So at the same time, Ego traders and explorers go to Europe in force while a flotilla from the Imperium goes to Plymouth.

I'm interested to see what will happen to Ego's traders. What do you intend to trade?

[G-Tech Corporation]

GT, how was my post?

Hmm. Probably a bit aggressive in terms of timeline. Discovering iron ore, traveling from Burma to Malaysia, forging weapons in a matter of days.

Plus your character would actually understand the various languages spoken. Authors have the gift of tongues.

[The Orson Empire]

Sorry, only traders, diplomats, and the Skulk for a bit but after Civil War II: Civil Harder then you would see the blobs coming.

Dude, Orsons being so mean to you. Why does he oppose you anyways. Figured the slavery thing was over...

As of now, Turner is loyal to Ego. However, a rogue group of Skulk will ruin that by attempting to arrest and kill him.

Iron to Nom Sampson, general shines from Chicago and other exotics.

What I want to know is will Ego talk to the Imperium and tell them that those lands that their exploring are owned by someone.

I think the main issue you will run into is the cost of shipping all but the most valuable goods across the Arctic Circle/Atlantic Ocean via longship. I mean, you're taking a dozen men or so away for two-three months to carry a couple hundred pounds worth of fungible products.

Also, general shinies? I don't think the luxury market is very heavily developed in 2915 BCE

[The Orson Empire]

Steel over wood. I don't have the sort of manufacturing power to do steel overall. It'll be slow going at first for sure, though. Franklin isn't industrialized at all...

Yeah Ego and California are industrialized but I'm guessing California more.

Also, next post Ego starts European trading before the war. Gotta beat the Imperials at beating us to it.

After the war, I think we should work together to help reconstruct and industrialize Ego even further.

After the war, Turner would be far more open to reconciliation.

[Holy Tedalonia]

G, liked the post. Although I question this. If you assume I'm friendlier than others. Why waste with just questions? I'd figure you'd atleast run like a personality or loyalty test...

Sure it is, just not in a form you are familiar with.

Luxuries would be popular with the wealthiest people in a society in this time period and Ego already has an upper class.

Questions first- gotta ring Ted dry for anything that might be valuable to mankind that is locked away between his ears, after all.

I don't think mass market lapis lazuli shipping and amber will catch on, given the local production of those goods.

If the loser go's Scott free then there will be a lot of angry parents and wives.

Not to mention the pissed soldiers...

How long do want the war to last?

We do have galleys, longships have been mostly phased out by now but the general interest in Europe will continue to grow especially during the Civil War as traders and settlers would see Iceland to be flowing with opportunity and the navy, if left untouched by war, would start to look into making bigger ships and better sailing technology to make going to Europe faster.

After the war, there will be a strengthened unity that will allow Iceland and European Ego places to be able to rebuild faster and make Ego look towards Europe and other places with the Sunset Invasion.

Well that's why its a luxury good- it is pretty rare and very expensive.

Profit margins would be massive, due to how much the wealthy are willing to pay for it.

It fully depends wether Kelm wakes up...


Wait does this mean that I'm likely now able to help (as in return to my original job) the Imperium if I get caught, but under strict watch?

Also what about Kelm are ya gonna telegram him?

And how's he gonna capture me while afk?

G-tech, are ya ready for mosquito extraordinaire? Because that's what you get from Virginia

Three years sounds like a solid timeline.

It would at least give me some time to reverse-engineer some of the Skulk's advanced technology.

Honestly, longships are superior to galleys outside of combat. But that's just my opinion on conserving manpower and moving goods easily; wind and tide and steam, not the sweat of men's brows.

*shrug*

Not too fussed. Insects are just insects, until they start carrying diseases.

Well that's why its a luxury good- it is pretty rare and very expensive.

I'm not following your logic: luxury goods are worth what they are worth due to rarity, agreed, but I'm noting that luxury goods produced locally aren't worth as much as those which are only available via trade.

Mm, we will see.

I have, but he is a busy whoreson.

*shrug*

He probably won't, due to how easy it should be to hide in Norsca or the free parts of Britain.

Skulk tech would be introduced to the public after the war anyway. Let's go with two at best. Would allow daring traders and explorers to start trading with Europe and doing transformations to Ego.

As for galleys vs lomgships, I can see that bit Europe will see daring merchants and explorers which will be the foreground for the Sunset Invasion.

So... will you be RPing the Norscans if Kelm is afk. That is if you have tg him and have his consent.

More or less, yerp. You got it. But I'll give him time to get back to me first.

I'd expect the Norscan King to assign a special hunt. I can meld pretty well with the Imperium wearing military armor, but I'd figure Ted stand out, plus Ted's planning to keep the armor and sword.

Very well.

I'm gonna pay a visit to Franklin as well.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Ah, you landed near Norfolk Arulean?

[Ulls]

Rogue Trader just gave me an idea for Ego. The question is can I pull it off.
