Whats this you may ask? Well, I think you should allow this ONCE, and THEN tighten the rules.. but what currently is there for me to renegotiate every turn, getting a nice little credit launch boost? Your little formula MUST find me a interested party as you stated there are several out there? If NOT.. well the contract just carries on with me getting 100.. But if you do that, I think you are mean
How about in future a duration must be set and if you break that, you suffer -2 rep?
As for movements all should be pretty clear.. down towards the south east one grunt moves and then gets into the transport to ensure hex's claimed before he zipps onwards.

I think it's probably necessary to tell you all that these orders were usually pretty OOC, because I don't think it should be a chore for the mod to read. They were also relatively succinct because I was never involved in any belligerent acts, haha. Enjoy the read, if you can stand to read this crap. Also, I don't know where the some of the first few turns' orders are. I must have deleted them. They were even more boring than these, though.

- War in The New World
Goals
- Destroy Spanish navy by outnumbering it locally.
- Raid, plunder and destroy colony of New Spain
- Destroy Spanish forces on the Michuan river
Summary
Fifty-fives ships leave for New Spain with 600 soldiers and 10 cannon from England. They arrive 6 weeks later (you said it takes 4-8 weeks to travel) and plunder New Spain. They then sail on to Fort Henry before 49 of the ships set sail to hunt and destroy any Spanish ships in the region. Meanwhile a small number of soldiers and 1 ship are sent to the Michuan river to try and do some scouting. When they return or when its obvious that they aren’t returning, we will assault the Spaniards in Chalco and around there. Once that operation is complete the ships and soldiers will return to Fort Henry, rendezvousing with ships sent to establish colonies in the East and then returning to England to assist in the assault on Spain proper.
Description
- Expedition for New Spain:
Sir Francis Drake will be placed in command of this operation. He’s the king’s favorite for naval affairs. His given a rather large number of ships but only a limited number of soldiers because he can pick up soldiers in the New World from Fort Henry. (I am reducing garrison sizes in Fort Henry and Fort Eleanor based on what you told me- I worry that their upkeep is reducing the growth rate of my colonies). Note that the ships also carry colonists/specialists and supplies for our developing and new colonies. They leave on 4th of December of 1526, arriving at the shores of New Spain sometime in Mid January.
- Assault on New Spain:
If we meet any Spanish ships along the way engage them and capture/destroy them to the best of our capacity unless we are outnumbered or two heavily encumbered by the supplies and colonists we carry.
The ships will approach the New Spain coast and unload 10 cannon and 400 soldiers somewhere with a natural harbor but not in range of local defenses. The soldiers and cannon will then approach the major settlement areas and if there is no major defenses, in coordination with the soldiers aboard the ships, over-run the settlement. If there are proper defenses use our ship-based and land-based cannon to open them up before we pour our soldiers in.
Once the major defenses have been overcome systematically dismantle the settlement and load anything that isn’t nailed down onto our ships. Take all the food and crops and burn anything that isn’t harvestable yet. Leave the majority of the Spanish colonists to starve. Any valuable specialists can come with us as we sail for Fort Henry; they are now indentured servants of the English crown. Interrogate with prejudice the governors and senior military officials if we can catch them to determine the movement of Spanish assets or the founding of new colonies in the New World.
- Fort Henry
Arriving at Fort Henry separate our fleet into 5 ships which will be used to taxi colonists and supplies and head East to set up our eastern colonies. Our treasure taken from New Spain will be unloaded and whatever can be used to assist in the development of Fort Henry will be invested in our colony (the rest will be sold when we return to England).
One ship with 25 soldiers will set sail for the Michuan river to scout for our future attack.
Forty-nine ships, 750 soldiers and 11 cannon (we load 150 soldiers and 1 cannon from Fort Henry to swell our ranks) will hunt for Spanish ships.
- Scouting Expedition
March 1527, Étienne Brulé, born in France but immigrated to England at the age of 15 and having risen considerably in the ranks of the English navy, take command of a scouting expedition to the Michuan river. His goals are to locate the Spanish and determine their numbers. He takes with him only 1 ship and 25 soldiers. His orders are to sail up the river until he spots evidence of the Spanish then to turn around and sail back to Fort Henry and rejoin Francis Drake.
