Maxim I

Amazing collab! The details are an absolute pleasure for the eyes and the accompanying story really finishes it!

Choosing Colors Lord Damaximus was kinda enerved. It was already a quarter passed twelve and he was starting to get hungry. His appointment of 12 o'clock was not on time. Those bloody Terrelli designers. Lord Damaximus found them kinda odd. No respect for nobility, always high fashion clothed and speaking in a bizar dialect. Suddenly he heard: "Mi excusi mylord Damaximus. Traffic was very very very bad. Mama Mia." Lord Damaximus quickly replied: "I am glad Trador is still a bustling city, but let us not lose more time. I am starting to get hungry. Show me what you got Giancarlo". "Si, si!". *claps his hands* A few soldiers entered the room, wearing what looked like a small broadside section of a ship. "Mylord. I have designed 3 options to replace the lost Purple Rain. The first option is the Purple Rain II. Same colorscheme. People would not know it was missing if they did not see the 'II' behind the name. The second option is more darker. The reddishbrown is now an extra layer of purple and the dark brown is now black. I call it the "Dark Purple Rain". More purple, more darkness." Lord Damaximus like the second option. A full black vessel with purple touches. Sweet... It was then he saw the third option... "Aaah I see you have noticed my personal favourite. 'The Pink Rain'. The purple of the second option is pink in this configuration. It is to show possible enemies we have cahones enough to sail in a pink decorated vessel! Bellisimo!" Not convinced by Giancarlo, Lord Damaximus shaked his head. "I will go for the 'Dark Purple Rain'. That colorscheme is already daring enough". Slightly disappointed, Giancarlo continued. "Dark Purple Rain it will be. Now let's move on to the replacement of the lost Tuna King. We could go for 'Tuna King II', 'Salmon King' or when thinking out of the box: 'Aquaman'. Lord Damaximus looked to the 3 figureheads Giancarlo proposed. "Why not, go for the 'Aquaman'. And now I will leave you, I am really really hungry. --------------- Preparing voyages. Some time later, many sailors were heading towards the Merchant Quays. Both 'Aquaman' and 'Dark Purple Rain' were ready to sail. Moms, daughters, sons and curious bypassers were wishing the sailors good luck. ----------------- Original vessels: Tuna King Purple Rain

I agree with Bregir. If I may find some Road Runners, I could use them as Oleon soldiers, but that’s the most I could do with this serie

As always excellent presentation! For such a small base, you managed to make the fullest out of it

Playing with ships Lord Maximilian Damaximus loved to play with his model ships before going to sleep. Just like every night, his wife is calling him to go to sleep. “I’ll be there pronto, just 5 more minutes max’ he replied. They both knew that would be at least half an hour... - A build to raise my ship level. All references to real life experiences may or may not be intended

Thanks! It is made through Stud.io, where it are the dark green variants of the imperial torsos :)

MAESTRO Message towards other nations: read more about it here:

MAESTRO Message towards other nations: Port of origin was Trador and the voyage was calm. No enemy vessels spotted, only a Lotus patrol, but since Michiel Van Bardo took part in the mission to Southern Halos and thus spent together with that expedition 6 months in the Lotus Empire, learning the basic of their language, the patrol let the Beluga pass through. Luckily for the company inside, as place was a bit crowded, which made the vessel had a lesser manouvrability (temporary -1 manouvrability to create 1 temporary cargo space) Arrived at 'The Lowers', the Royal Engineers quickly unloaded the Beluga and started setting up basecamp. The Beluga will try to get first intell in the meantime (Blue points)

Troopraising in Trador: And I updated the second post in the MAESTRO topic. A quick reminder of our power to everyone

Second post updated with military overview + a quick reminder of how powerfull the fleet of MAESTRO still is

Years ago, MAESTRO established a tradepost in Madin. Business there flowered as the Tellvokians loved the delicious apples from New Terra. And everytime a new batch of the applecider arrived, people were standing in rows to get it asap. The sales of weapons was a bit harder due the difficult regulations and laws, but the deal that was made with the Sultan himself to be supplier of the finest Eslandolan weapons, was a nice treasure filler. After the rumours of the Terraversan war reached Madin, the local MAESTRO officer Seif Calli decided to raise new units to help their loyal Terraversan Friends. The only problem was that he could not find out where exactly to send them as his intell was not that up2date. The safest choice was to send them to Trador. A Xebec was chartered and Seif Calli sailed along the 2 companies to Trador. He was looking forward to see the beautifull city again. Weeks passed by, and finally they arrived in Trador. After disembarking, and after the news was going through the city, they were warmly welcomed by one of his old friends. Data: Raising of the 37th & 38th Company of Infantry, part of the 13th Battalion 'Tellvok Scorpions', a subdivision of the 5th Regiment 'Foreign Legion' Location: Trador Owner: MAESTRO

Nice plantation! Love the realistic atmosphere it gives (with the smoke coming out of the chimes, the fire pits, ...). Also great job on the windmill. It might be some inspiration for me in the future if I ever start building on mine haha

Great job on the windmill! Ah a good old fashioned knight fighting for those in need! If he ever wants to become an Alleenridder, feel free to contact a local MAESTRO officer

Wow, you’re good at animal building! Those hedgehogs are absolutely fabulous!

You were so kind to post WIPS of this, and I was absolutely fan of your progress. The result is quite surprising with the oriental tower on top, but it works very well! Also how you did the cracks in the wall, breathtaking!

Have checked this topic for the third time already, and still enjoy the build Wonderfull stream with bridge. And really awesome house. It reminds me of a local landmark not far from here, so awesome job!

Troopraising in Weelond:

Thanks! If you mean an arm that is not really connected in the body, then yes

Since the founding of Stedor by Alleenridder refugees, Stedor continued the military tradition of its founders. The forces of Stedor were known far and wide and her knights kept roaming the corners of the known and even unknown world. Once together, the cavalry was a formidable foe. As empires were forged and wars were fought for the slightest reason, the cavalry proved their worth multiple times. Ofcourse nowadays they are not a bunch of colourfull medieval knights anymore, but a true modern regiment of Dragoons. Equipped with muskets and sabres, able to fight mounted or on foot. The legendary First Battalion of Cavalry was on a training mission in Weelond when they received the message that they will be sent to the battle theater in Terraversa. For Eslandola! For MAESTRO! For Terraversa! Data: 1 Battalion - licenced in Weelond by MAESTRO

Was thinking about doing something similar, so thanks for this great inspiration! You really nailed it :D Also great job on the waves!

I love the creativity that is going on for troop raising (and not just use the original redcoat soldier). Great job with these Clansmen!

hahaha sweet joke! Love how you made a face with open mouth out of a casket!

The writing made me laugh, so great job! It would almost make me donate high fashion clothes to those friendly Sea Rats. Luckily it is the MCTC that has the clothing monopoly, not MAESTRO haha :D the build itself is also very enjoyable. So many great things to see and amazing that the 3 buildings are presented as one great lay-out

Not saying they are not beautifull sets, but they could have chosen more wisely. On top of my head, I would say at least 4 old ideas are in the same line of Old Fishing Store, making it probably difficult to see one of those 4 make it into a set. Only the Venetian idea really appeals to me (and can be used in a Pirate themed lay-out). Or if you want to do some orient stuff with your pirates, the Temple and Japan ideas are nice as well

As always a feast to the eyes! The wooden remaints of the roof are absolutely well done And a nice story to read
