Bodi

The realism of this build is astonishing, good job, sir.

Thanks guys, glad you like my boats. Why not...give me a few days, I'll get it done. Bodi (that's my real name too)

I noticed this has been done, see the link you provided earlier.

Meaning there isn't big difference between an individual player and a trade company, if the TC isn't chartered. Sounds less interesting now, thanks for the clarification.

To: Count Mesabi of Debonshire Sometime you have to be patient when dealing with OL aristocrates, since they have to follow all kinds of etiquettes and formalities. However, the fact they are having this negotiation with you countrymen means they wish to improve the mutual understanding and smooth the tension between our two kingdoms. Personally, I'm looking forward to meeting you soon, whether on OL soil or COR territory. Cordially, Berart Mazan, Duc de Boussac.

As said in the title, something has to be done about my accounts, after having realized that I own only 7 dbs. Luckily, there are 3 ships readily available, I built them many months ago, now it's time to put them into good use. I hope they'll sail safely and swiftly and earn me a bunch of doubloons this turn. It's an upgraded version of the new Creator ship, it has a longer and taller hull than the original one. Here's the third one: Le Fastoche Class:4 Cost:300 Range: 4 Maneuvre: 2 Firepower: 2 Crew: 3 Cargo: 5 Hull: 2 Total: 18

Sounds interesting, may I know what this mechanical advantage is?

Hello guys, Here comes my application for chartering of a trade company based in Ile sous le Vent. Company name: Compagnie des Nouvelles Terres A trade ship: Amphitrite's Lily (or all traders I currently own) From left to right, company headquarter, warehouse, housing facility and plantation.

@Mesabi Where did you find all these rules? I want the links. Btw, I'm not the leader of Oleon anymore, I asked in the faction pm a couple of months ago to find someone to replace me, unfortunately it took more time than I expected but now we have a new co-leader: @CapOnBOBS One person for now, other players are welcome to join in. If Cap wants to have his own TC, I'm perfectly fine with that.

Neat build, nice pic too, it's hard to tell if it's an actual photo or rendered by LDD.

Clever use of the Friends hull, white and blue is very OL-ish. I like how richely decorated she is, though I think you could try to build custom guns, instead of using TLG's as chasers, unless if you want to keep the playability feature.

@CapOnBOBS Congratz, wishing a properous future to the LBSF. Also, To whom it may be concerned in the court: I'd like to take this opportunity to ask if it's possible for Oleon to have more than one trade companies, since I'm planning to create my own too, I have a large commercial build ready, which comprises a headquarter and a warehouse, I own some ships too, if there's other things I need to do, please let me know.

I have no idea where it comes from. @Mesabi Here's a letter from Mazan.

Thank you evan, these narrow hulls work quite well for small ships, glad you like my boat. Thanks mate, so it's a Fluyt, I thought it was a galleon. Thanks NOD, glad you like it. That's true for the moment I have to borrow from other OL members to licence them, but they should bring profit in the long run, as long as they still afloat. Thanks Thaum, the forecastle was the trickiest part to build, as I had to achieve a transition between that blocky structure and the pointed bow, and I'm happy that it turned out not so bad.

Thanks NOD. The crew comes from the Creator set, nothing fancy, they got pirate torsos, but I guess we can also use them as common sailors.

Looks really good, really good, I'm impressed. Some interesting techniques here, taking notes.

You did some decent works, Nod, impressive fleet, the large galleon in the first pic is my favourite.

Very nice depiction of Lotii (Chinese) warriors of 16-17th century, the equipment and armament they are using are era-appropriate, and I'm glad that you managed to avoid the stereotypes like bamboo hats and pigtails. I should check those Koruits too.

The Olean fleet has been blockading the Terraversa since months, despite their best efforts, several Corrie and Eslandian ships have managed to pass through the blockade and landed hundreds of troops on that island, complicating the already complex situation. In response to this show of force, the ministry of the colonnies has ordered a couple of new ships to the Eltina Shipyards, where men were working at full capacity since the start of hostility. Here's one example of the newly commissioned by la Royale. Built for speed and firepower, this class of new frigates, along with other heavy hitters, will help Oleon to maintain its naval superiority. Duc de Boussac on the poop deck, apparently happy with the sailing performance of his new ship. To be licensed as a class 6 ship.

Captain Surlecoup, as an Olean privateer, made his first appearance in the Westface, while the RNTC was carrying out a mission in Terraversa. OL's mission in Westface had to solicit the captain's help after having detained by the local authority, despite their prior efforts in rescueing shipwrecked TVsans. The whole thing turned out to be a trap set by the lawless TV militia, and without the intervention of a more reasonable mind, war between OL and TV could have taken place years before. Then, our relentless captain has proved his competence and savoir-faire during the Lotus incident, delivering precious information about the motivation behind that sudden incursion of Lotii in El Oleonda, and in the subsequent sea battle, he, with his samourai friends, captured a Lotii warjunk. It's in recognition of his devotion to the Crown that this frigate was specially designed and built for him. In line with the latest advancement in OL's naval architecture, this ship has the particularity of offering more room for the crew, allowing them to better adapt to a prolonged journey on sea. To be licensed as a class 6 ship. OOC: I beat my record on shipbuilding with these two ships, as my family and I endured another turn of knock down due to the virus where I live, which gave me a lot of building time, but the down side is the delivery service was down too, so I had to work with the existing bricks. This frigate was built after a model of French frigate that I found on the net, it's labeled as "a privateer frigate" and has the particularity of having an enclosed weather deck, or some sort of extended poop deck, not commonly seen on other frigates I think.

@CapOnBOBS Congratulation, a well deserved promotion!

Thank you, that's all I wanted to know.

Thank you Ayrlego for typing all the words above, I have a clearer view of the situation now. Only a question, if I understand correctly, Nola Mar is now a city, even it doesn't have a royal property?

"What a desolated view." General Gabriel said to a lieutenant of the cavalry, while walking in the street of King's Port. "Let's hope we could find a way to prevent such fate falls on other Terraversan cities. Take this letter and make sure that Oldis receives it." A letter from his excellency Duc de Vele @Captain Genaro. To Miro Oldis and the leaders of his forces, In light of the current events in Kings Port I wish to discuss an honorable peace between your forces and those of the Empire of Oleon. Your forces have fought valiantly and with great honor, and we wish for the peace to reflect the honor and sacrifices made by all forces in this conflict. Should the war continue we fear a devastating humanitarian crisis will erupt across the island. Pamu lacks the strong defenses found in Kings Port, and our fleet is capable of blockading the city while our forces siege it from the land. Further conflict will subject Pamu to a horrific bombardment, and without the fortifications of Kings Port the people will suffer needlessly. Those who survive the bombardment, in a city already burdened by the influx of soldiers and civilians from Kings Port, shall quickly be subject to horrific starvation and disease. Westface, also burdened with an influx of refugees, is dependent on Corrington for foodstuff, but it is clear from their recent actions Corrington is more concerned with imperial aggression than aiding your people. Furthermore, it is no secret that Corrington is openly aiding L’Olius, not the forces of Miro Oldis. Their continued support for this admiral, a man who has already demonstrated unchecked political ambition, could result in another civil war as L’Olius attempts to take control over the island. Recognizing these facts, we hope you shall move quickly to accept our offer to join us in Kings Port to discuss a peaceful resolution to this conflict. On behalf of the Most Sacred Crown of Oleon, Brigadier des Armées Charles Louis Gabriel Commander of His Most Sacred Majesty's forces in Terraversa
