If you want to license a piece of property in Trador, you must be someone (in some faction)! Post in this thread and fill out the web form. Etymology: Trador comes from "Trade" and the Dutch word "Dorp" (village) - Island information Island #: 13 Claimed by EslandolaNickname: The ShadowGeographical Features: This Island has a natural bay ideal for a trading post. The island is well guarded by steep rocky coasts on most sides, and the water is deep.Rumors: More than one sailor has independently reported seeing a massive black shadow in the sea circling around the island. The more suspicious of sailors suspect this is a sea monster, or sea monsters, lurking beneath the foam to swallow their ships whole, while the more academic postulate this could be a school of fish, indicating good fishing waters, or even a pod of whales, drawn to this island for unknown reasons. Nevertheless, sailors, and the natives, have avoided this island. - Location of Trador: - Soldiers stationed in Trador MAESTRO Golden Stars - 1st Battalion | MAESTRO | General Samu the Dragon Trador Guards - 1st Battalion | Trador | Lieutenant Wilhelmus La Sombra Forts protecting Trador Fort Coconut | MAESTRO | small | 1 sp | 5 value Merchant Gate | MAESTRO | medium | 2 sp | 10 value External Forts protecting Trador Fort Brickwall | Eslandola | Royal Fortress of Puerto Desafio - List of licensed properties in Trador: Art & Culture (8/8) Wellness The fountain of youth Spa | MAESTRO | Medium | 2 sp Culture & Festivals Preparing for the Winter Solstice Festival | Gedren_y | Large | 3 sp Parks Poseidon's Park (Fun at the Park) | Blackdeathgr | small | 1 sp Training Day | Bodi | small | 1 sp Trador Park | Captain Braunsfeld | 1 sp Artisan (11/11) Pubs The Three Flower Inn | MAESTRO | Medium | 2 sp Trador Soccer Field | Maxim I | Medium | 2 sp Golden Fish Inn | Maxim I | Small | 1 sp Green Door Pub | Capt Wolf | Small | 1 sp Beer Garden | Ayrlego | small | 1 sp Trador Bar | Mesabi | smal | 1 sp Whitechapel District Brothel | Professor Thaum | small | 1 sp Shops Mme Bijoux Accessoires | Maxim I | Small | 1 sp Clothes Shop | MKJoshA | small | 1sp Commerce (18/18) Quays Merchant Quay | Maxim I | Royal | 5 sp Trador Beach Quay (Tenotclaxcan Training) | Faladrin & MAESTRO | Large | 3 sp Services Mme Camille Real Estate Agency | Maxim I | Small | 1 sp Warehouses Empty Warehouse (New Trador Soccer Competitors) | Dr_Spock | small | 1 sp Unclaimed Warehouse (Leaving Trador) | Mesabi | medium 2 sp The Apple Cider smugglers | Maxim I | Medium | 2 sp WayMart Trador | Mesabi | Medium | 2 sp Education (5) Trador Agency of Exploring & Culture | MAESTRO | Small | 1 sp Trador Libary | Maxim I | small | 1 sp Trador University - Department of Chemical Engineering | MAESTRO COR | Medium | 2 sp Trador School | Silentwolf | Small | 1 sp Factory (12) Textile Trador Textile Factory | Capt.

Can one of those ports that raised taxes the past months show that it actually benefitted the growth? As progressive city, visiting fleets will have now to "pay" a development tax. 1-3 vessels (same flagship): 1 small property 4-6 vessels (same flagship): 1 medium property or 2 small 7+ vessels (same flagship): 1 large property or equivalent.  Properties to be licenced before the next MRCA started So for every different flagship, a property is wanted. One vessel sailing on its own = 1 flagship If help needed by licencing or not interested in licencing, the city of Trador (or one of its council members) is intersted in buying the licencing rights of your property for 10 (small)/ 20 (medium) / 30 (large) db's. The Trador Development Tax will be in effect the next MRCA. Ships currently in the harbour are free of tax for this month.  July 9 - 618 AE Sir Yohannes Ethiximus, Mayor of Trador    --- Trador when entering city status:  Edited January 24, 20196 yr by Maxim I
October 10, 20168 yr Author @SkaForHire Besides the whole island 11 discussion stuff, I am still claiming those little islands in the South East to be part of island 13 as you can see on my sketch (otherwise island 13 is really puny...)

November 8, 20168 yr The Smaugton family, with their eyes on the port access that is granted, wants to invest those 100 DB for the granted space. Our emblem: Â Of course, we use the colours of our beloved Corrington nation, the scarlet and black.
November 8, 20168 yr To the Mayor of Trador, The Montoya Estate may well be interested in purchasing a property. However, a few questions arise: 1) Will lost revenue during wars be reimbursed after peace has been established? This is relevant for the case where the owner of the property cannot be blamed for the state of war. 2) What of the situation where Maestro is the instigator of conflict? What sort of protection will be offered against this contingency? Looking forward to your clarifications. Your servant Ibn al'Sayeed The Montoya Estate 22 minutes ago, Maxim I said: possibility of attending VIP-events, That's where you got my attention!
November 8, 20168 yr Román Fontonajo is happy to take the deal and invest 100 DBs. He'd even be willing to invest more than 100 DBs and buy more than one property if there is a chance. Coat of arms and all further details will follow. Edited November 8, 20168 yr by Elostirion

Good questions: 1) no, as this is only the case if the owner attacks sth belonging to MAESTRO. So if there is a war, the owner keeps its rights and revenues as long as he does not betray the city of Trador by attacking its owners. If he does so, he will lose the revenues from that point forward till the moment there is peace again between the owner and MAESTRO. Lost revenues are lost. 2) now the second case is much more interesting. As said, all ships are safe in Trador (as long as there is no agression between the owner ans MAESTRO). It also means that MAESTRO can not attack those ships as it will violate its own code then. The properties are owned by the owner as long as he does not sells that property and the rights it comes along with. Those properties will not be seized by Trador and can not be seized by Eslandola as it belongs to the city of Trador (in other words, an Eslandolan entity will licence it). If the owner is the agressor against MAESTRO, revenues will be lost for a certain period. If there would be a case where the owner is the victim, he still will enjoy the rights of his property (and the according harborrights) as he is not the agressor. It kinda sounds like a mess, but the bottom line is simple: there will be enough enemies to fight in the future. Our goal is to establish and maintain very durable relations with others and we have no intention to break those bonds and betray our tradepartners :)  ooc: in games like CIV, total War, Imperial Glory, I never betray my alliances, and that's what I hope to do here in Bobs as well :) 5 hours ago, Elostirion said: Román Fontonajo is happy to take the deal and invest 100 DBs.

November 8, 20168 yr The Montoya Estate is happy to hear its concerns addressed so well, and will buy at least one, and up to three properties, should they be available. Best regard Ibn al'Sayeed Coat of arms will follow later. Edited November 8, 20168 yr by Bregir
November 8, 20168 yr The White Glove Order have received word about your endeavours to create a safe trading port in the city of Trador. We would like to attain a warehouse in the city and establish a safe trade route between the city of Trador and the city of Bardo. We are always eager to expand, so if there will be empty properties we are interested in looking at additional ones. Victor Servadac, on behalf of The White Glove Order. So, 1 order of property, more if there are available ones after a while. I see how you would like to spread them though, so only IF there are not enough interest around. The emblem for The White Glove Order (WGO) is the image of a white glove. Our colors are as diverse as those of the autumn. Green to yellow, orange, brown, purple, greys, black. But not blue. Never blue. Anything but blue.Â
