Admittedly, I had about 10,000 words written for the update and.. lost it.


Sorry to hear that. Unfortunate.

Updated the new IC reply. Almost 5,000 words. Should include almost everybody who did something significant.

Can we assume that it is the 1st of January 1837?

So check it out: if you have a plan for something, and the odds go in your favor, ANYTHING you leave out I have to make up for. Get it?

And yes, it is now 1837. One year has passed.

Also. Things intentionally go awry. If things went to plan every time this game would be sorely boring.

Overlooking the complete absence of any women or child at a military fortress, you won the battle. Nehalania lost it.

It's one thing for something to not go according to what was planned (unexpected troop placement, weather, morale, etc). It's is something entirely different when you cannot even rely on your soldiers to follow a plan.

Let me guess, you told him "We raid their colony, sparing only the women and children."

You've already established that your people, especially your warriors, kill men just for being men. What's gone wrong with what happened?

Because your forces are perfect and professional automatons who will follow your every order exactly, without fail or misinterpretation? Things didn't go as planned during the invasion of Kapitas. Do you hear me complaining?

No.

It's not about the killing. It's not about the brutality. It's not about winning. It's about knowing that "orders" will not be disregarded. If I detail an invasion path, unless there is an excuse why my orders were ignored, even if it's as lazy of an excuse as they took a wrong turn, I should be able to expect that there be some attempt to accomplish the plan.

Of course they're not automatons. But there was no explanation why the plan wasn't followed. There was no "they took a wrong turn". There was no "the commanders saw that the fort was less impressive as it was planned and attacked because of that". There was no "the commanders could not restrain their men from attacking due to the perceived weakness of the fort". From what was posted, the orders were not followed "just because".

Sounds good to me. I've already come up with a name for my new colonial holding. Also for anyone curious in a somewhat cliche fashion my first colonial holding in the New World is just New Braiyusal

Don't know what exactly you said in your order, so I'm not passing further judgement. Punish them for disobedience IC, and make the best of it.

Go for it.

Although it wasn't originally apart of my plan, the timeline scheme may be fruitful for chronology as well as ensuring everybody's actions are "handled."

Also, I'm going to incorporate a minor economic system so everyone knows where their nation stands and why factories are important.

Otherwise, go on into 1837!