- Hunting Spanish ships
March- June 1527, Francis Drake will hunt for Spanish ships and assets along the mouth of the Michuan river and the coastline between it and New Spain, as well as the coast north of New Spain looking especially to intercept any ships bringing resources or reinforcements to the Spanish soldiers in Michuan territory or treasure ships leaving the river.
If we have any evidence of a new Spanish settlement founded in the New World this turn, then these are the assets that are to be used to run it down, plunder it and destroy it.
Francis Drake will use Fort Henry as a base of operations, meeting up with the scouting ship and personnel once their mission is complete.
In June 1527, Francis Drake will sail his fleet up the Michuan river to do battle with the remnants of the Spanish army at Chalco (or thereabouts)
- Hunting Spanish Amongst the Michuan
Based on our conversation, I will not be sending the English soldiers into a protracted adventure amongst the Michuan river. Instead they will remain on their ships as long as possible and only head inland to do battle with the Spanish when the meet them.
So the idea is to sail up the Michuan river and if we see Spanish ships to engage and capture/destroy them. If we encounter a Spanish fort we are to unload our forces out of range of their cannon or guns, and if it is along the river, use our ships to fire upon it with their cannon while our soldiers and cannon approach from the landward side. Overrun and plunder their forts.
If we cannot find the Spanish on the river and see no evidence of their ships, then just turn around and go back to Fort Henry. If we see the Spanish but they hide in the forest or wilds, do not pursue them; instead simply plunder and raze any forts they may have on the river’s edge. If we are attacked by the Michuan or Aztecs, defend ourselves as best as possible and capture them so we can release them with a message back to their masters (namely that we are here to destroy the Spanish and trade with their tribes).
Under no conditions are our soldiers or cannon to stray more then a quarter day’s journey from the ships and they are never to sleep on land. The ships are numerous- they have big cannons and they are the soldier’s protection.
- Returning to England
In late august, Étienne Brulé and Francis Drake will meet up with the ships used to set up our colonies further east and head back to England. Once there they will unload any treasure that couldn’t be used to prop up Fort Henry and repair/refit/resupply then combine with the Kalmar and English navy there and head out to fight in mainland Spain.
Synergy with Policy
None.
- War in Spain
Goals
- Take and hold, in this order, San Sebastian, Pamplona, Lleida, Barcelona, Zargosa
- Control Spain north of the Ebre river
- Inflict a grievous injury to the economy and prestige of the Spanish faction
- Capture the Spanish king and his family
- capture the Balearic isles.
Summary
March on Northern Spain via San Sebastian and take Pamplona, Lleida and Barcelona. Take some boats to Parma and take those islands too. Capture the Spanish king.
Description
- An Amphibious Attack
Our original assault will take place on Friday January 8th, 1527 and rely on ships confiscated from the private sector of the three allied nations. Our convoy will be under the protection of 30 English and 65 Kalmar naval vessels and will carry 3500 Kalmar soldiers, 4500 Irish and 5000 English soldiers and 20 Kalmar, 40 Irish and 40 English cannon. The arrival of a huge allied fleet should be a surprise to the inhabitants of San Sebastian (including those we made diplomatic contact with) but once they arrive, their overwhelming numbers, the lack of defensive preparations by the inhabitants of San Sebastian and our diplomatic bribes might conspire to together render the surrender of the city without a battle. And so we will arrive and not fire a single cannon until our diplomats have a chance to offer the city governors a chance to surrender. If they refuse, then we attack, starting with ship-based cannon fire, then unloading cannon/soldiers on nearby hills and laying the smack down on their fortifications before storming them.
Either way be very merciful with the population. Our soldiers are under orders not to plunder or pillage the city or the environs in any way. As soon as they are ashore we move them out of the city and into military camps so they have little chance to do harm. Five-hundred soldiers will remain on garrison duty but the officers are to work closely with the diplomats to avoid inflicting harm or hardship upon he population. Place local English sympathizers that our diplomats have contacted in positions of puppet authority.
