Clue #2 to the Secret Project


Just like the last image. If you know, do not say anything. You are, however, allowed to guess in this thread.

It looks like the Confederate plans from the civil war.

Could also be the Nazi-German tactics from WWII.

What the hell is the SECRET PROJECT

"Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."

I have a good idea what this is about, in fact, I daresay I KNOW, but won't spill the beans.

Unorganized territory, Nebraska territory, Kansas terrority, according to the map looks like its around the civil war era. I also remember him asking for a map of virginia, mid 1800s.

And with all the clues and hype over this scenario, this guy better not pull a NickC or I will be pissed...

Paul, that is not correct. However, where can I find these books in which I have heard so much about?

Ah, I had to make my map by myself. Who, however, said that was for this scenario?

Yes, Archangel, the territories are a dead givaway of the time period. Good thinking.

Migrations to Canada and a united Virginia. I bet I know! Does this have to do something with someone whose initials are/were J.B. ???

The confederate way to victory!

Or maybe a secret plan to take over the USA by crazy Cubans...

Keep guessing. More clues to come.

Yes, Fast_Eddie, Mao, and Captain Nemo know. They have been sworn to secrecy, so do not try to bribe them or any thing like that.

So, Polaris, you are working on the second part of your 'Axx' series now? How about the first part?

I have an idea for a period before the colonization time, would you care to think about putting it as a prelude to your series?

Idea borrowed from an SNES game, 'the new horizon'.
Civs: Britain, Holland, Genoa (Italy), Spain, Portugees, Ottoman Empire.
Unit: all kinds of ships which can carry either air or land units; a spy unit (the hero, uniq unit); caravans; 0-move land units for defense; very expensive fighter and marine units with range 1 (appears via events for you to bribe). Ships have submarine flags so you can only bribe or use fighters/marines to attack cities. However you can use ships to attack other ships, especially the pirates (barbarian ships).
House Rule: your spy can only act from ships, he cannot take land route to anywhere.
It will be an interesting scenario, with most of the activity concentrated on bribing and trading. Some quests on adventure/discovery as well.

No, just the first part. The 2nd part will be the Industrial Revolution, but that is only if the first part works out.

I have done some art for my colonization scenario, and the map will be one featured on Mercator's website.

It will be very excellent.

Though this scenario has nothing to do with that.

Mao, I`ll let you have a generous trade discount on Typhoo tea (two thumbs fresh) for the Coffee Shop if you tell me what the scret project is.

They will not tell, Paul; let us hope.

And I'd prefer you act like everyone else by finding out what the scenario is. Eddie & Mao will be playtesting it and helping me out with a few things, which is why they known in the first place.

Keep guessing.

It's the underground railroad because those patches represent slave populations, the darker, the more dense. The arrows are equivalent routes they took to freedom. Notice how many go to Canada. I've seen this map before.

Well, if it's not the UR, then how about the shipment of Southern-based goods (cotton, tobacco, indigo, etc.) to the Northern and Canadian ports of entry? I see most of the arrows pointing to ports in the Northeast and most of the cities along the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence seaway. The convergence of arrows would simply indicate the feeding into major post and pike roads, as well as the river (steam) routes. But I am curious as to the one-way flow from the South to the North where many goods also flowed the other way. So I really don't know what this scenario would be.
