• Expand and focus on the harvest, as always. We'll need the money more than ever.
• Send half my remaining funds (after taxes, fees etc.) to Timothy Mayor II along with a couple militia for guards.
• Send a few scouts into Spanish territory to determine what the enemy is doing.

To Governor Timothy Mayor II of Freekennels:

Greetings! I'm glad to hear that you've established some peaceful relations with the local Indian population. Hopefully when this thrice-blasted war is over we can civilize them and bring them under Christ's banner, though I fear that'll be some time away.

I'm glad to hear that you'll be heading to Europe, and I wish Godspeed to you. I'm sending half my treasury with this letter, in the hopes that you'll find it most useful in the halls of Europe. At the very least use it to buy a couple cannons for me posthaste. My men are more enthusiastic than trained, God bless their souls, and a couple of artillery pieces would go a long way to protecting our border.

Now I don't have much in the way of a military plan. New Veragua ain't got much in the way of men, muskets or gunpowder, and I reckon a full-blown campaign is way out of our grasp. So I'll be sitting nice and tight in Nicuesa, and keeping my eye out for any Spanish dogs unruly enough to stick their noses over the border. Then I'll give them a right hiding they won't soon forget. And if they stick their noses into Freekennels, well then I'll give them a hiding there too. It'd be the neighbourly thing to do. Of course if the King decides to send some Regulars our way, then it'd be a different story, but that's a big if.

With well wishes in God, Sir Ian Kaeden Ainsworth.

What's the difference between beer and ale, anyways?

There is none, because ALE IS A TYPE OF BEER.

Cool.

(I'll freely admit to not knowing much about alcohol.)

[Weirdsound]

To Sir Ian Kaeden Ainsworth:

Thank you for the well wishes, money, and most importantly commitment to the defense of Freekennels. I am making ready for my departure to Europe, and would like to share a few final thoughts and plans. My plan is to try and butter up Nobles and Generals for whatever spare resources they can afford to make disappear. I will try to avoid the bureaucratic and political nightmare of dealing with parliaments and crowned heads.

Should these methods prove effective I may choose to extend my stay in Europe for the duration of the war. The way I see it, in these troubled times we need somebody to represent the colonies back in the old world. Should I be up for the task, I hope my people can look out for themselves and remain more or less civil until my return. Should you feel the need to assert order in Freekennels however, you have my blessings to do whatever need be done. Should I fail to get results in Britain and Germany I will return home where I can hopefully do more good.

On the issue of the injuns, I would encourage you to reach out to them and hire some of their warriors to train our troops. In these troubled times I wager we need their savage techniques and knowledge of the land as much as they need our faith and civilization. Should I fail in Europe I will take such outreach measures upon myself.

Finally I would like inform you that I will pay a visit to Oxford and try to lure some students and professors down to our neck of the woods to both study and teach the savages. Although I doubt I will get many takers during a time of war, I am thinking in the long term. At some point after the war I would like to put a University in Freekennels to rival any in Europe. I am informing you, because if New Veragua wishes to contribute I would be willing to place it on or near the border between us. I don't expect you to come to a decision or even ponder this too deeply until after this thrice dammed war concludes, but I am beginning to firmly believe that the Americas could become the Jewl of the empire.

Let us survive (or god willing win!) this war, and prosper in friendship.

Just AI them for this turn. It's already been a couple weeks, and any further delays won't help. Though obviously if somebody chimes in before you finish the term, then slot them in.

Yeah that was my plan.  Royal Occupation!  Here's a first, Alomoes is unavailable as a name on the now free Unreal Worlds forum.  :0

Some other people have not posted .  I'm not waiting.  I've done an overhaul of the entire money system.  It is more capitalisty now and less calculations for me, always a bonus.  I got rid of the bane of my existence, money and taxes.

I'm going to need to make an area for military and trade assets, aren't I.  New rule! Post all buildings and upgrades you have, that includes if you have a militia and amount of ships. Also post treasury, my major nemisis in this game.  Just as a repeat, everyone has one medium ship, an indiaman.  Proelia is finally following history and making itself a merchant navy.  Also, it takes one turn to build things from now on.  I'll do your post for you in this update, but it will make thing much easier for me.  I'm also abolishing the money system as I don't like doing many calculations, and most of the turns are spent doing calculations.

Mine deeper. We need serious cash right now. precious ore struck.

iron ore stockpile made bigger
Buy some lumber from Woodhedge. Right after you say you need cash?
Construct a wood mill using the lumber and stone blocks. I see why you wanted the wood.
Start cutting down trees and turning them into lumber. lumber stockpile made. 
If we have enough money left over, build ships so we can easily trade with all the colonies. Finaly, someone starts the ship industry.  Construction on a sloop is begun, and 5 cannons are available to be mounted on this ship on each side.  This should bring in enough extra cash once complete to usher in a new era of ship building in the colonies.  Or not, maybe it will fail miserably.  I'm leaving this in because you'll make the money back next turn

This is helpful for the production of the signature Pantsian soldier.

