It's heretical I know, but I kind of wish that you could get them on AliExpress... I'd consider a clone part as TLG has only produced them on one figure and BrickLink has none currently in Australia. One German store has an excellent price and a large amount.... but you have to buy them in quantities of 50 and the store has a 100 Euro minimum buy - which is well above my LEGO budget!!!

He does! Unfortunately I only have two white scabbards, so I prioritised the cavalrymen. Usually he wears one of their scabbards! To substitute he has a white rubber band at the moment - but as soon as he can reclaim his scabbard he will!

Thanks! On the officer it is a Bright Light Orange torso (from a Batman CMF I think?) I've stuck a printed paper torso on with a glue stick (for easy removal). The militia officer (who is hidden by Allcock's bulk!) is the same with a white torso and brown print. Actually by themselves! No foul tricks this build I promise! (well apart from the third party foliage...) They are not my idea - I saw them around somewhere and copied the idea.

Colonel Sir Dirk Allcock has been busy since landing in Westface. As commander (land), Corlander Forces Terraversa, he has had much to do. Most of his time has been taken liaising with L'Ouis and his Terraversan staff in Westface, finding billets for the Corlander Expeditionary Force and ensuring there are enough supplies to campaign. Before leaving for Pamu, his old friend Montoya and remarked his preparations would be in vain, and that the proposed peace talks would prevent conflict. Allcock was not so sure. He had not been in favour of war with Oleon, although that nation's aggressive and irresponsible actions attacking King's Port had left the Crown with little choice. Since the declaration, old enmities - animosity Allcock had hoped buried with expansion into the New World - had spilled to the surface. He felt certain the war; which to date had been relatively bloodless between Corrington and Oleon, would not end without a major blood letting. Finally the arrangements in Westface were competed to his satisfaction. Still, his work had only just began. He strongly believed that information won battles and wars. The Corlanders had limited knowledge of the environment and terrain of Eastern Terraversa. This would have to change. Together with his second in command; Major Nathaniel Brickford, he has left Westface to conduct a thorough reconnaissance eastern Terraversa. Not wanting to risk capture or ambush, this will be a reconnaissance in force, accompanying Allcock and Brickford are a retinue of staff officers including Colonel Agnolino de Silva, the Terraversan liaison officer assigned to Allcock's staff, Captain Nardo Bonzi, a militia officer and expert guide. Escorting the force are a strong force of cavalry including a troop of the Corlander 2nd Regiment of Hussars and a troop of elite Terraversan cuirassiers. Allcock is paying particular attention to ensuring the force's maps are up-to-date and enhanced with local knowledge. The locations of river crossings, seasonal weather patterns. The thirst for knowledge that saw him a founding member of the Royal Society of Natural Philosophy is now applied to his military command. If battle was coming, he was determined that the Corlander force would not be defeated due to a lack of local knowledge.

As an additional note you can see the skill level of rated commanders in the third tab in the accounts sheet.

Jan-Feb 21 Account sheet now published. As usual, let me know any issues! It was decided that as we are behind a MRCA 'turn', we'd release a sheet for Jan-Feb. Mainly to make my job easier :) but also so everyone can better keep track of their settlements and troops etc. Properties will produce income this turn and upkeep will be charged on properties and troops. Everything else will continue to be MRCA turn based and we expect to announce the deadline for the next MRCA soon.

Really beautiful work, I really like the level of detail in both the interior and exterior. The cladding on the exterior is a particular highlight here and really elevates the build. Great work!

The brick seas, as well as being home to warring pirates and imperials; is also home to many craftsmen such as the Silversmith by forum member TomSkippy. The scene includes a full interior with master craftsmen busy at work, come and view the quality goods on offer in the Brethren of the Brick Seas forum now!

Unit Name: Myzec Native Auxiliary - Eagle and Jaguar Regiments Unit Type: Native Melee Infantry Picture: Description: The semi-autonomous indigenous city of Myzectlan on the island of Cascadia fields it's own unique warriors which have been incorporated into Her Majesties forces. Known for their almost fanatical bravery and intimate knowledge of the jungles and grasslands of Cascadia, these warriors are divided into two 'regiments', the Eagle and the Jaguar. These warriors are armed with obsidian studded clubs called macuahuitl or obsidian tipped spears and protected by hide bound shields and are often decorated with colourful feathers or jaguar skins.

Great job with the mine Cap, there is a lot to take inspiration from here. I like how tall the cliffs are and the insert cut you have made for the mine. It gives the scene a feeling of depth that I think really enhances the scene. I actually quite like the overhang and the camp at the top is a nice addition. I also love the inclusion of the old rope bridge piece (I really need to work one into one of my builds one of these days!). All up nice work and it's good to see the end result of the prospecting.

