You can't win all the time. Francois I was one hell of a king, and still got beaten at Pavia. (quit)
	@r.load
A thousand hells! Did you really expect me to back off?! (load game)
	@q.briefing
The English gather their forces to attack our shores. Alas, we only have sketchy information concerning the direction of their assault. You have to protect three of our ports, Brest, St. Malo and Dunkirk. Losing any of them means disaster for France. Brest on the west and Dunkirk on the east are vulnerable to attack from the land, so you can expect the enemy to attempt a landing. St. Malo can only be attacked from the sea, the enemy will try to bombard it with naval artillery. For now, raise more troops and launch new ships. You can also give some special orders. To do so, bring royal musketeers to the town centers in Dunkirk, St. Malo or Brest.
	@r.briefing
Got it
	@o.global
You have to protect the ports on our northern coast from an english attack. In order to win, defeat the english forces (orange). You will lose if the English capture or destroy the town center of Brest (on the west) or Dunkirk (on the east). You will also lose if they destroy all buildings in St. Malo (at the center).
	@q.senmalo
St. Malo is a privateer base. The town is protected well on the land, the English are expected to bombard it from the sea. Do not allow them to turn it into rubble! If you want to expand your fleet, bring a royal musketeer to the town center.
	@r.senmalo
Very well
	@q.senmalo.cannons
The privateers have a few spare ships, very badly armed. If you would open your arsenals and let the privateers pick some cannons, they would arm these frigates. You'll be out of a few pieces of field artillery, sure, but the corsairs swear they will sink the English off the coast, and the redcoats will never trample the french soil. If you agree, you will lose 10 cannons and gain 3 frigates. What do you think? You don't have to decide right now, consider this proposal and contact me again when you've made your mind.
	@r.senmalo.ok
Of course. Open the arsenal.
	@r.senmalo.no
No. The walls of our fortresses are more reliable than corsair ships.
	@r.senmalo.later
I'll think about it.
	@o.senmalo.cannons
Bring 10 cannons to St. Malo.
	@q.senmalo.ships
Thank you, my admiral. We will arm more frigates now. We are the kind of people who are most confident when at sea, manning the decks of our ships. By thunder, the English will mourn the day they have decided to pay us a visit! We'll send their entire fleet right to hell!
	@r.senmalo.ships
Glad to hear that!
	@q.dunkerk
Here's Dunkirk. The spies report that the English plan to make a landing and assault the city. The most convenient place to do that is the coast to the east of the city. You can disrupt their schemes, though. Scuttle some ships where the English plan to make their landing. Bring a royal musketeer to the town center to give your orders.
	@r.dunkerk
Very well
	@q.dunkerk.ships
I agree, it might be wise to scuttle some ships off the coast. The English will leave us alone then, but they won't just turn back without achieving anything. They are likely to proceed to Brest then. If you have fortified it well, there is nothing to worry about, though. No offense, monsieur, but scuttling our ships is a desperate decision, it is my duty to make sure it is necessary. So, do you wish to scuttle the ships?
	@r.dunkerk.ok
Yes, make it so. Let's secure Dunkirk from the land.
	@r.dunkerk.no
No. If our ships have to perish, they will do so in battle.
	@r.dunkerk.later
I have to think about it.
	@o.dunkerk.ships
Bring 10 ships to the coast east of Dunkirk
	@q.dunkerk.sea
A portion of Dunkirk squadron has been scuttled. Now the enemy cannot make a landing there. But the English are stubborn, they will employ their troops elsewhere.
	@r.dunkerk.sea
Wherever it happens, I'll be there.
	@q.brest
South of Brest, the road east goes along the shore. If the English anchor there, we'll have to reinforce the city under their fire. To avoid that, you can scuttle some vessels there. What say you?
	@r.brest.yes
Yes, let's make the best use from these ships
	@r.brest.no
No, I'll rather sink some english ships there
	@r.brest.later
I'll think about it
	@o.brest.ships
Bring 10 ships to the coast southeast of Brest
	@q.brest.sea
A portion of Brest squadron has been scuttled. It can't prevent the enemy landing, but it will strip them of an opportunity to bombard your reinforcements coming from the southeast. The bets are high, and some sacrifices need to be made.
	@r.brest.sea
Better waste ships than men.
