Sure- remember, we talked about you buying stock from Nom Sapmi.

Some will be Imperial breed via the Skulk in Nom Sampai, so it would be a mixture that I will bring back.

There are good reasons the nomads of Iowa are called Bison Chasers, not Bison Riders.

So you did end up sending a few dozen galleys east to fund that purchase?

Yes in a way. More like monthly instalments.

I concur.

I wouldn't advise attempting to ride a big, angry, 1400 pound killing machine.

I weep for Ego’s treasury.

Also, those poor horses getting hauled across the North Atlantic in longships.

We're pouring most into mass industrialization to support trying to unite America. I mean we could pay for it all at once but we need to prepare to for the American Union.

Adjusting to this style of roleplay. Getting used to the long-term, slow burn of storytelling here.

Hey Inesea does your alliance have trade relations with Athens?

It depends where you’ve settled on the Yangtze; towards the east end of the river and the coast, people will be very proprietary about the land and not approve of your use of it. But it is a long river.

Glad to hear it; hopefully you’ll come to enjoy it as much as many have :)

G let's discuss the man hunt in Norsca. Norsca may be in a crazy situation right now, but I'd figure Ted would be noticeable with his armor, however any good cloak would fix that, although still would have that shady factor...

What do you think of his chances...

I think a good narrative arc would be a few close scrapes, maybe a night in a provincial Norscan jail before escaping because his captors underestimate his combat prowess. Maybe those lead to him searching for somewhere safer than Norsca, driving him to Scotland? That or he would have to discard that armor, a cognitive break from his old life that could be written up poignantly.

Finishing up my post, got interrupted, but I saved it and it'll be up today.
It appears I'm an INTP-T. You're not gonna get much more about me.

:p sounds good, although Ted's a hoarder he'll have a hard time throwing something away. Would be a good "battle with self" scenario. I want the encounters realistic and fair game. Anyways gonna work on a new post around an hour thirty from now.

I don’t believe so; the map appears to be clear there.

Ok second question, how difficult would be for the Imperium to maintain a big colony in America?

There, how's that?
Coal is definitely necessary, but as soon as Abraham gets his hands on it he can start work on steel and a railroad to connect Franklin and Trenton, for a start...

Ego is going to put direct interest into this so my Skulk will be sending the joint project idea so Ego can get a railroad set up soon.

I can also spread horses to you for easier transport for wagons but they still have to be breed to support human weight.

So I figure that if I can cover the next three days today (one post per day or so), that’ll be enough to start moving a bit faster. I have some ideas for how to build my confederacy, thanks to some inspiration from Gaius Marcellinus of the Clash of Eagles series. I’m gonna try and use the bogeyman of the English to unite the tribes. I know that they don’t actually exist, and that it’s 2800 BC, but my Author doesn’t know that, so to him it’d seem reasonable.

@Olog, do you have a city around Trenton? I had planned to start a settlement around Philadelphia after the war with the Iroquois. A railroad down to Philly and some nice equipment from Franklin would certainly expedite the process of coal mining...
5- At peace
4- Potential threat
3- Active preparations for war
2- Mobilization of Armed reserves and Militias
1- All out war

You can call me Aru
