Chapter Two: Just After Chapter One
Year 1617. Texas!!!
A barren desert. Nothing in sight, apart from a few cactuses and bushes.
One second later.
Nothing yet.
A week later.
Spanish conquistadors have decided to grab some land. Led by one Samuel de Soum-Ting, they crossed into Queztal League territory. Everything was peaceful here, it seemed.
The Queztal forces patrolled their border very well, and found the incursion. Soon, more forces were brought in. They waited on the sand, in the desert, not noticing the heat, for how can dead notice it?
De Soum-Ting did not suspect anything. Well, he did expect an Indian attack, but he expected it to be some idiotic savages with war cries and clubs. But what came was this - calm, well-trained well-disciplinned local troops who fought not noticing the heat or pain. Horrified, and sure that it is the work of Devil, De Soum-Ting ordered a retreat, for some reason abandoning some of the firearms. The Few were lucky indeed, but they did believe their luck instread of not believing it.
Orders (secret, I guess, yeah, *SECRET! DON'T LOOK HERE! TOO LAZY TO PM! SECRET!*):
- Continue to... increase our population. Also continue assimilating the newly-conquered lands.
- Continue the project (2/?)
- Invest one economy level into technology.
- Invest one economy level into increasing our army.
- Study the enemy weapons. Dedicate the population we had study stuff to learning to recreate gunpowder and perhaps metals.
- Send ordinary people of ours into French territory, where they are to pretend to be "normal" locals that adopted Christianity and want to study the amazing European discoveries. They are to try and acquire as much information about the European technology as much. In short, this is a technology-stealing mission.
- 10,000 men are to expand west, north-west and north. Same as before.
- 16,200 men, some of whom are with firearms, are to attack the Spanish positions, then to fall back and lure them in, ambushing the Spanish in favorable terrain. Try to seize more equipment.
- Send our people, including the Returning One (one of the Few), into Mexico. They are to spread the Queztal Teaching amongst the local Indians, opressed by the Spanish missionaries. Tell them that the People of the Queztal want to push the White Men out and reclaim Mexico for Native Americans, and tell them to rise up and overthrow the Spanish Vice-Rey.
