I'll talk to Cyber, and see what he can come up with, besides a new spin revolt put down.

The major source of gold in Central America is in Guatemala, with the mountain ranges that produce it and other valuable metals remaining only partially exploited due to regional conflicts and local community pushback. But Nicaragua and Honduras also have their own large reserves. The Spanish were working near alot of the sites of modern mines, but were more interested in agricultural exploitation once the difficulty of mining with limited support from the homeland became apparant.
 
[X]Make him an Aide De Camp: You are in desperate need of an aide. Perhaps he will see himself regain his honor from you.

[X]Towards Paris, and the Siege There: Napoleon has already laid Siege to Paris… with only 45,000 men, against 70,000… You are not going to allow him to kill himself because of his own overconfidence. (Will arrive on October 15th)

This is where the government stuff will be right?

Spain's best case scenario is hoping the war goes on long enough that they can return for the fight. They are so horribly out of position that it's not even funny

Cyber is awake...

Angry... and says that El Dorado does not exist, plus, he wonders why the hell I even did that, when I should have done a revolt stomping roll.

So, those three rolls are for Spanish Army crushing the Revolt in New Spain.

He also said, that... Well, they deserve to get some gold, so they open up a mine in Honduras.

He also says, he wishes to sleep more, so stop bombarding him with messages and stop rolling for memes.

Hmmm, i mean it's pretty simple for them to just sue for peace now that they have new reserves of gold and have managed to settled mess in new world.

We didn't really have a lot , or any confrontation with them so they should get a light peace , plus we are pretty much busy on other fronts ourselves to lose our time in Spain .

Sue for peace…didn't they break the previous peace treaty?
 
I wonder what type of message would be sent if we gave Robespierre a military trial, and had him be executed by firing squad. Would it give the right sort of 'stratocracy' vibes?

In other news, I can imagine that Brian will have an extremely mixed reputation. Since in France, as history is written by the victors, he will be lauded. Napoleon and Therese love the guy, and will ensure all official stuff about him focuses on his positives.

Meanwhile, if Robespierre can get away to another country, he'll write pages and pages about 'The Monstrous Giant', 'The Corsican Ogre', and 'The whore of Avignon'. And in populations that are inclined to believe it, our reputation will be ruined. It will be kind of like the British propaganda efforts about things like the Spanish Inquisition or the German empire, that define public perception in most of the world.

In regards to the 'el dorado' roll, I would suggest to not do meme rolls anymore. The more realistic the quest is, the more enjoyable it becomes. High stakes, high consequences, and realism lead to real victories.

Also I'm feeling pretty iffy about exploding dice. I rather just have more bonuses and malus than mega ultra crits. Not totally sure though.

PS: I rather not fight Spain too much. The Pyrenees is our most defensible border, and their army has bigger problems, so suppressing them isn't a huge deal, and I don't want to lose 300k soldiers in guerrilla wars anywhere.

Its kinda funny that Spain and Russia is getting the most of this war from basically not doing anything against France. They basically declared war and did nothing while taking the British's money.

Cyber said the roll is non canon, and is going to be doing the rolls until he thinks I can control myself for not doing meme rolls.
 
Well now that this is dealt with, here's Marmont's Trait.

The Squire of the Empress: Struck by the words of Hope, of Honor, and Dignity, nearly having it all ripped away in an instant. This man has become struck with a hope that will be seen by you... proving to be worthy to be a Loyal Knight of France (+30 to all combat rolls when placed as a subordinate to you. -20 to all combat rolls when not under your direct command)

Like I said... A Puppy wanting our attention.

I mean when British were offering it was a shame to refuse. I say give them light peace given that they harmed Brittain instead of us.

Well this kinda makes it seem more better to have him under us as the Aide? Pretty good trait though. Seems like he was losing hope but then Therese showed up with wanting to stop a possible fight.

You were goofing around it cool, and it possible that the Spanish went to look for the legendary city, the Gold fever is real and it could happen to an Hildago in charge of the army and instead they found the rebelle and a gold mine that was miss by the conquistador.
