THE SPANISH EMPIRE


turn 1 January 1800

​

Spoiler

Charles IV was in the middle of a nightmare. Spain had been disgraced, him dead, the nation's vast imperial holdings.... gone. The naval power that Spain had boasted for some many years was at the bottom of the Mediterranean. Then he sees a glowing apparition before him. It is sitting on a thrown of clouds. It lifts up it's arm, points at the king and utters a single word: "YOU."


He wakes up, breathing heavily and sweating. His wife is awaken as well, and asks what is wrong.


He replies: "I've seen the end of the Empire and only I can stop it!!"


After he has been calmed down, he recounts the dream he had.


His wife is shocked. The dream sounds like a vision to her, and according to the current conditions that the Empire faces that dream may become a reality.


She asks Charles what must he do to advert this disaster?


He says, quietly: "Act like a true king."


She urges him to go back to bed, which he does, and then thinks. After an hour, she class for a servant and makes plans for the King to have a meeting with the Prime Minister on the current affairs of Spain.

(This was just a reason to change Spain's current look on it's affairs, so from now on all my moves as Spain won't be out of Character)

[Lordvader59]

It was a nice afternoon on the Spanish explorers’s mission. they had reached out near the Eel River, and they encounter a group of natives outside a forest. One of the natives asks the soldier to stay out of the forests, because they are haunted by demons. However, the explorers didn’t care about crazy native legends and continued into the forest. At night, they sat around the campfire joking about it when all of a sudden a bunch of screaming black figures flung themselves upon the explorers with a horrible scream. Several men were dragged off into the night, but the survivors stood their ground and repulsed the creatures with heavy musket fire. The fallen creatures, upon closer examination, were native americans in heavy war paint. The men speculate that the men dragged off may be alive and want to mount a rescue.


Losses: Spain: 9 men killed, 10 dragged off, condition unknown


Unknown native american assailants: 20 men killed