Our diplomats will contact some locals with English sympathies (that we bought with our bribes?) and ask them to help guide us through the hills to the plains around Pamplona.
Later more soldiers will arrive and land here (possibly more at this point if we cannot carry as any over in the initial ferry operation- we will also provide supplies via the San Sebastian harbor.
- March to Pamplona
Once we take San Sebastian we will march for Pamploma; we are doubtful that the Spanish will be able to mobilize a coordinated defense of this city due the speed of our progress. We will use the Basque and Anabaptist populations in the region to secure safe passage. We will survive on supplies brought with us and not harm the popuation.
If the Spanish army meets us in the field (unlikely considering that we have just arrived in Spain and it takes awhile to amass and march an army) do our best to fight them in an open area with our flanks protected by hills or forests and take advantage of any small hills to mount our numerous cannon to seriously deplete the enemy forces from a distance.
- Pamplona
Pamplona has the distinction of pretty much controlling the major passes through the Pyrenees and no doubt is important to control if we want to move our supplies through the foothills of the Pyrenees to Barcelona. And so we must have it.
Again rely on our diplomats to make contact with English sympathizers amongst the population focusing again on the Basque or Anabaptists- maybe make out Juan’s wife as a traitor to them who sold them out to the Spanish despite their wishes? Anyway, again offer them surrender without a shot fired but if they refuse then reduce their fortifications and formations with cannon (since we have so many) before moving our bulk in. Again we will move into the city but our soldiers are under orders not to plunder or harm the civilian population. They are there to destroy government of central Spain, the local barracks and defenses, then move back out in the countryside. Place local English sympathizers that our diplomats have contacted in positions of puppet authority.
Five hundred allied soldiers will remain to guard the city.
- Naval Operations
At this point the Kalmar/English navy should be free to focus on other things. They will make search and capture/destroy operations against smaller groups of Spanish military ships and against Spanish trade ships. They are not to engage overwhelming enemy numbers and if the enemy pursues our navy while we are outnumbered, they are to head to narrow straits (or river mouths) anywhere they can to try and fight in areas where mobility is restricted and we can fight limited number of enemy ships at once.
In mid-October Francis Drake’s forces from the New World should return, rendezvous with the Kalmar and English ships in the region (total 150 ships) and, after taking on 2000 English soldiers and 10 cannon, sail down the coast of Spain hunting capturing and sinking Spanish military ships and trade vessels. Do NOT attack third party navies such as the Portuguese. My diplo with Milarqui before he dropped was going well so I hope they will stay neutral.
- Feint at Zaragosa and March for Lleida.
Sometime during this march we expect the 500 Irish and 1000 English soldiers who would have to come in a second ferry operation to catch up to our main force.
As our soldiers march beyond the lands of the Basques and Anabaptist they will be given free reign, encouraged even, to forage far and wide (carefully using plenty of scouts and local guides) and plunder crops and farmlands and villages to feed the marching army. Do as Sun Tzu suggests and make the enemy pay to upkeep our forces. This means that we will probably contact many enemy spies and scouts which is bad but also good. Those scouts we do capture we will try to turn (see espionage budget, action) and return to their masters with tales of us heading for Zargosa and beyond to Valladolid and the agricultural heartland of Spain. Our mission, as understood by double-agents, is that we want to control the stomachs of Spain and so will cross the Ebre at Zargosa and head west.
The Spanish army may try to meet us in the field here. At this point we should have 13,500 soldiers and 100 cannon (minus losses). My understanding is that its fairly dry plain with some agriculture and lots of Mediterranean agriculture so we might end up fighting in croplands or open plains more likely. That’s fine. This favors our cannon-heavy army and ‘combined arms’ approach to warfare.
