Saxony

[Aurelin]

What happens with Saxony when it's last city falls? It's Dec 1805.

I had a dustup with them while fighting Prussia, I captured all their cities....the only affect I saw, other than the normal capturing of art. and supplies and them suing for peace...all it seemed to do was to bump up the warscore... I agreed to it because my troops were scattered all over, but, in retrospect, I should have turned it down and let the warscore build until I could claim some areas.

[Aurelin]

That's what I thought. I went in to get to Prussia. Berlin fell the same turn as Cottbus. I'll just let the score build.

Prussia took a nasty hit in NM and EP, while mine went way up.

UPDATE:

First turn of 1806 Saxony switched sides.

How did you get Saxony to switch sides? I am in mid 1808 and they are now at war with me again. There was no notice of switching sides. The lack of any direction to achieve special events causes a problem with the game. It is a good game; however, it would be nice to know how to get some of these events for someone who is not knowledgeable of all the historical events (e.g. Pressburg, Tilsit).

Take all their cities. Don't accept or offer peace.
