...and (hmm, 3 post in a row, kind of much) the rules don't say how much ships cost to build, as chief of manhattan I really want to know that.
Could you mail me the map?
As conquistador, I would like to know where I am standing now, so that I can tell the council where I am heading.
Also, do I get money to purchase extra soldiers? How big is my army? Do I have a ship?
Etc. etc.
Oh, and while we are at it (I am quite demanding, I know
), could you mail me one of those forms you have posted about earlier?
Thank you.

well emperor, we have Onondaga free,the last of the Big 6 Chiefs. I am on ICQ right now, so if people want to add me to their list, go ahead. Improfane, i can mail you your sheet, as well as the map.
In regards to the map, it said wait 24 hours, which would place it up this evening.
Costs for troops are 5d/infantry[EDIT:i do not take part in child selling. No sir, not me
12d/cavalry
Ships: 8d/warships
5d/transports.
Improfane, there are 3 Main Armies, with 6000 inf, 5000 horse. This is your arm. You do not have a ship, you need to convince one of the port Chiefs to give you one.
As for money, you have nothing, you will only get it when you settles down.If you ICQ me know, I can send the forum and map to you

The Year 1492, Beginnings, smiles and sadness
The Beginning of a new year saw great hope and expectation lead off. The three main Armies, led by I-Want-You-Tecumseh-This, Azure of the White Sea and Huron who charges with pants on his head all set out along their respective routes. The first calls for warriors in several of the great cities went out, and many saw this as a new age in the life of the Haudenosaunee Nation. I was honoured, Blows on Jugs of the long forgotten Samson Tribe, from around the area of where present day Susquehanna was. I was given the enviable honour of recording the happenings of the world at large (Our World). With deft use of both CHS and VFCHS, he would be apprised of the acts of the 3 noble Haudenosaunee Adventurers. And so begins the history, Our History…
Jan 1 1492
The construction begins in several cities of new huts for the Gatherers to be stationed there. Troops are called up in several cities as well. The three main armies left, with Azure heading through Tuscarora, then Catskill and finally to Connecticut, where it was hoped that he would be able to convince the tribes there of his goodwill.
I-Want-You-Tecumseh-This headed from Oswego through Onondaga to Niagara, where he would attempt to sway the tribes there to join the Confederacy. And Huron Who Charges With His Pants on His Head headed for Appalache, thence to Kentucky, and many wished him the best of luck.
Jan 27-29 1492
I have received via VFCHS word that Huron-Who-Charges-With-His-Pants-On-His-Head arrived in Appalache this day. His diplomatic skills fail him miserably, and the tribes there attack him and the war party he leads. On the 28 of this month, he kills the last of them, but other tribes have heard of his deeds, and he is now known as a conqueror. This worries some, but many Haudenosaunee do not care one way or another. On the 28, the first of the settler’s heads out, as Chief of the Shenandoah now knows his settlers will be safe, with the hostile tribes being dispersed in Appalache.
Huron-Who-Charges-With-His-Pants-On-His-Head now leaves for Kentucky. He will contact me again, that I may copy down his exploits in our History. As well, our chief Traders [merchants, (cT)] expand our trade in the centre at Mohawk.
Feb 14-15 1492
Well, I received word from both I-Want-You-Tecumseh-This and Huron-Who-Charges-With-His-Pants-On-His-Head, from Niagara and Kentucky respectively. Both were attacked without warning, and both showed why they are adventurers. In Kentucky, a force of 200 hostile warriors fought our army of 11000. Sufficed to say, there were no casualties. But in Niagara, things were not so crystal clear. An ambush caught several men unawares, and I-Want-You-Tecumseh-This lost 13 foot and 2 horse. This does not bode well for him. Chief of the Onondaga sends his settlers to Niagara, the second to do so. Huron-Who-Charges-With-His-Pants-On-His-Head sends word via VFCHS that he will be unable to send more letters, as he is heading to parts unknown. He promises that he will send a group of messages in November of this year. In Niagara, I-Want-You-Tecumseh-This heads towards Oshawa and points beyond. He also tells me that he will send a group of messages in November.
