Colonists, your country needs you!!

Hi everybody!!!

In reaction to Pellaken's Anti-Naval Coalition and the founding of the War Church, I have decided to found the Organization of All Colonists and Frontierspeoples

Our job, gentlemen, is to encourage the colonization of all profitable islands, regions as quickly and ruthlessly as possible. We will take all that we can for the benefit of the Empire and nobody will stop us from driving the savages (off roleplay: goody huts, barbarians) or infidels (off roleplay: other civs) from the lands which the Higher Beings (who is/are the higher being, anyway?, or are we an atheist state?) granted us upon the creation of the world. Spread civilization and peace to all the lands!!! That is our mission.

We will push for the researching of naval technologies (especially transport)(duh! were on an island) as soon as possible and for the construction of tons of settlers/engineers without draining food and causing starvation. I think it might be a good idea to work closely with the War Church because our common interest is destroying enemies and claiming land for ourselves.

In this organization, all members must relocate once in a while to the cities of the frontier, and not stay behind in the mother country!!! Really, this is only for roleplay purposes.

First items on the agenda, when shall we build ships, should we build Lighthouse when it comes up?!

This Colonist's position is when the mother country is decently populated and secure. Then, COLONIZE!!
Lighthouse, eh, I don't feel it is absolutely vital, let's explore lands close enough to our islands and we're fine for now.
Seafaring would be a good idea, cuz explorers can give us good intelligence on what to expect, however, we should research the basics.

However, I'm no good at Civ2 yet (No, I will not try to be Expansion Man or deputy), so I'll (and so will the rest of the Empire, if they know what's good for them) appreciate the opinions and advice of other eager Colonists.


Colonist Roll Call:

actually, if you check some of the original threads in this forum, you'll find this is similar to the way I play I build only settlers untill the city has settled 3 other cities, THEN I start building improvements. I keep doing this untill I have the lands I want. then I keep 1 settler in each city for public works {roads, mines}

perhaps this is what you mean, or do you require a military to back you up? if not, I will join.

Pellaken, the key word here is ruthlessly. In other words, force will be used as and when necessary. However I am already wearing two hats, so I'll have to give this a miss.

The War Church fully supports the OACF and will coorperate closely with the esteemed organisation for the furthermore of our Empire. Only a Strong Empire can support a Strong Military!!!

Sorry Pellaken, but Knight-Dragon is right. The Colonists are commited to maintaining a powerful offensive army in the Colonies, to complement an excellent defense as in your strategy. With this, we shall push back the savages and drive out the infidels from OUR Colonies. However, even if you don't like war, please consider joining and contribute your ideas to the organization. This is a democracy after all, and we all seek the benefit of the Empire. The main purpose of the OACF is to discuss issues of colonization before the voting begins, in order to help our Expansion officials put good choices.

To summarize, we (well so far it's I) are flexible. All we want is to take continents and regions exclusively for ourselves to exploit.

Well, it seems the mission of the Watchers is being fullfilled already. Yes!

Click to expand...

How come no one has relocated yet even though we have three cities now? Also how do we change whcih city we are in?

That's a good question, how do we relocate?

As for you're other question, I'm just waiting till our settlers get out of the mother island. Then we'll see, right now i'm just trying to recruit. Doesn't seem so successful yet, ohwell.

Update: Relocate here

And it seems people are already moving into TheHolyDuckPond. I will stay in Olympia to organize the Colonists and wait till the ships start sailing...

Redefining priorities a slight bit:

jumbo2002 has convinced me of the wisdom of seeing what we're up against. The OACF now supports Exploration and Recon to see where we should NOT colonize. Thsi Colonist believes Colonists shall first colonize parts which are totally off the reach of the infidels and bring the army anyway to subdue the savages. As the colonies get stronger and the infidels are contained, then we shall start taking land from infidels which we think could be profitable for the Empire. Or something like that.

Look, all the OACF strives to achieve is the most efficient and above all, ruthless way to make a profit off other lands.
All that I and anybody else who would care to join or align have to do is Watch so that we are constantlhy moving and never stopping.

OACF goals:

Plenty of transports
Strong Navy to protect our Trading and Colonizing Interests
Trade, Trade, Trade! The way which gives the most money is the best way, whatever it is!
Wise Exploration and Colonization
Defense of the Colonies from savages

Meetings are an excuse to drink and play cards!!
As a matter of fact, since every other organization seems to have their own little membership smilie, here it is:
Enjoy the profits!

Any strategies that achieve this goal will be considered and discussed!

Well, I'm off to fix my bow.....

almighty king!! sign me up!! I desire to join you!!! I will sail to the newlands {first city off-island} and begin doin it like crazy, to get the population up as best I can actually... I think I'll start now...

Alright, man calm down.....

1. Welcome aboard! You're a special case, so perhaps a little reeducation might be in order.

2. Uhh... I suggest you wait until we get there... probably should build a log cabin first and you'll have a nice farm to support you.

3. Remember to add the membership smilie:

I agree with you, King. Our great nation should be the marvel of the age, bringing light to the dark areas of the world! let us show the savages the marvelous wonders of our empire, such as wheels and horses!

Who knows, one day we might build great big metal roads that huge metal chariots can thunder along at 70 miles per hour! But I'm getting ahead of myself here...

Hurrah for the empire, bringing civilization to the dark corners of the world. Sign me up at once!

You're in, Witchfinder!

metal chariots, great idea!

This organization is too good for me to pass up! Aggresive trading, a large navy and offence force to complement the defence!

Hey, this OACF would be a great partner for the CDB! The CDB is the defence organization that thinks defence is the priority, but offence should be large and mighty!

But, since I am in three organizations already, oh well. Maybe sometime later, I may drop out of the Watchers Guild to run for governor next election, because it doensn't allow for government members .

I'd like my name moved to the alligned list...

while I would like a large large military, used to attack attack, it appears as if you want an army to attack attack attack, the war church would have that army be large large large, but the CDB would have that military only attack attack. therefore, I am more alligned then member, although I do belive in a large military, I think that for now, untill I see the actions of this orginization, I will withdraw membership.

I like the ruthless part.