The view from Captain Hunter's telescope is a great touch! Where did you get those yellow window lattices from? I don't think I've seen them before.Good to see our Westface garrison starting to establish their presence on Terraversa!

I saw then monkey and thought 'this is hilarious!'... then I noticed the dolphin!!!! Brilliant!

An outdoor spice market licensed as a small commerce for the settlement of Jameston.

The tropical conditions on Celestia are perfect for a wide range of spices. Other the vanilla beans the island is famous for; a wide variety of valuable spices are also grown. A number of spice markets have sprung up, including this small one in the area that is becoming known as the Nizami quarter as it is where a large number of the Nizami ETTC Sepoys from the Molokei empire have settled with their families. A large variety of chilli peppers, basils, gingers and various other valuable commodities can be seen on display. This small market generally only caters to local needs. I haven't had a lot of building time recently and I really wanted to get something small done today - so this is the rather modest result. Licensed as a small commerce in Jameston.

I have always had a love/hate relationship with lime green!

Faladrin, not sure if you saw it or not, but fort rules were updated in Feb 2017 and fort size restrictions dependant on settlement levels were removed. Update was announced here. And the Fort section of the By Land rules was updated around the same time. I know it can be hard for those of us who have been around since the beginning to keep track of how many times things have changed!!

Fantastic build Evan and sorry I am late to the party! The fort itself is beautifully done. I like the smoothness of the grand building as opposed to the rough farm buildings in this style that have proceeded it. The white is tastefully broken up as to not look too plain and the slate roof looks really good. The landscaping is well executed and the Duplo you used to raise the base pays off in this regard. While I too love medium dark flesh/nougat, I'm not sure about it here - for my personal taste it clashes a bit with the bright greens - but this is a very minor criticism and more of a personal taste thing - it certainly doesn't detract from the build in anyway!. I think one challenge we will face as we explore Panarium is that as we have imagined it as largely treeless, (although not so much in the valleys?) the wide expanses of green plates can tend to look a little bare. Maybe some scattered ground foliage such as leaves or grasses may help to break up the plates a little? I always struggle when using old green as the main landscape colour! Perhaps rather than going bright we might experiment with sand green and tan? Similar to this build? Although that may make it look a little too old world?? Anyway just musing here - as I said this is a fantastic build in a style of fort that we haven't much seen yet but which is probably quite accurate for the time period. Definitely a GoC from me.

Because I don't think it has ever been listed together in one place before, here are all the current Trade Company monopoly bonuses: Monopoly Name Trade Company Bonus Apple MAESTRO 50% Copper ETWC 75% Cotton or textile MCTC 50% Grape or wine RNTC 25% Iron MCTC 75% Oats or wheat ETWC 50% Silver RNTC 25% Opium FTA 25% Note. Going forward; to claim the bonus the property must be licensed in the name of the Trade Company (not individuals). If the TC wants to transfer funds via manual transactions to their individual members each month, they're free to do so. When licensing the property via webform, the builder must must answer the "Have you earned any other bonuses or modifiers for this property? Write the name of the bonus(es) and the amount / percentage here and why. " question. eg. "ETWC 75% bonus on copper " Any charted trade company may apply for a monopoly. Consider the following before applying. significant effort in both builds and back story is required to even be considered for a monopoly. An application is not a guarantee of success. Monopolies are very rare and the court will only grant them sparingly.

@Keymonus Congratulations! The Gods have indeed been good and it seems El Oleonda's reputation for riches is well founded! The intrepid miners have struck gold!

Thank you all for the feedback both here and via PM. I think I have now made all the adjustments and added the MRCA income and upkeep for the Nov-Dec 2020 sheet. Please let me know if there are any further discrepancies (it's difficult to keep up with all the rules that adjust accounts - I'm attempting to update the 'By Land' thread as I find new additions that have been added and not updated.

They are, but unfortunately TLG didn't produce them. They are from BrickForge

The Macarthur Residence, a medium residence in Wullham.

James Macarthur and his son Edward, are new arrivals in Wullham. James, a widower from the rural midlands of Corrington; has decided to settle in Wullham. Hearing of the potential of the island for sheep, he and Edward have spent a month in the Eslandolan settlement of Weelond procuring a small flock of sheep. Now they have arrived in Wullham with their dog, Edgar and two horses. After constructing a small stone house, white washed with flecks of light grey and lavender of the local rock showing through, they are heading up into the hills to fatten up the flock prior to the first shearing season. The lush grassland in the hills should see the flock in good health, and perhaps they will even expand coming breeding season! A soldier of the 26th Regiment of Foot gives way to the flock as they pass. Licensed as a medium residence in Wullham.

Beautiful scene evancelt! I really love the atmosphere you have created with this scene. So very peaceful and calming during these trying times in the Brick Seas!