March 11-17
Azure of the White Sea arrives in Connecticut, and is shocked to learn that his diplomatic skills are not as well tuned as he thought. He fails to convince the tribes there to join him, and several outright attack him!
The battle is long and very bloody. Of all the armies, Azure has taken the worst hit. It seems that the Tribes in Connecticut were especially fierce. He loses close to 400 foot and 75 horse. Losses like this cannot be accepted. As I read these letters, I wonder what of the lands on the southern border, next to Chesapeake. No one offered to go there, and this smacks of a grave mistake. But I digress. Mine is not to judge the will of the Adventurers, or to question why one was not ordered to the south. Oh well. Let me return to the task at hand, the glory of the Haudenosaunee. Azure heads to the east, and worries that he will not be able to keep in contact with me for much longer. He will send his messages in December, and hopefully bring news of a great success.
March 27-28 1492
Horrible News! The settlers sent by Chief of the Shenandoah were massacred en masse, leaving nothing but smoking huts in the area. This is of great concern to Chief of the Shenandoah. Perhaps he will have justice next year? I, for one, hope so.
As well, the army of Manhattan arrives in Catskill Province, and engages the enemy tribes there immediately. We can only hope they win their battle.
April 9-17 1492
News trickles in, as word from Catskill and Niagara reaches these ears:
Success! Niagara is now part of the Haudenosaunee Nation! Chief of the Onondaga, wise man that he is, has shown sage judgment in his choice of lands. His 10000-man army had shrunk, as the amount of food in the province was not sufficient enough to feed them, and 400 men died because of it. Perhaps Chief of the Onondaga is not so sage?
And in Catskill, Chief of the Manhattan has shown that the army of Manhattan is great indeed. Success in quelling the tribes revolting there. And as the last Catskill warrior falls, an expedition is already sent to Catskill. It is hoped the trader will succeed, and that the nation of the Haudenosaunee will increase!
May 7-18 1492
The army of Irondekoit, 2000 men strong, heads to Erie on May 7, and after several days of marching, is ambushed by the natives there. The army of Irondekoit fights bravely, but loses nearly 700 men, and is forced to retreat to Shenandoah. But they vow to return later this year. I hope for their safety they succeed.
News from Connecticut. Success there! A new colony, and the Confederacy grows. The Nation of Haudenosaunee, in all its glory, now is so much more. On May 18, the new lands are added to our Nation, and Chief of the Mohawk is much pleased.
June 15 1492
What is it about Chief of the Manhattan? Is he the luckiest man alive? The traders manage to avert several “accidents” on their way to Catskill Province, and set up a new post there. All Hail, Chief of the Manhattan! A wise man, and lucky as well!
June 21 1492
Success in Powhatan. Even though the natives there are very hostile to us, Chief of the Chesapeake has managed to send very competent settlers there. Perhaps he will send warriors to guard there? It would be a shame to lose such a wonderful colony to a hostile tribes incursions.
Aug 12-28 1492
Well, what can I say? The army of Irondekoit, with the numbers they had, managed to beat back the tribes in Erie, but failed miserably when counter-attacked. Their numbers have dwindled, and this chronicler thinks that there is a real chance that settlers sent to Erie will die. But I am morbid this day. I have still not heard from any of the Adventurers, and I worry. The Confederacy worries. It is hoped that they are alright.
