alright so, i think we should find a secondary source of income so we arent dependent on the mine, also, did we get and balloons in the last crisis?

we need some women in this colony. bad.

>>6796226

No, the fucking frogs burnt the one that landed.


We might want to consider putting random booby traps around.

When we last left off Captain Roarke had captured an French mining company explorer and found out that the French were heading to the city supported by American mercenaries. Oh and the sawmill burned down, the cleared area is now 2 acres

Finally the supply convoy arrives tomorrow. ORDERS?

Good stuff. I hope the Frenchman is still alive?

Like mentioned, we need a different source of income untill we have enough imported explosions to make the silver mine run its course.

the french must want something from the city we need to find out what it is

Ok, alot of you guys have asked for dynamite so you will request that from the convoy tmorrow. Also, you can spend 10 RP (you have 20 right now) to get a kooky steampunk invention. your choice.

>>6796245
Don't rebuild the sawmill until after the shipment arrives. If we play this incident off as an overture of aggression from a major foreign power we might get more supplies out of it.

What direction did the balloons arrive from? If we can get a fix on the camp's location we might be better off fortifying from that direction.

>>6796245
we got brick, well and farm supplies, and cannons correct?

cannons on the second last layer, upgrade our farms and irrigation systems using the wells. start making brinks to build your buildings out of. order new trucks and MGs, and balloons/Zeppelins if they are avaliable, tell them about the frech, request more troops

Trade ever bit of silver and the French Prisoner to them.

We need 50 more soldiers, 30 more workers, 10 mercenaries and 10 more professionals. We also need a big shipment of guns , spare parts for our trucks and 4 more machineguns.

>>6796276
GIANT FUCKING ZEPPELIN GUNSHIP!!!!!

>>6796276

Spend 10 to get a Tomb Crawler. An agile armored spider-like troop carrier capable of traversing narrow hallways and equipped with a firing port in each direction, capable of minor excavation.

Ideally, the americans will shit themselves and run away.

Okay thats alot of requests. With the colony arrives 30 rifles (so your back up to 100) 5 mercenary officers from the company, hundred of sandbags and wood for building, and metal sheeting. Also more ammo for the gatlings. You request a general building package and dynamite. Also, do you pay the 10Rp for the steampunk invention?

Kooky steampunk invention?

How about a fucking steam shovel to carve out this jungle into a inpenetrable fortress?

>>6796295
>>6796301
so a steampunk vehicle of debatable type for 10 RP, def a good deal, i in, both ideas sound good

do we get to know what the invention is before we buy?

>>6796308

While it may need not be my excessive spider-thing, I would suggest to fellow players we do spend the 10rp on something that will help us with the city and mining afterwards. It's probably laden with traps, as well as adversaries.

spider vehicle thingy with a bulldozer and flamethrower

You pay the 10 rp, so now all you have is 10rp and they leave a glider launching truck. It is equipped with 3 gliders (with engines), and each glider has a maxim gun built into the plane. Perfect for balloon hunting. The soldier unpack. You might want to build new living space. ORDERS?

>>6796320
im with the zeppelin, aerial recon will help and we can fit it with mg's/ bombs/ cargo carrier

>>6796336
second level on the barracks, make sure to keep the mercs away from winston, stil dont trust him

>>6796343
>>6796320
>>6796319

no, you get any steampunk invention. I have created a table of rolls and you guys rolled the gliders. Its random.

>>6796336

Build the new living space. Construct a shed away from anything flammable for storage of dynamite. Launch one glider immediately and have it begun scouting for the opposing camp, but tell it to return at the first sign of hostile fire.

did winstons scouting mission find a river?

>>6796308
If we don't know what it is, we would rather spend the money in the form of gin and perserved food.

A steam-shovel-bristling with nerve-gas cannons or a pet clockwork mole? Who knows?

build a hangar/shelter for the launcher so they arent obv to the americans

any word about the natives

hay OP, dont wanna backseat DM, but...anything supernatural about this city??

You build additional quarters for the standard grunt soldiers, and an add on to the HQ for the mercs. The Frogs obviously want something from the city. The glider comes back and hands you crudely drawn pictures showing a huge city surrounded by thick jungle. No natives visible from air. the city is build downwards as though it inhabits a great hole. Thats why u couldnt see it from a high spot

>>6796407
ties to the death tribe?

>>6796414
focus on trade and reserch, organize small raiding parties to scout for the frog camp

who knows what lies in a city lost to civilization. remember the Death tribe chose to have the majority of their civilization relatively far away from the city. The natives have been suspiscoisly quite recently. Winston is itching to lead a scouting mission. ORDERS?

bump for WINSTON RAGE

>>6796454

Beat Winston with a thick piece of vine.