Anyway, in truth we will feint at Zaragosa to try and draw the Spanish army to garrison that city but march for Lleida
Maybe three-to-four days distant from Zaragosa we will suddenly turn and head directly east, moving overland in a wide front. If garrison forces from Zargaosa pursue us, then send our cavalry (dragoons?) in a wide sweeping maneuver, ahead and east, then north. Meanwhile our main forces will continue to move east then finally turn and prepare to meet the enemy (with canon on the south near the Ebre river). As the two lines meet our northern cavalry will wheel and strike at their northern flank and western rear. If garrison forces do not pursue or head eastwards on the southern side of the Ebre river, then that’s cool- just keep marching for Lleida.
- Assaulting Lleida
Sometime before we reach Lleida the bridge across the Egre at Tartosa will have been destroyed (see Espionage) trapping the soldiers and government of Spain north of the Egre there and preventing those soldiers in central and southern Spain from partaking in the defense of Lleida and Barcelona. Hopefully…
By the time we reach Lleida (August?), the Spanish army should have organized itself somewhat and may be prepared for us more adequately. By now however, our spies should be fully operational as well and feeding us information regarding the movement of troops in Lleida and Barcelona. The Spanish king will have to decide if he wants to make a stand at Lleida or wait in Barcelona. Hopefully he makes a stand in Lleida which lacks the defenses of Barcelona.
The plan is to reduce the city defenses with our numerous cannon before making our assault. Our forces will consists of 13,500 soldiers and 100 cannon (minus losses). If we can make our way into the city the first thing we must do is secure the bridge across the Segre to prevent new reinforcements from the Barcelona and the west and to prevent soldiers fleeing back to Barcelona. Hopefully they are more likely to surrender when they see their route of retreat cut off. Once we take the city completely plunder every last thing of value from it and raid the grain stores. England will do its best to secure the knowledge of the books and professors the University for itself.
This time it’s the Irish who will garrison the city, especially to secure the bridge and its access across the Segre. Leave 1000 Irish soldiers here.
The rest of our soldiers will continue for Barcelona.
- Assaulting Barcelona
For our assault on Barcelona I have invested considerable funds into espionage of the royal court and so our officers should have excellent intelligence on the position of Spanish forces and in particular the king and his bodyguard.
Our forces consist of 12,500 allied soldiers and 100 cannon (minus losses). The plan is to arrive in late September or early October and take positions in the many hills around Barcelona. Split our forces but keep them close enough to each other to provide mutual fire support. Make tentative approaches to the city to either 1) test their capacity for defense or 2) try to draw them out into a battle in the field. If they sally, take advantage of the fact to destroy as many as we can and to counterattack the city. If they appear weak when we test their defenses and our intelligence confirms as much, attack.
Otherwise just besiege the forces and control the suburbs and transport into and out of Barcelona while we wait for Francis Drake and the navy. Build ditches and trenches to advance our forces under cover while we wait. He should arrive early November. When Drake arrives our landward forces will move the canon forward using the ditches and begin to assault the city. Meanwhile Drake will use the 150 ships (minus losses) to fire on the port and open a path for them to get closer and turn their cannon upon the interior of the city’s defenses.
When the time is right move the soldiers in from the landward side first and follow with our marines and cannon from the ships. That’s endgame for taking the Spanish capital.
In the confusion of street to street fighting (if the Spanish king doesn’t surrender right away), send our soldiers, guided by our intelligence, to find the King’s hiding places and make contact with the traitors we have bought. Try to use the traitors in conjunction with our own forces to take the King alive. Regardless of if that’s possible or not, capture his family and highest ranking nobles. Spirit them away before the battle is over and things calm down. Raid the treasury and plunder the city for every last valuable bit we can find. Let the soldiers have a good time and don’t discipline them if they drink, rape and kill to their hearts’ content- they’ve earned it.
Once the situation is secure, the city has been looted, the plunder exported back to our home countries and relative security attained, send 10 Kalmar ships to patrol the Ebre river and prevent Spanish soldiers from crossing on row boats or whatever. They can also raid any river-side villages. Food taken from these raids should be used to support our marching soldiers whenever possible.