October 23 1492: Kebec? A new land, A New era…
I have just received word from I-Want-You-Tecumseh-This. Kebec, a strange new land, lies before him. He has traveled far, and must admit that, well, let me show you what he wrote:
The routes I took were treacherous, the tribes I met, hostile, attacking me without provocation, and I must say that I am glad to be in an area that does not have hostile tribes trying to slit my throat as I sleep.Ha ha. I will wait here until the new year. As for my province that I claim as my own, I choose Oshawa, and have sent some settlers even as I write this. It shall be put in a trust until I decide to settle, whenever that may be. I shall send more correspondence for the next Council. As always, I am the most brave
I-Want-You-Tecumseh-This
December 13 1492
The remaining chiefs have waited for a long time, and all send their colonists now. Chief of the Tuscarora sends a trader to Susquehanna, Oswego sends his settler to Michilimakinak, and Irondekoit sends his settler to Erie. We all hope that this is not in vain.
December 31 1492
Well, word has been sent from Huron-Who-Charges-With-His-Pants-On-His-Head, Azure of the White Sea and I-Want-You-Tecumseh this. It seems that all three of them were slightly successful in the very few attempts at diplomacy. Azure gained 40 warriors from Massachusetts, Huron received 130 from Biloxi, where he lost the settlers he sent. And Tecumseh, he gained 30 men from Huron, before he was cruelly attacked. New lands lie before us. The new provinces of Hochelaga, Shawinigan and Kebec were discovered by I-Want-You-Tecumseh-This. Huron-Who-Charges-With-His-Pants-On-His-Head has discovered Tennessee, Yazoo, and Biloxi.
Azure of the White Sea sent his colonist to Micmac, after discovering Massachusetts, which was claimed by Delaware, for a small sundry that has not been revealed to this humble chronicler. Azure also discovered Penobscot and Bangor
The Beginning of a new year saw great hope and expectation lead off.

The chief of Manhattan, Swings-on-the-End-of-a-Rope, invites every chief to a big party, he feels lucky indeed, and wise, not to forget.
Huron-who-charges-with-pants-on-his-head would like to take up the invitation of Swings-on-the-End-of-a-Rope, yet, he is too far away now, so all he can do is drink some cotton juice while he is there in spirit.
Onodaga are party animals so Chief-Who-Wears-No-Pants-Because-They-Itch will surely come!!!
Cheif Swings-on-th-End-of-a-Rope promise that he will build a party hut as big to be able to contain millions of smoke rings. There will be gumbo too, because the wise chief has hired Jamba as chef.
Chief Slayer of Many Chairs, while attending the party, accidently slices the dinner table in half, sending food flying and starting a food fight. Needless to say, a good time was had by all.
ok, for some reason people are putting this stuff in the wrong thread. if you continue, you make it far more difficult to follow the updates of the game. So please, please, post in the story/rumours thread? otherwises there will be 10 posts about whatever inbetween updates, and that is not good. Ok? So leave this thread for the updates only, please?
Strange things and beautiful Ore
The year had begun with great news. Two new adventurers, and each had declared undying loyalty to the Confederacy. And so, with the Council finally finished, it was left to me to chronicle what happens in 1493. And so, let me begin…
Jan 1 1493
The call for warriors goes out in every province save Shenandoah and Irondekoit. Do these chiefs have knowledge others do not?
I receive word that the Adventurers head out from their respective areas, and I await notice from them. It is relayed to me that they will all report on June 30, and then again on December 30. They say they do this to allow them freer reign. I wish them good luck and the Great Spirit’s Eyes upon them. The initiation of elders in Irondekoit and Mohawk shows that these two chiefs wish their lands to be judged fairly in their absence. Many others comment on the wisdom in this. As well, forts are increased in Onondaga- “Land of Nonsense”- in Haudenosaunee, and in Manhattan-“Land of Great Beads”. We await word of the troops. The two new adventurers, apparently unaware of the CHS and the VFCHS decided to send reports as soon as they can. Both head out together, through the lands of Chesapeake, and to points beyond. Good luck, noble warriors…
Jan 13 1493
Well, word comes from troops sent from Tuscarora. They were successful in defeating the small tribe that was there. Much drinking is done in the Hut of Chief Big Floppy Donkey Dick.
