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.

That seems like something a governor could do. England is several months away, so they can't exactly send for instructions, can they? Some autonomy under the law is required.

Charles Eden pardoned Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet, why can't I?

Perfectly passable for a Governor to do all of that.  England, or after 1706 Britain, practiced salutary neglect.  They did not care about whatever their colonies were doing, as long as they were making money for the crown.  Then after the French and Indian wars (there were several), they lost all that money, and they held the colonies responsible.

Expect an update by Monday the latest.  I've started the update, and will continue it later.

Colony: Proelia
Name: Alto Manus
Region: North.
A war? Stand aside, weakling other colonies. It's time for Proelia to show you how it's done.
Contact the King, ask for a small number of troops to aid Proelia, we are the front line against the French in the colonies.
Continue the mining, stone blocks are to be sent to the border between Proelia and the French to be constructed into forts.
Make fur shoes made from the skins of captured wildlife standard issue.
Start selling off metals to pay for our war effort here, but leave a sizable percentage for the construction of guns.
FIGHTY TIME! FIGHTY TIME! BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD!

Region: South

"Bloody hell, start taxing those bastards so we get some fething money. Crivens, you gits can be stupid some times."


1. Begin enforcing tax upon the farmes and miners.
2 Tell the miners to dig deeper.
3. Begin taking the stone dug out from the mines and house-building and begin to smooth and expand a high ledge on the biggest mountain. The bloody bastards will have to get to us before they can kill us.

Name: Timothy Mayor II
Region: South

1: Send Ship full of cotton to London, attempt to acquire coin and infantry weapons in exchange.
2: Send a majority of the militia to New Veragua to help defend to border. Leave the rest to garrison the capitol
3: Spend up to half my copper supply attempting to recruit local native tribes against the Spanish, or at least keep them neutral[/b]

The Governor also sends a letter to Sir Ian Kaeden Ainsworth of New Veragua

Sir Ainsworth,

I am sending my militia to help defend the border with Spain. Feel free to give them orders within reason. I am also looking to buy the loyalty of the nearby Injun tribes. If you want to contribute some of your colonies' wealth to this endeavor I would be most grateful. I am sending cotton back to Europe in hopes of getting some weapons to use. With any luck we should be able to go on the offensive in time. I look foward to dividing the wealth of the spanish colonies with you and the crown!

Start planting Morningglow. Also try to find someone who knows how to make wine.

In addition, make sure the militia is fairly well-armed.

Also build a nice, colony-run inn for any travelers looking for a place to stay. Analee Island is a lovely place this time of year...and perhaps the Spanish would be willing to accept hospitality as tribute, should we be invaded.

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

1 - Take all efforts to keep the planting and harvest as smooth as possible.
2 - Recruit more militia to augment the troops sent by the brave Timothy Major II. Send them to man the forts.
3 - Send 3/4^ths of my money remaining after taxes to Timothy Mayor II, to help his efforts to bribe the local tribes. A small guard of militia will also be sent to escort this treasure.

-Timothy Mayor II

Dear Timothy Mayor II.

I appreciate the militia most mightily. The Injun tribes are most numerous, and I have no doubts that they will side with our enemies in this war. Therefore we must take every pains to get as many of those savages on our side as we can. New Veragua might not be the most populous colony in the New World, but by God's grace we are one of the wealthiers. Therefore I will be providing as much money as I have at my disposal for your project. With great courage and fortitude we will surely win this war, and then settle down to the task of educating these Injuns, as God demands.

With well wishes, Sir Ian Kaeden Ainsworth

EDIT:Send a message to both Meridia and Eisen asking for a non aggression pact.

I take that as a declaration of war upon Proelia. I advise you to reconsider.

If you think i am afraid of some jumped up little colony far to the north, think again!
