I'm going to use Empire Total War to play mock-battles in place of any mechanics, scaling the forces involved to what my posts say. Wont be perfect, but it will stop me from accidentally releasing OP goo over everything. Unless of course I particularly want/need an area for the story's sake. 

So in this first battle, I'm going to go up against a full deck of militia based units with a quarter of decent troops. 

I'll post the numbers (casualties) in my posts where battles have taken place, and the posts themselves will reflect how the battle went. 

Of course this could be a disaster, but we'll see :P

Also, forgot to say something in my last post.
This is a way to make sure no tribal uprisings happen, by thoroughly conquering them, if not you'll just end up like the Europeans in the Americas who faced uprisings for a while.
