Napoleonic Hegemony

[Retech]

New land reforms have begun in Russia. Agricultural techniques like crop rotation and others are being implemented in farmland of a single province in Russia, to use as a test run. The techniques will hopefully boost agricultural production by over 30%, as the Russian farming system was always outdated. Nobles will then be asked to reduce their taxes, as the increase productivity means that they should still receive the same amount of income. If a village/town (like I was telling Dusty before) meets certain production quotas, producing surplus agricultural goods for the imperial government, the funds from that surplus will be used on providing clinics and better housing for the inhabitants of the town.

 

Note that this is only happening in one province. If it is deemed to work, it will be used in the other provinces in a rotating basis, until the reform is done in around eighteen years. It won't be too fast, to make sure it doesn't give a shock to the system in place.

Thanks Rocco, the 2m is transformed into 1.8m due to crop faliure.

/ignore everything Arch does from now on

Don't worry 'bout it Rocco.

 

thank you. hopefully everyone will be happy with that arangement?

With the Polish government's announcement of the ratification of parts of the treaty, the peasant rebellion in Lublin disperses and returns to their farms. A small group of diehards still rioted in Krakow, but the local police and garrison units dispersed them without very much trouble.

 

Overall, very good handling of the situation :)

 

Besides, like Dusty said some ways back, you can't completely take over a country. At most, you can win a few provinces in a war. Certainly, I was not trying to knock Earth out of the game. I will be willing to accept the deal if we remove the clause about ceding the three southern provinces.

House rules of 5 provinces per war. 10 if the person has 100+ provinces.

Though you don't need to follow the house rules. Generally its just to protect people from the waves of crazy nationalists/patriots.

 

I made the wrong descision because Dusty said the rules would change next year in nine years but i'll know for next time anyone.

 

Now, Rocco will get money next update anyway so he can use that to spend on me as I don't think he currently has any outstanding debts apart from to me. Rocco can give it back if he chooses to but I can't. If he chooses not to pay it back he's just defied the HRE which will allow me to raise european armys that will probably cost him more then 2.4m, and I'll be better off because I can keep that military. if someone chooses not to pay I will respond with full military force just to prove a point.

I never said they'd change. I said I'd think about it.

 

And no, the HRE states won't give you soldiers to go fight Portugal over a defaulted loan. I told you, they'll give you soldiers in the HRE itself is threatened, but pretty much for nothing else.

 

Are there any colonies that give better bonuses? Like if we have a profitable sugar colony or something?

From random events yea. Otherwise it just gets overly complicated and nobody really follows it anyways.

 

I just realised I own the Gibraltar Strait, which was one of the main areas people were fighting for in YOH, is this significant in anyway? Like I can tax trade to increase profit?

No, it's more of a strategic piece of land. Even in YOH I had both sides of the strait so I just closed them in order to provoke people into attacking me.

 

You can shoot cannons at ships crossing though.

Updated the map for the new colonies.

Spain - all three succeeded (the natives were fairly appreciative of your trinkets)

Portugal - both succeeded

Russia - two succeeded, one failed

There are grumblings from the bourgeoisie and noble classes, but until these new reforms become more widespread they won't do anything but voice their rejection of these new policies.

There are rumours that the Dutch are attempting to expand the Dutch Water Line.

And Rocco you get:

Oh, and we'll be doing the 6 day budget reset. So, 2nd of July is next reset

[Retech]

Can I choose which two of them succeeded?

 

 

 

 

I tell the wealthy that a healthy and vibrant serf class could only benefit them. Since before, the nobles were taking large sums from the already poor peasants, making a peasant revolt a likely result. Now, the nobles are making just as much money and retain just as much power, but the serfs won't nearly be as oppressed, meaning that the likelyhood of revolution would be a far cry of where it was before.

 

As compensation to the nobles and bourgeoisie, their most talented sons will be sent to the top military school, in preparation for officership in the army that Russia will be raising within a few years. Also, half of the land in Alaska (the two provinces that were settled) are divided among the nobles and bourgeoise, in some ratio so that the more powerful ones get more land, but not so much that the others feel bad.

 

Is this acceptable to them?

Good news, but have we not heard back from the team moving up the Californian coast?

 

Remaining 280,000 goes to training an additional 280 line infantry for the Army of Spain.

[Icuownage]

Russia has finally stepped onto American soil!!!! It's... Amazing :o..

 

Anywho, I cut the research budget in half, meaning that only 2.5 million is in research, giving me an extra 2.5 million.

