[QUOTE=Ruskie;35670946]I'm starting to see a correlation between how poor a nation is and how hostile they are.[/QUOTE] Oh my god, this explains Van Kaeo.

Kamikaze and Asantos have until 4:30pm GMT to send in their turns. (When I post the turn.) They also have until 1540 ingame to send in a turn, or else their colony will become an NPC and legible for another player to play as that colony.

EVENTS OF 1532-1536 -A treaty between Austria and the Ottoman Empire is signed, giving the Ottomans virtual control of Hungary. -Ivan 4th becomes Tsar of Russia. -A group of Christian fundamentalists seize Munster, forcibly baptising the residents and exiling others. It is re-captured a year later. -Martin Luther's translation of the complete Christian Bible into German appears. -The first complete English-language Bible is printed in Antwerp, with translations by William Tyndale and Miles Coverdale. -Dissent rises in the Netherlands, as the Habsburgs struggle increasingly to maintain control. -German metalworkers roughly work out how to cheaply turn silver ore into pure silver by using mercury. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2b/Flag_of_Milan.svg/300px-Flag_of_Milan.svg.png[/img] [b]Kingdom of England – Mr Face[/b] -Henry 8th is excommunicated by the pope for marriage to Anne Boleyn. -He begins to pass a series of laws and reforms, becoming more stronger, despotic and autocratic in his control of England. -The English Parliament passes the Act of Supremacy establishing Henry VIII as supreme head of the Church of England. -Wales and England are combined in an act of Union. -The monasteries are dissolved, and the new religion begins to be vigorously enforced. -The King sends a strong letter to Denmark, demanding why North America is being colonised. The Danish monarch responds by telling him that he cannot have all of those vast expanses. Perhaps a deal could be worked out? [b][I]New England – Mr Face[/I][/b] -The monarch demands that his colonies adhere to the state religion, or else face penalties. -Silver exports continue to expand massively, but is heavily limited by the native smelters who produce it too slowly. Potosi nonetheless grows due to no checks on population control. It soon becomes the largest city in the New World. -Silver exports to China has resulted in the English colonies becoming a premier source of manufactured Chinese goods. -As the colony becomes increasingly wealthy and more powerful, there are clamours for a ruling system to be put in place. Some areas elect assemblies, others have autocratic governors. There is a question as to which system is superior. -Cacao beans begin to be planted in Peru, which is exported back to Europe. The King particularly likes this new beverage, claiming it to superior to “Popish coffee” -Explorers by this point have explored the entire Eastern seaboard of North America, there is nothing left to do but move inland, north of Newfoundland or west of Florida. -Trading begins with Spanish colonies after their explorers find each other. -The Boston colony grows quite rapidly, and another is established at the mouth of the Blåtand Floden. -The city of Manilla begins to grow rapidly with an influx of Chinese immigrants, as the silver trade begins to make this massive city wealthy. Tensions rise. Between the Europeans and Asians.