Send 10,500 soldiers and 95 cannon (minus any losses from both the new world and from the Spanish campaign) back to Zargosa and the countryside.
3000 English and 1000 Kalmar soldiers remain in Barcelona to garrison it for a bit.
- Post-Barcelona Naval Orders
85 English ships and 55 Kalmar ships (minus losses) hunt Spanish shipping and raid Vallencia and Castellón de la Plana ports if they are poorly defended or otherwise just the countryside coast line.
This continues until march when 40 English ships peal off to assault the Balaeric islands.
- Zargosa and the Countryside
At this point the Spanish army should be much depleted or alternatively our forces should remain near full strength. Our soldiers and cannon will return to Zargosa region (April 1528?) and this time not feint an attack but mount a real siege and assault. We will continue to live off the land as best we can with supplies coming in from both the Pyrenees to the north and up the Ebre via the Kalmar patrols.
Secure the city, plunder it as best we can and set up a major defensive position here so we can hold the most eastern bridge across the Ebre. The defensive position consists of 3000 soldiers and 30 cannon. The remainder of our army will move into the countryside and secure the surrender of villages and ‘collect taxes’ on behalf of the ruling nations (us). If our forces allow it, they will also continue up the Ebre and secure other bridges like Tudela, Logrrono, and Mirando de Ebro.
- Balaeric Islands
In March of 1529, 40 English ships, 2000 English soldiers and 10 English cannon will set sail from Barcelona under command of Sir Francis Drake (leaving 1000 Kalmar and 1000 English soldiers to defend and hold Barcelona and 45 English and 55 Kalmar ships (minus losses) to patrol the Spanish coasts).
Their target is the Balaeric islands starting with the capital of Palma. They are to secure all the major towns, ports and harbors first. The crops and fish collected here will then be exported back to our forces in Spain to assist in their maintenance and support. These islands also provide a safe harbor, once secured, to repair and refit any damaged English ships without having to return to the Atlantic and England. Drake is under orders to be merciful to the population in the hopes that they might be permanently integrated into the English kingdom.
Any plunder taken is divided as follows. England is repaid for its espionage efforts. If Ireland showed up, then the plunder is divided 2 shares to England, 2 shares to Kalmar and 1 share to Ireland. If Ireland doesn’t show up the plunder is 1 share to England and 1 share to Kalmar.

- Colony Expansion
Goals
- Expand value of Pemba and Zanzibar Isle settlement (+economy, + trade, +territory)
- Expand value of Fort Eleanor settlement (+economy, + trade, +territory)
- Expand value of Fort Henry settlement (+economy, + trade, +territory)
Summary
Explore native agriculture and plant species and develop opportunities throughout colonies
Invest in mining, timber, fishing, plantation cash crops for Fort Eleanor
Develop timber, ship-building and mining industry for Fort Henry
Invest in pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a bit further into cloves for Pemba and Zanzibar, also a deep water port on Zanzibar island
Description
For Pemba/Zanzibar:
1) Buy cinnamon, pepper, and nutmeg seeds from Malaccan, Indian or Muslim traders (paying a premium to smugglers or thieves contracted especially for this purpose if necessary). Send people to Zanzibar/Pemba to set up plantations of these spices (especially on Zanzibar island). If we get peanuts from the New World, try planting peanuts and other ‘old-world’ nuts.
2) Expand our clove plantations (especially on Pemba island).
3) Develop a deep-water harbor at the best natural site.
4) Develop a Henry Tower Triangle*
For Fort Eleanor:
1) Begin to survey for precious metals. IRL there is iron and some gold in the Caribbean but maybe not in this time-line. Either way, survey a bit.
2) Also apparently there were mahogany and cedar forests here (source: THE HISTORY OF CUBA by Clifford Staten), so set up some timber-yards (to feed our domestic demand and to export to Fort Henry). 3) Also, you said the weather was no good for tobacco but my source (Staten, see above) says otherwise and anyway, I want to give it a try so plant sugar, tobacco, cotton, coffee from Egypt and Africa, and introduce cattle, sheep, goats and horses.
