I'm going to need to make an area for military and trade assets, aren't I. New rule! Post all buildings and upgrades you have, that includes if you have a militia and amount of ships. Also post treasury, my major nemisis in this game. Just as a repeat, everyone has one medium ship, an indiaman. Proelia is finally following history and making itself a merchant navy. Also, it takes one turn to build things from now on. I'll do your post for you in this update, but it will make thing much easier for me. I'm also abolishing the money system as I don't like doing many calculations, and most of the turns are spent doing calculations. Colony: Proelia

Mine deeper. We need serious cash right now.
precious ore struck.

Right after you say you need cash? Construct a wood mill using the lumber and stone blocks.
I see why you wanted the wood.Start cutting down trees and turning them into lumber.
lumber stockpile made. If we have enough money left over, build ships so we can easily trade with all the colonies.
Finaly, someone starts the ship industry. Construction on a sloop is begun, and 5 cannons are available to be mounted on this ship on each side. This should bring in enough extra cash once complete to usher in a new era of ship building in the colonies. Or not, maybe it will fail miserably.

1. Assign more workers to the factory.
Whats a factory?2. Begin mining in force.
3. Begin production of suits of armor.
What exactly is the technology level? Do we have access to clockwork?
What is the state of magic?
This is helpful for the production of the signature Pantsian soldier.
Tech level currently is the age of sails, eventualy if we get to it, it will be the industrial age. The Pantasian soldier is the best soldier in the world at this time, but it is located in the country of Pantasia.

Yep. No natives still hanging around.
there are some, but they are outside of colonial possession; you kicked them out in several bloody wars. 10% percent of all colonists died in one war, although it was an early one. Continue house construction.
The exponential housing cost is making it to expensive to continue. You instead opt sell off lumber for people to construct their ownI don't know why it double spaced for someClear 5-10 acres worth of forest.
Do we have any clear, flat land? If so, construct a farm on it.

Another letter is sent to Sir Ian Kaeden Ainsworth of New Veragua
Sir Ainsworth,
I have contacted the injuns to the south and established an embassy.
They have agreed not to mess with us. I will continue courting more
active assistance from them. I may try to send some to your encampents
so that they may impart their quaint yet useful knowledge upon our
troops.
In other news I am considering departing for the homeland and perhaps
other neutral and friendly european ports to raise some support for the
colonial cause. If I am to do so, can I count on my neighbor to the
South to watch my colony in my absence?
I will leave the our military strategy up to you, but I would like to
know what you have in mind. Are we hunkering down and just going to ride
out the storm? Raid and pillage? So long as you are willing to defend my
land, consider yourself (or a general of your choice) commander and
chief over my troops. Try to capture and hold Spanish lands? If you
share your plans with me, I can keep them in mind in my dealings with
the Injuns and European courts.
As my neighbor and ally on the front lines you have my full faith and
support. Godspeed to us all.
Regards
-Timothy Mayor II
I can't criticize your word injun, because it was used in the
northern black-faced minstrel play Dixie. Fun fact, Dixie was written in
Ohio, near Lincoln's home. Fun fact, Abraham Lincoln liked the song and
had it played when he received news of Lee's surrender. ---

troops move south. 1: Harvest and sell cotton. While my boats are in England they should
buy cannons for Sir Ainsworth, dogs for my people, and muskets for the
militia. Dogs should be shipped to Freekennels, Military Goods should be
sent to New Veragua. Spend a majority of available funds (and the funds
sent from New Veragua) if possible.
Guess how popular the dogs are.
The new mayor of {insert name of town} is a mixed breed beagle. He
looks to succeed you as governor, . 2: Timothy Mayor II rides with the cotton harvest to Europe where he
will take a tour and entertain various British and German Nobles and
Military Officers with stories of life in the colonies. He will try to
get his new friends to divert any troops, money, and military supplies
that can be spared to Sir Ainsworth's encampment.
The gentry of
Britain see you as a reject, even though you have more money than many
of them put together. 3: Timothy Mayor II will visit Oxford University and try to recruit
professors and good students to come to the colonies to study and teach

1) Mine harder!
Log faster!
Farm Better!
Stockpile money, goods and raw materials of all kinds. FOR TRADE!
2) Set up trade with the nearest colonies to earn as much money as
possible.
3) Raise taxes to a level that wont aggravate the populace, at least not
too much You very cautiously set taxes to a non quantitative number.
The colonist are confused as in Highlesia. A simmiliar event to the
problem with Eulas today occurs.

Sell Morningglow-flavored beer as Sunrise Ale. What's the difference
between beer and ale, anyways? The people still don't care, alchohol
is alcohol, but this is more expensive. What do you think they buy.

WAR!!!!!
The Northern Border
~~Year One
At first the French are nowhere to be seen. In late April, they arrive
with an army of Native Archers and Militia and march on the wall.
Colonist troops start to fire on the enemy from the wall under captain
Arthur P. Wilson. The enemy marches on the wall taking fire, but due to
the muskets inaccuracy, they did not kill many men. Captain Arthur P.
Wilson sat there and watched the battle unfold from the back. The enemy
was in range to fire. Unfortunately for them, they were in range of
musket fire now and were taking massive casualties. The troops finally
pulled back and a general retreat was ordered.
~Arthur P. Wilson~
Asks the colonies to launch an invasion of the French colonies.
The militia don't want to fight, but will if pressed (2). Like many
people, now promoted to general, General Wilson does not like Militia.
War will proceed in mini updates like this, post your war actions
Southern Front
~~Year One
The Spanish did not show up for war. Must be planning something. Or
not. But Commander Charles L. Navarette thinks so. He wants to invade
too in a nationalistic show of pride. Also known as Hubris (1). The
troops do not want to go to war and die (2).
You guys should probably discuss war plans. Turns are 3 years each, so
there are three war turns with potentially more than one battle each
especially when armies get to be big stacks of 40000 men.
Warfare will be roll to dodge type combat influenced by traits and such.
~King and Parliament~
Parliament debates on unifying taxes in the colonies and solving the tax
problem.
That failed. Parliament was devided on what taxes should be.
Kings move. The navy is sent to blockade the English Channel.
~~Naval Warfare~~
Because communication at sea is hard you cannot give orders to your
admirals.
The only person with a combat fleet is Lindiria.
Your privateers go off on their merry way. They sink 3 galleons and
reap in the spoils. As a reaction the Spanish commision pirate hunters
to hunt them down.
The king takes his fleet and sends it to blockade the english channel. A big battle takes place and The French lose. They always lose. No offense to French people 
It was expected. They held their own though and the British fleet are forced to stay in the channel patroling for the french. The French lose 2 ships of their 8. The Spanish send their fleet to deal with piracy in the carribean. They catch 2/8 of the privateers and hang the captains. Piracy does not hit anyone, due to the widespread naval warfare. 
I'm still alive, but terrified, because it is my first game of this not demoed.