It had been somewhat expected. -The monarch, through silver imports, manages to gain vast spending powers. [img]http://i.imgur.com/u5WHm.png[/img] [b][I]Companhia das Quinas Americanas - Mountainwatcher[/I][/b] -The crown begins to send increasing naval presences to help maintain her colonies, as a massive area of land slowly comes under Company control. This area eventually becomes called “Greater Brazil” by most observers. -Some exploration of the Dutch East Indies is conducted, setting up various trading routes in the process, and moving some plants and pathogens around too. -In order to cut down on Malaria, vegetation is cleared, the land tilled, drainage channels dug and basic sanitation measures put in place. Houses are also forced by law to have good ventilation, stable foundations and the such. Although many of these measures are unpopular and costly, the death rate due to malarial diseases drops from around 30-40% to 10-15%. This is the lowest it can go until the discovery of quinine in several centuries time. -This however slows down expansion as measure take time to implement. Nonetheless the Portuguese manage to expand until they reach areas literally impossible to colonise and with no economic value. -A statue is built in Recife to depict the bollocking of a French Diplomat. -As tobacco and coffee production increases, a labour shortage issue arises. Unfortunately the shortage of labour is due to a lack of slaves, which the colony is reluctant to import. -Silver production increases, and some mercury deposits are also found. Unfortunately native smelters produce silver far too slowly for Portuguese needs. -Coca begins to be exported for use in medicine as an anaesthetic. -The Portuguese also set up in the Philippines like the English, and begin to sell silver and other goods to the Chinese. Some spices are also planted and begin exportation. -Strong border controls are set up along the French border. [img]http://i.imgur.com/EtppI.jpg[/img] [b][I]Cienia of Niesmiertelni - Asantos[/I][/b] -Not much happens, minus existing colonies growing and expanding to cater to traders and explorers moving up and down the Pacific coast. -Nicaragua is gradually and eventually colonised. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/Flag_of_New_Spain.svg/200px-Flag_of_New_Spain.svg.png[/img] [b]Kingdom of Spain – Canuhearme[/b] -The Habsburg monarchy profits well from the imports of gold and silver, using it to fund wars increasingly. -The navy is reformed to provide for better ships, tactics and administration. [img]http://i.imgur.com/yDuHZ.png[/img] [b][i]El gremio de comerciantes en el Nuevo Mundo – Canuhearme[/i][/b] -Some explorers and traders, wishing to make some spice and cut in on the English silver trade, set up a colony in western Borneo and soon the Chinese junks start flocking to the town. -Despite some initial setbacks with supplies and logistics, the Chinese traders gladly help make up the gap, and the local people provide assistance too. -Large and powerful galleons begin to be utilised by the company for naval use. Pirates don't dare go near these giant bastards. -Silver and gold mines are set up throughout existing holdings in greater numbers. Unfortunately the production of silver is still limited by current techniques which are too slow. -Kaolinite begins to be produced, and it is understood that it is used in porcelain production, but the technique is not known. Without much other use, it is used to make paints and plasters. -Laws against Protestants are loosened slightly, allowing them to at least live in Spanish colonies without getting lynched. -Salt mines are set up in Yucatan. -Although slavery is going strong in Cuba, a centre of sugar production, it is decided to not utilise them as much in Borneo. -Cavalry begins to be integrated into the military quite extensively. -The Brunei sultanate begins to send representatives and traders to the Spanish colony.

[b][i]New France – Ruskie[/i][/b] -More construction materials and ships are purchased by the colony, which has now become a minor naval power in the south Atlantic. -Firearms and manufactured goods production steps up, and the colony becomes increasingly self-sufficient for most needs. (Minus people) -The colonial army is expanded, providing regiments of foot soldiers and dragoons. The latter frequently patrol borders and help keep the natives at bay who are adopting European tactics and weapons increasingly. -3 men are sent to Recife, and call the Portuguese rustled Ronalds. They have vegetables thrown at them. -The slave trade expands, with the French ships buying massive numbers of African slaves and shipping them off to be sold in colonies up north. This proves to be immensely profitable. -Farms, roads, traders and various other assortments of societies finest and worse push their way into Argentina. [img]http://i.imgur.com/XM6BF.jpg[/img] [b][i]Nouvelle-France – Kamikaze[/i][/b] -Minus expansion of existing facilities, not much else goes on.

