Another Colonies 3.2 PBEM Looking for 2 players

[PinkyGen]

Moving on Merida and Chagres. Haitian forces, not seeing anything better to do, have seized a fortress outside of Puerto Caballo in Venezuela.

Reminder to El Lawrence, the people of Arabia call.

 

[Aravorn]

Moving units into place to seige the Canaries and Caribbean Islands.

Lots of trade to Paris from the New World. Lots of $

 

[PinkyGen]

Comrade, the Arab people need their Marshall as well.

REVOLUTION IN FRANCE, KING IS BEHEADED!
It appears the King and the citizenry of France are not one. The celebration over the mighty French Empire has apparently been shortlived. Irked by higher taxes and battlefield casaulties, and led by a newly prosperous middle class that has risen out of the industrial revolution, the French citizenry has risen up against their divinely appointed, yet aging King. An unruly mob dragged the King from his palace and beheaded him in the streets of Paris.
This has led to disorder throughout the entire empire, and food shortages in many cities. Calais and Le Harve are struggling to maintain order by temporarily hiring entertainers until their fleet elements can be safely returned to home port. We ask the English not to take over the ocean squares they were fishing in.

King's son, PinkyGen II elected President
Horrified at the actions of the mob, the newly formed Parliament elected the dead King's son, PinkyGen II as President. PinkyGen has promised to carry on the beneficial policies of past rule, but to bring prosperity to all. He also vowed to restore order throughout the empire.

Pirates Threaten Fort Pontcharr
Pirate dragoons have landed outside the fort, the gateway to the St. Lawrence. The attack caught the local govenor completely by surprise, peace had reigned on the island for so long, defenses are ill equipped to resist. It is expected the fort shall fall, and need to be reclaimed. Navy assault units are already on their way, though citizens clamour for their return to port.

Peace Signed with Spanish remants
Central America: One city destroyed, and Merida was occupied. However, the people grew tired of the war, and the unruly House forced PinkyGen to sign a peace with the Spanish. PinkyGen shall attempt to clear the Spanish remants out of the Americas, but will have to wait until the people are more willing.

To English: I suggest getting Democracy on your own, as gifting the tech will have you choose only then whether to have a revolution or not. Also, if you want to wipe out the Spanish, perhaps it is best to reduce science to 0 and forgo the tech.

 

[Aravorn]

I got it two turns ago, did you switch to Democracy?

Didn't it screw up your small cities on Sheild support?

If the War is over for France then are we going to continue?

No problem on fishing squares Ill try to remember to double check them.

If not and I screw up just let me know.

Ill play later this morning.

 

[PinkyGen]

Oh, switched governments, democracy is much more effective in running this large empire than a monarchy. I am willing to forgo the jungle Central American cities if this was my only chance to switch (not that it truly matters, since the game ends soon).

We can end it now, or you can go and gobble up the rest of the Spain. The past few turns have just been mopping up anyway. I thought a glorious revolution might give some finality to France's evolution.

 

[Aravorn]

OK lets call it quits.

Mopping up just gets boring after a while.

 

[PinkyGen]

Any Grand final statements, looking back at the history of 150 years?

 

[Aravorn]

The English King would like to thank the New French President for the support of the French people over the last 150 years.

Together we have found, conquered and settled a new world. And also purged it of our enemies.

I would also like to say this has been one of the funnest PBEM's I have been in.

And I'd also like to apologize to Yop one more time for screwing it up for him at the end. (You must admit though Yop that it was fun up to that point)

Once MP Colonies IV comes out we have to start up a game of that. We just need to find two more dedicated players because you really need someone to play the Swedes and Dutch for the game to be interesting.

Lets think about who that may be and we will talk Colonies again when version IV is released.

 

[Yop73]

It was fun indeed. Thanks both of you.
We could play Colonies 4 again together. Steve England, Pinky France and I Spain. What do you think?

Yep except we have to find reliable guys for the other two countries.

So try and think of some candidates! (The key word is reliable!) Thats the reason why this PBEM was so successfull, because we all made a promise to one another to play regularly.

Thanks again guys.

And PG I need tot alk to you offline sometime about RF demo and whether you want to be more involved or not.

 

[PinkyGen]

This is the best PBEM I've been in. Not only was it completed, but I feel sense something was actually accomplished. The New World is fully colonized by French and English settlers.
It was also a lot of fun and laid back.

English: Thank you for your support as well, together we conquered the world.

Spain: Yop, good game, sorry about attacking you at the end, but there wasn't much else to do. With five players, it will be harder for a 2 vs 1 to form like that.
