    This was definetely worth waiting for! Such a presentation! Such a solid custom made hull! Such a beauty! It is difficult to put a size on the ship Bregir, a quick calculation gives me 60 studs hull length, making it at least 5, probably 6, max 7...

    Nice fort! It has the right tropical atmosphere I only wonder what the point of a fort is, when it has no guns :p

    Is there a reason why we have to choose what size the build is when filling in the webform? The only logical reason is for the settlement value determination, but then again, we don't have to fill in the place of action?

    Previous part: A gift from MAESTRO for the new King After gifting the gifts to the officials of Breshaun and providing the Cider Shop with new provision, the "Prince of Stedor" sailed a bit further. After a few hours sailing from Breshaun, the "Prince of Stedor" entered a small bay and joined some other vessels laying for anchor. All of them Eslandolan... Once anchored, some small rowboats were heading of the ship. Lord Maximilian Damaximus was overwatching the arriving rowboats. He clearly heard two voices mocking eachother. Sir Edward Thomas Wilkinson de Chauncourtois was laughing with the new haircut of the young Guy K. Wyndzon. In the third rowboat, Viceroy Renato Filamento was listening to the two others, while his eyes were focused on Lord Maximilian. They will never be best friends since he had a crush on princess Margot for such a long time. But he had to put his pride away, politics was much more important than a lovestory.... Inside the "Prince of Stedor", the guests and Maximilian started drinking applecider. Even they all were rivals, there was a good atmosphere. After some good laughs, Renato bounced his hand on the table. R: "Let's start the discussion" M: "indeed, so we all agree I may assume, as you all made the effort to come to here" All: "aye" G: "Perfect, so how are we doing it? We can't ask if he steps down..." E: "No, indeed, I fear it will be throug military actions" R: "We can't attack those bloody royalists on the old continent, they are too strong there. If we want to make a chance, we will have to take control over the New World settlements." M: "last time I saw the New World capital, it was filled with guards" G: "I can take care of that. Money does a lot... But we still need other soldiers as well..." M: "You see "Margot"? 80 Elite MAESTRO Soldiers are in it, as well with 40 reserve soldiers" R: "120 men? Where in Hades Realm found you them?" M smiled E: "So no actions in the Old World?" M: "Considering your power in the old world, I would propose ot keep you army stand-by. You never know if we need them. Guy, you have to take care of the diplomatic consequences of our actions. If I am right, you are going to Mardier soon. I hope your visit will be fruitfull and you will find allies there..." R: "So then we all know what to do..." All: "Long live Eslandola!" After the two Tradelords and the Viceroy disembarked, Maximilian went to his Cabin and looked to the maps of the New World. Soon he will give orders to his army. If everything goes as planned, Eslandola will become a true powerfull nation again. Provision: Elysabeth and Tomvaximus MAESTRO Explorer Jan Zwartbaard Bow Middle ------------------- C&C welcome! She will be licenced as a Class 5 T2. With some minor modifications, she can easily be a Class 5HA as well. Maybe when the class 5+ classification is known, she will be classified as a class 6... Licence chart: MAESTRO ESL: 0 (2 shares) MAESTRO COR: 50 (1 share) Maxim: 150 (3 shares) Legostone: 100 (2 shares) TitusV: 50 (1 share) Tomsche: 50 (1 share)

    Eslandola galleon in sight! Breshaun life stopped for a second, some heads turning to the port. Indeed a proud galleon entered the harbour. White painted, green flags on top. The ship didn't steal its name, it was surely a prince. 3 rowboats left the "Prince of Stedor" and headed for the quays. Meanwhile, some Oleon officers and royals arrived at the MAESTRO commerce house, as it was here where the rowboats would go to. Lord Damaximus was looking around him. Breshaun is such a nice port, so vibrant ... . But also so full of soldiers. Everywhere he looks, he sees marching guards. Luckily MAESTRO is always welcome in Breshaun since they opened a cider shop on the quays. The best cider in the world, made in Elysabethtown from the apples of Felipe de la Manzana. Giving a gift to an official for the new king Philip of Oleon. Long may he reign! ------------------------- C&C welcome!! I am going to licence this as medium commerce house. Am I right that Oleon pays me back half of the licence cost as it is located in Breshaun?

    Why not Maximusia?

    At all Oleon'ers, As the Purple Rain still is anchored in one of your harbours, the gun shotsyou just heard were no acts of war, but a tribute to a prince who passed away...
  11. Maxim I
    Hahaha, bwa, we got also a non PR name and even propaganda for another nation name for the island we are going to choose.
  12. Maxim I
    I still don't get it... Women are so afraid of a cute mouse, but they adore hamsters, cavias and chihuahua's...

    Addendum: And we warn you for lookouts talking about respecting their "authoritie"... They are screwing their mates too much by going home...
  14. Maxim I
    Me too... I bought the QAR for a nice discount, but I never saw the Black Pearl somewhere...

    I really like how the Walrus is developping!!! I am looking forward to the finished vessel! Are you LDD building with only existing pieces?
  16. Maxim I
    I think I haven't responded yet on this magnificent bulding! So many things to love! The colour combinations is excellent as well :) It was fun to follow the process on your flickr :D

    My intentions are not to make a fuzz about it all, it just is sth I wondered... I think it is the lifetime goal of every serious builder to get the honour of being frontpaged once in their lifetime. When I posted Margot, the extremely beautifull HMS enterprize was posted at the same time in the pirates forum, which was definitely worth the frontpage. I am not frustrated, I only wanted to have a bit feedback. The Margot got a reaction of almost every active Bobs-member, which I really enjoyed as it means she was very well received. I just wondered what make you guys decide. Now I know it is mostly a matter of awesome building skills and luck, I will keep continuing my quest to be frontpaged one day :p

    Very nice looking ship!!! I am however going to put it in a higher class in my ship index (and in the faction index stating you licenced it as a class 2WR) You don't have to consider this bigger index class in your licencing progress, but if you ever want to have a bigger licence (for the full cost of that licence), it will be possible!
  19. Maxim I
    So, no Margot being frontpaged? :( that's too bad :( Congratz to those being frontpaged! Well deserved and it shows how great this community is!
  20. Maxim I
    Just to be clear, in Dutch a "fokker" is a breeder hahaha :p Well, it's not like you can eat horses :p they are just breeded and sold here, like a bakery for example :)
  21. Maxim I
    It is even more fun if you know the West-Flemish dialect: Peirdefokker

    Thanks! I fear the sails will not be for now. I want to master the sail making before adding decent sails :) Thanks! It is indeed a shame the prefab hulls are not realistic in that point. It would have been better if there was no curve, so it really looks like the ship sails in the water. On the other hand, I do understand TLG, as thanks to this curve, a pirate ships looks like a pirate ship for kids... All their prefab hulls are made for display models and not for realistic "ship in the water looks". As you said, it is very difficult to maintain the balance between highth, width and length. I redid a large part of the ship when it started to turn out to high and to small.

    There is a reason why the coat of arms of Elysabethtown is a "Lancer". Elysabethtown is well known for its regiment of dragoons stationed there. As horses are such an important part of life in the Eslandolan colony, the Horse Ranches are of significant importance. Just outside Elysabethtown, the Horse Ranch of Pierre de Fokker is located across a small river. Guarded 24/7 by MAESTRO soldiers against the unknown threats there possibly are. A commercial place selling the finest horses of Terra Versa! --- Note: as I never collected green plates and as I spent a large amount of brown bricks in my latest fort, I decided to build in LDD... Building with real bricks is way more easier! This will be licenced as Large Commerce property. C&C welcome!
