Space Voyager Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I told you about it but none listened I guess So you did, I checked! Sorry, so many AARs going on right now... Hard to remember all info. I think we saw enough of Jman's AARs to know that voting for anybody else would be a seriously risky gamble, so I'm going with the Dutch in the poll. EDIT; HE HE HE, it is really funny to see who voted for what option! BTW, Jman, we're not placing bets so you can't take our money with suddenly letting Spain win.

silencer_pl Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Well Spanish is of the game so Tiger must accept Dutch superiority. Also I am wondering why Dutch but no Portuguese in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 They made a remake called FreeCol, sort of like FreeCiv, and it has them in it and several others like the Russians, Swedes and Danes. I might play that later, but idk if it's complete. https://www.freecol.o....html#x1-620006 Edit: Downloaded it and I'm trying it. It's rather slow and clunky, probably due to being a java app. Also, the interface is rather lacking, and it's a pain to explore uncharted areas.

We haul in some trade goods to the Cherokee, but they are cheap bastards. A fairer price would be about 240 more than that! https://img502.imageshack.us/img502/1038/sopening296.pngAnd they stop it at 702...firm...Oh well, more than we paid for it..Maybe we can get a better deal buying what they have. https://img576.imageshack.us/img576/825/sopening297.pnghttps://img193.imageshack.us/img193/4426/sopening298.pngLike furs. We need furs to make coats to sell to Europe. Yes! We can get them for cheap here, only 2.73 each! https://img208.imageshack.us/img208/8026/sopening301.pnghttps://img440.imageshack.us/img440/6118/sopening302.pngAh, the Incas! Finally a civilized tribe. Greetings! https://img96.imageshack.us/img96/2564/sopening303.pnghttps://img402.imageshack.us/img402/8929/sopening305.pngWith Pocahontas, we get to have all our transgressions against the natives forgotten and they won't get pissed with us as quickly in future interactions. https://img708.imageshack.us/img708/8972/sopening308.pngNext up: Thomas Jefferson https://img193.imageshack.us/img193/9240/sopening309.pnghttps://img442.imageshack.us/img442/6658/sopening311.pngIn the meantime, our magazine is completed and we start on the arsenal. We put a master gunsmith to work making 14 muskets a turn. This further moves our colonies toward their eventual indepenence. https://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4959/sopening312.pnghttps://img525.imageshack.us/img525/7109/sopening313.pngSince we've been having some indian troubles lately, Pocahontas aside, we're going to send out a missionary to the Cherokee. The missionary reports back that they are approaching Christianity with curiousity. https://img826.imageshack.us/img826/5608/sopening314.pngAnd we find the English starting place....all the way at the bottom end of the southern continent. Hi again English! https://img842.imageshack.us/img842/1500/sopening315.pngAlso this year, we learn about being able to do more in a year. From now on, we will be able to issue orders twice a year instead of once! https://img19.imageshack.us/img19/426/sopening316.pnghttps://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5739/sopening317.pngA scout wanders from the Cherokee village we just sent the missionary to. Seems they are on hard times and don't have enough food to get through winter. Since food isn't a problem, we give them half. In exchange they give us a gift of 11 ore. https://img835.imageshack.us/img835/6742/sopening319.pngWooooooooo! In a long series of popups we get to pick a seasoned scout, expert ore miner, master tobacconist, veteran soldier, expert lumberjack, master carpenter, master distiller, and expert silver miner. https://img801.imageshack.us/img801/1763/sopening328.pngAnd to top it off...it appears that the soldier comes armed and with a horse to boot! https://img690.imageshack.us/img690/4826/sopening330.pngAt the very tip of South America we come across some native burial mounds....Let's see what's inside!

