Neo Nes : Legends

[erez87]

The French were growing. Yes their population might have been small but their lands were growing with each day. The King found that naval expansion into more areas might find new food sources and new poulations that might be added to the empire. And so the King decided to create a magnifisant navy. Many galleys were being built when and also... 2 galleons from old designs were also added.

Food was also a problem. So the king decided that if their buildings a navy they might as well also use this new magnifisant navy for larger scale fishing, maybe even larger fish. Also seeds were sent to colonies alla cross French expansion plans to find more farm lands. Into the mountains south and eastward the french sent several expedition to look for precious metals, and maybe more kidns of food! Food was becomign a serius problem... The King will do all for this food...


Westward the Tlacolotl Empire have asked for tribute. The french had nothing to give. Yes the french were weak, but they got nothing to send. the Tlacolotl Empire became nicer quickly but until tribute will be sent to them the french could not try to buy food from thos people. Maybe one of the new galleons could be given to them as a gift... Who knows, maybe it will impress their empress and show the king of France in better light?...

To Spain
From Portugal

We Agree with you on the border being the Iberian River. We note that it guarantees access to Some Mountains for you. In addition to the River. We however would like to note that we wish to control the delta, so the small little islets at the coast will be ours.

We wish to express our intrest in an Alliance. Our people know each others ways and are more or less comforatble with each other. What say you? Or at the very least, let the merchants do some form of trade?


To New Athens
From New Portugal

We wish to confrim a future border exactly BETWEEN the Trees in the middle of the Grasslands. We Could call the treaty something symbolic to represent the fact that they are trees.

(although knowing stalin they could be man eating trees :|)

To: New Ottomani Empire
From: Takaeda Shogunate

We would like to confirm our border. Border would be this river (shows map), with these conditions we could share those mountains and the river as trade route.

From:Spain
We do not recognize your claims.

Toortugal
From:Spain
We insist we split the delta, complete control of it by one party will led to disaster.

Care to expand on that?

Thessos I gives a speech to the people of New Athens:
"Men of New Athens!" cried Thessos. "With the tidings of Columbus, we know the shape of this new world we are settled in!"
(Cheering)
"And with the message from the Tlacolotl Empire, we now know that there is a great power already established in this country."
(Mutterings)
"The message we shall send, I have decided, shall be one of noninterference. That the empire is evil is only a matter of legend; yet legends we have seen, think only to those who disappeared, taken by manticoras. So I believe that our wisest course is to politely refrain from contact. Our messenger bears these words: Lady, we are a small empire, and the only tribute we could send would be logs. We are too humble to even speak with you. This I have decided."
"Now, it is other things that will dictate our policy in the near future. We have settled in here, we have begun to farm and cut trees, now we must move on from the shock of this new world. It is time to establish ourself firmly as a NATION - and not merely a colony!"
(Cheering, applause)


Orders being PM'ed now.

[Erik Mesoy]

To New Portugal
From New... Athens? Shouldn't it be Greece?
This treaty sounds good, but of course we are not sure that you are not a figment of our (Or Columbus') imagination, and there are many strange beasts about, so we will be building a fort in your general direction. Please don't take it as a hostile gesture, the plans were laid down before your communication was received.

 

[Kal'thzar]

Err New Athens... Care to reply to that Message i gave you..please?

 

[Erik Mesoy]

I thought I just did???????????

 

[andis-1]

To: Barbaric French leader
From: Takaeda Shogunate

We warn you: do not build any kind of colonies on that delta west of our lands.

 

[Tyrion]

The Pope was disturbed... the other 'Popes' had not replied nor had the majority of other nations... he would orders roads built in the hope of Trade bu without reply he could do little.

 

[Tyrion]

To Takeade and New Athens
From New Rome:
We are constructing roads towards your nation, this is to provide adequate means for trade. It would be greatly appreciated if you helped create these roads, and would also i think bring our nations closer together. We have large amounts of wool to sell to you so you can create better clothing. We would like to investigate what strange things you have foudn in this land and see if they are tradeable if not we are more than happy enough just to trade food for other resources.
Please send word on your plans so we know what to expect.

 

[Kal'thzar]

New Athens agreed, and New Spain, after a small amount of deliberation, also agreed.

Specific details of New Spain deal: Islets controlled: North Island: New Spain, South Island: New Portugal, Middle Island: A Free city Populated by Iberians, managed by themselves, they will have strong ties to our and the Spainish People. Due to the larger size of the south Island, Spain has access to the ports on that island


Now that his borders were recognised, it was time to expand and explore.

Reynals drew up plans for an "Alexandria" of the Iberian River. Or in other words, expressed the desire to his advisors of an Idea, which they promptly made a reality. But that is for a later date, when the Borders are actually met.

Reynald Wanted his borders to be met as quickly as possible, but then he also wanted access to the mountains near by....He pondered and saw that this was not really a problem. The trees made expansion slow, and it would probably be wuicker going round them and populating the more fertile shore and river areas before making a short strike south accross grasslands.

OOC: So general direction of expansion; along coasts until reaching agreed borders, then moving round inland.

This will prob take a few turns.

His project for the Unemployed people was to make them do usefull things. For a start some lumber could go into making a bridge accross the river to the south. And some more ships could be built too. The Portugese were not exploiting the bounty of the sea, it needed to be done.

And a party of 7 men, led by Aragorn would go visit the queen, and inform her that we have nothing to give, apart from logs, and some cloths. And if you give us time, we will make you something bueatifull.

OOC: Then ask the ministers or whatever (privatly), what the queen would REALLY like.

Also 200 men were to be given the task of searching the area for habitats of new creatures, identify dangerous ones and try to capture as many as possible.

Total Costs: -1000 lumber (Ships, bridge), 50 gold. (cheaper due to most if not all of the goods needed to create the ships/bridge is being provided by me, heck i could put this turns textiles into making sails, but i think the gold will pay for that)
