Maxim I

It was defintely a highlight :D and a pain in the a to organise for me :p Big thx to Sebeus, TitusV and Captain Green Hair (and myself) :)

I think the way it is now should be good. IRL, discovering an island doesn't gave you a scroll with the do's and dont's. So if there are rumours of sth on a particular island, why don't you make small builds trying to discover them? :) That could be a farmer with some crops to see how the soil reacts or a scientist who takes samples of the ground...

Or as suggested already earlier: ships that not participate should get a landbased income (maybe not as much as a real landbased, but still sth)

Or we just could agree that as compensation for everything (and the 2 months without MRCA), players got a revenue just like if it was a property... Those who invested in ships have lost at least 2 months of income comparing those landrubbers...

Seriously, this really destroys the fun of the game... Why is everyone always so negative and paranoid??? The moment someone says something, everyone thinks a war will result... If you want to know what was misposted, it was Titus asking Elostirion the permisson to post this here in an act of friendship between MCTC and MAESTRO as there are some struggles. Nothing more nothing less. And Garmadon, I don't see the problem of this (I was surprised as well, that's true). It's not like Titus is saying something the crown didn't confirm in the past. All he wanted is to make Eslandola strong again. Thank you for ruining this act of unity and publicly denouncing Titus. Great job! Congratz...

Hahaha, great initiative, but you have pasted too much my friend

May & July: Golden Star | Class 2F | 20 troops. Thx for the revenues! It is too bad though the Prio thing is on a hold. I choosed to let the Prince of Stedor (class 5T2 + 2 hired platoons extra) not participate in the MCRA as she would have been my next move (reinforcements) Oh well, at least Prio is a free state for now

Me, Monsieur Maximilien du Maximus, as very famous Oleonanderoner, propose island 16 as addition to the very gloryfull Oleon empire! Vive le moi!

Very interesting twist in my most favourite story of the year! Go!

Don't miss the chance of your live to be part of an awesome huge Pirate Lay-out!!! Registration opened for Brickmania Antwerp (12 & 13 November). Do you wanna be part of a 100 square meter Pirate lay-out? Together with these awesome builders? - Maxim I - TitusV - Kabel - Ecclesiastes - Legostone - Captain Braunsfeld - Bonaparte - Faladrin - Captain Green Hair - Tomsche - Peter G. - Johan L. "Lt. Hornblower" & Cedric with their landbased battles (18m²) - Imperial Shipyards - Sebeus - .... Interested? Sent a pm to me!

So registration of Brickmania Antwerp opened, Are there some other pirates interested in making history with the most beautifull Pirate Lay-out (and at least the greatest) ever made???

Very nice interior!!! So, how are MCTC and ETWC protecting their fleet, if MAESTRO's warships are not sailing along? :)

Congratz to all the winners! But tbh, it won't be the last time I participated, but it will be the last time I'll make sth out of the box. As in previous challenges, my entries don't make it in the top 3, because they probably are not mainstream enough. Which is a shame because they all are original... So next time I'll build sth along the books like everyone else... Edit: the only entry that made it in the top 3 was my Fort Viking, which was made along the rules and entries of everyone else. Both my viking village and spa resort for the other challenges were not award winners, even they had some very well thought stories and were accompanied by nicely executed MOC's (if I may believe the comments on them)...

This is stunning!!! I really like it, even it is digital :)

congratz to everyone!!! Yeeey Namere :D

Habahabahaba.... Still drooling What.... A .... Beautifull ... Shields..... The best ever created by TLG

CH3A - The Fountain of Youth Spa | Maxim I | Eslandola

(note: the first picture is a recycled picture only serving story purpose) (recycled picture) Somewhere in Breshaun, everday business was going on. An older guy with an oddly brown beard and poor clothes went to the MAESTRO Cider shop at the quays. "Greatings monsieur N'estpassivieux, how are you doing today?" "Ah, excellent eh, oui yes, but too bad it will be my last applecider I'll drink in my life" "How it comes? You are our most loyal client!" "Ah oui yes, I should not say it, but as I am older, I don't have so much longer to live. And see, I got a cousin in Mardier, and the higher class in Mardier spent their last days in a Spa. Something about a white volcano It makes them feel younger. But only Marderians are supposed to know." "Really too bad, we'll miss you... Anyway, enjoy the applecider and your holiday there!" At the same time monsieur N'estpassivieux left, a messenger left and took a quick Skiff to Elysabethtown. -------- A few days later, around miday, The Prince of Stedor arrived at an island with a white volcano. It wasn't that hard to find once you knew what to search for... (note, this seriously is not LEGO... It is to illustrate the island and the inspiration for the following pic which is LEGO and is my story build.) ---------- "A Mardierian flag, this should be the right spot", Jan Zwartbaard whispered to his Lieutenant once they set foot on the land. They found a perfect spot to hide the Prince of Stedor and the troops stationed on it. "I don't like the symbol of Zeus as flagpole" the Lieutenant replied. Strange indeed... But the explanation came quickly as the exploring party arrived at the so hyped Fountain of Youth. "Welcome to the Fountain of Youth Spa, Please register here, leave your money and weapons there, change your clothes wherever you want and start relaxing!" A beauitull woman welcomed the explorers. Jan Zwartbaard was stunned for a moment. Such a beauty!! But then the Lieutenant woke him up from daydreaming and pointed to some red cloaked figures on top of a small hill. The lady saw them looking and wondering, so she said: "That's Lord Father Toleau. He discovered this island and made this wonderfull Spa Resort out of it." "What's the secret of this island?" "Well, the rich and famous from Mardier are enjoying the end of their life here. As we got everything in this Spa and they may do everything here, added with the healing atmosphere of the White Volcano, they feel young again. Ofcourse they don't live forever, but at least, they die feeling young..." Meanwhile Lord Father Toleau arrived at the scene as well, accompanied with two red cloaked guards. "Ah Eslandolan friends... As good tradepartner of Mardier, you are welcome to take a rest here, but we fear you are too young to stay here..." "Weren't you an Oleon priest?" "Oh yes, but after I discovered the island, Mardier offered me the most power and wealth, so now this a Mardierian Colony." Jan Zwartbaard knew enough.... Lord Father Toleau didn't know there was war between Eslandola and Mardier... He didn't know YET... He looked to his Lieutenant and nodded... What a beautifull addition to the MAESTRO empire... To be continued... ------------------------------------- Wow, such a difficult built as it is completely SNOT... But I am very happy with the result! C&C welcome!!

Except if Good Fortune is the name of an hostile vessel :D

Kite has been captured / destroyed if I remember correctly...

I am going to reply on this after voting is closed so I will not influence possible voters.

my thoughts :)

Thanks a lot Capt. Wolf! Turning the Barracuda to a 2 decker has always been a dream for me. So thanks a lot for being such a great example! I might do smth similar in the future :D

As Mike didn't manage to finish in time (that can happen to everyone), I'll just tell how the story goes further: The investigator leaves the lighthouse and sees a few ships battling against eachother. He clearly sees one party are Oleanders, the other party is anonymous. He follows the capturers with his own ship till Bastion. Where he discovers the ships belonged once to a Namere captain before mutiny broke out on them.

Phred, may I ask a correction? Gedren build sth last mont and it was supposed to be licenced by me (in name of MAESTRO). But as there was a slight discussion back then about what kind of property it was. I lost track of the discussion and forgot to licence it. I did it now, but we are already a new month and if I am not wrong, it was the missing property for an upgrade of Nova Terelli. So here my difficult question, could you make the licence to be happened in June instead of July? The build was made in June and MAESTRO had enough money to licence it :/ Thx!
