Please can you tell us a bit more about your new world?

How powerful are the other colonies?
What is the ratio of land and sea at the new world?
Are there mostly continents or islands?
And last but not least how powerful are the Dinos? How many of them are there?

Greets

PS: Please tell us furthermore more of the infrastructure of your colony.

Here is a part of the preliminaries wrote by The Rock Doctor

ZitatBACKSTORY

Centuries ago, humanity arrived here.

They had left the homeworld in slow ships, cross the void to expand humanity's footprint in the galaxy.  They left united in their cause, optimistic for their future.  They had left war and political division behind.  They had left environmental degradation behind.

It was not until they arrived here that they understood just how difficult it would be.  The fly-by probes that preceded their arrival had accurately measured the land/water ratio, the atmosphere, and noted the relatively weak magnetic fields around the planet.  What they couldn't observe was the lethality of the planet's animal and plant life. 

The world's shallow seas and ancient continents were teeming with relatively simple, yet highly competitive and evolved food-chains.  The continents were occupied by a nightmarish biosphere in which lethal carnivores preyed upon herbivores, the herbivores defended themselves with natural defences, and the plant life slowly preyed upon both. 

The first human colony attempted to settle a temperate continental land mass, and was an abject failure.  Colonists fell to terrestrial and airborne predators, carnivorous plants, wind-blown fungi, and natural hazards they had forgotten how to deal with.  Within four years, the last human from the first colony had perished.

The colonization effort could not be aborted.  Other ships were on their way, and there was no way for them to turn around or continue on to another star... 

CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS

This sim will employ a basic set of cultural characteristics to facilitate realistic interaction with NPCs – other nations, as well as the player's bureaucracy and population.  When creating his nation, the player selects a value from 0 to 99, with 0 being "least" and 99 being "Most":

Chauvinism:  A quantification of how the culture views others.  It combines fear of the unknown, eagerness for new knowledge, arrogance, caution, etc.  The higher the RC, the less tolerant and eager for relations a culture will be.

Militarism:  A quantification of a culture's aptness to use military force to resolve difficulties.  It combines ferocity, timidity, military tradition, courage, etc.  The higher this is, the more likely the race is to resort to war in a threat situation, and the more willing it is to accept casualties in war.

Determination:  A measure of cultural obstinacy, and how likely it is to persevere in a course of action once adopted.  It may be thought of as stubbornness and may reduce the willingness of the culture's military units to surrender, but should be confused with militancy.

ECONOMICS

Cities

A player nation consists of a number of cities.  At the start of the game, the player determines how many cities there are, where they are, and assigns economic output and an export product to each one.

A city is an arcuate or ring-shaped structure built on the seafloor in coastal water and extending well above sea-level.  The inner curve of the city's arcuate form, or the interior of its ring, offers protected berthing and harbours for shipping.  Think Waterworld's "atoll", only more high tech and several thousand times larger.

A city is a self-contained, sealed environment for the protection of its inhabitants from the planet's virulent biosphere.  A city is largely self-contained, and would consist of large segments of condominium-style housing, office complexes, shopping malls, vertical farms, and industrial facilities.  Cities are variously powered by solar arrays, tidal power generation, geothermal or hydrocarbons.  They produce their own freshwater, extract nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and argon from the air and water, and produce some quantities of biodiesel from the native biosphere. 

Each city generates an exportable product:

-Biodiesel on a larger scale
-Steel
-Consumer goods
-Soil (for terraforming)
...

Actualy, Navalism is nearly stopped, Modos are busy...
So, just Cartaginian & Me imagine the Fleet.
We have no infos about the exact start date (1910-1920...)
We just know that human colonies arrive on the new planet with modern technos but with old Warships plans & the first ships built are very expensive(That's why I start with 500t Gunboats)

We restart in 3910 corresponding to 1910 technos.
Nova Francia & other Communauties are on the new planet since 2000 years.
Big predators on Nova Francia territory were kill early in the installation.
Now, in 3910, it's time to explore & instal colonies on other islands & continents.
But, Nova Francia is not alone...

We have enough people & ressources to built a 500 000t fleet.
Here is my actual building Plan.
