Very funny. This is 1750. If you try that, you’re hung for witchcraft and therefore lose.
and pay gauranteed double average wage for the first 450 000 men to sign up to be reservists who pass the test and name them the 1st and 2nd and 3rd Dragon each with 150 000 men

Gothenburg:
Pros: Swedish military is better-trained, so you have a better chance of winning “battles” (really just arguments over who does what and when to pull a Leroy Jenkins).
Cons: Because of Swedish rivalry with the Danes, Gothenburg can never be on the same side as them in any case- which will spell trouble if Copenhagen is aligned with a stronger faction!
Oslo:
Pros: It is located in an inlet, making a sea invasion of the city rather difficult.
Cons: It, being rather isolated topographically, will have a harder time trading than its neighbors.
Copenhagen:
Pros: It is southernmost out of the cities and thus boasts the most population, and as such has a larger military.
Cons: Its rivalry with Sweden makes it an immediate target for Gothenburg; being exposed on an island only inflames this issue.
Konnigsburg:
Pros: Being part of Prussia our beloved, Konnigsburg has an army that is both large and powerful, only outmatched in strength by Gothenburg’s (even then just man-to-man).
Cons: Even more isolated than Oslo, it’s practically cut off from the scene unless it captures another city quickly.
Character Sheet:
Role- Chancellor (chooses when to invade, where, and how, just 2), General (chooses specific strategy for specific battles, ordering troops into formation, etc; 4 max), Merchant (trades goods, negotiates deals, 3 max).
Location- Any of the 4 cities.
In-RP Name (optional)- Self-Explanatory.
What you can do:
Chancellor:
Invade- just say “I invade x-city”. Then the generals take over.
Surrendering: If the battle begins going sour, you can surrender. After that, you have to decide the treaty; if the worse-off’s side has had its army destroyed (i.e. all generals “die”), the better can annex the city (yes this is inspired by War in OTF), if not, the battle simply ends and the weaker side is nerfed in some way in terms of military. If a battle goes on too long, I will call the battle a draw, and nerf both side’s military equally.
Generals:
You control the armies. You just state your strategy (“I fire on a port with 3 howitzers”, “I fall back”, “I send cavalry to fire on the enemy infantry phalanx”, etc.) and I’ll chime in to announce how well it works (and any random-chance events that happen).
Army: Each city has an army; the army consists of infantry, cavalry, and cannons/howitzers. The troop numbers vary by city and after/during battles, and I will record those changes (when I’m available). In battle your troop # decreases, and in peace your troop # increases if you expend Economy Points and Material.
“Dying”: If an attack goes well enough, an enemy general may “die” in-battle. If that happens, then 1/5 of all troops are eliminated, running out of fear due to not having a leader.
Merchants: You just trade things and try to get Economy Points for your city.
Trade: Just say “I’ll sell x Material to y for z economy points” and, if ‘y (the city you’re trading with)’ accepts,
the trade succeeds, and the Material and EP are exchanged if the ships sail safely (random chance events).
Beyond that, do anything you want- literally ANYTHING- and if it makes sense in the historical context, I’ll let it go through (unless it requires me making an image, I’m on mobile).
