland is a extremely defensible beast, and it would be folly to full-on charge him unless I'm 100% sure Italy will be friendly. But he hasn't responded to my latest message, so I'm afraid things have taken a turn for the worse. Oh well. :V

Negotiating with everyone is the heart of diplomacy!  It's all about making the right negotiations, and breaking only the ones which will actually help you. I went ahead and opened embassies with everyone because even if you are under attack, you can still make deals with the opposition, provided you have something to give.

Lol France and England. It's pretty amazing that you're the only one adjacent to Belgium right now. You could always pick it up right now and save Holland for next turn, provided you haven't already ceded the territory to someone else.

Now that's interesting, as the Turks came to me with a proposal to help kick you out of Rumania, with support from the Black Sea. That unit in the Black Sea is also in prime position to take Sevastopol.

As for support, I could always support you from Serbia, but I'm afraid the Turks might just move Black Sea into Sevestopol and it would all be for naught because you would lose your home supply center and be left in a terrible position. Perhaps if you could find out what the Turks are planning, I could help you better with your endeavours?

I'm not really worried about Germany right now.

From the rules I've read about this variant, I'm pretty sure London can't jump directly to Belgium, although Cordoba can jump to North Africa and Naples to Sicily.

Spain's move looks very anti-French from here. It looks like he was working with England and Italy to prepare a joint three-way invasion. Basically France's goose is cooked unless he can draw up better terms.

Hey Italy. Do you think you'll be needing any naval support in the future (against Spain, France, etc.)? I would be glad to provide naval support on the western front if you need it (but I'll need to plan ahead accordingly).

[I might need some help against France, yes, but how were you planning to help me? Go the whole way around?]

No, not land-wise, I can't really do anything there (and you'll be able to take Piedmont by yourself anyway this turn). But if you wish it I can provide eventual naval support by supporting your troops in North Africa and the lower coasts of France and such. This will be something like 4 turns in the future though, which is why if I'm going to go that route I have to start planning for it now.

[Wait, we're still supposed to move this turn? Welp..]
Yeah we get two move turns per year, and then a build/remove turn after that. Retreat turns come after the move turns if they're valid.

[But still, if you'd do that, I'll try ta support you too... It's a deal.]
Alright. :D

Actually, I'm not 100% about the London to Belgium thing. I guess you'll have to ask the mod.

Hmm, the problem is that if you're leaving to go back to Sevestapol, Turkey can decide to force taking Rumania, whether I like it or not. This is a very tricky situation.

[s]You should accept his offer against Austria.[/s]
No, please don't kill me I can give you land and everything.   :ohdear:

I do wonder how he would help you against Russia though. I guess it's more like, I can offer to not help Russia.  :V

I don't know about land specifically, but offering incentives such as supply centers, DMZs, support for military operations, etc. are fairly normal I think. But I've only played a few games, so.

Doll hasn't responded to my last message...so I don't really know what's up with that. :V

Ha! I couldn't backstab you even if I tried. >_> But seriously, your territories are kinda out of the way for me. Moving towards your direction would be suicidal. Just to make that clear, I have no interest in attacking you, unless you attack me first. ;)
