The Colonial Elites are busy prepping their ships with supplies, soldiers, and settlers, while privateers and buccaneers make way with what they have. The Colonial Elites look to found new land for their governments and monarchs, while others seek to find wealth, rulership, and adventure, among other things. For everyone other than the Colonial Elites, the only things in their way now are the natives of the New World, and mother nature, with the treacherous seas behind them. Players may choose a grid location of land anywhere to start, and may send men to explore it, venture with them, and even send their ship out to explore more land if they wish. Players should not expect to know the lay of the land at all, as the charts you currently have are only charts made by old explorers that sailed by the coast - the land is wild and untamed, and you may find carnivorous animals, natives, or other dangers, if it isn't safe. Not sure if you can do something? Ask your Officer. Otherwise, do whatever you want. Your character can do just about anything solo, with their crew, or otherwise, just make sure to get your Officers insight first, which will lay the foundations of your expedition. The only left is the great unknown, and while we fear it, our curiosity also overpowers that fear. [b]Current Known Colonial Elite Territory[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/VT0V0cz.jpg[/img]
