History of Colonization: The Colonies 3.12 PBEM Game

[Henrik]

1607

Revolt!!!
Leading millitary and naval officers in France has tried to overthrow the rightfull king and ruler of France!
The coup was succesfull, during the past year the nation of France has been under the total controll of a General Albért Inificiént (who you all know from a privious incident, he returned from his exile to pull this coup off) and Admiral Antoine Irregulare who ruled France in a Triumvirate.
Thankfully the king and I was able to escape during the chaos in the capital last year.
And during this year we mounted a succesfull counter-strike against the usurpers.
Both Albért and Antoine has been dealt with, permanently this time...
However, I fear that much was lost during the time of the Triumvirate, and counter orders will take time to be carried out, it will take atleast two more years to totaly restore order to our lands.

Henri
First Minister of Louis XV

I agree lets play some more than the scenario is set to...

(edit: Just checked this scenario ends in 1800, we have plenty of more turns )

Scenario length

Yes, guys. The scenario ends in 1800, but there is nothing stopping us playing on. However, we will soon run out of appropriate technologies, and once the first of us starts on Future Tech we should probably stop.

I am delighted you are all enjoying this so much!

If your question was directed at adjusting the running time of the main scenario, W, then yes, it is possible, but I don't think I will. Mainly because of the tech issue above. You can always make your own variant, however. If you want me to send you the base scenario save game from which I create the scenarios, I will. You can then make your own game up. I'm sure you know how, but if not, please ask.

Sorry I didn't take my turn at the weekend, I was swamped with Bonaparte II stuff. I shall play tonight.

W and H, are you up for continuing our 3-way Hellas game sometime?

[Henrik]

I would be happy to continue with the hellas game sometime...

The English have moved. File sent to Chris and posted here...

The full effects of the Reformation are now being felt in England, as the Protestant succession is secured, yet with full tolerance of the old, Catholic faith.

New farming methods are leading the populace to wax in numbers...
