Starting
All players will start off with one army of every colony they own, they are small but they can be added to to make for a strong force. Here are what will be present on your colonies:
12 Militia
5 Flint Lock Smooth Bores
2 Sentinels
All players will begin with 100 Credits
Players/Nations, Rules
Here are the playable Empires:
England - Junglist
Spain - Shagi_Hamiro
France - Dkrumral
Portugal - xx Ice xx
China - SIVA
Russia - AnarchyRulz
Holland - Mason
Germany - kenny
Ottoman - Teapot
India - darkmind
Italy - gbotto
Poland - 2-D
Japan - Jason the King
Every nation will have a bonus and ive tried my damndest to make it all even, although as always with bonuses there are small advantages/disadvantages and ill do the best i can to work them out, as for nation selection don't think I chose Spain because they are the best and i made it unfair just to help myself but i chose them because i believe they have the most interesting Imperial History, the same with Junglist, mind you he is English to.
Rules
-Credits per turn are automatically set at 15 per turn plus their standard bonus given them.
-Each extra colony owned gives 10 Credits per Turn
-All non-player territories are inhabited by Native Tribes whom you must do one of 3 things to gain passage/ownership
A) Conquer them
B) Give them a gift hoping they'll be honored and allow passage
C) Give them a gift and they may join your cause and allow you ownership of the land.
D) They may be insulted and still attack (most often the case)
if this happens you keep that gift
-For every tech researched your allies can get it at a 20% price save the next turn.
-In order for trade to be established on land all nations wanting to trade amongst each other must have a market and buy Trade Carts or Caravans, just keep in mind if an enemy intercepts these before they reach their location trade carts are defenceless and the carts will be destroyed, 80% of the credits in transport lost and 20% of the onboard credits will be plundered by the attacker. Although some carts may be able to escape if the enemy does not attack with Cavalry.
-Trade by sea requires Docks and Trade Cogs or Trade Liners
just keep in mind like Trade Carts these are defenceless, they are however fast, if they are engaged by slow moving ships such as Canon Galleons if they arent in large numbers you may only lose 1 in 4 ships, but for every trade unit destroyed 20% of its carge is sent to the enemy stockpile. Escorts are recommended for large Trade Convoys.
-Unit production on newly conquered colonies you must build military buildings on them, the colonies you start with however already have a Barracks, Stable, Archery Range, Siege Workshop, and a Fort.
-If an ally is sending you credits they must be sent by either trade carts or Trade vessels, but if you lose these then all i gotta say is you burn, if it is a credit gift (IE an ally needs 5 credits and you send them it) and that cart gets taken the enemy will get 100% of that cargo. Also this could make for bad relations, if this amount is to be paid back on a later date and it doesnt arrive the recieveing nation must pay for the losses even if they arent recieved which isnt good when you need credits in the first place, however the sending ally can say forget it but in either case its just bad to lose 100% to an enemy for his own use. So if you're expecting cash from an ally i'd recommend you help escort it.
-Fishing Ships can also be purchased producing 2 credits a turn.
-With transport ships being sent across waterways you'd better be sure as hell theyre protected because they maximum attck theyll have is that of a galley (very weak only firing arrows against cannon balls) and if you lose a transport ship every unit on it will die.
-Capital Territories aren't recommended to be attacked early on, because each Capital territory starts with a Castle (very strong defencive structure) and players may be able to build more castles, at great cost but they are excelent defences.
-In each turn you can buy units and place them anywhere you have the necessary military buildings, and unlike the newly proposed rules by gbotto in the modern wargame which have been greatly debated the rules will stand like so, with saved up credits at the start of your turn you can only spend 50% of them and the full amount given at the start of that turn (thank you fighter) but this is also on the defence/offence or just plain old building up.
-Combat moves stay as is, once you make an attack you cant decide to go back on it, you may be able to make small last minute changes but thats it.
-CHEATING will not be accepted whatsoever, i will be keeping close tabs on credit incomes, if anyone is found to be cheating then they will be penalized, half of their saved up credits will be taken away, and their next turns income will be taken away, and depending on how bad it is other actions may be taken, if you've been found to be taking in way too many credits for amny turns i may go as far as emptying out your saved credits, cancelling your income for 3 turns, and elminating 25% of your trade vessels so all in all DON'T CHEAT!
-In the start of each turn you must list all of your colonies with their income of 5 + any farming, also the numbr of trade carts/caravans you own and how much theyre bringing in and the same with Trade Cogs/Vessels and their incomes then total them to show your total income, this will make things easier to keep up with and reduce and possibility of cheating.
-You must make a topic about your nation just like in other wargames and include the above, your unit purchases, building purchases and where they're being placed
-An Attack Thread will be posted in there tell me what you're attacking with, where you're attacking from, where you're attacking and be sure to put some description into your strategy, if you just say "ill take this and hit them" you'll lose many more men.
-Counterattacks are allowed so when you come under attack take necessary action to help defend as well as possible.
-If an attack is made with specifying units used, where you're attacking from or where you are attacking it will be ignored.
-An official topic will be posted here post your purchases, alliances blah blah you know the drill.
-Cutting trade routes (What FUN!) you can always conquer territories between enemy/neutral trade routes this is good to piss people off, destroy trade and act as a middleman, if they have to pass through your territory you can charge up to 20% of their total cargo but just keep in mind, they may tell ya where to go and attack to get their trade route back, in the diplomatic world the cutting of trade is not appreciated and it may begin a war.
-Further research is always good, researching gun powder gives you the ability to create canon, muskets, canon galleons, and other such weapons, and eventually the cartridge resulting in a deadly doubling of fire rate, then late in the game theres the dreaded Gattling Gun yes you heard right, a 6 barrelled gun mounted on an axel with a crank allowing a VERY high fire rate and you can practically mow down armies with it, 3 of these things can easily chaneg the outcome of a battle, but this is long off from the start.
-research of armor/weapons techs, these can add armor/attack points as well as range points and in battles a bit of armor, some stronger weapons and stronger bows can really make for a lopsided outcome! research those techs.
