Your friendly flag dealer informs:

In case you guys need a vectorized (scalable) version of your flag (not sure there is one yet), here's a link to an inkscape file. Feel free to use and alter as you please - but please make a copy for yourself first :wink:

Sample in 500px (follow link to 800px version):

And a version with a... thin silver lining (might be helpful these days):

Coming soon to a colony near you:

Our good Captain doesn't think Eslandrama, Dramandola, Eslandola (That's it! :pir-laugh:) should be the only thing on the news these days!

Cruisers of New Terra

Citizens of Corrington, shipwrights of the Brick Seas. The Royal Navy has decided to outfit three squadrons of cruisers for New Terra to counter the build-up of Olean, Eslandian, and Mardierian Forces. Each squadron will be commanded by a commodore, and consist of a flagship and two consorts. The flagship will be a sixth rate frigate, while the consorts may be heavy sloops, post-ships or sixth rate frigates. 6th rates and post-ships will be bought into service for a net of 75 dbs, while heavy sloops (bobs class 5) will be bought for 50 dbs. For each squadron, the best design will grant the shipwright the right to appoint the commodore, a perfect chance to help the career of a gifted friend or family member!

All vessels will be licensed by the crown as necessary and be granted the honour of bearing the prefix “HMS”. Further, her Majesty's favourite ship will be granted the exquisite right to bear her own name and will be awarded with a prize of the builders choice from the current dry-docked captures.

 

Red Squadron:

  • HMS... by Micah of Wolfhaven (Silentwolf), 6th rate
  • HMS… by
  • HMS… by

Black Squadron:

  • HMS... by
  • HMS… by
  • HMS… by

White Squadron

  • HMS Royal Oak by (Ayrlego), 6th rate
  • HMS… by
  • HMS… by

The crown aims at launching the squadrons in succession, until such a time that all nine vessels are operational, protecting the interests of Corrington in New Terra. Sign up now to help shore up the Oaken Wall protecting our freedom of thought and action. All three squadrons will be used for a wide variety of tasks including combat patrols, pirate hunting, escorts and assisting our land forces.

Micah of Wolfhaven would personally like to sign up to build a ship for the crown's new squadrons.

The Crown is honoured to accept your offer. Do you have a preference as to what squadron to build for, and what type of vessel you will contribute with?

Being a man of order, I will choose the Red Squadron as it is on top. I am going to attempt a sixth rate.

I was planning on refitting the Black Oak from the last challenge as a sixth rate and renaming her Royal Oak. I need to re-do her sails and am planning a huge Corrish ensign. Would she be acceptable for the flagship of one of the squadrons? (my preference would be for white squadron!)

 

EDIT: oh and no reward is necessary. As a prize of war I am happy to donate her to the crown for nothing :pir-classic:

@Ayrlego Even before a refit she was a magnificent vessel, and with a new rig, the Crown will be happy to accept the Royal Oak as flagship for the White squadron.

@SilentWolf On behalf of the Crown and the Royal Navy, I thank you.

Such efforts in support of the crown will not be forgotten.

That should be Wolfhaven... :laugh:

 

In other news I've been having trouble with Firefox and Chrome giving my laptop the blue screen of death so have been using only Microsoft Edge which seems immune to the problem. However it will let me visit every page of Eurobricks except for BoBS which it always declares is experiencing difficulty. :pir-murder: So I'm back in Firefox posting this hoping my computer doesn't crash again.

Ska sent me the map originals but ironically as soon as I received them, life's pace picked back up and I've yet to finish another island. I'm out of town this weekend and with the Holidays just around the corner, progress on them is not looking too bright until after the new year. One bright speck on the horizon is however that Fort Arlin is practically finished just needing a few final touches and a place to display it for a photo shoot. 80 x 80 studs is somewhat challenging to move around....

Thanks, Mike, that name should he fixed now ;)

As to browsers, I find that the good old internet explorer sometimes can get the job done when all else fails.

Further, I think we are all looking forward to seeing fort Arlin after the great teaser you posted a while back! Have a proper reward been discussed?

Another update on the cruisers. Captain Dee has announced that he will aim at adding at least one ship to the squadrons. Likewise, the Montoya estate is planning on doing so too.

Corrington shall rule the brick seas!

Colonial Governance

The Corlander colonies have, for administrative and strategic purposes, been grouped in enclaves under a colonial governor. Both military and civilian responsibilities fall under the colonial governors, who report directly to the Minister of the Colonies. They will command Royal Navy and Royal Army assets, and coordinate defense and expeditions, within their region. Additional ressources will be assigned to enclaves on a case to case basis. (I.e. the enclaves have no separate budget)

Mayors and Commanders within the enclaves maintain sovereignty and responsibility over their own settlement, but will report to the governor, who will coordinate military and civilian efforts. Some settlements are not part of an enclave, and functions independently.

The colonies are currently organised as detailed below, and as new islands are added to the crown, they will be added to the current enclaves, a new enclave established, or established as independent settlements. Over time, the organisation will be adjusted as needed.

  • Colonial Enclaves
    • The Southern Isles. (Cocovia and Alicentia)
      Colonial Governor: Cpt. Jonathan Cooke (Bregir)
      • Quinsville, Cocovia
        Sir Thomas Smaugton (Tomsche), Mayor
      • King's Harbour, Cocovia
        Cpt. Jonathan Cooke (Bregir), Commander
      • Mooreton Bay, Alicentia
        James Hume (Ayrlego), Commander
      • Hussar's Isle Outpost, Cocovia
        Lt. Sharp (Bregir), Commander
    • The Northern Reaches (Lacryma and Serentia)
      Colonial Governor: Vacant
      • Stormhaven, Serentia
        Jack Bain (Mike S), Mayor
      • Elizabethville, Lacryma
        Tom Mercer (Silentwolf), Mayor
    • The Paradise Isles (Celestia, Cascadia, and Garma's Key)
      Colonial Governor: Major Dirk Allcock
      • Jameston, Celestia
        Major Dirk Allcock (Ayrlego), Commander
      • Port Woodhouse, Garma's Key
        Colonel Andrew Howe (Ayrlego), Commander
  • Independent settlements
    • Arlinsport, Tiberia
      Mason Denear (NPC), Mayor
    • Port Raleigh, Anetta (Berelli)
      Erie Flynn (Skaforhire), Mayor
    • The Island of Flowers
      No settlements

As such, the crown is proud to announce the appointment of the following colonial governors:

  • Captain Jonathan Cooke, RN, for the position of Colonial Governor of the Southern Isles.
  • Major Dirk Allcock, RA, for the position of Colonial Governor of the Paradise Isles.

The gentlemen in question are hereby required and directed to assume their positions directly, and do anything compatible with their duty to her Majesty to further the interest of the Crown and its Citizens. Failing to do so will lead to court martial with all the consequences such may entail.

Further appointments will be made based on merit, interest, and necessity.

Sincerely

Rear Admiral Fletcher,

Royal Navy

Remember, there are many ways in which to advance in Corlander Government. Should such be of interest to you, start building in that direction, and work towards it in your storyline. If you are in doubt what such a position would entail, or how to be considered eligible, ask your local leader about it. Don't expect to be appointed after a few builds, but on the other hand, don't expect it to take 6 years of labourous building either!
