Guns of Our Forefathers (1700s, OOC)

[Kryskov]

People on land =/= land.
Kinda surprised none of the other Asian nations oppose Mughal supremacy...

Me too. I especially thought Japan would absolutely hate the idea. Especially considering this opens up the doorway to Mughal expansion in SE Asia and, eventually, E Asia.

Right off, Im willing to sell eight 44 gun frigates

Which bring me back to my question:

HOW MANY SHIPS DO I HAVE.

In 1800, the British had the largest fleet, followed by the French then Spanish and Portuguese
I figure you are at the largest or second largest behind mua

[G-Tech Corporation]

Those would be useful indeed. To start off, what do you see as a fair compensation for such a purchase?

2 Million Reales?

Hmm. The closest figure I can find is a 38-gun frigate costing £20,800 in 1789. Accounting for inflation and the larger number of guns, and guessing that the Real is close to the pound, I'd assume they cost about ~19,000 to build, the Mughal Empire would be prepared to offer you 150,000 Reales for eight 44 gun frigates.

[Kryskov]

I'd say:

1. France
2. Spain
3. UK
4. Scandinavia

The first 6 frigates of the USN cost 700,000$ of then dollars. I DUNNO MATHS

Going by ACIV Logic, 1000 Reales is about 100 Pounds.

But Spain didn't get super hyper silver inflation in this, did it?

Wut.

Was the USD, like, really weak then? That's a hilariously large difference. I mean, I presume your currency would be worth an amount similar to the pound, not the currency of a nation that's 20 years oldish.

That's seriously uproarious.

Well, the dollar translated to more before the stock market crash. 700,000 was a shit ton of money; it cost 1,000,000 in loans do create that big red bridgy thing in San Francisco in money from that time.

Sounds reasonable.

I'll offer two hundred pounds of gold, and as much spice as you can fit in a standard size merchantman.

Deal. *Immediately increaes average merchant ship size manyfold*

Hah. Standard size across the world, since I presume there is one, more or less.

Nope. British ships are usually 10% smaller than world average(Spanish, French, Portuguese) and Dutch are 25-50% larger than world average in terms of cargo capacity.

[Lingang]

Italy, I have sent you a letter.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Italy, I have sent you a letter.

Lol. Iberia has owned Morocco for three hundred years

Oh. That will be changed.

Oh? That's interesting. Well, rent a Dutch ship

IC. Did you mean thread or threat?