Jman4117 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 https://img89.imageshack.us/img89/9817/sopening331u.pngA measly 60 gold. Luckily, we don't enrage the savages down here! https://img171.imageshack.us/img171/6462/sopening334.pnghttps://img217.imageshack.us/img217/6475/sopening335.pngScrew you kingy! https://img684.imageshack.us/img684/9528/sopening336.pnghttps://img849.imageshack.us/img849/2933/sopening337.pngAnd we end up with our warehouses filled with muskets. Time to start exporting so all our work doesn't go to waste. https://img580.imageshack.us/img580/2992/sopening339.pnghttps://img11.imageshack.us/img11/1589/sopening340.pngAlso, we have our max stock of horses so we're going to send some to the indians and get some money for them. 7.4 a head isn't too great, but at least it's something! https://img546.imageshack.us/img546/2725/sopening342.pnghttps://img411.imageshack.us/img411/2391/sopening343.pngIn exchange, we take 100 furs for 271. https://img841.imageshack.us/img841/7002/sopening345.pnghttps://img96.imageshack.us/img96/6761/sopening346.pngAnd the redheaded lawyer from Virginia joins the party. Our statesmen cheer as their output skyrockets! https://img35.imageshack.us/img35/9738/sopening350.pngExcellent, the "king" has added more troops to his forces....Luckily, we have cannons and other such stuff to deal with them.. https://img222.imageshack.us/img222/3514/sopening351.pngNext up: Magellan! https://img84.imageshack.us/img84/5240/sopening352.pnghttps://img27.imageshack.us/img27/9319/sopening353.pngWooooooooo!!!! https://img204.imageshack.us/img204/3348/sopening354.pngShit.. https://img821.imageshack.us/img821/7026/sopening355.pngWith the added liberty bell output, we get higher Sons of Liberty membership. Our capital is now at 81%! https://img201.imageshack.us/img201/4694/sopening356.pngIn the past few years we have built a larger warehouse and now, a college. This allows us to train some of the more advanced skills such as the guys that convert natural resources into finished goods! https://img507.imageshack.us/img507/9995/sopening357.pnghttps://img59.imageshack.us/img59/3325/sopening358.pngIn order to do this, first we need some free colonists. Since we don't really need the seasoned scout or the distiller, we are going to clear their status. We then move a blacksmith to the college and put the two new free colonists to work in his place. In a few years, he will have trained them and we can send them over to another colony to build some tools! https://img7.imageshack.us/img7/6901/sopening360.pnghttps://img37.imageshack.us/img37/3344/sopening361.pngIn the meantime, we have a weaver moving up river to a new city location. Since we aren't on the coast, we get the usual warning about it to try and get us to build on the coast so we end up the victims of the royalist forces when they arrive...anyways, we're naming this one: Fort Nassau! https://img545.imageshack.us/img545/9396/sopening362.pngOur merchantman returns from Amsterdam. She's carrying a full load of immigrants from the Old World, coming to seek freedom in the colonies! https://img402.imageshack.us/img402/3151/sopening363.pngSince our new colony is well...new, and hasn't built a stockpile of food, the Cherokee assume we're starving and deliver several months worth of food. Not complaining, they'll just be back begging eventually, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 https://img259.imageshack.us/img259/4895/sopening365.pngOur ship pulls into port and unloads the new settlers. Since we don't need the scout that came over, we're going to take his horses away and clear his specialty. He will join the other two free colonists at the blacksmith shop while he learns a trade that is actually useful to us at this point of the game: Blacksmithing! Power to the hammers and such! https://img717.imageshack.us/img717/5213/sopening366.pngOh jeez....we're deep in hostile territory and we have found yet another horde of treasure! Let's hope that we can get this back to Amsterdam without getting killed! https://img214.imageshack.us/img214/9523/sopening367.pngMeanwhile in North America we send out that missionary that was shipped over from Europe. He walks into a a Cherokee village and is welcomed warmly. Doesn't look like we're going to be tied to a stake and used for target practice here! https://img577.imageshack.us/img577/5358/sopening368.pngHe preaches to the heathen. They embrace our Dutch Christianity with curiousity. https://img9.imageshack.us/img9/2083/sopening373.pngFew turns later...and we're not dead...yet...Our scout has managed to get north of the Andes so hopefully we're home free.. https://img801.imageshack.us/img801/4318/sopening374.pngHAHAHAHAHAHA! https://img201.imageshack.us/img201/8394/sopening375.pngHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! https://img193.imageshack.us/img193/9035/sopening376.pngOk, back in Amsterdam with our ship. If you see some hardy pioneers for 520? That's an EXCELLENT deal. The tools alone that they carry are worth 400, and this is in essence a veteran pioneer unit which works at twice as quickly as a normal colonist with tools! https://img88.imageshack.us/img88/8118/sopening377.pngYES!! Magellan lets our ships all move one space further in a turn. https://img840.imageshack.us/img840/9751/sopening379.pngAlso, the trip back to Europe through the Pacific ocean is shortened considerably! https://img542.imageshack.us/img542/2113/sopening381.pngFor our next Founding Father, we're going for Drake to allow privateers to get a 50% bonus. This