Feb 12 1493
Well, the first of the latecomers, sent last year much later than anyone else, have reached their respective areas. In Michilimakinak, Oswego has good luck, as his settlers manage to tame wild beasts there, thus ensuring their survival for now. However, in Erie, and in Susquehanna, failure. And so, a new colonist is sent by Manhattan, and Tuscarora can do nothing but smile resignedly. A shame. And the news of failure in Erie enrages Chief of the Irondekoit. He vows vengeance on those who would kill his people. He now must rely on success in Kebec. He waits patiently for news from there.
Feb 28 1493
Great news! Success in both Massachusetts and Micmac. It seems that Azure of the White Sea has great oratory skills. It is hoped he can persuade more tribes to put down the arrows of war and instead take up the pipe of peace…
March 1 1493
Well, this day brings news, both good and bad. We receive word from those who sent out settlers and traders on the first day of the new year. In Penobscot, Oswego traders succeed in setting up a trader’s post, and in Kebec, Irondekoit settlers are welcomed, at least for now. Much rejoicing goes on in the lands of Irondekoit when news of this great accomplishment is received. And in Niagara, new settlers bolster the population of the fledgling colony. In Powhatan, Bangor and Biloxi, however, failure is all that can be seen. The head of the lead settler sent to Bangor fails to reach Mohawk, but the rest of the body does. And the Army of the Chair marches on, in the hopes of capturing those responsible for the atrocity. We await word of anything, and hope only our adventurers are doing ok…
March 3 1493
Massacre!! Powhatan was thought to be safe, but native tribes in the area raised their arrows in revolt. The settlement was lost completely. The new warriors in Chesapeake will be sent to take care of business.
April 13 1493
Manhattan, which must mean “Land of the Blessed Peoples” sets up a new colony in Susquehanna. It must be said that this chronicler that little of their chance to succeed. The hostility was such that no one would ever accept a new colony being set up there. And yet, the magic of Manhattan managed this. They have two holdings now, and are growing in Stature.
June 23 1493
Well, the trader sent by Delaware did not survive the long trip, and failed to reach it’s mysterious target. In just under 8 days, I shall receive reports from each Adventurer. Perhaps we will learn of their exploits?
June 30 1493
Well, to make this easier for all, I will simply list each Adventurer, and what they have achieved:
Huron-Who-Charges-With-Pants-On-His-Head
- Gets troops, totaling 200 men, to join him as he explores to the South. He thinks he may be close to the lands of the As-Tecks. He soldiers onwards.
I-Want-You-Tecumseh-This
- Well, he has new holdings after successfully convincing natives of his generosity. He does not say what these new holdings are, but does say that they are excellent. Well, we await the next report to learn more.
Azure of the White Sea
- Well, he has succeeded in settling new lands, but nothing is known of them. He says that he is happy where he is, and rests there until the next year.
Blind Elephant and White Wolf
- Well, the news is not bad, but it is not good either. Both Blind Elephant and White Wolf have only found one new province. But they soldier onwards.
Jan 25 1494!
What the blazes? Never has the Council met so late into the new year. But when it is discovered why, perhaps the Chiefs will understand why it is the best possible news for all involved. I print here a letter from Huron-Who-Charges-With-His-Pants-On-His-Head:
Blows on Jugs! You rascal! How is the young women you…(ruffles the sheets, and clears his throat)… Ahem! Well, let’s skip the pleasantries. Ah yes, here we go…
The natives, known collectively as the “Aztecs”, were fierce warriors,and fought my men.My original force of 11000 + men was whittled down to 3000 men. But, and I must stress this, I convinced almost 14000 of the Aztec Warriors, in thier ignoble defeat, to join me in my exploits! And so, we now have lands so rich in ores, that we never need worry about anything again! I will let people know of my plans soon. Farewell
Well, it seems that if this is not a good enough reason to postpone a Council Start, well, nothing is. Good Job, Huron! Good Job indeed
The year had begun with great news. Two new adventurers, and each had declared undying loyalty to the Confederacy. And so, with the Council finally finished, it was left to me to chronicle what happens in 1493. And so, let me begin…

Well, the trader sent by Delaware did not survive the long trip, and failed to reach it’s mysterious target. In just under 8 days, I shall receive reports from each Adventurer. Perhaps we will learn of their exploits?