 

2 million of that goes into two more colonisation trips.

 

 

The Canadian army thing goes with them

 

Leaving me with around 940K.

 

I buy a cannon for the Redcoats

 

440K remaining.

[Earth]

i have to figure out how to designate my stuff on the map.. whatever. i purchase 3 genrals and three admirals. i buy a frigate each for he admirals.

No. It's on the front page though, so you can see which two did.

They feel it is acceptable for now. They then ask how they may exploit the natives in Alaska.

Sorry, can you repost that message about California? I can't find it.

Technically it's Russian soil now :P

 

Both colonization trips succeeded, however...

General _________ (Cavalry commander)

Admiral _________

Admiral _________

Admiral _________ (Defensive doctrine)

[Icuownage]

No matter, if they succeeded.

 

Hmm I spend 200K preserving the Indian holy land so they're content and less likely to attack us.

That's rather expensive. Don't you want to build up a land army?

 

 

 

Land reforms begin. They'll just be ongoing, but it should be a decent rate. Catherine recommends that they bring beads and food from Russia, trading it for furs and seal skin. She figures that the beads are basically worthless for Russians but trading would have a higher output than enslaving them, as they would feel that they were getting something for it.

 

Otherwise, as long as each action has a purpose and isn't atrocious, they can go ahead making huge profits on furs.

[Nero]

Oh dang :/. Didn't the Canadian army do anything :S!

The natives were gone by the time they marched all the way from Canada to the American midwest in the middle of winter...

 

(normally colonies have colonial militias that are drawn from the able bodied men there, but since this was a new colony this one did not - these militias are drawn automatically so you don't need to tell me you're raising them btw)

 

I warned you about Natives... During American Westward Expansion, armies of Native Americans killed many American soldiers and generally caused a [cabbage] ton of havoc. You're also infringing on Comanche territory, who are probably considered one of the top 2 most hostile, warlike tribes (possibly behind the Sioux).

Yep, there's also a spot of nastiness in store for anyone that tries to push too far into the Amazon rainforests.

 

And for anyone curious about the native tribes in North America:

i have an army semi built up. but not sure what to get. hegenomies are always soo confuzzling.

[Iconic]

Dusty, Here I spent my money on soldiers, can you add them to the front page or let me reasign them please, I didn't ask about the Tuzers am I allowed to have half as many line infantry leaving me with 7700 more line infantry.

I also hire five generals five admirals, my budget is now 600,000

[Iconic]

He does because if you look at the front page people have their armys of Canada and two armys when at the start they only had one army.

Some people have far flung lands that need defending, so they got a smaller secondary army for those. For example, I got an army of Siberia, even though I did not purchase it.

[Nero]

Didn't Portgual have an Indian colony during this time period?

They did and it's on the map. I just forgot to change it to the new purple colour.

[Iconic]

I mean the army of london.

So you only get an update if a seperate army is in a different colony?

 

Edit: and can I please change my Tuzers to Line infantry leaving me with 7700 more 15,700 line infantry

Edit: Retech, the army of Greece was added afterwoods.

[Retech]

I meant that some people STARTED with two armies.

 

-----

 

Weren't the Tuzers half the cost of line infantry?

[Nero]

Oh okay. That works then.

 

EDIT: Do ships have a deployment cost?

Yep, same as infantry - 10% of their initial cost. Naval engagements are pretty rare though.

The Tuzers are fine, since they're just cheaper versions of line infantry. I won't add them to the front page though since they're one of your unique units and the front page is for units anyone can recruit.

 

You're buying 7770 more line infantry? And 1m in generals/admirals? Don't you have um...no money?

 

I mean the army of london.

Ahhh I see, you're changing the Tuzers to line infantry. Okay. You get 7700 less though...

 

And after this you can't just change troops into different things on a whim.

Edel, all the armies in that second post have been there from the start. I've edited the post once, and that was to put them all in a hide window.

[Iconic]

Now that the bear riding, worrys about silly units and all that stuff is over I can relax.

 

I recieved the money I lent to Rocco back so I had 2m but than I had crop faliure so I have 1.8, in the end I will have 800,000

[Retech]

Does anyone have a map to Asia and the middle east for this time period? All those random colors are confusing me. :P

[Nero]

1. Does my -10% ship cost apply to deployment costs?

2. If someone attacked me, would I have to pay deployment to defend?

No and yes

[Nero]

What I mean is do I pay 10% of the actual cost (1m) or do I pay 10% of what I paid (900k)?

Oh you pay 10% of what you paid, so 90K.
