Wait, shouldn't that be assumed ONLY if someone didn't vote for a colony site?

Yes, sorry, of course. Most people have not voted separately, though, so unless they do it's going to be in the north.

[Remuthra]

If I can just use what I have (aliens- anything strange or unknown. Not neccesarily extraterrestrial.) I would do that. But I don't feel like rewriting my colony description, so I'll just go on the waiting list if I can't.

Ladies and gents, after long deliberation and discussion over players and the game, we decided to drop the number of players to 6, as to make the game more manageable. The players accepted are:

Taricus
Terenos
micelus
Emral282
adwarf
Ghazkull

Sorry to other players, but we considered the apps on the basis of how well would they fit with the game at the start and the elvel of game expected. There is potential for more players to enter as the game develops however, so stay tuned.
Ideally the game will start as soon as possible and you will be informed in due time.

Game lives still. I'll be posting the IC thread and the first turn tomorrow in the evening. Sorry for the delays.

To keep you waiting, here's a map we made (by we I mean Digital Hellhound).

Any comments?

[Taricus]

Only I can say that DH is a fool/numbskull/(Insert insult here) for saving the map as a jpg

[Digital Hellhound]

That's not a .jpg (or atleast wasn't) and that's not the version you lot were supposed to see. I gave you the higher-quality sections for a reason, Shoot! You have brought great shame upon the Triumvirate.

Actually you gave me one of them, out of four... But eh. I'm currently writing the IC thread, people.

[Digital Hellhound]

I put them all up on the .doc, silly. General Information tab.

[Taricus]

One of you lot mind posting the good quality version of the map then please?

[micelus]

So how do I get naval supplies?

Also kinda confused. Will resources ALWAYS be on a hex as long as they are the right type?

[Terenos]

Heres what has been gleaned in answer to your question, from speaking with the Gms On IRC. (Come hang with us in the old Yak4 channel!)

Our home regions have no resources. Not really. Unless you already have a building exploiting it, or can make an excellent case for it being suppliable(cattle for example)...You dont have it. This prevents us from building up whaling industries, or mines. Until we expand.
The regions that are unclaimed will have resources that we can then exploit,by building the appropriate buildings. Scout them out, scouting gets us an Expedition price that tells us how much we have to pay to 'map' the region, which tells us how much we'll have to spend to colonize it..And probably give us some information about whats going on there in terms of resources.

Naval supplies are built, provided you have a logging industry. Which we all do. Don't rely on this industry though, I'm sure we'll deforest plenty of land.
Also I'd like to point out it would appear that we cant do a double upgrade of something in a turn. So 1 farms, 1 cattle. But not 2 cattle or 2 farms.

Note; The above is pretty much the scattered word of the Gms, from the channel. If I'm wrong, im wrong. Things change after all.

[Ardas]

Terenos got a pretty good gist of it all. More resources await to be exploited inland, so don't get high hopes of making big bucks staying on the coast. Deforestation and resource depletion are very much a feature, to show that you guys are having an imact and to ensure that you develop outside your starting regions. But don't worry, resources will deplete at reasonable rate so there is no fear of you being dicked over by me or Shoot, as long as you reasonable.

EDIT: I forgot to add it in the tables and I forgot to tell you folks (my bad mistake really) - regardless of what map shows, each province has one dominate terrain type- and that terrain type tells you what you can and cannot build. I will overhaul colony sheets tonight, but I will let you people redo your orders afterwards, if you need to.

[Digital Hellhound]

Just to clear some things up; the moneys are rounded up, so instead of 0.6¤, you have 1¤. There's also been a mix-up about terrain types and what Resources and Upgrades a Region can support. Each Region has a Terrain type, listed on the map below the Region name, and most Resources and Upgrades require a specific terrain to be able to be built. You can see this in the Terrain/Climate section in the spreadsheet. The map follows;

The North

I had some things to do and the colonies are still in work, but the game is very much alive. Hold on people.

E: Player colonies and Sheet were overhauled. Feel free to have a look at them (I added few things) and I will try to produce an update later tonight.

[Emral282]

Did my failed actions still cost money?
Or does the current funds thing not count the income?
