Hessen-Thuringia+EoT+3


 * Hessen-Thüringia**

1: I'm spending +++++ Mil into, well, being very loud and obvious. My military has grown pretty quickly, and I try to showcase it's newfound might to influence the nearby Duchies, scared of the constant pirate raids, to join me.
 * MIL:+++++**

1: Again, spending +++ Mor on influencing the Duchies - life in Hessen-Thüringia is great, and us Germans are awesome, right?
 * MOR:+++**

1: Spending +++++ to build all kinds of fancy and non-explosive toys and bells and whistles in order to convince the most susceptible German Duchy to join me.
 * SPK:+++++**

1: I have an agreement with the GAA - I give them defensive espionage support, ++- of it, to escape the Wild Woods to Russia unnoticed. 2: The remaining + Def Esp works with the Off Esp to build the advance-prediction network.
 * ESPD:+++-**

1: Spending + on continuing work on my advance-prediction networks in surrounding areas to protect my vaults from enemy espionage attacks. 2: Spending + on convincing the most susceptible Duchy to join me.
 * ESPO:++**

1: Spending ++ on convincing Duchies to join me.
 * WO:++**

The Fugger Bank


 * Econ: +++++ +++++ +++++ ++-**

Loki's Brigade and the Celestial Empire both gain - Perm Econ from the Bank's own funds this turn as they've invested +++++ Temp Econ. The money for Loki stays in the Bank, the money for the Celestial Empire is given to them.

1: Celestial Empire gets - Perm Econ, taken from the Bank's own funds, not the CE vault. In exchange they use +++++ statpoints to support me in my attempt to get a German Duchy to join me. 2: A deal with the GAA - I give them +++ Temp Econ this turn and then once they're in Russia they'll begin supporting my take-over operations in the Duchies. 3: Spending the remaining +++++ +++++ ++++ Temp Econ on bribing and politicking in the most susceptible German Duchy to get them to join me.

Okay, so that's like, 35 points used this turn on the Duchies plus the stuff I used on turn one, which is like ten points in itself. If 45 points isn't enough to take over a tiny nation with plenty of fluff reasons, then I think I'll give up on unifying Germany, at least without force of arms.