4) Working in conjunction with the local natives, explore what agricultural options are available from New World crops (maize, cotton, peppers, avocados, amaranth, beans, peanuts, potato, sunflowers)
5) Develop our existing Henry Towers by linking them with subterranean tunnels.*
For Fort Henry:
1) Survey for iron or other ores and if there is some, develop some mines.
2) Develop logging and timber-yards
3) Develop a true European-style shipyard for the construction of modern ships.
4) Working in conjunction with the local natives, explore what agricultural options are available from New World crops (maize, cotton, peppers, avocados, amaranth, beans, peanuts, potato, sunflowers). Also explore introduction of sugar, cotton, coffee from Egypt and Africa, and introduce cattle, sheep, goats and horses.
5) Develop our existing Henry Towers by linking them with subterranean tunnels.*
*= The Henry Triangle. As it exists Fort Henry and Eleanor have 3 Henry Towers each. These are large round towers meant to provide protection to soldiers and cannon to protect coasts and other areas. Cheap to build and maintain, they basically turn a war between boats and shore into a war between wooden boat hulls and thick stone tower walls. They are based on the Martelo Tower, but I now want to connect each triangle of towers (two on the coasts, one slightly inland and in-between) with subterranean tunnels (where the gun-powder is stored actually). Each tower is also built to be collapsed from the interior with a minimal explosive charge. And in this way if one tower is about to be over-run, the defenders can collapse that one tower and retire to the other two to continue the defense. These are ‘Henry Tower TrianglesEach colony will have these as defenses if possible.
Synergy with Policy
None really.
- Founding New Colonies
Goals
- Found Fort Carmen
- Found Fort Pearl
Summary
Explorers, colonists and soldiers will land at the site of Fort Carmen and look for a suitable natural harbor not too distant from fish banks or land suitable for agriculture and found a settlement there. Later, others will do the same for Fort Pearl.
Description
The site for Fort Carmen is situated at an excellent position to control travel through the New World central straits and that’s why we are developing a fort there: to control the straits. In May of 1527 5 galleons will arrive from Fort Eleanor with colonists, explorers, specialist builders, missionaries, traders, 300 soldiers and 6 cannon and supplies. They will immediately begin 1) looking for a site to build Fort Carmen that has a natural harbor and fresh water, 2) developing a means of feeding the population be it fishing or farming or both, 3) making contact with locals and trading with them our tin and ironware (things like cooking pots, etc, not weapons) trying to learn from them about local agriculture and mineral resources, 4) developing a deep-water harbor for our ships, 4) developing a quarry (or import stone from Fort Pearl site- see below), 5) sending missionaries to the locals and 6) developing Henry Tower Triangles (see above). Once the appropriate resources are unloaded, the ships and much of their cargo (minus Fort Carmen colonists, specialist builders, 150 soldiers, and 3 cannon (for the towers)) will head eastwards for Fort Pearl’s settlement site.
In July of 1527, 5 galleons will arrive from Fort Carmen with colonists, explorers, specialist builders, missionaries, traders, 150 soldiers and 3 cannon and supplies. They will immediately begin 1) looking for a site to build Fort Pearl that has a natural harbor and fresh water, 2) developing a means of feeding the population be it fishing or farming or both, 3) making contact with locals and trading with them our tin and ironware (things like cooking pots, etc, not weapons) trying to learn from them about local agriculture and mineral resources, 4) developing a deep-water harbor for our ships, 4) developing a quarry (or just import stone from the Fort Carmen site) 5) sending missionaries to the locals and 6) developing Henry Tower Triangles (see above).
Ships will then return to Fort Henry to Rendezvous with Francis Drake.
Note: Fort Carmen is being funded for 1200g and Fort Pearl is being funded for 1000g. If the quarry is better situated at fort Pearl than Fort Carmen, spend 1200g on Fort Pearl and 1000g on Fort Carmen instead of the funding shown. That extra 200g is for a quarry.
Synergy with Policy
There may be some synergy here as we use our discovery of new lands to develop new resources and distant coasts.
