Looking at the supplies list, I guess you want us to vote on which Specialists we want? Or will they be randomly generated?

And yeah. I wanta go with human as our leader.
You can choose which specialists you get. I'm not so cruel as to set you on a lifeless island with 5 naturalists, or something.

Yeah, I wouldn't really call elves charismatic anyway.  Now dwarves, they know diplomacy!  :D
But yeah, let's go with the human.  And about how big is the island?  Would we be able to monitor the whole isle?
An outpost situated at the top of the Volcano can see the entire island, but I doubt you'd able to control it all with just 10 soldiers.

im going with the jungles so we can baptize the elfs :P
They're elves?  I thought they were just native peoples.
I'm not giving any information on the natives shape,peacefullness or other charastics.

Steamologist? Why? A master ship builder might be useful though. (Although I don't know if such a thing is a specialist or just a well practiced lower class.)

Uh. How do you know that? It says we have electricity for one. And steam is almost never a power source, it just a a step between fuel source and physical work.

Steam is a medium of power. You can't get steam out of the ground (Volcanos don't count)

Wood, charcoal, Phlogiston(basically the element of fire), and Volts are all powersources used by the imperium.

19 the century steampunk Victorian semi romanticism England. Volts are gathered from the clouds and spread by Tesla Coil, of course. Though they can be generated in factories.

I vote volcano. I don't mind who the specialists are.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

Volcanic island; two engineers, a geologist, an overseer, and one of the various power experts.