Rather than have the men trekk through the city, have them delivered one-by-one by a scout glider into the center of it, at the very bottom of the hole. Should any of them be lost, cease delivering the men. This way we are likely to beat the french to whatever they are after.

>>6796438
Excluding Winston you send small groups of soldiers to scout around, and perform many glider missions, you see no Frog camp, maybe they are under the cover of jungle far away.

If we go to that city we'll need more troops if its in a depression. We really don't want to get caught in the bottom of that thing with people shooting down at us.

>>6796486
Are you sure you want to risk your gliders and your men going into the most dangerous parts of the city?

>>6796494
ignore them for now then, get our expert working on fining other ores in the vicinity

do the scout gliders spot a river?

>>6796515
only one, land him on the outskirts above the city, order him to make a detailed map, note any recurring symbols, have them analyzed by our experts

>>6796516
your experts report that the ground is barren of other ores but quite fertile, great for farming. However you have a very limited knowledge of the farmland and have no contact with natives so it is hard to farm. ORDERS?

We need more Vespene gas

>>6796534
How long do you leave him there? Do you keep any other gliders in the area to keep watch over him?

>>6796539
send a party back to the river banks to attempt to contact friendly tribes

>>6796555
no more than an hour, have another glider observing him from a high orbit

>>6796539

Alright, we'll do this the hard way. Take 25 soldiers, 5 experts, 5 workers, and some dynamite (just in case), and a gun truck to escort them there. Send them to the city; the experts will check for traps, the workers will excavate if need be, and the soldiers will shoot anything that moves.

>>6796560
what is this? i dont even,

i never said that there was a river, convoy shipments and wells have been providing you so far. Actually, your a bit short on food right now. might want to get to that. ORDERS? can i get a confirm on the glider drop?

do not risk a glider use gliders to scout for a river

>>6796577

I say yes for the cautious one-man glider drop. Have some of the workers plant any and all seeds they can find from nearby plants.

Alright, first of all, do we do the truck convoy to the city or do we do the glider drop, i want a confirm x2 either way. Also , you are running short on food. ORDERS?

>>6796577
confirm on the glider drop, start up grain and fruit farms in the inner rings, divert workers from the mine to the farms

>>6796600
we got some seeds last shipment, let us brew some fine british cuisine

>>6796611

> fine british cuisine


Good god no.

>>6796600
glider drop, send a soldier, not a merc, i dont trust the mercs at all

Alright we have a double confirm on the 1 glider drop. The guy is deployed, and is watched over for an hour by the other glider as he sketches the city and goes back. you plant the LAST of the seeds you have confirmed good in the second ring because the first ring is full. With the sawmill there is no more room in second ring. ORDERS?

>>6796631
expand outward, have experts analyze the city data, use seeds from your current crops to seed further feilds, order experts to make drills for mining

>>6796631

Send five soldiers into the jungle to see if there is edible wildlife suitable to hunt. Since Winston is a hunter, send him with them and pray he doesn't somehow start a war.

If the glider results come back positive, showing no army of undead or ancient mayan anti-truck weapon or something, send the aforementioned truck convoy.

The man you send in has been on the ground for little more than 20 minutes when he is ambushed. The other gliders strafe the natives with their maxims but he gets hit by a javelin and dies. They recover his sketch but his glider cannot be airlifted out. You will need to mount an expedition

obv there are no other tribes other than the unfriendly death tribe in this area of the continent, send a party out, away from the city in search of settlements

Once more Into the breach my friends!!

Winston, just back from a hunting expedition, offers to lead the rescue operation. He suggests a convoy supported by air to retrieve the glider.

>>6796668
what? you just said that the guy left unharmed a post earlier??
whatever, only one glider lost, and we arent losing anymore men on this shit city, i think we should destroy nearby native settlements and crush their morale

>>6796668

If/when you mount a truck expedition, take as many soldiers as possible without leaving the camp defended, and keep the gun truck with them as far as possible into the city. While there, attempt to recover the glider. Bring dynamite.

>>6796700
30 soldiers 5 mercs 1 glider and winston, move in quickly and get out quickly, at the same time, burn a native village to the ground as a distraction

>>6796708
no i said that his sketches were recovered, but he got javelined. Godfried mentions that its not British to leave a man behind. You have not located the death tribe settlement yet. ORDERS?

>>6796736
>The guy is deployed, and is watched over for an hour by the other glider as he sketches the city and goes back

>>6796730
you have not located any native settlement yet. You see a French balloon fire a flare over the downed glider. Looks like they want the glider too. you should move fast. ORDERS?

