If you're going to be doing the whole pirate thing, you'd almost certainly run afoul of me at some point. The Navy is very much my Senior Service and all (being an island nation) so we'd take a dim view to piracy. As in sending down ships and Marines (both my own, and if Canissia aids me as well), not paying you off.
San Dorado gave up the pirate schtick in the late 19th century, just before anyone could be bothered enough to send another army to finish Makaros' job. These days we rent out the occasional mercenary and perhaps occasionally a Navy ship, but that's all legit PMC stuff, not piracy. Too many guys with bigger sticks than we to keep looting merchants, really -- the Board feels there's no profit in getting shelled by you, or PeZook, or anybody else .

It seems we're settling with the name of Frequesue (courtesy of Raj) for our Africa-analogue. That's fine with me; on such a continent I'd like to be somewhere reasonably close to the equator, and a pretty far distance removed from the Old Continent (and Shroom). San Dorado was a remote trading outpost after all.

Uh, because there's no point in you establishing a colony a stone's throw away from your shores, and because I get the feeling I might be better off being as far removed from PeZook as possible .
Actually, if San Dorado is in a strategic location, the Byzantine Empire might be interested in taking an interest in the location. Of course, in exchange for some protection and trading rights and some investment, we'd like some annual tribute.

I wonder if Yenchin's Mangka's history can tie in with Skimmer's Japistan. If Beowulf goes for another Tian Xia with another Huang Di Beowulf, it might be cool too. Japan analogues! Plus Shepistan and the Old Dominion being a Pakistan-India deal, we have our pseudo-Asia!

A generous offer, but I'm afraid we'll have to pass . We'll take our chances with the world instead. Your merchants and your navy are free to visit La Palma for trade, shore leave and resupply of course, but if you want a slice of San Dorado you're gonna have to pay for it, just like everybody else .

With that, can I, say, shave off 103 points from my Navy and redirect those resources into my Army and Air force?

Except the second round leads to allied victory because Stas gets involved, the Empire turns socialist, Khitan has a regime change and the FUN is created some 20-30 years after.
This is a great idea.

I have a quick question. I want to make my OOB by using the spreadsheat that Coyote made so I need some help. The 210pts that Duchies get, is it like 210 for the Navy/210 for the Air Force and 210 for the Army or is it 210pts overall?
I'm confused.
Also: Can my guys be the inventors of the Aeroplane?

I set it up as 210 each, but if it is 210 overall, then I have to redesign my Navy.

I am going to wait until Coyote or Beowulf give me an answer. But I think 210pts overall is too little.

In WW1, maybe the PeZookians hear that the Shadows were going to deploy "cavalry" and thus sent their own horsemen...
...to take on the Shadow Panzers.
(Then the old-fashioned Shadow Panzers break down in the mud, and the PeZookian horsemen just leave them there and gallop elsewhere.)

That would work...except for the part where my people are not completely incompetent.
And, of course, economically PeZookia is on par with the Shadow Empire, which makes any attempt at historical parallelism go out the window. Or, at least, work more like Germany vs France rather than Germany vs. Poland

Actually, contrary to popular history, by the time we rush to build our prestige weapons, we'd be allies. So we are just building to deal with potential aggressors, like Shadow Empire.