June 30 1493
Well, to make this easier for all, I will simply list each Adventurer, and what they have achieved:
Huron-Who-Charges-With-Pants-On-His-Head
- Gets troops, totaling 200 men, to join him as he explores to the South. He thinks he may be close to the lands of the As-Tecks. He soldiers onwards.
I-Want-You-Tecumseh-This
- Well, he has new holdings after successfully convincing natives of his generosity. He does not say what these new holdings are, but does say that they are excellent. Well, we await the next report to learn more.
Azure of the White Sea
- Well, he has succeeded in settling new lands, but nothing is known of them. He says that he is happy where he is, and rests there until the next year.
Blind Elephant and White Wolf
- Well, the news is not bad, but it is not good either. Both Blind Elephant and White Wolf have only found one new province. But they soldier onwards.
Jan 25 1494!
What the blazes? Never has the Council met so late into the new year. But when it is discovered why, perhaps the Chiefs will understand why it is the best possible news for all involved. I print here a letter from Huron-Who-Charges-With-His-Pants-On-His-Head:
Blows on Jugs! You rascal! How is the young women you…(ruffles the sheets, and clears his throat)… Ahem! Well, let’s skip the pleasantries. Ah yes, here we go…
The natives, known collectively as the “Aztecs”, were fierce warriors,and fought my men.My original force of 11000 + men was whittled down to 3000 men. But, and I must stress this, I convinced almost 14000 of the Aztec Warriors, in thier ignoble defeat, to join me in my exploits! And so, we now have lands so rich in ores, that we never need worry about anything again! I will let people know of my plans soon. Farewell
Well, it seems that if this is not a good enough reason to postpone a Council Start, well, nothing is. Good Job, Huron! Good Job indeed

The Door of the World
The Year starts late this time around, as the conquest of the Aztecs made a Council almost impossible to convene before the war was over. As such, this year starts on the 25 of January. Well, troops are called up in the Capitol, to be sent to the Adventurers at the farthest reaches of known land. I hope they reach the Adventurers in good time. The first thing that each chief does, after leaving the Council, is send out their colonists and traders. Chief of the Mohawk sends his settlers to Bangor, and everyone in Mohawk wishes them the best of luck. The Chief of the Tuscarora sends settlers to Nova Scotia, and everyone knows that any who follow Big Floppy Donkey Dick must be well suited for survival. The Chief of the Oswego sends settlers out, to Santee, despite claims that the natives there are very unsavoury characters. We can only hope the best for the settlers. The Chief of the Shenandoah sends settlers to Savannah, and much is expected of this. As well, Chief of the Irondekoit attempts to increase his hold on Kebec by sending another group of settlers there. Chief of the Chesapeake sends a trader to Bayou, and the Confiscated Colonist, taken from the old Chief of the Onondaga, is sent to Chicoutimi. And now, we can get into the meat of the year…
Troops of Manhattan march for Adirondack, so that they may suppress the tribes there, and ensure the safety of their traders. Elders are appointed in Manhattan, and Fur Collectors are appointed in Tuscarora and Delaware. This is good, as any increase in supplies can only benefit the Confederacy.
Huron and the other Adventurers all send messages via VFCHS, and tell me they shall send word of any major discoveries, but due to the distance, it may be a while before it reaches my eyes. Unfortunate, if only there were a way to communicate instantaneously, it would make my job as chronicler much easier. Well, let it not be said that I, Blows on Jugs, am one to flinch from adversity. I shall note down the goings on, and ensure our nation knows of the history of our peoples…
Feb 19 1494
Word comes from the forces engaged in Adirondack. They have begun battle with the tribes there, and will report when they have victory.
March 25 1494
I receive word from Blind Elephant and White Wolf. It seems they have a bit of bad luck in some strange places. White Wolf writes of a place called Tallahassee, and how the tribes there were hostile from the outset. White Wolf killed many a hostile warrior, losing a few men in the process, and he headed west, following the route that Huron-Who-Charges-With-Pants-On-His-Head had taken. Blind Elephant, perhaps growing sick of tailing White Wolf, heads south, but encounters tragedy for the natives in Seminole. He had reached there, and before even having a chance to speak, the tribes attacked him. He slaughtered them all, but vowed to move on.
Today we also receive word of the various expeditions. There is success in:
Bangor, Chicoutimi, Carolina, Santee, Savannah, Nova Scotia, Bayou and Anticosti. But bad news from Rio Grand, Kebec and Roanoke. Well, there is always next year, no?
April 4 1494
It seems a party has broken off from Huron, a group of Aztec warriors who want to do things their own way. They travel to Tehuacan, and slaughter everyone there. Although it is not condoned by Huron, it is thought that this might be a help for future settlements. We will await the exploits of this group, who call themselves the “Second Wind of Huron”.
May 2 1494
Failure in Adirondack. Could this be the end of Manhattan’s luck? The first time they have failed an attempt at settlement. Much praying to the Great Spirit is done, and hope for next year flows.
May 23- June 5
Well, this “Second Wind of Huron is efficient. They slaughter natives in Campeche, and engage hostile warriors in Yucatan. Meanwhile, Blind Elephant arrives in Everglades, and is attacked without provocation. He wins the battle, and heads west again, following the routes of White Wolf and Huron-Who-Charges-With-His-Pants-On-His-Head.
December 31
Well, we receive no word from any of the Adventurers until this day( actually, it was 2 days ago, but I had to sort it all out…)
It seems that I-Want-You-Tecumseh-This is suffering from severe cold in the provinces along the northern reaches. He complains of a lack of furs, and how his men are dying off so quickly. He is hoping that new settlements may go up there, if only to allow him a place to warm up.
Huron-Who-Charges-With-His-pants-On-His-Head has traveled far. He has passed a place called “Cupica” and heads South still. Where will he end up next? It is anyone’s guess.
Azure of the White Sea, using the ships of the Delaware Tribe, found the lands of the Beothuks, in a province called Wabana. He also laid claim to Isle Royale, and he hopes to soon have some new lands to call his own.
Blind Elephant has met with stiff resistance wherever he went, as not one tribe that he met offered their services, instead, they all attacked Blind Elephant, and so, it is curious what Blind Elephant’s response will be.
White Wolf also met with stiff resistance, and did not have any luck gaining more troops. It seems as though, although the two great Generals f the Confederacy are known for their compassion and fierceness in battle, some tribes must learn this the hard way. Oh well…
And so, yet another Council begins, and word comes that the King himself shall give a very special gift to the Chiefs this year.
[At least those who can make it in ]

1495: Conquest of Paradise
The rush of colonists begins this year. Every Chief and Adventurer has sent out parties to expand the influence of the Haudenosaunee Nation. Soon, it seems as though every known province has some people in it. May openly thank Bear Paw for his wisdom. Word is sent that I-Want-You-Tecumseh-This will wait his settlers in Canapiscau, and hope that a new settlement will provide him a base to survive the wicked cold up North. Huron-Who-Charges-With-His-Pants-On-His-Head rushes forward, ever forward, hoping to find the “Inkas” soon. He itches for a fight. Azure of the White Sea waits patiently in Gander, and readies himself for a great adventure. It is hoped that some good will come his way.
The year has begun!