>>6796708

The city could hold untold riches. Aside from that, the natives are afraid of it; if we can bring back idols or artifacts and give them to our troops, the natives might capitulate.

>>6796756
That was describing the plan, not what happened

>>6796757

Shoot down the balloon with a glider, which then supports 40 troops, the gun truck, workers and experts. The convoy will get the man and the glider and return them to safety before proceeding deeper into the city.

can our gliders drop firebombs? if so, expidition of soldiers to retrieve the glider, dont let them go into the city

>>6796761
ok, thanks for clarifying

So...how the fuck are these balloons moving around now?

>>6796768
>>6796768
this plan, but i wouldnt head deeper into the city

>>6796768
Okay, be specific with the troop numbers. Your convoy sounds nice. Winston offers to lead it. You shoot down the balloon which explodes in a satisfying fireball. ORDERS? Your glider reports seeing blue uniforms between the trees.

get the man and glider do not go into the city use 1 glider to scout for the french shoot down thier balloon asap

blast the ballon, send in a gun truck, arm out soldiers with bombs to take out any frenchies who get in our way

Find somebody in our camp who's come down with something unpleasant, highly contagious, and likely to take about 3-4 days to run its course.

Have him bury himself in a pile of some sort of trade good for a day or two.

Ship that trade good to the Death Tribe as a "peace offering".

Wait one week, then go in and start using the piles of corpses as fertilizer.

>>6796813
blue uniforms? 1 gun truck, 30 troops, 5 mercs, no winston

BE SPECIFIC with the troop numbers for the convoy. The only balloon was SHOT DOWN. Your gliders have reported seeing french company troopers moving towards the glider. ORDERS? does winston LEAD the convoy?

>>6796847
DONT SEND TROOPS
have winston follow the frogs back to their camp
we shouldnt sacrifice invaluable data for glider that the french cant even launch

>>6796844
okay thats better. If you bring the truck with the gatlings you will have to have the men move by foot. ORDERS?
also, the truck is really obvious to anyone around.

50 troops 1 truck 3 mercs winston but give secret instructions to men you trust to kill mercs or winston if they try and betray you

no combat, recon, the french need a glider launcher anyways, and they obviously already have data on the city

I want a confirmation vote on either convoy with truck or winston tracker solo?

>>6796863
drop the trunk before you reach the city, troops go all stealth mode and follow the french through the jungle, return with data, do not attack

>>6796879
tracker

>>6796891
get data, dont waste anymore lives

>>6796879

I vote for convoy.

tracker, convoy will only get us killed

>>6796891
Alright your option has been confirmed. 20 rifles led by winston will track the enemy and report back as soon as they have good intel. They will avoid engagement at all costs.

Godspeed to them. ORDERS for the rest of the settlement? your shipment is ready and the convoy is in 3 days. whats the new wishlist?

>>6796922
artillery and mining equipment, automatic weapons?

>>6796922

We need sustainable food. Livestock if possible. Some men, the french are getting aggressive.

Also, how does the truck launch the gliders? Is it pressurized steam, a catapult, or a crossbow arrangement?

>>6796922
seeds

>>6796922
those native guides still available?

>>6796940
Its a pressurized steam catapult that looks like a ballista. keep going with he wishlist people. Also, if you pay 5rp you get a special surprise with the shipment. ORDERS?

>>6796962
no

>>6796977
save the rep.....more gun trucks coming? does britain have tanks?

>>6796977

Lamp oil, empty bottles, and nets. Should the other gliders be lost, we can convert their launching array into a fire-slinging catapult to clear the surrounding jungle and terrify the natives.

tunneling equipment, building materials for a windmill

fuel for the fires

Can we get some camera equipment and small balloons? They used to use (and still do) stuff like that for cheap aerial photography.

flame thrower's and mortar's and farm equipment do we get a choice for one of the 10 rp inventions again?

make up some bullshit discovery to milk more stuff out of your superiors, claim to have found gold in the city

>>6797055
this is a good idea tell them the french are after it and even if it doesnt exist you can say the french already took it

spotlights for our towers

no, no inventions are offered this time. Good wishlist. The convoy arrives, and you trade them the prisoner for 5 RP. You give them your entire silver shipment, and they give you bricks, a mortar, a crate of dynamite, and more gatling ammo. You did not get the suprise as you did not pay for it. Instead you get5 more mercenaries from the company and 20 more workers. I suggest building new shite with the new stuff. Also you need bigger living quarters.

ORDERs?

