[OOC] The Age of Steam

[Keyguyperson]

*Rubs hands*

The world will one day bow to the economic power of the United Vanjanan Empire!

[darkwolf687]

You can hope sir, but hope doesn't equal power... >:)

[MrFoxNews]

No.... power equals power!

[WilsonTurner]

No...
dinosaurs!

[gowia]

I am writing up the first OOC post now that I have finished the map etc and have checked the quick check stats.

[darkwolf687]

Good to hear.

I have a protest to end, a continent to colonise, trade to step up and an empire/alliances to build, muhaha

[gowia]

And it is up...I would just like to remind you a max of three posts per season, no one liners to respond to a letter, they take time to arrive and send. If it is not at least a paragraph or two long it is not important enough to warrant taking up more room and will have to wait, also please put a summary hider at the bottom of your post for me. Research is completed when I say it is so nobody put up tat they are having their college of super brains discover the plane etc. Oh and one tiny thing...enjoy.

[darkwolf687]

Perfect. I will make my first post later, and send across my colony fleet. I cannot wait to gain a great man and use them to get me some cool tech to shove those natives off me landz

*rubs hands together*

Yes, colonies and land and riches and power

[darkwolf687]

Hm, one of my islands looks to be in place to become a trade hub if I play my cards right.

MONEY! lol

[Keyguyperson]

LET THEM EAT PI!!!!!!!1!!!!!!

(Don't even question this. It was totally justified.)

[darkwolf687]

Let them die for their country!

[WilsonTurner]

Once I invent the chainsaw, I will become all powerful...

[darkwolf687]

Uh... I just checked how much 100 pound was in this time period...

Well, they wont be protesting anymore, and will have a lot of money to spend.

[WilsonTurner]

I dunno what to put
The Mountaintop kingdom doesn't really have a lot of landmass or anything, so they're much more limited in terms of what they can do in colonization. Unless someone comes across and seemingly-impenetrable mountain range and decides to ring up the Alackians because of it, there's probably only a small chance of them actually colonizing the new continent.

Due to the size of the map, will there be another new continent to colonize on the bottom half of the map?

The UK of Great Britain set up 13 colonies om the west cost of the US, and others in Canada, many dozens in Africa and in India. Their Empire outstripped the other european empires, many of whom had larger home provinces and populations

Also, your countries position and geography might be beneficial to colonisation, as you may need less men and people to defend it against other powers and can thus afford to send more out to the colonies.

Besides, you could also do with spending that money on expansion in other area's, such are your relatively low GDP

The UK of Great Britain was the superpower at the time, and had one of the best navies and militaries at the time.

If there is a landmass south of the mainland, then I may just try to 'trade' with the island nations by doing what the Spanish explorers did- I'll go up and around to try and trade by bypassing the mainland completely. If there is landmass, they'll stumble right on to it.

[darkwolf687]

Sounds good

I want everyone to post so I can continue my economic efforts haha

No nation rp has gone well for me. It can only improve, right?

[darkwolf687]

Let's hope so. I can't wait to see how everyone responds... Especially the two in an uprising, hehe
