I'll take the Brazilian country. I'll pick a specialty soon.

Don't want to miss out on this. Ill take Florida.

The reset is tomorrow: 8th

 

80% Chance

Hah, the gang's all here!

 

I'm happy, this is a game worthy of uniting the forum.

 

Anywho, I'd like to try claiming those colonies please. :)

My colonies will be claimed right before the reset, for the record.

 

80% chance of success for each, right?

Yes

 

Ross; yes, 80%

 

I roll a number between 1 and 100. If the number is 81 or above, the colony falls. If the colony is 80 or below, the colony survives. I will always use this system.

 

Please tell me if I missed something when confirming your new budgets. :P

 

Nex:

 

 

Rolls: 53, 97, 60, 68. What follows is pure story.

 

The Colonies of Ottawa, Kespek, and Pennacook all prepared thier soil dilligently for their harvests, their residents remained faithful and prosperous; so when it was announced, 4 years on from when the colonies were founded, that the home empire would no longer support them; their people shrugged, carried on, and survived as autonomous provinces.

 

But... the province of Stadcona did not fare so well. Though it's people tried hard, there were some, notably Louis Caspprel that did not work for the good of the colony. In it's 4th year, Caspprel was caught tainting the land, and stealing chickens. Though he was convicted, and sentenced to death, his work was done, and when the homeland stopped supplying the colony; it could not survive.

 

New budget: 16m

 

Retech:

 

 

Rollls: 3, 90, 20, 10

 

The colonies of Zapotec, Nicaragua and Choco were all prosperous: notably Choco, supplied by trade galleons rather than roads to the colony, a port has developed on the province.

 

But again; disaster befell the colony of Yucatan; a plague stroke down hundreds of it's thousand inhabitants, leaving nobody to work the fields in their final year. So when the call came; there was no surprise when the final inhabitants of the colony abandoned their homesteads and returned to the prosperous provinces of Spain.

 

New budget: 16m

 

Ross:

 

 

Rolls: 86, 33

 

Alas, the colony of Havana fell to a fire which raged across it's crops in the third year, leaving them unable to grow anything. Desperately hungary, the colony was unable to cope when the main government cut off the chain; unaware of the state of the colony.

 

But hope was not all lost: The colony of Moron grew into a happy, medium settlement of hovels and inns, with lush farmland all around. It's people prepared well for their winters and their autonomy; with grain stores 15 feet high, well stocked, and sugar cane their source of income from the main provinces.

 

New budget: 12m

I'll do that too.

 

The benefit outweighs the risk.

 

I get 80% as well, right? Or is that from bonuses or something?

So, when's tomorrow for you Dungeon?

 

Also, why did you make lower rolls better? :(

 

Heh, actually, I'm pretty happy with this.

 

Also, does budget carry over? If not, I'll attempt to colonize that area once more and then call it immediately.

Tomorrow is 7-8AM GMT, because until then I'm aware it's still the day before for my Ameribros, even if I pass midnight

 

I randomly chose higher rolls to be unsuccessful before I rolled

 

Budget does carry over.

So basically budget hasn't actually reset yet?

Is my budget 14 million? As my two colonies had 100% chance (something I paid 2.5 million for, and is stated in the rules).

Hrmph, I still colonize the lost province. I think... I'll try claiming it as well. I don't have access to my new budget yet, right?

 

For more heavily populated areas, think we could have NPC forces? Perhaps a chance for a province/provinces to form a nation?

I claim my 3 colonies as provinces. I colonized them on day 1, so that gives me a 90% chance I think?

Budgets are reset tomorrow morning

 

Yes, Icu

 

Nex:

 

Roll: 48

 

Congratualations! Following an appeal to the king, Stadcona received volumes of aid. The province was swarming with troops, all swapping their muskets for the spades; and the crops were soon planted. Come the Autumn, full fields were standing all over the province. Celebrations throughout; the colony become autonomous.

 

New budget: 18m.

 

80% Dusty. Do you still want to call them?

 

Yes; I've designated provinces - which will be kept secret - which either have a bonus upon colonisation; or a native army.

Can we send troops with our colonizations, to protect the settlers? Also, can you invade an uncontrolled region and take it by military force?

 

 

And what does the port do? :)

No. No. Nothing; actually; call it a 10% bonus against naval invasions.

 

What I wrote was just story. You could ignore it if you wanted. The success of your colony's destiny was purely decided by the roll, I'm afraid.

Then how do you get rid of the native armies?

 

Edit: Yippee :)

I see.

 

Yeah; all right then. You can send your military with the settlers.. But they won't do anything but protect them; they won't increase their chance of survival

Okay, awesome. I just don't want my settlers to be owned repeatedly as they try to colonize a place that I can't invade. :thumbup:

 

 

Could we get an idea of how large the "average" native army would be?

I'll roll between 1 and 10 and it will be that many thousand

 

But native armies will be in packs of 3 or 4, in bordering tiles.

Does that mean I get some extra soldiers or a militia bonus in my newest province? :)

So we'll have like 40,000 soldiers maximum attacking us? Uh oh. What's their approximate value?

All right. 500 Militia. Makes sense I guess.

 

Ross: You get a food bonus in your next colonisation; the granaries are overflowing! Next colony has a 20% increased chance of survival.

 

I would be grateful if everyone could do this for me:

Designate a 'capital province'. Your armies can be deployed in a one tile radius on all bordering tiles of this province. PM me this.

 

Yes; but they won't attack you until you have killed their first army. So at most 30,000 in one battle. And you will know about it!

For the capital province, you mean that we can't station troops in other provinces?

You can; but when you create an army you can only deploy it in one of these provinces, and then march it.
