The year is 1492 and all is well in the Spanish empire. The moors have almost been thrown of Iberia and the coffers are full. To find details on what I ask of you skin down the post to the section with you title nest to it and please comply with what I ask. With no further ado let the grand council of Spain converge upon these matters.
Chief of Army; You have 40k worth of men at your finger tips with a rather fine general at their head. I have positioned them to march into Grenada and expel the moors, but will change their course if you order it.
High Admiral; A skilled Portuguese explorer has joined thee ranks of our navy and we have five ships to aid him. You may want to supply him with more ships before sending him on his way. 15 galleys are stationed in the Med. Sea feel free to do what you wish with them.
Foreign Minister; We have a military alliance with England and Milan. For the most part we have positive 125 relations with all the German states and Eastern Europe. Negative rating of one sort of another with the muslin countries, and France. Everyone else is neutral toward us. Your suggestions as to who to try and be friends with are accepted.
Minister of Finance; 600 gold 0 inflation have fun. I would like a long and short term budget strategy and to know what to do with the money remember we have an explorer to found. One CoT with level 3 control. Merchants coming in at a rate of 3.4 per year. 4 traders currently at your disposal.
Advisors; Domestic policy changes and general advice as to where our explorer should go.
Colonial Governor; Ultimately you decide where to send our explorer and once there what to colonize 4 colonists more on the way.
My Opinion and About the World; This will be part of every update in which I will put in my two cents and tell of world affairs. I will just say this time that I favor sending our explorer along the coast of Aftrica.
FOR REFERENCE ONLY
The following is a summary of posts from the post thread look at it only if you have forgotten something. Otherwise it makes a boring read.
Hello and welcome to the newly created collaborative thread. This is the second generation of a failed idea I recently started. The last try at this failed due to a deleted save file. This thread will survive and prosper. The general idea is that you the reader will give me commands as to how to play out a campaign as a certain country.
The way to give said advice is simple. Just post your ideas on how to manage any aspect of the country. Anything at all from colonization to military conquest. The decisions you make will be based upon information I provide in a detailed description of the current country situation. I will ask general questions which you will answer. The results will then be computed and 20 years of game play done.
In this manner we will guide a country through an epic tail of history. I will not just follow random suggestion that appear on the board. Your advice will be weighted upon your forum rank, your strategic ability, and whether you receive a command position. What is a command position one might ask this is a simple version of the answer.
The government will be broken done into departments such as foreign affairs, and the army. Heading each department will be a reader who proves themself capable by merely asking for the job, and giving sound advice. A full list of the possible jobs is being decided upon and will be posted next weekend. I assume at this point there will be around 13.
Veterans of my last attempt should read this carefully. I will make several changes to the format. First I thought that we might reorganize the armed forces. Splitting it into armies and fleets that would be put under the control of lesser generals. This is of course all with the orders of my Chief of Army. I believe that several new positions can be created and I would enjoy increasing the number of active posters.
Let me just give some basic rules. One no spamming in this thread. I will be very unpleased with such posts. Please try to not post the same thing multiple times. While you may argue with other posters over the course of action do not be insulting or rude. Other than that no worries
Screen shots will be provided and I hope that all interested say so in a post formal listing of possible positions and first round updates comes this weekend. In the mean time I ask two questions what country to play and in which campaign. I do have this question posted in different thread so the answer might come from there. I hope this will be fun time for the avid strategist.
Postions please chose now.
Chief of Army; Decides movements of forces and defense based upon detailed descriptions of the world I will provide. This will be the most challenging position as no screen shots are available sorry.
High Admiral; In charge of all naval exploration and combat. Still no screen shots.
Advisor; 5 people may offer their services for this job for the most part they help to decide the things that do not fall into any category, and help out on all topics.
Minister of Finance; Decides on budget and improvement of infrastructure.
Foreign Minister; Sets up relations and forges all alliances. They will also help to make peace or be the advisor to declare war with permission from a majority of advisors.
Colonial Gevenor; Decides where, when, and how much to colinize.
General; 5 of these can be created. Suggests information on troop and fleet movement.
You must choose a postion and then remember the name and what your job is as this thread will be deleted before the actual game starts.