will make them a really practical ship to buy since they are so fast, they are cheap and this bonus gives them attack power equal to a frigate! https://img844.imageshack.us/img844/8458/sopening380.pngYay! https://img821.imageshack.us/img821/641/sopening383.pngIn Amsterdam, we're nearly up to 100% rebels. This is going to be good... https://img255.imageshack.us/img255/4471/sopening384.pngLooks like our scout managed to make it to the coast without being killed! We found a new temporary city here so that we can get this loot back to Europe. https://img155.imageshack.us/img155/5987/sopening385.pngConsidering that we don't have a galleon in our fleet, we're going to let the king transport it for a cut of the loot. https://img526.imageshack.us/img526/5042/sopening386.pngAnd that bastard totally robs us for 1700 gold! https://img823.imageshack.us/img823/9166/sopening389.pngAnd that SOB uses it to buy some more troops! https://img703.imageshack.us/img703/6939/sopening391.pngAnd soon after our other load of treasure if transported. We actually could have just bought a galleon and done that ourselves... https://img715.imageshack.us/img715/748/sopening392.pngWith all the treasure moved to Europe, we disband the city and the scout flees back to our home territory. https://img6.imageshack.us/img6/3738/sopening393.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 https://img826.imageshack.us/img826/6271/sopening394.pngMore indians wander in from the Cherokee nation. We'll put them to work doing what they do best: Menial labor! https://img254.imageshack.us/img254/2392/sopening395.pngBack in Amsterdam we look at the roster of people that wish to leave for the New World. To our surprise, we have an Elder Statesman that wants to leave and only requires 391 to transport! https://img811.imageshack.us/img811/2807/sopening396.pngAnd a farmer wishing to leave as well for 560. Not the excellent deal that the statesman was, but still, less than what he's worth! https://img694.imageshack.us/img694/1680/sopening397.pngAnd to wrap things up, we get another guy to make us some coats before we return back to America. https://img822.imageshack.us/img822/5063/sopening398.pngOh yeah! This pretty much makes our starting colony UNSTOPPABLE! https://img594.imageshack.us/img594/4636/sopening399.pngWe got us a fortress! We got us a fortress! This means that when the King's men show up and want to take our only port city from us, they will have one hell of a time! https://img846.imageshack.us/img846/8863/sopening403.pngYea yea yea, screw you and feel free to add more regulars to put us down! We dump 90 tons into the harbor in pretest of the "king's" tyranny! https://img13.imageshack.us/img13/559/sopening406.pngYes! Finally got one of our guys trained in that. Usually, it's the Iroquios that teach this, not you guys! https://img3.imageshack.us/img3/7459/sopening409.pngAs we gear up for war, this guy becomes very useful. https://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7073/sopening411.pngHe gives the Privateer a 50% boost, making it a respectable warship that can be used for scouting and plundering enemy cargo. https://img7.imageshack.us/img7/6980/sopening414.pngHAHAHAHAHA! https://img37.imageshack.us/img37/3268/sopening418.pngCheap Fisherman? Check https://img543.imageshack.us/img543/696/sopening419.png$3000 Galleon? Check https://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4844/sopening421.png6 people bound for the New World? CHECK! https://img213.imageshack.us/img213/6231/sopening424.pngAnd while we have the Merchantman here, we buy 2 lumberjacks and 2 blacksmiths to go to America as well. https://img195.imageshack.us/img195/584/sopening425.pngIn New Amsterdam, we finish the Drydock, which will allow us to conduct repairs on our damaged vessels locally without having to send them back to Europe. Next, we start on the Shipyard, so that we can build our own warships! https://img100.imageshack.us/img100/6906/sopening429.pngWe send out one of the ore miners to found a city near some ore deposits. We call the new settlemen: Vlissingen https://img145.imageshack.us/img145/7482/sopening431.pngBack in the capital, we set to work retraining a tobacconist as a fur trapper! https://img831.imageshack.us/img831/9260/sopening435.pngWhen our ships return to Europe, we only seem to have criminals remaining for recruitment but fear not! https://img513.imageshack.us/img513/3504/sopening436.pngThey make perfectly good missionaries so long as we go to a church and bless them as such! https://img821.imageshack.us/img821/1804/sopening437.pngAlso, 2 farmers.. https://img521.imageshack.us/img521/2035/sopening438.pngand 2 cannon. https://img713.imageshack.us/img713/8605/sopening440.pngOnward! https://img337.imageshack.us/img337/4594/sopening441.pngAnd another useful combat founding father joins us: George Washington https://img854.imageshack.us/img854/4185/sopening442.pngWhen he commands troops, they get to veteran status after winning only one combat! This is great considering that usually it's totally random if a unit achieves veteran status! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going over to those lakes to found a new colony. https://img684.imageshack.us/img684/4263/sopening471.pngAnd we're calling it: Curacao https://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8119/sopening472.pngWe get another fur trapper and send him to Fort Nassau....he makes 40 per turn! https://img42.imageshack.us/img42/4488/sopening473.pngDammit! https://img59.imageshack.us/img59/2833/sopening474.pngYay!

