A loosing battle, but still you will take some damage. I can´t summon ships out of thin air.

They did fix the Sea Dog in the summer patch, so you kind of can

@oledavy,
a. when you attack Archduke's fleet this round, keep my fleet in mind too for the next round of battles. 1upt can be challenging with 2-3 players involved.
b. please keep me informed about Woden's advance toward my Island. I can never have too much intel here.

3 frigates in your area, 2 more en route. His caravel is nowhere close.
The first wave is 3 Knights, 2 Crossbows, and a Musket. There is another musket following father behind. And there's the GG of course.
Looks like he's going to land near Teutoburg.
He can put one knight ashore this turn (t148) on the desert northeast of the citrus. It looks like the other two knights are going to land on the peninsula just north of there but I don't believe they can land this turn, nor can anything else. The crossbows and musket will come ashore in the second wave.
Good hunting, on land and at sea

Kinda difficult to win if I have to kill more then 2 ships for 1 of mine. I need a 3:1 kill ration.
God damn.

I got rid of the first Brazilian frigate, please use your intel to advise on more incoming frigates.
I tried my best to beat the ironclads (2 remaining), however, both are still there with one having a few health points left. You should be able to get rid of them but don't be shocked to see your forces being a mere 3 frigates. Archduke still has 5 frigates and they can cause us real trouble. I am getting reinforcements as fast as I can but it would be of real help to see more of your navy at the current hot spot. We don't want Archduke to catch too much of a breath so he can't team up with Woden on my eastern shores.
Good luck

Never fear, the cavalry is on the way. I recommend you build caravels in your next round of navy so we have some melee units that can capture cities. If possible, I would like to raze both the cities on his west coast.
I killed one ironclad and one frigate, expect him to take down 3-4 of our ships in return.
Nice job on the Brazilian frigate. He's pulled back out to sea. He has 3 knights, 1 musket, 2 crossbows, 1 GG, and a frigate directly east of Kiel now. The lead knight is 5 tiles east of the city center.
He tried to kill your southern caravel with another one of his, but yours survived with 1 HP. I recommend you run now 
1 More musket is on the way, and there are two much more distant frigates headed your way. I will keep you appraised as to their position.

@Woden, I hope this battle has shown you why something needed to be done about Archduke. Can you imagine if he had just taken that fleet and run over Germany again?

@TheArchduke,
I need you to try and hold the straits a little longer. I am about to chop the shit out of my land and should have 4 or 5 new frigates out in the next few turns. I will have a few to help out soon but it will take a few turns to get the others towards Germany.

 . No, it makes me realize that you were the true threat all along and how powerful the VA is on a map like this.