The Hanseatic league is soundly defeated, permanently ending their power and influence. -The kingdom is reformed, unifying Norway and Denmark. -A new company is formed to take advantage of business to be done abroad. The founder has a heavy Irish accent and speaks Danish poorly. [b]Lady of the Sea Shipbuilding Co – UrbanMachismo[/b] -The explorers push north along the Blåtand Floden, encountering new tribes. They swap many things such as trading goods, recipes and diseases. -Maize, potatoes, sweet potatoes and various other crops are planted in the colony. -Livestock are imported, and do well in the fertile river valley they find themselves in. -Tobacco, radish and lettuce plantations are set up in a crop rotation style, helping to preserve the soil, produce food and increase production. Nonetheless land is still demanded for cultivation that forces the colony to spread outwards as more people come in. -Some vineyards are set up for wine growing, but sugar cane does not do too well here, especially as the climate cools. -A whaling station and mission is established in Greenland, to keep Danish claims in the area strong. -Some trading posts start popping up along the river as the Danish work inland, and trading gets underway. -The colony is quite friendly to natives, offering them goods in return for helping with some agricultural work, exploration and various other tasks. Given the few military resources owned and used by the Danish, this colony seems quite peaceful relative to other ones. [img]http://change-production.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/wordpress_copies/uspoverty/2010/10/dcCarrotmobFlag-250x150.jpg[/img] [b]Arla Culinary – Van Kaeo[/b] -The company, with initial capital, sets about gathering up colonists and supplies in the madness of the Danish reformation. -A colony is established on the southern tip of the island of Sumatra, opposite Java in the area of Lampung. -Explorers begin to push inland, slightly annoying the local rulers. -Representatives of the growing Aceh sultanate make contact with the Danish colony. -Spice production begins, and exports trickle back to Europe. -Slaves from Africa are also imported, and treated in the French manner at some expense. -As farms and some livestock is set up, various new foods are also planted and utilised. Most of the plants are spices, which are highly profitable. -The Banten Sultanate, also growing, establishes contact with the Danish and their sudden intrusion into the area. -Various other traders, visiting mostly for the silver brought by the Spanish, Portuguese and English, also trade occasionally with the Danish colony in Lampung. [b]Ecological/Economic/Social/etc events[/b] -As monasteries are dissolved and lands seized throughout Europe by the state, many poor persons once cared for by the monasteries are now living on the streets. Unemployment begins to soar, and many seek to emigrate or join armies and navies. -Armies begin to become more proletarianised, as the skills needed for war become more useless. -Drilled units of arquebuses and pikes begin to dominate the battlefields. The warrior class of knights is vanishing. -Cannons become common on all ships, and have begun to appear below deck. -An economic boom results in China becoming more and more economically powerful. Whole fields of mulberry trees are planted, and villages grow into groups of silk factories. -American crops leak into China (Despite wanting to keep out foreign people, they let in their plants.) Fields of maize, sweet potatoes and various other crops begin to be planted. -Asians, Europeans, Africans and Native Americans have now begun to meet each other in the New World. (Mainly on the Pacific coast of European colonies.) Tensions between different groups begin to slowly emerge, as thousands of years of separate development is disrupted. -World demand for silver begins to skyrocket. -Native tribes of the New World have acquired sufficient numbers of guns and horses to enact raids and warfare on a rather dangerous scale. Old peoples are wiped out as the new come on European horses. -Global trading networks have finally fallen into place, enacting the start of globalised trade. -Potatoes begin to be cultivated in Europe for eating purposes. Adoption is slow however. -Global cooling has reached the stage where Polar bears and Eskimos now visit Scotland on occasion.

How do the military uniforms for our companies look? Are they identical to our kingdoms at the time, or is there room for designing our own snappy looks? Actually, what did Spain wear during this time period? The closest I could find was something like this: [img]http://www.ferprad.com/images/images_extra/ARCABUCERO%201535%20-%20120%20mm%20%284%29.jpg[/img]

I really wanted to continue playing this game but my life got away with a special flavor, with smells like perfume and soft water coming down her blue eyes with a softness of snow and beauty of Cristiano Ronaldo plays and the beast skills of Onyewu and Gattuso. With a heart and a face full of pure beauty i hope she dreams and lives by my heart as i live by her's.

Why can't you just say "I have a girlfriend" like a normal person instead of trying to be poetic and sappy?

[QUOTE=Ven Kaeo;35676906]Why can't you just say "I have a girlfriend" like a normal person instead of trying to be poetic and sappy?[/QUOTE] Because i don't have a girlfriend.

Then don't say sappy poetic shit that makes it sound like it. Weirdy

So, ven's new colony is a food corporation's and yet, he isn't going to plant taters.

I think we all learned our lessons in the New World about the dangers of introducing plants and animals into the native environment.

Yup. I definitely learned my lesson.

I have a feeling next turn will have us see the first instance of company/company warfare.

Which means there'll be markets takin the plunge... huehuehueHUEHUEHUIE

3 turns in. If you all kept playing for another 10 turns I'll add the Netherlands and the rest of the Malays.

Who has their turns in?

It only takes 10-15 minutes after reading the results of the last turn to write one up. Kind of odd there's only 3 turns in when everyone who's in this have posted since the last turn in this thread.

[QUOTE=Ven Kaeo;35685865]Who has their turns in?[/QUOTE]Not me, that's for sure.