>>6797088
build a wing off of our colony with accommodations and an armory, i just realized that we dont have one, also, build a smithy

anon cannot let this die!!!!

>>6797088
ugh, no more gun trucks? also, what is winston's progress?

You start work on a third layer with an armory and a barracks both made of sandbags and metal covered in cloth. What do you want to use your bricks for? the sawmill that you never built in the second layer? ORDERS?

position the morter in the middle of your settlement and use a few rounds ranging it in on the edge of the junge build a cover for it so i can be consealed and protected from the air

use bricks to build the armory

>>6797159
i though we already made the sawmill? if not, yes, finish it, and shouldn't we be able to make our own mud bricks since the armory has a foundry?

you dig in the mortar in the first layer, barely squeezing it in. HINT: the king's royal convoys will start to arrive if you finish the road. do you want to finish the sawmill? ORDERS? winston will not be back for about a week

bricks for our most important buildings, use our refined wood from the sawmill for every thing else, let us make this hell look civilized, also, update our traps in the jungle

>>6797181
In order to make a foundry, you have to use bricks which leaves you very low on building materials. You finish the sawmill with bricks. ORDERS?

>>6797189
divide your workers between the sawmill, the road, and the farms, escort the ones on the road with soldiers

i think the road is worth doing what is plan for that also what % of it was finished on the way through

>>6797212
as long as you have a fireplace, mud, and straw, we can make our own bricks, also we have a mine, weed out the weak materials and replace them with brick and stone

>>6797196
You use the last of the bricks to fortify your most important buildings. The hunters renew their traps in the jungle. HINT: the king's royal convoys will start to arrive if you finish the road. ORDERS? Refined wood will soon start to be produced from the mill. Also, you have been seeing alot more death tribe activity recently, and you are understaffed with winston gone. All you have are 80 rifles.

take one of your gatling trucks to the road also it can carry tools causing less bitching and should be able to see off any natives

Streching your military thin, you start escorting workers to work on the roads. At night the native shouting is starting to get ridicilous. you hope winston will be back soon. ORDERS?

Send a few crews of workers out on the road with 20 guards or so. Make sure they're super paranoid.

>>6797248
80 is all we need, we have, what, 6 machine guns? against natives with spears? no problem. 10 soldiers escort the workers on the road, the other 50 are on defense

>>6797265
have your gliders flying around and your guns firing to scare the living shit out of the natives

Also, we might want to get some of our soldiers doing bayonet drills etc. just to make sure they aren't getting too rusty. Teaching a few workers how to operate firearms might be a good idea if we think the goddamn savages wanna zerg rush

>>6797273
All you have are 2 machine guns, 2 gliders. You have 60 men on defense and 20 on the road. Some of the workers have been petitioning to stop working on the road for fear of their lives. The road is 65 percent done. ORDERS?

remind the natives of their place, but be careful with your ammo

>>6797304
send the mercs out on the road to ease their discomfort

We need to put the fear of god in these savages. If we see any, shoot on sight.

drop some molotovs from your gliders at night from the general area of the shouting shold scare the shit out of them

have the guntruck loaded w/ mercs run up and down the road, whip the workers into shape

On the day that you had scheduled to reinforce the workers with mercenaries, they attack. About 200 natives have surrounded the workers and guards who have taken cover in a hole on the side of the road. EMERGENCY ORDERS?

>>6797319
agreed

strafe the shit out of them

>>6797329
gliders swoop and run them back into the wild, pull the mercs back to defense

>>6797329

Glider attack.

strafe, cover the retreat of your workers

As you strafe them, the natives scatter, but they kill 10 workers and 5 soldiers. They also captured 5 soldiers. Crisis over.

>>6797362
bury your dead and return to work, its about 75% done correct?

the workers now refuse to work on the road. 2 days untill Winston gets back. The rifles are begging you to mount a rescue, and you are all out of RUM!!!!! This is bad. ORDERS?

Complete the road. If the workers wanna bitch, tell em it would make it easier to get reinforcements.

tell your head of econ. to get shit done

Alright its late at night and I'm gonna wrap this thread up. Ill post the suptg link and go to bed.

Defend the colony, and wait for winston

We need to know where to fucking go if we're gonna mount a rescue. We should either send out a glider and hope they notice something or wait for whatshisface to get back.

aight, to be continued tmmrw night?

nah, tell your populace that there were no survivors, kill any revenge fantasies

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/6796202/

Gnight guys, great progress today. Could i have something like a review from u guys, cause this is my first quest.

>>6797446
7/10
entertaining, good setting, but some serious logical fallacies, overall, good job
