Re: Colonize and Conquer

[Flagmauth]

The British respond dismissively to the other European powers. Much rhetoric is directed at soothing the small outburst of anger at the loss of the African Exploratory Missions. Care is taken to ensure no more wasted personnel and ships.

[**** you, Mr. Wells *shakes fist*]

HMS Bellerophon is laid down.

A mission of settlers sets out for the newly "explored" African territory. Another mission sets out for a more northern settlement in Atlantis [Boston] while a third is preparing to explore the more southern reaches of the continent and if possible found a colony there.

The newly formed Ottoman Empire deside that they should spread there religion (Islam) to the world. To do this they send spy's to other country's to get blue prints of battle ships and the British dreadnought. They then build small battle ships and teach the Muslim missionaries how to sail. Once finishing the ships and crew they send the first 5 ships to the americas. Landing appon the inner south (Goergia) and find the Chrokees. The sailer do well in their practice successfully converting the entire Chrokee nation into Muslims. The men the then name the ruler of the Chrokees Gundhi (yes a islamic Chrokee Gundhi!)
Back home/ the Muslim architects are making a blue print of a dreadnought with a on board Mosque! And yes it will have the dome.

[Fair warning: Pres doesn't take kindly to that. A better way to say that would be: The Ottomans send an expedition of 5 ships aimed at obtaining their own colonies. Pres will then tell you if you succeed or not. If you do, you say something like: The Ottomans set up missions to convert the natives to Islam.

Doing stuff like that automatically will get you karma'd in da face.]

A deadly crash kills two of the most crucial engineers to the Southampton Glider's progress. Setbacks are estimated to take at least two weeks to make good, if not more.

The Ottomans train native Chrokees to become survival missionary and send the first troop of ten westward to the source of the legendary rumors of the Aztec.
(sorry DM just let it side) At the Empire the architects have finished completion of the Dreadnought with the mosque they celebrate to put it in the water a large amount of people have gathered to watch. They put it in the water with a cry of happyness until the dreadnought being top heavy flips over. The cries silence and the adnonces with the mic on
"Well that's a mood killer"
Bouts are then sent to scrap it and receive the supplies and architects to the drawing broad
DM please apply any unforeseen problems

(What? what! What? the Aztecs are not known by the Cherokee. Not to mention the Ottomans have a really hard task of moving ships anywhere considering that you need to Roll dice to have any type of Outcome. Expect Karma Charger or Karma Rebellion, because the Cherokee nation is at its hight. We are Ignoring Diseases and you would have a Horrid time trying to convert them into Islam… considering there are also many other not very friendly Native tribes between you, and the very unfamiliar Terrain. Not to mention the Vikings were scared to Freaking Death of Native americans. These are VIKINGS we are talking about. and Nations with Hundreds of thousands of Natives, not the smaller numbers that we saw when we started converting them.)

The Portuguese stop the Ottoman ship from leaving the Mediterranean sea. The Portuguese ask them what they are planning on doing outside of their territory. (Remember that Relations between Christian nations and Islamic nations are not the best, especially with the Catholic nations as Portugal, Spain, and France.)

In order to pass to leave the straight of Gibraltar, the Portuguese require some form of Bribe.

Meanwhile, the Portuguese sail further west attempting to find a way to Asia.

The British do not view the charging of a toll by Portugal (I may have misread that, but that's what I got) kindly.

[Doomwing]

(it wasn't to you it was to the ottoman empire plus you wouldn't have found out so quickly.)

The Portuguese ignore the British in this matter. It isn't their Territory so they have no reason to express a point of view.

[Flagmauth]

[Gibraltar = British.]

[Doomwing]

(According to the world map, it belongs to spain mostly. And since spain is Catholic It would be reasonable that they would try to stop the muslims.. the portuguese are just helping by patrolling their waters.)

[Flagmauth]

['scuse me? Gibraltar is British and has been since 1713. Assuming no major deviations in European history beyond the Great War, which to my knowledge is indeed the case here.]

[Doomwing]

(your math is off, it is 1704 when the Spanish lost it to the british; However, it makes sense for the religious cultures in the region to not allow the Islamic Ottoman Empire through. While Portugal has little right form a blockade, they are hiring privateers to take out the Ottoman ships. Note that this doesn't remotely effect the British seeing that the Portuguese aren't even stopping them... not to mention he didn't roll to land or that crap. TREY FREAKING POST!!!)

[1704 when Gibraltar was originally occupied, but it's been officially British since 1713. And yeah, I know the Ottomans aren't rolling or anything. It's setting my OCD off too, we have to be patient.]

[Should be fairly easy, actually. Just make arbitrary decisions ]

[Flagmauth]

Britain sends an expedition to the Portuguese colonies to spy out some stuff and also see if they can make friendly contact. They also make an effort to colonize the Gold Coast, Boston, and Norfolk.

[99luftballons]

Denmark tries to settle in modern day Quebec since it is right across from Ny Fynland (New Foundland) and because their earlier expedition had found farmland.
