To all the citizens, nations, and peoples of the Brick Seas!

The nation of Eslandola, being currently busily prosecuting its war with the preying nation of Mardier, brought on by said nation’s ruthless and unprovoked attacks upon Eslandolan shipping of all kinds without the slightest discrimination, does this day (October 12th, 616) offer a letter of marque to privateers of the honourable nations of Corrington and Oleon (and Eslandola, of course), as well as to any free-lancers of good reputation, granting the captains of ships holding said letter the right to attack and take any warships sailing the Mardierian flag, as well as any warships sailing under a Mardierian letter of marque – which ships shall be considered as right and lawful prizes of war in all courts.  The High Council of Eslandola shall further reward any captain that may accept this letter of marque with full possession of any vessels taken by his ship, as well as a reward of 110 gold doubloons for any Mardierian warship (or any warship allied with said disgraced nation) sunk or captured, to be paid by the crown upon proof of the fact. 

Signed,

The High Council of Eslandola -

To the High Council of Eslandola,

After renewed claims pressed on the Olean Throne by the Sovereign of Eslandola, the Crown of Corrington hereby announces a state of Armed Neutrality. We desire no part in your conflict with Oleon, and find it a gross transgression against the pursuit of peace in Halos. Thus, any Eslandian forces found to be trespassing on Corlander soil or territorial waters for the purposes of military action against Oleon will be met with full retribution of Her Majesty's armed forces. Or forces have been placed on high alert, and will be ready to interfere.

We hereby consider you adequately forewarned.

In the name of her Majesty, Queen Annetta

Don Isaac Montoya

Lead Consul

Corrington

Be it known that,

In response to the belligerency of a Certain Kingdom of Mardier,

The ruling bodies of the realms of Eslandola and Garvey hereby agree:

During the duration of this Treaty, no aggressive acts shall be Permitted by any citizen or entity of Garvey, or the Empire of Garvey itself, upon any citizen or entity of Eslandola, or the Empire of Eslandola itself, except in cases of Prior Misconduct as determined by the Courts of each nation working in peaceful conjunction.

Also during the duration of this Treaty, no aggressive acts shall be Permitted by any citizen or entity of Eslandola, or the Empire of Eslandola itself, upon any citizen or entity of Garvey, or the Empire of Garvey itself, except in cases of Prior Misconduct as determined by the Courts of each nation working in peaceful conjunction.

Moreover, each Empire binds itself toward a cooperative spirit and the maintenance of a united front against Mardier.  Neither Empire may come to any Agreement with Mardier without the cognizance and consent of the other member of this Treaty.  Each Empire must hold itself in readiness to come to the aid of the other in all Reasonable cases of Mardierian Threat.  Each Empire binds itself to maintain open and amicable Diplomatic Communication with the other during the duration of this Treaty.

Should any violation of the above stipulations take place, the Courts of each nation are to work in peaceful conjunction as long as possible towards a satisfactory conclusion. If either nation shows itself belligerent, unsupportive, or recalcitrant, it will be construed as a virtual dissolution of the Treaty which may then be considered null and void by the unoffending nation.

This Treaty may be dissolved, upon a month's warning, by either of the participants giving due notice to the other of their intention towards dissolution.  Otherwise, it will come to a natural dissolution upon the termination of the aforementioned War with Mardier.

Signed,

Guy K. Wyndzon

Eslandolans all!  

Given the recent developments in the Old World, culminating in the signing of the Magna Charta by King Fernando Augusto VIII, it behooves our glorious nation to gather together its store of wisdom, ingenuity, and justice, in the formation of the New World Colonial Council of Eslandola... also known as the Colonial Congress, or Colonial Parliament of Eslandola.

The High Council invites all members of the glorious kingdom of Eslandola to respond and to fire away with such suggestions, ideas, etc. relating to the subject, for the purpose of establishing a form of government which may be satisfactory to all in the discussion thread.  For wealth, doubloons, gold, etc., etc.  For Eslandola!

This might have been asked before but my attempt at searching did not yield useful results. How do you make these island maps? Is there a generator somewhere online? Thanks!

@Gmt, ask this in the main "Introduction and Starting" thread, as the folks that make the maps aren't part of the Eslandola faction. @SkaForHire makes the official maps, and @Mike S has been making some great maps as well.

If you're considering joining the game, welcome! And if you're considering joining Eslandola, welcome aboard! In either case, feel free to ask questions!

Calling All Shipwrights

eslandola_wants_you_01_resized.jpg

The naval arms race has taken off as of late in the Brick Seas. Although we have stopped King Fernando from attacking Oleon, the bluecoat response has been to order the construction of SIX ships-of-the-line. Corrington has responded to recent events by ordering the construction of NINE frigates.

What is Eslandola’s response to be? We need to protect our trade ships and interests at sea, but with the king now powerless and disinterested, and the Colonial Council yet to be seated, no action has been forthcoming. So, private citizens such as Gov. Willem Guilder of Weelond and others are offering financial incentives for the construction of a single ship-of-the-line and three frigates to be licensed for use by the state.

- For the first ship-of-the-line (having at least 50 guns), the builder shall receive 175 DBs.

- For the first three frigates (having 24-44 guns), the builder shall receive

           150 DBs if the ship is a 5th rate (32-44 guns), and

           90 DBs if the ship is a 6th rate (24-28 guns).

This is just a start at maintaining the naval balance in the colonies, and if any other citizens are interested in sponsoring the construction of these new, larger classes of ships, I will gladly add those incentives to this post.

Hey, this... also looks familiar...

Scumbags Eslandoliandersers: start arms-race - now call for 'naval balance' :tongue:

I hope you are aware that the guy on the poster is in fact His Majesty King Philip I - simply in disguise - to fool you about where your ships will end up. All of them will go to Oleon! *evil laughter* :devil: :laugh:

JK. But again: more ships are always better, hope to see some cool designs :thumbup:

@Capt Wolf this is a real cool poster :classic: :thumbup:

Aaaand @Maxim I Look at what you've started :hmpf: :grin:
