^^ENGLAND
^^_
__The Age of Expansion coincided with a period of {religious
strife} in England. The Church of England--theoretically a
Protestant denomination but maintaining many Catholic traditions--faced
a series of challenges during the colonial period from would-be
reformers, or {Puritans}. The English monarchy shifted its support
between pro-Catholic and various Protestant factions from generation to
generation, and the English Civil War (1640-49) resulted in the execution
of Charles I and a period of Puritan rule (1649-60) under Oliver Cromwell.
With so much religious conflict at home, the English government had
neither the desire nor the ability to enforce religious conformity in
its colonial possessions. The colonies became havens of
{religious freedom} for groups (e.g. Puritans, Anabaptists, Quakers) who
faced persecution in the Old World.
@NATION0B

^^FRANCE
^^_
__Latecomers to the New World, France established her first
secure American colonies in {Canada} along the St. Lawrence river, where the
harsh northern climate proved more suitable for the {fur trade} than for
large-scale agricultural endeavors.
The French found the
{Great Lakes Indians} to be ideal partners in the fur trade and formed
long-term trading relationships with the Hurons, Algonquins and other
tribes. Though French forts, missions, and trading posts soon dotted
the Great Lakes region, French settlements were generally small enough
to operate in relative {harmony} with the local native population. Although
this relationship was not entirely without incident, the French were often
able to cooperate profitably with the natives. This cooperation occasionally
extended into the military realm.

^^SPAIN

__In 1492, the same year that Columbus discovered America, the Spanish
completed their centuries-long "reconquista" of the
Iberian peninsula from the Muslim Moors. This victory left Spain with
a generation of {military men} spoiling for a new avenue of expansion and
more eager than ever to bring Christianity to the {heathen} at the point
of a sword. The New World and its unsuspecting natives provided exactly
such an opportunity, and the history of the first century of Spanish
expansion in America is the history of the conquest, plunder, and destruction
of countless Native American civilizations. The Spanish were the first
Europeans to encounter the 'Indians,' and the otherwise mighty {Aztec}
and {Inca} empires proved psychologically unprepared for the arrival of an
alien power armed with muskets and thirsty for conquest. Conquistador
{Hernan Cortes} arrived at Veracruz in 1519 with a few hundred men and,
within two years, brought the Aztec Empire to its knees.

__The Protestant Dutch provinces gained their independence from Catholic
Spain during the Age of Expansion. A maritime country of {fishermen}
and {merchants}, the Dutch Netherlands operated large merchant and fishing
fleets in the North Sea and the Baltic. Upon achieving political
independence in the early seventeenth century, this tiny nation found itself
ideally poised to expand its {overseas trade} into lucrative new markets
in the Far East and New World. Unlike their rivals and sometime enemies
the Spanish, French, and English, the Dutch were ruled by their merchant
class. This unique arrangement led them to focus all aspects of state
diplomatic, military, and economic policy around the {interests of trade}.
Their strategy proved quite successful, and the Dutch economy
and merchant fleet expanded so rapidly that the other European powers felt
compelled to take drastic measures against the Dutch in order to prop up
their own less successful enterprises.

Our {%STRING0} carrying a pioneer and a soldier is on the high seas,
Your Excellency. If we navigate to the west ({left arrow}), we'll
probably find land. If we sail to the east ({right arrow}), we can
return to port.
@TUTORIAL2
@width=190
We've found uncharted land, Excellency. To put the colonists ashore,
move the ship toward land and choose {Make Landfall} from the menu.
@TUTORIAL3

The abundance of {%STRING0} in this area makes this a good place to
start our first colony. To begin a colony, Sire, press the '{B}' key.
@TUTORIAL4

On the {Colony Screen}, you can decide what the colonists in this colony
should be doing. Our colonist is currently producing {%STRING0}. He
could, for instance, produce {%STRING1} instead. To change his job,
select him to bring up the {Jobs Menu}, then choose what you want him
to do. You can also drag him to a different square, or into one of the
buildings in the colony. To take a colonist out of a colony, drag him
to the fence (near the water on the colony picture).
@TUTORIAL5
@width=220
Excellency, there are {%STRING1} ready to join our colony on the docks
in {%STRING0} (Europe). If we send our ship there they will gladly
set sail with us and become useful members of our community.
@TUTORIAL6
@width=220
Sire, there are {%NUMBER0} {%STRING0} in {%STRING1}. If we move a ship
into %STRING1, we can pick up this cargo and take it back to %STRING2 in
Europe, where we can sell it for a profit.
@TUTORIAL7
@width=220
%STRING0 is growing rapidly, Your Excellency, and we may want to
consider building a {Stockade} to protect it from harm. To build
something, we must first make one of our colonists a {Lumberjack}
and have him chop {Lumber} in a forested square. Then, we make
a colonist a {Carpenter}, who makes buildings out of the lumber.
Finally, we tell the carpenter what to build. We do this by clicking
on the blue 'Hammer' button at the lower right of the screen. This
shows us what we are currently building, and allows us to change it
if we want.
@TUTORIAL8

