This is the page is a sub-thread of the RP MLP Empires. This is where colonial expansion/migration is gonna be planned and executed.

This is the current region map (more regions unlocked as time goes on)



Why colonize?

Each region will offer extra popoulation (later resources)

Fertile (light green) -max 500,000 (max lv iv)
Mild (Dark green)- max 150,000 (max lv iv)
Arid max (grey) - 50,000 (max lv iii)

How to colonize?

Just post the number of the region you wish to colonize (islands can simply be described). In order to not spam this page with numbers, each nation is only going to have one post which it is going to edit for each change.

Colonies are in 4 tiers:

(i) Tiny settlement, population of a few hundred (no real production)
(ii) Small settlement, population of a few thousand and some primary industry (farming, mining, trapping, etc)
(iii) Town, population of tens of thousands, substantial primary and some related secondary industry (mines and smelters, trapping and tanning, etc)
(iv) City, population of hundreds of thousands+, more distant primary industry, huge secondary and some tertiary industry (almost anything) - Tier 4 is currently only available to scientifics.

Once you got 5 or more colonies overseas, that becomes a colonial nation, with its own goverment, subject to the mother nation. It may break free if the mother nation is weak compared to the colony.


Rules

Early Colonization (as time goes on colonization will be faster/ have less to no restrictions)

Rationals, Traditionals and magicals: 1 region at a time. Must be adjacent to your land and must colonize and your entire border before going in deeper into the mainland (no snakes)

. Also, at the moment, not allowed to colonize overseas (yet).
Colonization time:

Fertile -7 days per level
Mild - 5 days per level
Arid - 3 days per level

Scientifics have a boost on early colonization. They can colonize/develop 2 regions at a time and overseas, however it must be in the vicinity of the naion (not below yakyakistan.
Colonization time:

Fertile - 5 days per level
Mild - 3 days per level
Arid -2 days per level

Two nations can colonize the same region, this can be used to block your opponent, however if two nations are on the same region for more than 5 days and neither withdraws, a territorial war will start.

The fleet hasn't sailed yet, but all the preparations in Scapa Flow are to claim and plant a small outpost on:

 

 

The island South of Skergehaven, now named Ascension 'Zenith.'

 

I reckon it should be around five-six weeks for the fleet to get there (a little under four weeks for the vanguard of two fast military steamers, but the fleet as a whole will be travelling more slowly.

@@Lordav,

 

 

So if I want to claim some land, Does it need to be in contact with my border? I'd very much like to claim 22 if possible, if that's the case I mean.

 

And if i claim that, Can I advance my expansion from that point? I'm just a little confused about the rules here, Sorry.

Might end up getting 70 and/or 77, though the other map had some patch of orange...I don't know what that is. As I had said before in an older IC post, it'll take a bit longer due to the area's geography (mountainous, with most of the usable land between a coastal rift valley).

Because this thread doesn't seem to be 'in character' at all, I'm moving it to the OOC forum. If that turns out to be a problem, and this really is meant to be IC and I'm just not recognizing it properly, let me know and I'll put it back.
