I gotta be honest, guys.  I am actually finding updating and constantly following this game to be a tremendous consumption of time and attention.  Frankly, I am seriously considering either dropping the project altogether or passing it off to anyone who I

Setup a state owned factory for firearms testing.

Given that the locals show no interest, the explorers depart from Milhamiah and continue along the coast, quickly reaching Adenbell (it looks like a port city, is it a port city? if not, swap the name for Estallum) and docking.  The explorers attempt to communicate in the same ways using gestures.

Fravath expands north

Espovon accepts embassy with Avalonia.

Caeser Agustius Argentius sends an envoy to the kingdom of Angland to ask if they might send some skilled geographers to help locate likely places springs might be within the borders of Aselien.

The messanger also asks if they would set up trade routes in exchange for gold and jewelery made by Native tribes(we have these because they intergrated and became citizens)

Check me, Swat, can I say they did this if they're on my land? Alternatively we traded with them and aquired it

The King surrenders his land. But on one catch;
They do become a state, but they retain the same independence of a country, and they help their military along.

Valbrandsvåg recruits 10,000 men to the national army. Areas to the north and south of the duchy are claimed for the nation.
Territory expands northward, however, conflicts for land in the south prevent specific expansion.

Thorsborg and Vestafjord have become the commercial powerhouses of the country. Inland trade routes to Espovon are opened.
Mind explaining how this happens?  It may seem petty, but I don't like RPs when someone says "we become successful now."





Washk takes these lands in their claim, also swat one can you add the black dot as "Llanfair", also the pink i just need small city outlines or dots

the uh gold, is what i want to add onto, and settle a coastal city near seris with the name "Llanfairpyllwing"
Cannot expand southward to to claim conflicts.

Washkian businesses are finding it difficult to stay competitive with the prevalence of international trade and high taxes due to military expenditures.



Fravath expands north
Cannot expant north due to land claiming dispute.

1.  Who said that they had jewelry with precious metals or had access to them in the first place?  GMs did not say they did.
2.  Aside from the usual small tribes found in the mountains, they find a larger, more civilized people residing in the foothills, who call themselves the Tzaek Family.  As they arrive, they find that they are quite wealthy.  The messengers don't quite reach Anglond because they run into this family, who enquire where they are from, and why they are here.

you seem extremely fixated on willing large amounts of gold into existence in your nation

With the Emperor's Railway project almost complete, he rallies his armies to begin a campaign downriver, to conquer more farm land.  A messenger is sent ahead, and he will stop when he meets with the borders of the Kyrev Empire.  To prevent any hostilities, the messenger will return to the Sunyong army and tell them to stop a few miles short of Kyrev's borders should they venture that far (probably not because that's pretty damn far even on horse/camel).

The two cities are the only major ports in the country, meaning sea-based trade routes to Valbrandsvåg exclusively go to them. A lot of resources from other places in the country is also imported there.  Naturally, people would exploit this by opening shops and starting businesses etc.

Got it.  Just what I needed.

Paying attention.


Chancellor Vjornsberg, declines to run in Avalonian elections, and instead advises the Avalonian people to vote in the man he's been grooming for the position.  The Avalonian people accept this with heavy hearts, but are delighted to hear that he will be doing one more act for the nation in the political sphere: acting as ambassador to the Northern city states that declined to join the Republic (between Avalonia and Arcon, excluding the island), and to offer again the invitation to join the Union.

Previously, these city states declined to join the Union for a number of reasons: some feared oppressive rule by a central government, some feared that the more ethnically and religiously diverse provinces in the North would become culturally overpowered by joining, and some just weren't convinced that it was a good idea.  None of these seeming to have been a major problem thusfar within Avalonia, Vjornsberg is confident in the success of his mission.