Tech level currently is the age of sails, eventualy if we get to it, it will be the industrial age.  The Pantasian soldier is the best soldier in the world at this time, but it is located in the country of Pantasia.     Sorry, but you only have militia.  You can reform your army, or try, but it costs money.

Yep. No natives still hanging around.  there are some, but they are outside of colonial possession; you kicked them out in several bloody wars.  10% percent of all colonists died in one war, although it was an early one. 

Continue house construction. The exponential housing cost is making it to expensive to continue.  You instead opt sell off lumber for people to construct their own

Another letter is sent to Sir Ian Kaeden Ainsworth of New Veragua

Sir Ainsworth,

I have contacted the injuns to the south and established an embassy.

They have agreed not to mess with us. I will continue courting more

active assistance from them. I may try to send some to your encampents

so that they may impart their quaint yet useful knowledge upon our

troops.

In other news I am considering departing for the homeland and perhaps

other neutral and friendly european ports to raise some support for the

colonial cause. If I am to do so, can I count on my neighbor to the

South to watch my colony in my absence?

I will leave the our military strategy up to you, but I would like to

know what you have in mind. Are we hunkering down and just going to ride

out the storm? Raid and pillage? So long as you are willing to defend my

land, consider yourself (or a general of your choice) commander and

chief over my troops. Try to capture and hold Spanish lands? If you

share your plans with me, I can keep them in mind in my dealings with

the Injuns and European courts.

As my neighbor and ally on the front lines you have my full faith and

support. Godspeed to us all.

Regards

-Timothy Mayor II


I can't criticize your word injun, because it was used in the

northern black-faced minstrel play Dixie. Fun fact, Dixie was written in

Ohio, near Lincoln's home.  Fun fact, Abraham Lincoln liked the song and

had it played when he received news of Lee's surrender.

1: Harvest and sell cotton. While my boats are in England they should

buy cannons for Sir Ainsworth, dogs for my people, and muskets for the

sent from New Veragua) if possible.Guess how popular the dogs are.

2: Timothy Mayor II rides with the cotton harvest to Europe where he

will take a tour and entertain various British and German Nobles and

Military Officers with stories of life in the colonies. He will try to

get his new friends to divert any troops, money, and military supplies

that can be spared to Sir Ainsworth's encampment. The gentry of

Britain see you as a reject, even though you have more money than many

of them put together.

WAR!!!!!

The Northern Border
~~Year One
At first the French are nowhere to be seen.  In late April, they arrive

with an army of Native Archers and Militia and march on the wall. 

Colonist troops start to fire on the enemy from the wall under captain

Arthur P. Wilson. The enemy marches on the wall taking fire, but due to

the muskets inaccuracy, they did not kill many men. Captain Arthur P.

Wilson sat there and watched the battle unfold from the back. The enemy

was in range to fire.  Unfortunately for them, they were in range of

musket fire now and were taking massive casualties.  The troops finally

pulled back and a general retreat was ordered. 

~Arthur P. Wilson~

Asks the colonies to launch an invasion of the French colonies. 

The militia don't want to fight, but will if pressed (2).  Like many

people, now promoted to general, General Wilson does not like Militia. 

War will proceed in mini updates like this, post your war actions

Southern Front
~~Year One

The Spanish did not show up for war.  Must be planning something.  Or

not.  But Commander Charles L. Navarette thinks so.  He wants to invade

too in a nationalistic show of pride.  Also known as Hubris (1).  The

troops do not want to go to war and die (2). 

You guys should probably discuss war plans.  Turns are 3 years each, so

there are three war turns with potentially more than one battle each

especially when armies get to be big stacks of 40000 men. 

Warfare will be roll to dodge type combat influenced by traits and such.

 

~King and Parliament~

Parliament debates on unifying taxes in the colonies and solving the tax

problem. 

That failed.  Parliament was devided on what taxes should be. 

Kings move.  The navy is sent to blockade the English Channel. 


~~Naval Warfare~~
Because communication at sea is hard you cannot give orders to your

admirals. 

The only person with a combat fleet is Lindiria. 

Your privateers go off on their merry way.  They sink 3 galleons and

reap in the spoils.  As a reaction the Spanish commision pirate hunters

to hunt them down. 

The king takes his fleet and sends it to blockade the english channel.  A big battle takes place and The French lose.  They always lose.  No offense to French people   It was expected.  They held their own though and the British fleet are forced to stay in the channel patroling for the french.  The French lose 2 ships of their 8.  The Spanish send their fleet to deal with piracy in the carribean.  They catch 2/8 of the privateers and hang the captains.  Piracy does not hit anyone, due to the widespread naval warfare. 

I finally got the update out
The question now is what do you do with your two armies? Do you brashly attack? Do you cowardly hold at home?
Also if Highlesia or Altenia don't post soon they are fired and we would need new governors for them. 

We need a new governor for Meridia.  We need someone to end the fighting between the poor farmers and the rich plantation owners!
