The Map
Just a fleeting idea I had. It would be quite interesting to play out life in the Caribbean back in the golden age of pirates. Spain (yellow on map), England (red), France (blue) and Holland (orange) are embroiled in a dirty political, economic and military conflict for imperial dominance over the new world, and they are willing to use any method to gain an advantage. Privateers, genuine pirates, merchants out to make a profit, ambitious governors and more have been let loose to make something of themselves. What will you be?
As you cane see, this is a bit of a sandbox-esque RP. Each city/town on the map will have a governor (who will by default be an NPC until a player claims a town/city) so you have the option of taking up the mantle of imperialism and leading a crusade to conquer the Caribbean for your respective nation. Or there is the option of making as much money for yourself as you can, accepting bribes, hiring privateers to plunder unfriendly (and friendly) ports and vessels for you, marrying of your daughter/son etc. for political gain or whatever. It all goes. And that's just if you want to be a governor. Of course, no matter how independent you are, the 'powers that be' have their own ideas, and every now and then they like to meddle a bit. And of course, we can't forget the natives. There's been talk of huge native rising, apparently they're not too happy with the enlightenment the white man has brought, the massive ships and guns and the destruction of what they see as their land (we all know it's ours really, you know, divine gift and whatnot.)
That's the general gist of it. I'll probably think of the more intricate details later. Warning that is there is interest this will NOT be starting until 10th June at the very earliest.
