War

Re: War

So you're saying he mixed regions up with countries? Considering the only evidence of what he meant is what he's written down, i would say not.

Also if he meant regions then his sentence would make no sense "Albion is a continent. All the places in it are regions".
If that were so it wouldn't be a continent. It would be a country. You know what a continent is don't you?

I don't understand what's the concern about that user's post. We were talking about war as in general subject. We can understand that the user wanted to mention something about the regions and distances.

So this is victory. It feels good

However, this has gone far too much off topic. Shouldn't we keep ourselves on the thread's main discussion? I don't see any form of "victory" on getting way off-topic and trying to point something that someone else said though.

Re: War

Not really as the industrial revolution was because of advances in science, paticurally the steam train, mines and factories. How does reaver going to samarkand mean hes causing albions industrial revolution? Theres a strong chance that he will open up trade links between aurora and albion for his own profit. However due to the fact that Thunder and Whisper had to stowaway on a ship to get to albion rather than pay for it and that Garth told Reaver that it was nothing like the indulgent, rich, exotic arabian stereotype, I assume that it won't contribute anything techonologically major(advancements in weapons maybe, but not much else). Trade with Aurora may mean some money added to ablions economy, but remember britain was pretty rich before the industrial revolution, the rising of science gave them a new source of money. Its likely the same thing may happen with Albion.

All im saying is that the relationship that great britian with Africa and India played an important role in the revolution. I agree that science played another important role in it, but it certainly wasnt the only one. If it wasnt for those trade routes alot wouldnt have gotten done historically. Also, reaver DID say he would find the fun bits. I am sure that he most certainly did.

Re: War

Sort of a dictionary reply here, however I feel it is necessary. The industrial revolution began with improving textile manufacture as the the ages old technique of hand spinning was slow, demanding, and unable to meet demand leeding to the invention of the spinning jenny in 1764. The spinning jenny could produce eight times the amount of thread a spinning wheel could leading to an increased use of cotton, wool, and other fiberous materials.

Because of the increased demand for resources British entrepeneurs began finding areas suitable for the growth of cotton the major areas being the American south, Egypt, and India which were slowly being claimed.

With thread being produced cheaply and reliably came improvements in weaving such as the power loom (1784), cotton gin (1794), etc. Britain mainly relied upon the American south for its cotton supply untill the advent of the American Civil War, where upon it turned to its new aquisitions in india after the Sepoi Mutiny of 1857 allowed the British it take the whole of India.

The British Empire was based principally upon their colonies producing raw resources which were shipped to England, refined untill it became a useable product and then exported to the world. The revolution could have taken place much earlier if the machinery was not kept secret by its inventors for their own profit. It also would have expanded much faster however the steam engine was not entirely reliable and metalurgy, and precision machinery were not advanced enough to accomodate there developement.

The Industrial Revolution was both caused and fueled by trade(in raw resources) and science(by advanced machinery). The end

Reaver alone could never cause that much advancement in fifty years as he appears to have no interest in nor expertise in engineering. On a side note his presence alone would cause people to lose their inhibitions as he is that corupting a force.

Wow you really did your research AND took the time to make an organized wall of text. Im impressed.
lol okay so you got me there, I agree that Reaver alone would not have started it. But my theory is that Reaver would have found a way to profit from it and encouraged others to try their luck there (through example mind you... I doubt reaver would be verbally encouraging anyone). therefore causing a foothold in Samarkland for Albion traders....

Re: War

I do agree with Reaver being the type who profits over trade, maybe he started by capturing Aurorian ships then finding he could make more gold using them for shipping and expanding from there. Personally I believe he is probably is too busy converting the Aurorians to hedonism to care much about business as long as money rolls in he should be happy but a company can expand a great deal in fifty years.

Excellent theory.

Re: War

Back to the subject... I hope that there is more then one country to fight/trade with. If Aurora is just one country I will be a little dissapointed. You should be able to conqur other countries or have political marrages and the like. Mabye help fuel civil war in other countries to make it easier to conqur.
