    That's not quite the correct first reaction to this, but thanks nonetheless Maybe a stick will achieve what carrots couldn't do... stupid vegetables!

    @Phred You can add me to this list. It would be 700DB for me (5F à 350DB, 7th ship). Thanks in advance

    Something pretty much similar here - the 5F merchant schooner États de Cauzac: dito

    Ahoy, and happy new year 617! Contrary to me, the workers at the Royal Shipyards weren't completely useless over the holidays, but instead managed to build some ships. So without further ado: 'Centurion', 'Audacieuse' and 'Vigilante' The recent increase in pirate activity had caused some concern among the Duke of Corban's staff. But in response only some minor details were changed, some convoy routes were adapted, and the escorts' captains received orders to intensify their gunners' drill - but no additional matters were taken. However, these concerns turned into vigorous fury after the latest coup of infamous pirate Captain Morgan, who managed to overpower a whole convoy - and even capture two Oleander warships! It became clear that a response to this blatant and unprecedented aggression needed to be formulated. The first thing to do was obvious - more ships needed to be send over to Breshaun to be attached to the New Terra Fleet. Two of these can be seen here en route: Centurion - a brig of war carrying 20 8-pounders, and Audacieuse - a fast corvette armed with 20 12-pounders. Centurion - 20 Gun Brig of War 78x21 studs at the waterline, 4500+ pieces Audacieuse - 20 Gun Corvette 85x23 studs at the waterline, 4900+ pieces Vigilante - 38 Gun Frigate 101x23 studs at the waterline, 7000+ pieces About: Well... this was a lot of work. But I think it was well worth it, as all three turned out to be better looking than I expected they would when I started. In fact, the Vigilante should have gone to Oleon... but I decided to keep her for myself All ships might look similar - and yes, they are all based on the same basic principle. But each ship still had to be built up from scratch, and fiddled about with the details. The only thing I could copy to a relieving extend were the masts and sails - but sadly not the rigging So, this should cope with some of the increasing pirate activity - but to add to this: of course, if you don't tread on Oleon, you'll have nothing to fear Thanks for watching, C&C as always welcome Vive le Roi!

    Hahahaha, yeeesss, very nice Happy New Year 2017/617

    Haha, thanks Öhh... somewhere in a secret evil lair... in a cave underneath the sea... in an active volcano's dormant side crater... in a parallel universe... some place where a giant mug doesn't get noticed by confused Nellisans Nah, just place it where you want. If you want me to change its registration form (I didn't add a location), just tell me! Thanks, Kai. Well this one was totally unintended, to be honest... the tree was burning before I recognized the resemblance

    Got a new hat for Mug'mas

    A late entry for category C Merry Mug'mas
  10. Kolonialbeamter
    Ahoy, fellow BoBSers, a bit late maybe, but then... minions do their things when they feel like it - celebrating is no different. This is an entry for the Nellisan Merrynight mini-challenge, category C. Merry Mug'mas After having sold the plundered (and later beached) Santa Clara to Oleon - by the way the ship sank as those incompetent minions hadn't managed to fix her up watertight... or did they do that on purpose... maybe they don't even know themselves... anyways, moving on - well, with all the treasure and the additional Oleander DB, the minions had enough cash at their disposal to throw a proper Mug'mas party. So they filled up The One MugTM with mulled wine... and just went nuts. What's in all the presents, you may ask - probably just mugs and hats They had even heard about that Nellisan custom of decorating a fir tree... but somehow misunderstood the concept... or did it intentionally... who knows... anyways - bottom line: the fir tree quickly turned into a fire tree... About: Well, nothing special about this at all, the mug has been used before, the rest is pretty basic. However, the idea was in my head as soon as I read about the Merrynight mini-contest. This just had to be done Thanks for watching C&C welcome!

    His Majesty would like to express His delight to see the efforts of His loyal subjects in transforming Breshaun into a pulsating center of Oleander lifestyle paying off. It fills His Majesty's heart with pride to announce to the world that today Breshaun on the island of Le Bellan will be granted the status of a City. May the City of Light shine like the cultural beacon it is for all future, may it tell the tales of Oleander grandeur to the world, and may it prosper for the sake of the Empire! Granoleon, Dec. 22nd. 616AE

    Glory to Oleon for building the first City of BoBS There will surely soon be more cities, but there can be only one first city of BoBS - a triumph that will live on forever in the official records. A great thank you to all who have contributed and made this possible!