	@q.sea.reinforcements
My admiral! You know the fleet at Toulon has dispatched a squadron to reinforce the Ocean fleet. Much of our journey was uneventful, but on the approaches to Brest we have encountered the enemy. The English must have been looking for us, and went to intercept. I broke contact and escaped to bring you the news. Please, monsieur, the squadron needs your help! Without your ships my comrades will be overwhelmed!
	@r.sea.reinforcements
Give me their coordinates at once
	@o.sea.reinforcements
Help the Toulon squadron (white)
	@q.reinforcements.fail
Alas, your reinforcements from Toulon were intercepted by the English and promptly destroyed.
	@r.reinforcements.fail
Curses!
	@q.reinforcements.success
Thank you, my admiral! We went a long way and tricked the English many times, I swear. Imagine our distress when we saw them here in Brest. It would be sad indeed to meet the devil of the sea when our goal was within reach... Fortunately, you have arrived just in time. If the English are roaming our waters with such impunity, we must be in trouble. But now we'll teach them a lesson!
	@r.reinforcements.success
Without doubt!
	@q.dunkerk.brest
The English have arrived at Dunkirk. Upon spotting a forest of masts among the waves, they realize that making a landing is out of the question. Having fired a few salvos at the city from afar, they broke contact and went west. They must be targeting Brest, without doubt.
	@r.dunkerk.brest
Excellent. We'll meet them there!
	@q.brest.attack
My admiral, the English made a landing near Brest! They are assaulting the main naval base of our fleet. The city must hold at all costs.
	@r.brest.attack
They are brave, I have to give it to them!
	@q.dunkerk.attack
My admiral, the English made a landing near Dunkirk! They want to punish our valiant corsairs. Dunkirk is crying for help!
	@r.dunkerk.attack
On my honor, they won't be abandoned in their plight!
	@q.senmalo.attack
My admiral, the English are bombarding St. Malo! We must drive their fleet away, lest they turn the city into rubble!
	@r.senmalo.attack
Let them try if they dare!
	@q.brest.defeat
The assault on Brest was a success. The English razed the city, pillaged its stores and put to torch everything they couldn't steal. Our huge warehouses stockpiling the fleet's supplies, our wharves with ships under construction, everything went down in flames. It's a disaster!
	@q.dunkerk.defeat
The English razed Dunkirk! Despite all your efforts and the resistance of corsairs, the city was pillaged and burnt. The minister will be furious, and you can bet he will blame you in front of the King. Your career is over!
	@q.senmalo.defeat
The English bombarded St. Malo until the city was burnt to the ground. This spells an end to the history of its corsairs. A gain for the english merchants, a loss for the King who has been profiting from their booty. Soon enough, you will experience his wrath personally.
	@q.victory
No english soldier remains on the french soil, nor there are any english ships in sight of french shores! The designs of the enemy have been unraveled! You taught a brutal lesson to the islanders, one that would keep them away from french soil from now on.
	@r.victory
Long live France!
	@q.bandits
Damn it, these are soldiers! Are you bringing the pay to your comrades? No? Then get lost, we need nothing from you. Or did some bastard rat us out? I warn you, reach for your arms, and we kill you all, get it?
	@r.bandits.fight
You filthy outlaw! I'll hang you right here!
	@r.bandits.hire
The English will be here soon enough. You'll have the King's pardon if you help us to fight them off.
	@q.bandits.fight2
To arms! Move about, scallywags, lest you'll hang by the sunset!
	@r.bandits.fight2
Fire!
	@q.bandits.hire2
Hm, a sound offer. Fine, let's do something decent for a change. Maybe we'll end up being heroes or something. We agree!
	@r.bandits.hire2
Welcome on the King's service!
	@q.bandits.treasure
You have destroyed a band of robbers. After the battle was over, you have searched their camp and recovered 10000 gold.
	@r.bandits.treasure
Excellent!
	@q.noble
You have visited the estate of a rich noble. When you told him of your preparations to fight off an English attack, he said he cannot sit idly in these times of trouble, and will join the campaign. He promises to raise a volunteer corps.
	@r.noble
Knights like these are the backbone of the kingdom!
	@q.militia
Monsieur, I have gathered some volunteers, armed them and provided them with horses. Now we are ready to fight the enemy. It's an honor to fight alongside a renowned admiral such as you!
	@r.militia
You are a noble man indeed, monsieur!