This guy is important if we're going to break with the Netherlands! https://img266.imageshack.us/img266/3476/sopening497.pngHe gives every colony an additional 20%. This means that when we have a colony at max, like our capital, and then we add people, it won't go down below 100%! https://img840.imageshack.us/img840/4962/sopening501.pngOur frigate slides down the shute into the harbor! https://img39.imageshack.us/img39/3750/sopening502.pngAnd we begin building our Privateer! https://img855.imageshack.us/img855/8122/sopening508.pngBack on the docks we load up some more useless people and 4 loads of trade goods! https://img641.imageshack.us/img641/8708/sopening510.pngAnd with all these additional people coming in, we're going to build one final colony: Recife https://img577.imageshack.us/img577/2717/sopening511.pngMeanwhile, in Port Orange, one of our trade cavavans is standing by waiting on our weavers to finally get through all this cotton...as a note, the starting price for the cloth coming from that factory is 18.....any bets on how long it's going to stay there? https://img210.imageshack.us/img210/2871/sopening512.pngScrew you, we're not accepting a 6% raise on our taxes when it's something we don't even trade AT ALL... https://img40.imageshack.us/img40/8418/sopening516.pngFREE FRIGATE FOR US! https://img526.imageshack.us/img526/1355/sopening526.pngHrm....we'll stop buying that now, 4 is just too high for trinkets and beads! https://img211.imageshack.us/img211/8706/sopening528.pngTime to scout the seas! https://img545.imageshack.us/img545/3249/sopening534.pngAnd the cloth falls $4... https://img155.imageshack.us/img155/2622/sopening535.pngHiho Frenchman! https://img213.imageshack.us/img213/6021/sopening536.pngMoar statesmen! https://img507.imageshack.us/img507/4715/sopening545.pngAnd we get some Paul Revere action going on. https://img703.imageshack.us/img703/5943/sopening547.pngHe allows random colonists to pick up any muskets in a city in order to defend against an attack. https://img841.imageshack.us/img841/962/sopening551.png8... https://img145.imageshack.us/img145/8171/sopening553.pngBack in Amsterdam, we start to just recruit the ore miners for 600 because it's cheaper to just convert them into free colonist and train them as we want them now that we're getting independent in every way but in name.. https://img845.imageshack.us/img845/7094/sopening554.pngYeah! The English bastards are trying to prey on shipping from our city...Little do they know, we have loads of cannon within the walls of our fortress! https://img706.imageshack.us/img706/4527/sopening555.pngFIRE! https://img16.imageshack.us/img16/716/sopening556.png56 firepower with a 50% bonus and we only damage their little 8 firepower ship?!?!?!?!?!!! https://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7108/sopening563.pngIn the meantime, our Privateer enters English waters to return the favor. https://img560.imageshack.us/img560/912/sopening564.pngAnd we send their little Caravel to the bottom!

What ever shall we do! https://img155.imageshack.us/img155/8409/sopening593.pngWell, I guess the shot fell short or something. Our broadside however, doesn't! https://img833.imageshack.us/img833/6619/sopening598.pngOur galleon sails back into port in Amsterdam. We load up on more people to train into soldiers! https://img803.imageshack.us/img803/1253/sopening599.pngYay! https://img194.imageshack.us/img194/7979/sopening601.pngOn the way home from the English town, we encounter a Privateer! https://img593.imageshack.us/img593/949/sopening603.pngFIRE! https://img42.imageshack.us/img42/53/sopening604.pngOh ye! https://img209.imageshack.us/img209/1999/sopening607.pngAnd we get that party animal Ben in the Congress! Woot Woot! https://img542.imageshack.us/img542/9013/sopening608.pngNow we can be at peace with enemy colonials even if the home country doesn't want us to be. Is it relevant to us? Nope? Do we care?

