White man came
Across the sea.
He brought us pain
And misery.
He killed our tribe
He killed our creed
He took our game
For his own needWe fought him hard
We fought him well
Out on the plains
We gave him hell
But many came
Too much for we
Oh will we ever
Be set freeRunning through dust clouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their homes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom and stab in the back
Women and children the cowards attackRun to the hills!
Run for your lives!
Run to the hills!
Run for your lives!Hernan Cortres comes through at last. Free transport, sans tax. Pity it's only 300 pesos.
I need guns. Lots of guns. So the armory at Boatmurdered has been upgraded to a Magazine.
For all my groaning about it in the OP, I raze three Apache camps in as many turns. I've got speed, firepower, and numbers. Unfortunately, the Apaches are nomads (by name at least) so they don't really have any treasure. Not that I'm sniffing at 400 pesos a village.
Oh son of a bitch. I
finally start churning out guns, and the iron's gone. I was about to show you guys what a model of labor efficiency it was too.
Oh son of a bitch. I
finally start churning out cash, and the silver's gone. I was abo-
WHAT THE FUCKBoth the mineral patch and the silver vein were exhausted on the
same turn. RAAAGGGE
Damn Dutch have started nosing around my business. I might have to kick their asses again soon.
For shits and giggles, I tried demanding tribute at the capitol hut. After burning another village.
Bay 12 now has a drydock, so I don't have to worry as much about my Privateers getting damaged.
Screw gloating, I went ahead and did it. 1200 pesos. Time to buy a frigate, before the AI does.
Well whaddaya know. Boy will they be mad when I build a couple more towns around them.
I'm bored and bloodthirsty so I'm picking fights with the Dutch. They won't bite yet.
Which of you can tell me why this picture is scary? Good thing I'm never going there.
CHA-CHING! When the load of horses I nabbed from the British arrives, I'll
So I tried to count up how many Dragoons I had, when the program froze again. My last save was right before my successful attack on the French ship. I tried to repeat it
8 12 25 40 fucking times, and every time my Privateer was damaged. I give the fuck up. I'll get them next turn, but like hell will I give the RNG the pleasure of damaging my ship.
Next turn I steal them just fine, and immediately save. As a bonus, I even sunk the ship.
That's five Dragoons, two Cannons, and a Frigate. Let's see what happens when I demand tribute.
I wanted him to declare war, but screw it. I'm just gonna attack. CANNONS MAKE READY!
Beat the broke bastards without a scratch, though I lost some horses fighting their roving units.
Name open to suggestion. Weirdly, a Veteran was doing menial work in town, despite an abundance of horses and guns. I've pressed everybody back into service as Dragoons under the Spanish flag.
The Dutch sue for peace later that same turn, but I don't care. I'm kicking ass while I can.
Me robbing a Galleon. Oh why must I choose? Took guns and tools, because I always need more.
Twas in the year two thousand eight
Yo ho, me boys, ya har!
We did hoist the Jolly Roger
And set sail from Somali-ar!
Landlubbers everywhere were sure
Amazed at what we did!
We nicked a super-tanker and asked
For twenty five million quid!
So load up your Kalashnikovs
Yo ho, me boys, ya har!
We're the pirates of the sea to the north-
-East of Africar!I'm the awesomest commander ever. The Dutch sue for peace again when I hunt down their Dragoons. I accept, because I already have all their shit.
It's only been a dozen turns, but it's taken me hours (I was watching Gangs of New York over my shoulder). I was desperately defending four cites with three horsemen and a cannon from two nations and a whole tribe. Now I've slaughtered half the Apache nation and conquered all of New Netherlands I could find. A good day. Maybe the French next...
