ellow sends the dead remains of the last expedition. The message to the King reads, "Warning: Stay away! Send another troop and I will mock, harrass, and kill them, then come and drag your dead carcass through the streets of your Kingdom!"

our King doesn't take to brutal threats and has chosen you, his best, to defend His honor. But, he can only spare 3 tiny armed ships, a little food and materials, and a measly 500 gold coins.

reliminary reports are disturbing: Pirates abound and their island is covered in cannons. Your lone enemy owns the other large island and it is heavily fortified. He has built a Fortress anticipating the King's pride and your arrival. All the other islands are small with limited resources, and many of these are controlled by Yellow as well. As others fail you can't.

espite the nearly insurmountable odds, you do receive a report of a hole in Yellow's armor: an inability (despite adequate resources) to produce enough food for his people.

our assignments are:
1. Take two small disguised ships full of food, befriend Yellow for a short time by using them as trade ships to get a foothold in the region.
2. Build 2 cities to maintain and grow in strength.
3. Rise up and completely Steal your enemy's people and all islands.
4. Prove your enemy's incompetence and win over the hearts of his former subjects with a city over twice the previous size, a population of 9,000 with 5,000 reaching Aristocratic status and 5,000 coins in profit.

ou'll have to work efficiently to grow fast to overtake your enemy before you run out of resources or he destroys you First, which he most certainly will do the moment he spots your deception. You will also have to play the slave to the pirates to keep from being destroyed before you get started well or creativity will rule. All eyes are on you. The world calls you and your King foolish. Don't fail if you value your head and that of His Majesty ... Against all odds, it can be done.