Jman4117 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 https://img171.imageshack.us/img171/1530/sopening610.pngExcellent! We got some new soldiers! https://img145.imageshack.us/img145/8008/sopening611.pngAnd we go to take care of that Privateer that keeps coming back... https://img600.imageshack.us/img600/3333/sopening612.pngIt evades our ship! https://img824.imageshack.us/img824/8697/sopening613.pngAnd it evades the other! https://img685.imageshack.us/img685/9567/sopening614.pngNever turn? It opens fire! https://img689.imageshack.us/img689/8287/sopening615.pngAnd our Frigate has to put in for repairs...Shenanigans! https://img824.imageshack.us/img824/4440/sopening617.pngMoments later, our remaining ship opens up on the Privateer! Die! https://img35.imageshack.us/img35/8020/sopening618.pngGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! https://img94.imageshack.us/img94/7589/sopening619.pngAnd it fires on our ship again....it better not sink it... https://img59.imageshack.us/img59/9418/sopening620.pngWoooo! Our ship holds its own agains the English and they are forced to return to London since they don't have a New World drydock to repair! https://img705.imageshack.us/img705/9079/sopening626.pngYay...I think. https://img84.imageshack.us/img84/6568/sopening627.pngThis guy lets us pick who we want out of a list of 3 people. Useful if you're the English and really dependent on immigrants, but that's not us. https://img545.imageshack.us/img545/8613/sopening631.pngHI! https://img838.imageshack.us/img838/4343/sopening632.pnghttps://img716.imageshack.us/img716/6580/sopening633.pnghttps://img100.imageshack.us/img100/6455/sopening634.pnghttps://img821.imageshack.us/img821/5482/sopening635.pngSince they had cargo, we get it! https://img12.imageshack.us/img12/1350/sopening636.pngAnd the English vessel sinks to the bottom while we are looting the wreckage! https://img705.imageshack.us/img705/355/sopening638.pngAnd we're throwing that into the ocean too! https://img62.imageshack.us/img62/4669/sopening640.pngTom Paine is one of the middle of the road guys. https://img6.imageshack.us/img6/5415/sopening641.pngHe's decent, but doesn't really function at his best unless there's a high tax rate, and well....we've been boycotting goods so... https://img651.imageshack.us/img651/9248/sopening642.pngGreetings powdered wig man! https://img855.imageshack.us/img855/4081/sopening643.pngYou want peace?

Jman4117 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 https://img16.imageshack.us/img16/2976/sopening648.pngGuess who's back?!?!?!?! https://img521.imageshack.us/img521/1372/sopening649.pngAnd it doesn't go back home this time! https://img528.imageshack.us/img528/1081/sopening650.pngExcellent! https://img88.imageshack.us/img88/1517/sopening652.pngWith our frontier colonies getting statesmen, this number is just rocketing up! https://img560.imageshack.us/img560/1686/sopening653.pngNew guy! https://img20.imageshack.us/img20/4886/sopening654.pngBOORING! https://img16.imageshack.us/img16/2144/sopening655.pngAnd his royal highness has just added more troops to oppress these colonies! https://img853.imageshack.us/img853/91/sopening657.pngRemember my comment about picking the colonist being useless? I take that back! https://img138.imageshack.us/img138/3093/sopening659.pngAnd in New Amsterdam...Our army appears to be ready! https://img845.imageshack.us/img845/3370/sopening661.pngAnd another pretty useless guy joins! https://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9242/sopening662.pngGood if you're the Spanish I guess, but we're the Dutch! https://img84.imageshack.us/img84/2978/sopening663.pngOur most inland colony, Recife, has just risen above 50% in favor of independence. This means that we may now safely rebel and Recife will not join the Loyalists! https://img856.imageshack.us/img856/7158/sopening664.pngAnd we will be throwing those into the ocean too! https://img528.imageshack.us/img528/1382/sopening667.pngYep! Buying two! https://img32.imageshack.us/img32/5659/sopening668.pngOnward! https://img208.imageshack.us/img208/8513/sopening670.pngOur massive liberty bell production is really bringing in the final founding fathers. They go up in cost as you get more of them but we're getting them about every 6-7 turns now! https://img802.imageshack.us/img802/6396/sopening671.pngAnd he's another useless one unless we were going to kill everyone and needed to find everything on the map.. https://img163.imageshack.us/img163/7969/sopening672.pngAnd another pretty useless guy. https://img542.imageshack.us/img542/5832/sopening673.pngWell, not useless, but you definately want to wait until near the end to get him since he's the only way to get converts to be free colonists. https://img211.imageshack.us/img211/2723/sopening674.pngTo be safe, we're taking Recife way up to make sure nothing goes wrong. https://img59.imageshack.us/img59/5057/sopening677.pngAnd I believe this is the last guy. https://img834.imageshack.us/img834/3387/sopening678.pngTotally useless if you have a customs house. In fact, he's going to make us throw more stuff into the ocean all over again and waste it! Anyways... We can now declare our independence from the vile and tyrannical Netherlands! Who's with me!?!?!