    The Brazzi Brothers' Brickyard - Factory Large - Kolonialbeamter - License active
  14. Kolonialbeamter
    Ahoy there again, fellow brick-enthusiasts, today another brick in the wall that I call my landlubbing endeavor... aaand it's a place where bricks are made - who knew! Not the bricks you're looking for, though, but nonetheless 'important' - at least for the... City... of Breshaun The Brazzi Brothers' Brickyard in Breshaun December 21st - formally the beginning of the cold season in some parts of the old world, but next to a fire of several hundred degrees one could easily forget that Winter had arrived. The Brazzi Brothers probably didn't give it much of a thought neither. They just went about their business - their family business, to be more specific. Originating from southern Mardier, they had come to Breshaun almost 20 years ago in search for a new home far from the impacts of the Civil War raging in their home country. In Breshaun, they were among the first to set up a manufactury to produce large amounts of bricks - an investment that would soon turn out a huge asset in the development of the settlement into a thriving large town. And although today there are more and larger brickyards in and around Breshaun, it fills the three brothers with pride to have contributed - and still being contributive - to what is also their... City of Light. About: Hmm... not really much to say about this one. The oven had been in the making for a while, but I never came around building a house to go along with it. However, now it just had to be done, so I went for it The build itself is rather repetitive and unspectacular, but the details took a lot of time. I think, however, those bricky bricks aren't nice too nice to look at if used in masses... Need to change this in future builds... Oh, and I'm not really sure this is the way to actually make bricks... hmm... I might have to call Billund to find out... Anyway, I hope you can enjoy this a little, C&C welcome! Thanks for watching Vive le Roi!

    A starting gift MOC for the RNTC: The School of Business in Breshaun
  18. Kolonialbeamter
    Ka-ching, fellow shareholders - and a classic ahoy, fellow BoBSers, I've gone land-lubbing for a while in preparation to get the Royal New Terra Company started, and this here is the first thing that came out of my endeavor: The RNTC School of Business in Breshaun The officials of the Royal New Terra Company meant business. Only a few weeks after the Duke of Vele had managed to gain the full backing for his plan from the High Council, His Majesty signed a royal charter for the company. Now, wheels were set in motion, preparations already made were carried out, and first ventures established. Among the first was the founding of a business school in Breshaun, hopefully soon enabling the RNTC to recruit its elite from a pool of qualified personal. For this purpose one of the newly erected upper class buildings West of Breshaun's harbor was purchased, fitted with a bell-tower, and equipped with the company's insignia. Now, all that was left to do was waiting for the school's director to arrive. About: This started out as a factory building, to be honest... but soon it became a study in half-offset-building, and it turned out to be quite good looking - well, at least from my point of view - so it had to get some more elaborate function. Coincidentally, at that point Bregir had just posted his Royal Society School in King's Harbor... aaaand voilà - business school What doesn't really come across is that the roof is actually shaped slightly concave - darn... 'cause that took a lot of time As usual, all could be build. The building itself, however doesn't have an interior - partly because of the hideous looks of the walls from the inside - and for the big part because I just couldn't be bothered Thanks for watching As always, C&C welcome Oh, this MOC is a starting gift for the RNTC. Vive le Roi!

    Aaaaand so the first economic bubble in BoBS has started to grow

    @Maxim I As stated in Article IV... the one Calida didn't much like Property ownership in a Region of Trade shall be limited to the Holders of Preferred Stock under the terms set forth in Article VI, and to anyone granted with a Royal Charter by the Most Sacred Crown of Oleon. An exception shall be granted to those Owning Property prior to a location being added to the Region of Trade. So there's no interference, Sebeus is of course free to continue his plans on the marvelous island-settlement of Windfall Also, Preferred Stock is subject to trade, one can always make holders an offer to sell their shares.

    Oh yeah, that's a fort! And what an awesome one! Great architecture, and lovely colors. Loving the fact you're doing snot-ed walls and combine them with the use of slopes for corners Congrats on a wonderful MOC - I'm sure Her Majesty will adore it, too. When is she scheduled to arrive?
  24. Kolonialbeamter
    Thanks for the appreciation Could also be just an allergic reaction to the mold slowly attaching to his cape
  25. Kolonialbeamter
    Oooooh, another story build I'm thinking that this hasn't gone unnoticed in Granoleon Waiting so see where this is headed. Oh, wait... yes, there's a build, too Simple tower, yet effective. I'm just loving great choices for colors used in builds - and this here is one of those. The white is really popping out, due to your use of olive green, dark tan and dark red. Well done
