It's here.  I'm not to add in your new post GWG; I wanna go to bed  . 
I'll be back tomorrow, as I have nothing to do tomorrow. 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Everyone gets one boat.  That boat takes stuff and drops it in Europe and comes back with more people, I'll deal with the numbers outside of play. 

Colony Name:Eisen
Economy:Grain, barley and other crops
Name: Richard the peaceful
Region:middle

1. build farm houses
2. fields everywhere

Your fields produce a ton of food.  The extra amount is sold to the crown for 50 copper moneys.  Inflation is really low in this time, so expect lots of goods to account to  one penny.  Fields Expansion -30

20 - 10tax = 10Cu

Colony Name: New Veragua
Name: Sir Ian Kaeden Ainsworth
Region: South

1. Take all efforts to ensure that the planting of the crops goes smoothly, and that the harvest is not delayed.
It is a mediocre harvest compared to some in the Middle, but it could be worse. 
2. Encourage small farmers to expand, so that New Veragua will not encounter any food problems in the future.
Small farmers expand, taking more land, but they all produce cotton and tobacco.  These goods are in high demand in the homeland, and prices are high on the quantity and demand chart.  You get 1 Silver.  Unfortunately, you do not have enough ships to ship everything over. 
3. Recruit a few militia to help man Forts Santander and Iguala.
You take more men and put them on the border.  -20 copper per turn
1.00-.20=.80
You import some food -.20
.60
-20 tax
40 left over

Colony Name: Meridia
Economy: Cotton, Tobacco, wheat/general farming and foodstuffs, timber.
Name: Nicolas de Haviland
From his colonial seat in the port town of Orenburg, Nicolas set about stimulating the colony and creating foundations for strong economy.
Send a request to the homeland/king to make colony tax exempt for the first 5 years of its existence to stimulate its growth.
If the king agrees, all new colonists get a tax-free period of 3 years, as well as access to farming plots. HAHAHAHAGagaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  You guys make me laugh with your jokes.
All colonists have to pay for the wood cut down though. They are told that payments in tobacco and cotton will be accepted.
Prepare a suitably large piece of land for private estate and tobacco plantations-30. Free men are to be employed there and paid-20. 
+1 silver
-20 copper for food
-10 copper for wages
70 copper
Your colony has reminded me of the most important thing! Taxes.  I get 1/5 of your moneys.  If you do not pay you are fired and replaced.

Colony Name: Vangardia
Name: Maestro Aleksadre
Region: Middle
1)Set up basic agriculture, of both the meat and non-meat varieties. try to have as much variation as possible. +1 Ag = silver
2)Start prospecting for significant metal sources. If found, start construction of mines. -20 Cu = copper
3)Send some men out to cut down lumber for construction. Guarded by the musket-men (i assume each colony has a small garrison of mucketeers to help defend them? if not, just arm the lumberjacks so they can defend themselves. -20 Cu +45 Cu One shot a deer
4)Plan out and begin construction on a small town. -30 Cu
5)Build a Wooden fort and medium sized docks for trade. -30 Cu
Optional: If you don't have enough, I'll leave these out
6) Start construction of a watermill to power an irrigation system. I did not see this before -20 Cu
7) Begin construction of roads to he other colonies. -10 Cu (dirt roads)

-.20 for mines
-.20 for muskets (10) and wages (10)

Oh wait! Taxes!

-14 loans go for a 5% increase per turn unpaid. ie your treasury gets + 5% of the total if negative.  If negative for too long, the bank might come to collect and take a few limbs. 

Colony Name: Freekennels
Name: Timothy Mayor II
Region: South
Small Plantations +60
1: Establish/Improve Roads between the main port and the major plantations - 10 Dirt Roads
2: Send letters to parliament and the king requesting a few ships to my port to protect the cotton supply from any Spanish/Pirate incursion. you got to pay the fee of 10 Ag for a small one deck brigand.  Sounds like a lot, but your only on the first turn.    You have 100 turns to the 1800s.  Don't worry, you won't last that long. Anyways, you know that thing that keeps the Frenchies off our land, the British Navy?  Well join up today and keep your colony... what rhymes with today and means safe?  Ah screw it.  It has like ten men o' war (the racehorse ).  The spanish have these things called galleons.  They travel back and forth carrying gold to Spain.  I would look the other way if they *dissapeared* and gave me hush money.  50% of the earns would keep me from giving you to the Spaniards.  Same with the Frenchies, but they don't really have much in the way of ships. 
3: Survey coastline to see if there is good fishing about. +60 Cu
+110 Cu

tackses to pin your economic freedom down!  1/5 * 110 -22

110-22 = 88Cu

No! I must have the right to make clothing! #That guy on the corner of brook's street is guarenteed no game effect; also no 10000 man sweatshops that do.  The only manufactory of the century was the Soho Manufactory; built in 1761 and located in Britain. 
On another subject, anyone want to trade weapons?