Jman4117 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 https://img401.imageshack.us/img401/5277/sopening681.pngScrew you king! https://img23.imageshack.us/img23/3381/sopening683.pngManning the walls of New Amsterdam we have a vast multitude of dragoons to deal with this offense to the people of Dutch America! https://img339.imageshack.us/img339/9968/sopening684.pngAnd everyone here is pissed with the "king"...We should do something! https://img140.imageshack.us/img140/7526/sopening685.pngSomething like, revolting against unjust Dutch rule! https://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8098/sopening686.pngRepresentatives from all the Dutch colonies meet in New Amsterdam. Views are expressed and it's pretty clear, that none of them wish to live under European tyranny. https://img525.imageshack.us/img525/457/sopening687.pngOur ambassidors inform the king that we no longer recognize Dutch rule in the colonies. An army is raised, for there will surely be Dutch reprisals to this uprising! https://img404.imageshack.us/img404/479/sopening689.pngMear weeks later, a Dutch Man-of-War arrives to blockade the harbor of New Amsterdam. https://img442.imageshack.us/img442/8537/sopening690.pngShe puts out troops who begin their march on the Capitol. https://img140.imageshack.us/img140/2702/sopening691.pngLuckily for us, they are trained in the European style of combat where lines of men pick out a field, stand in neat rows and shoot at each other. We however have learned guerilla tactics from the natives. We will use this to our advantage! https://img833.imageshack.us/img833/5703/sopening692.pngThis just in: We have received a message through our ambassidor to France. They are willing to come to our aid if we prove our willingness to commit to independence. This shouldn't take over about a year or so! https://img717.imageshack.us/img717/5310/sopening693.pngEvery soldier that is based in a colony gets promoted! There's a new unit now above the veteran soldier: The Contintental! https://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9103/sopening702.pngINCOMING! https://img571.imageshack.us/img571/2285/sopening703.pngOur fortress takes a hit! One of the guns in battery is damaged! https://img856.imageshack.us/img856/8840/sopening717.pngThe Tories fire again! https://img542.imageshack.us/img542/9238/sopening718.pngThis time, they miss and our fort returns fire damaging the Tory gun. https://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7622/sopening724.pngAlso, a unit of their Cavalry charges and is cut down! https://img59.imageshack.us/img59/3420/sopening726.pnghttps://img233.imageshack.us/img233/91/sopening729.pngIn retaliation, a pair of our Continental Cavalry ambush some Tory Regulars, decimating them! https://img826.imageshack.us/img826/1940/sopening734.pnghttps://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9052/sopening735.pngBOOM! https://img26.imageshack.us/img26/460/sopening739.pngPrepare to die! https://img690.imageshack.us/img690/9030/sopening740.pnghttps://img805.imageshack.us/img805/6509/sopening742.pngHA! https://img407.imageshack.us/img407/9756/sopening745.pnghttps://img542.imageshack.us/img542/995/sopening746.pngNeener neener!

Yes they can! https://img703.imageshack.us/img703/7445/sopening768.pngAnd they are promoted to the highest level! https://img585.imageshack.us/img585/8260/sopening779.pngAnother wave of Dutch show up. Our ship moves on them but is slowed due to them being scary! https://img856.imageshack.us/img856/905/sopening780.pngFIRE! https://img443.imageshack.us/img443/368/sopening781.pngAnother Man-of-War sunk! https://img696.imageshack.us/img696/9898/sopening783.pngA lone cannon remains! https://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7181/sopening784.pngIt fires, misses, we return on it and we wipe it out! https://img195.imageshack.us/img195/5992/sopening793.pngThe captain on the Dutch Man-of-War surrenders and peace talks are negotiated! https://img51.imageshack.us/img51/531/sopening794.pngThe king begrudgingly accepts our independence. https://img819.imageshack.us/img819/5008/sopening795.pngYEAH! Liberty bells ring all over the land! https://img16.imageshack.us/img16/6074/sopening796.pngOur score: 1922. Not too bad, but we could have done better. Probably from waiting and getting a HUGE population that spanned the whole continent. https://img805.imageshack.us/img805/4919/sopening797.pngAnd for our efforts, we get a medal named after us!
