Pre-landing phase 1

Your name is (......). You are from the glorious (race) state of (Name of your home state). This ship carries around 150 settlers, travelling on the vast oceans, in search of a new home for its inhabitants. You remember that your letters patent stated that the main aim of your colony is (penal / trade / conquest).

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Hoping to do it right this time. No more fancy drawings, and big plans for it aside from a few squibbles done from work.
This game will take a more grand-scale approach, and you'll deal with mainly dilemmas rather than min-maxing colonists for a particular situation.

Your name is Pablo Rodriguez Rafael Emilio Alejandro. You are from the glorious human state of the Gran Imperio Humano. This ship carries around 150 settlers, travelling on the vast oceans, in search of a new home for its inhabitants. You remember that your letters patent stated that the main aim of your colony is extermination or enslavement of all non-human races (and also conquest).

You remember that your letters patent stated that the main aim of your colony is trade.

Your name is Haktal. You are from the glorious Dryad state of Merkan. This ship carries around 150 settlers, traveling on the vast oceans, in search of a new home for its inhabitants. You remember that your letters patent stated that the main aim of your colony is the extermination of all non-plant nations and the sylvanization of their land.

You look out across the salty waters aboard the Mangrove treeship Arboreal Revenge, the living wood of her deck thrumming beneath your roots. To your right stands her dryad, and the captain of this ship, Garlarg, who informs you that land has been sighted on the horizon. You feel your sap begin to quicken in anticipation, finally the colonist saplings can be rid of the confining pots they had to be interred in out of necessity for the duration of the voyage.

Soon you would wreak bloody vengeance upon those demons who invaded from the sea, cutting down and shipping away your sisters, their weeping still lingering in your heartwood. Those filthy beasts would die and their land would become a new colony of Merkan!

Lets make it Pablo Emilio Rodriquez Rafael Alejandro instead, because the initials spell Perra (google translate it)

Also, lol at conquest being an afterthought +1

-1. Our name will not be 'BITCH'. Maybe it can be Tonio Emilio Rodriguez Rafael Alejandro - TERRA.

I really love the idea of Merkan but I guess I have to bend towards the will of the faux-spanish.

Pre-landing phase 2
(Week 4, April, foggy)

You are Pablo? Tonio? whatever, you still have time to finally remember. As the leader of this military expedition, you currently have 75 soldiers, 30 adventurers, 30 colonists, and 15 slaves on board.

Spoiler: Types of colonist (click to show/hide)

Soldiers: They are basically men paid to fight. They are professional, more in a sense that they expect to be paid, but still in general they are as good as twice as many similarly equipped unskilled men in battle. They are not really willing to do anything other than fighting, so they work slower than most, and they will want to pay constantly or you might have a mutiny on your side.

Adventurers: More genre-savvy for life in this part of the world. They can take care of their own asses - if they have enough land to gather from and equipment to hunt with, and is 50% better than unskilled men in battle. Their downside mainly lies in their unwillingness to stick to one place, so they take a default morale penalty unless they are on the move.

Colonist: Your average run of the mill men, going on this adventure for a variety of reasons. They are taken as the baseline.

Slaves: Slaves in this game represents slaves, prisoners, or generally unfree men unable to make a decision on their lives. They are easier to placate, but are subject to many penalties, including lower skilled labour ability, forbidden to bear arms, and unable to get onto ships unless someone make them free. They also tend to be the most problematic group if they are pissed off enough.

You also read your letters patent carefully. Your king specified that you are to claim any land for the crown, and you are given permission to forcibly stop any natives, previous civilization, and other states interfering with your job. To save money, the king will not send follow-up for the first year, unless you give him concrete proof that you got yourselves on your feet.

You think of your aide. You remember that you invited a few friends for this expedition, but only one responded, and he is...

a. Abel, A skilled navigator
b. Kiko, A scout
c. Raul, A cleric/priest (make up your religion, please!)
d. Flavio, A sharpshooter
e. Ernesto Barrios, A minor noble
f. Your call, need approval.

You also noticed that Garcia, your secretary assigned by the king, reports that you have reached the charted lands that a previous navigator had mapped. This place... [58] Hills rises up from the heavily wooded coastline. There is flat land here and there, but fertility is a big unknown and on the maps there are also some small streams, enough for the inhabitants of this ship. You are not really sure there are other civilizations or settlements within tough due to foggy weather.

From here you can travel north or south on board along the shoreline. You notice that the wind is blowing constantly from the north, so you have a easier time going south than north.

You can explore along the coastline, or to prepare for final landfall.

Thanks!

Slaves: and unable to get onto ships unless someone make them free.

Uh what? And they're like, on a ship, right now.

c. Raul, A cleric/priest (make up your religion, please!)

Broadstrokes of possible religion: At the heart of the earth sleeps titanic demon of fire, evil incarnate, who if he were to wake would spell the doom of the planet. To keep him asleep, he must be appeased with periodic ritual sacrifices of people at volcanoes, the places where the shell covering him grows weak and his fiery self pushes up to the surface. Humans aren't eligible since apparently we taste terrible to his unholy palate.

Your wars back at home to take sacrifices from neighbouring countries has left you on the brink of annihilation by a coalition of smaller non-human powers that have banded together to oppose you, so the military branch of your theocratic state turns its desperate gaze to more distant shores, rushing against time to escape doomsday.

((I wanna nitpick on the starting settlers. For genetic diversity in a population, need 462-468. Otherwise you end up with inbreeding and genetic stagnation.))

We know that now thanks to DNA research. In the colonial period? They didnt.

This is just what we start out with dude. They'll send more colonists once we've established a outpost. It's like how in DF you start with 7 dwarves and then get migrants later on.