Ah, we're starting from Square 0?
If so,
Set up some farms +50 and search for edible plants in the woods. (Say, Morningglow?) 5 people died of poison. Morningglow now Plantable,
Request that GM describe where the colony is.
It is mainly one small city/large town with forest arround it.  Most of your money comes from the forrest itself.

If there was any cap to this sort of thing; letters or words or lines, I hit it.  So this is what I'll do for a while.  I do not envy Mycroft Holmes. Although he is fictional, he did this sort of thing daily, for the full British Empire, India and all.  [/b]

Edit.  I went on a bolding spree.  If I missed or mispelled something, just tell me.

[Jbg97]

I can also add shipping to my colonies specialities

GWG/Jbg97 4forever(I'll stop now)

Seriously, what is it with us and you?

You're Batman, and I'm the Joker. Whereas everyone else on this forum has made a few not-insane posts, I strive to post nothing less than pure insanity. You've taken to posting only reasonable posts.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Might I suggest that you use formatting to make the turn more legible? Bold, italics, underlining and things like that?

[Remuthra]

Well, I assume it's time to post our next turns. And FYI I do intend to mass produce my clothing, since there is no industry available I simply build a large collection of workshops for the refining, processing, and clothesifying of metal, leather, and cotton. And silk if I can trade for it later. I assume this is still doable?
Turn: I begin by prospecting the surrounding area for armor-suitable metals.
I then continue construction on the Great Pants Mill.
Finally, I send out a small team of militia to explore my tula.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Have no idea what the "update" means.

(Please don't count that as my action for this turn, but it is kinda dense...)

[Jbg97]

(Please don't count that as my action for this turn, but it is kinda dense...)

I think that all our actions are either Produce actions or Consume actions. Produce actions create something that is sold to the Crown for money, and Consume actions use the money we have to build things like roads or cities. At the bottom of each person's turn there is a count of how much Copper (money) they have left. Since we have a limited amount of copper, we have to limit what we do next turn to fit within the constraints of our Production and Taxes.

[Gamerlord]

I'm fairly certain mine meant that I earned 70 copper, 20 from farming, and 50 from mining and woodcutting combined. Then lost 16 in taxes. Interesting. Is it safe to assume that we do not need to feed our colony?

[scapheap]

1.Check my lands for things of note(local, ore, wildlife)
2.carry on with farming

Colony Name:Eisen
Economy:Grain, barley and other crops
Name: Richard the peaceful
Region:middle

[Gamerlord]

If food is necessary, then solely mining, if not then split it between mining and farming.

[Ardas]

It would be nice if the updates were tad more readable and some explanation given as to what is caused by what. But I am sure you will get it with time.

1. Expand wheat farming to make colony self-sufficient and to provide food exports to other colonies (if they want to buy food locally than importing the overpriced stuff from Europe )
2. Build tobacco warehouses to store tobacco produced on my estate and by the colonists. Sell tobacco to the homeland!
3. Build cotton warehouses to store cotton from the colony. Sell cotton to the homeland!
4. build sawmills and logging camps.

[alamoes]

Sorry for the massive update.  I was tired and notepad does not bold. 

[alamoes]

I decided that the game will go on for a while like that, until I roll double 1s in the parliament roll (I still can't spell), or someone decides that they have become strong enough to take on the British.  I'll make turns three years, so now it is 1703.  Oh hey, guess what.  We have a war this turn.  Spanish War of Succession. 

DOUBLEPOST! I keep doing this. 

The war is the war of Spanish Succession.  Spain and France VS us (with allies in Europe).  I'll be fighting in Europe, you guys take on their colonies.  Change your actions to reflect this.  I'll check back later. 

Have no idea what the "update" means.

This is actually right on the money.  I hope after the bolding, it was clearer.  Anything that would naturally cost would take away money.  I'm abbreviating based on the elemental symbol on the periodic table.  Cu = Copper;  100 Cu = 1 Ag = Silver; 100 Ag = 1 Au; Gold.  You'll want to produce ships eventually so you can trade a larger volume of goods per turn. 

[Remuthra]

So we have to do 2 turns?
My other 3 actions are:
1. Finish the Factory. (if it doesn't take more than 3 years)
2. Send trade delegations out to ask for a weapon trade, I don't make weapons.
3. Assign workers to begin working the mill.

[Firelordsky]

Time to use criminal scum privateers.

1. Hire and pardon any pirates that are willing to capture French ships and not attack English ships.
2. Befriend the Indians in my territory and try to have them help out if Lindiria is ever attacked.
3. Continue expanding cattle ranching. Slaughter some and export some beef to the neighbors.
4. Start building a town near the harbor.

Can you do that? Seems a little much authority for a governor.
