Bluecoat officer Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Wow. I am impressed that nobody doesn't want this project to go through. Isn't there always that one guy who hates every thing? It is not me (I voted for Corrington). Quote
Yzalirk Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Eslandola, Corrington, and Pirates are really interesting to me, I'm not sure what I'd choose! Will there eventually be larger descriptions about the factions? Quote
Sigolf Brimabane Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I just wondered something. Where do the darkbluecoats (revolution soldier) fit in? I guess they are hard to army build, my brother and I have nine, but yeah... Where to place them? :) Also... Will Aztecs and Achu be in the "natives" group? Quote
James Wellington Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I just wondered something. Where do the darkbluecoats (revolution soldier) fit in? I guess they are hard to army build, my brother and I have nine, but yeah... Where to place them? :) Also... Will Aztecs and Achu be in the "natives" group? Regarding question one, I personally would count them as Bluecoats, even though their uniforms are darker, they are still blue. There is no separate faction for the "dark bluecoats". And I guess you could count the Aztecs and such in the natives group, however that will be up to the administrators of this, I assume. Quote
Capn Frank Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Also... Will Aztecs and Achu be in the "natives" group? I've got a bunch of native Americans that I would like to incorporate into a trading outpost in the interior of the colonies. Quote
Sigolf Brimabane Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 I've got a bunch of native Americans that I would like to incorporate into a trading outpost in the interior of the colonies. From the old Western sets? :D Quote
Capn Frank Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 From the old Western sets? :D Them are the ones. Quote
papillion Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Guess I would defend the homeland, Oleon it is! Even though I have a small redcoat burried inside me, I can't hide that fortress and warships are a bit cooler than speed and navigation. Quote
Rotaser Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Well, I'd say the dark blue ones might be Oleon, as mentioned before, maybe as part of a special bodyguard unit. Or, regarding the actual pirate sets, the high rank officers wear dark blue as well. Another option could be to treat them as a group of merchants or mercenaries, depending on the usage of gunpowder and saber, I suppose ;-), loosely conected to the Greencoats (green details in ships, buildings and flags should be sufficient for this, plumes and feathers for example). The "natives" in my point of view could be nearly anything, different islands deliver enough possibilities. Aztec (ish, as we are not in the "real" world), Indian, Asian, African, Polynesian... I guess with a fitting background story even cursed crews of undead would be possible. But before asking to many questions we should let the "think tank" keep going with the development process and just start with our inquiry in anything remains unclear afterwards Quote
Duck Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 After a break of a year or so from LEGO, the new Pirate range has drawn me back in.Im intrigued by all those factions. Ive gone for green as I like the idea of merchants and privateers, but I'm largely undecided! Quote
Mr. Townsend Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) I just wondered something. Where do the darkbluecoats (revolution soldier) fit in? I guess they are hard to army build, my brother and I have nine, but yeah... Where to place them? :) Also... Will Aztecs and Achu be in the "natives" group? Dark blue coats will most certainly count as Oleon troops. I personallyy own only 2 light blue troops from the new pirate sets but a proud army of dark blue. This was a driving factor in my choosing Oleon. Aztecs and Achu will be natives neutrals indeed Edited May 4, 2015 by Mr. Townsend Quote
Artizan Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 When can we expect to see the launch of this project?(an estimated approximate time would do) Quote
Rotaser Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 If you'd just read through this whole thread, than you might have noticed this to start in a couple weeks if not month, as there is still a lot of planning to do. Nevertheless, the more time you have to be prepared yourself (collecting usefull bricks and minifigs, thinking about your background story, and so on). That`s what I am doing... Quote
J031 Ty3r Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Eslandola definitely ilkes green and merchants Quote

There is a lot already figured out, but there's enough to do before launch. Keep in mind almost everyone developing BoBS is also involved in Guilds of Historica, so please be patient. Hopefully there will be an update in the near future. I too am getting ready for BoBS with a new ship and small fort planned to be built soon. Quote
IGUNNUK33LU Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I feel like I'm the only one who wants to be a pirate Quote
Redbeards_Rum Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Whilst I voted red coats, I am torn. I have found a new love for the blues following this latest release. So......I betrayed the reds and deleted my original vote in favour of the blues Quote
Redbeards_Rum Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I have made a start to my Fleet. I am going for Oleon. I also have the Brick Bounty primed as a 'captured' prize. My Impeial flagship is primed, armed with a full compliment of Blue coats and cannons Quote
TitusV Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Is there any progress in the BoBS project? As i'd really like to join. Quote
kabel Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 There is some progress, at least. The when is the big question, not the if! Quote
TitusV Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Glad to that. Will it be in about 10 days, as than i will make my pirate moc and i wanna know if i should wait with posting it so i can post it for my faction in BoBS Quote
blackdeathgr Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Going forward is a good step. I voted for bluecoats as i have some older and new ones alike and i am waiting for some more to come. I could easily go for redcoats too, as for each bluecoat i got, a red torso is sitting on my storage cases. Or shall i become a pirate? :P Aaah, the endless dilemmas of life.. I will focus on smaller outposts and battles of the oars though, as i am short at the moment in appropriate white pieces and masts for ships Edited June 14, 2015 by blackdeathgr Quote
Captain Dee Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 The Sea Rats/Pirates faction really took off after a slow start, but I suspect the naturally relaxed structure (compared to the others) might have something to do with that. Seeing Eslandola and Corrington closely matched looks like natural randomization... until you look at Oleon's supporters! Talk about imbalance! If it truly plays out that way the first two factions are going to have their hands full. Anyone think it's mostly due to the blues being new, or do you think there's just that much more support for them, period? Either way it looks like a collection of curious matchups. Time will tell... Quote
Rotaser Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I guess the appeal for the Blues is on the one hand they were the first (nostalgia, more or less my reason, too) and they are "up-to-date" (increased availablity for specific parts). Each faction may get a "handycap-factor" depending on the number of (active) members for correction purposes. And never underestimate the advantage: the less members, the higher in rank your mediocre MOC is and the more points you get (in the limit: if you're the only one of eslandola, your creations are always best ;-) Quote
blackdeathgr Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Gogogo, proceed with this project! It will be fun Quote