Jan 16-Feb 1 1495
Well, word reaches me of a great battle between the forces of Chief of the Chesapeake and the natives in Powhatan. It is whispered that the Chesapeake troops offered a peace, then slaughtered the natives in Powhatan. This is understandable, as the settlers from Chesapeake experienced the same thing when the tribes in Powhatan slaughtered the settlement there. A colonist is sent to claim the land, and ensure the ever expanding power of Chesapeake…
March 1 1495
Well, failure dots the news. Failures in : Mobile, Tallahassee, Seminole, Everglades, Penobscot, Bayou, Adirondack, Massachusetts,
But there is success old and new colonies in: Niagara, Wabana, Nova Scotia, Kebec, Biloxi, Catskill, Anticosti, Manicougan
Trading posts in: Placentia, Gander, Roanoke, Matagorda, Yucatan, Tehuacan, all success. All is well, save that Chief of the Mohawks had a little bad luck. How will his other endeavours work out?Several of his colonies did not set. Pity
March 2-5 1495
Word reaches me of failures of some of the Adventurers efforts. Belle Isle and Canapiscau fail, and I-Want-You-Tecumseh-This must return to Anticosti, as it is foolish to stay in winter realms with no winter furs.
As well, word comes from Rio Grande of a new colony.
March 11(?) 1495
Word comes from Huron. He has found the Inkas! He has attacked their nation without provocation, and many openly wonder how such an Adventurer is allowed to reign free. And a most important decision is made. The Council will be held at the beginning of the next year, even if the war is still on-going. Strange news indeed! I shall await word from Huron. And will the other Adventurers make it there in time? Or will Huron gather all the lands for himself?
March 12 1495
Well, this unhappiness at home is equally felt outside our borders. In Tampico and Campeche, failure. Damn!But in Mosquitos, a new colony sets up. Now there is a port on the strange sea there. Good work, Mohawk!
March 17-18 1495
Well, success in Saltillo and Honduras is met with joy, but failure in Guatemala is met with sadness and anger. I still await word from Huron…
April 1 1495
Shaman of the Warriors, Fierce Beaver, brings news of a dream, of great metal tubes filled with fire and smoke. We should examine this as soon as we can, if only we had access to good supplies of metal[Land Tech 3 reached. Heh]
April 1-3 1495
Well, success for Huron, as word reaches these ears that he has captured Guyaquil from the Inkas. And that Cupica is nearing completion as a colony. As well, Powhatan is once again in the hands of Chesapeake.
May 1 1495
Well, there is joy in Nova Scotia, as the tribe there must have been impressed with how well endowed those Tuscarora settlers were(both the men and women). But in Kebec, there is sadness. Mayhaps next year?
June 2(?) 1495
Well, the first of two armies meets Huron on the beaches of Cajamarca. Huron takes care of both armies, defeating a 20 000 strong army and a 3000 strong army.
As well, around this time, a drastic measure is made. War Supplies are called up in every province. This does not sit well with some, but it is for the best[Raised War Taxes]
December 29 1495
Well, it seems that at a little place called Huanco, the might of the Inkas met up with not only Huron, but White Wolf and Blind Elephant as well. And in aange stroke of bad luck, Blind Elephant escaped to a place called Ayacucho, and thence to the Inka Capital, Cuzco! So, it seems, should this land fall, Blind Elephant has a great deal to win. As for Huanco, it was the troops sent by Chief of the Mohawk that eventually won the province for them. So the troops sent as gifts to Huron helped him eliminate the troubles that the Inkas caused. And the Council shall have much to discuss this year…

I don't know where else to post this, I'll delete it once it's taken care of. I asked for colonists, not traders; also, no mention was made of my expedition to Mosquitos.
Sorry, Sharur. My bad. It actually succeeded, Mosquitos is a port city on the Sea there. And the failure is not referring to tps. Your failures were for Colonies. Perhaps this is the misunderstanding?
As soon as this is remedied(I editted the post to better show what I meant), i will delete this post