This %STRING0 has no specialty profession. If we move him into a
friendly native village, the indians may be willing to teach him a
new skill.
@TUTORIAL9
@width=220
This looks like a good place for a {road}. Our {pioneers} will build
roads in a square if you press the '{R}' key. If we build a road here,
our fur, lumber, ore, and silver production in this square will be
increased. Our units also move faster when they are moving
along a road.
@TUTORIAL10
@width=220
This looks like a good place to {plow} or {clear}. Our {pioneers} will plow
the fields in a square if you press the '{P}' key. Plowing a square
increases its food, tobacco, cotton, and sugar production by one.
Plowing a {forest} square causes the forest to be {cleared}, making room
for more agriculture.
@TUTORIAL11
@width=220
Our ship, a {%STRING0}, is one of our most valuable units. We can use
it to explore the uncharted vastness of the New World, to carry our cargo
home to %STRING1 for sale, and to bring new immigrants from Europe. You
can move the ship normally with the arrow keys. You can also send it to
the port of your choice by pressing the '{G}' key.
@TUTORIAL12

Our ship has arrived in %STRING0, Your Excellency, and is waiting
for cargo! The blue boxes across the bottom of the screen list the
cargo available in our warehouse. To load cargo onto the ship, use
the mouse to drag it from the warehouse into one of the ship's cargo
holds (the small boxes underneath the ship's picture). Once the ship
is loaded, you can return to the main map (press '{ESC}'). Then, on
the ship's next turn, you can send it to Europe by pressing '{G}'.
@TUTORIAL13
@width=220
Our {pioneers} have arrived in the New World, Excellency! They are
ready to look for a good place to build our first colony. Try to look
for a spot where there will be plenty of food and other resources
available. Also, our first colony should be built near the ocean so that
our ships can reach it. Our pioneers are currently equipped
with {100 Tools}, which they can use to clear forests, plow fields,
and build roads. If we want to make more pioneer units later, we will
need either to bring more Tools from Europe or to have our blacksmiths
manufacture them.
@TUTORIAL14
@width=220
Our {soldiers} have two uses. They can be used to attack our
enemies, if we run across any. More importantly, they can be used
to protect our own colonies from harm. Our soldiers are equipped
with {50 Muskets}. If we want to make more soldier units later on, we
will need either to bring more Muskets from Europe or to have our
gunsmiths manufacture them. Our soldiers will also become more powerful
if we equip them with {Horses}.
@TUTORIAL15
@width=220
New colonists have arrived in {%STRING0}, Your Excellency! You can make
them citizens of {%STRING0} by clicking on the colony, and then dragging
the colonists from the "fence" to a field or building.

It is important for every colony to grow enough {food} to feed its
colonists. Each colonist eats {two} units of food per turn. Food is
represented by the "corn" icon; if you are not growing enough food
each turn to feed all of your colonists, some of the corn in the colonist
window will be covered with red "X"'es. To grow more food, turn more of
your colonists into {farmers} or {fishermen}. You can make individual
farmers more productive by having your pioneers {clear} forests and {plow}
fields.

The European Status Screen shows your home port in %STRING0, %STRING1.
As new immigrants arrive, they will line up on the docks to await transport
to the New World. You can recruit new immigrants by pressing the {Recruit}
or {Train} buttons. When ships arrive in the harbor, their cargo can be
sold by dragging it from the cargo holds to the blue warehouses at the bottom
of the screen. Cargo can also be purchased by dragging it from the warehouse
to a ship's holds. In the warehouse boxes, the first number indicates the
{bidding} price which the port will pay for that type of cargo. The second
indicates the {asking} price should you wish to buy that cargo. To send a
ship back to the New World, click on it or drag it into the "Bound for
%STRING2" box.

Cargo is normally purchased in units of 100; when you drag a cargo from
the warehouse to your ship, you are assumed to be loading 100 units. Since
{%STRING0} costs {%NUMBER0$} per unit and we only have {%NUMBER1$} gold,
we cannot afford 100 units. If you want to load or unload less than 100
units of cargo onto a ship, simply hold down the {SHIFT} key while you drag
the cargo with the mouse. You will then be prompted to enter the number
of units you wish to buy.
@TUTORIAL19

{Converts} are natives who for one reason or another have decided to
join you and live in your colonies. Unlike other types of colonist,
converts cannot be educated in new skills. On the other hand, converts
are better than ordinary colonists at farming, planting, fishing, and
mining.

None of the spaces surrounding this square are forested, Your Excellency.
A colony built here will have a hard time getting enough lumber to supply
its carpenters.
Cancel action.
Build colony anyway.
@TUTNOSPACES
@width=220
There are only a few productive squares adjacent to this square,
Your Excellency. A colony built here may have a lower potential
for growth than we hope. Perhaps we should move on to a larger
area?
