Ascension Address: The Inland Sea
To be the Captain of a ship at sea is to be the undisputed sovereign of a nation. You have territory, which must be carefully stewarded is she is to continue to support your lives and welfare; you have borders, outside which lies the enemy, cold and hostile.
And above all else, you have people. Mark my words, to be the Captain of a ship at sea is more than mere rulership. Any slick-toothed clown can be a President. To be a Captain, you need more. It takes the fortitude of a priest, the discipline of a drill sergeant, the clear vision of a strategist, and the iron-clad certainty of the undisputed King, appointed by the divine right of God.
The sea is our destiny. It connects us more surely than the treachery of roads. We will build great ships, and we will need great Captains. That is how our culture will flourish.
- President Tarquin O’Seele, Regional Capital, 12 May 32xx
Throughout the dynastic ruleset, change Drafter to City and change Supervisor to Capital. Set the gamestate tracking page to the Inland Sea page of the wiki. Keep the Revisions Allowed Building Block and add Reinitialisation and Precondition Unidling.
The sketch set out in the Container Draft wiki page gives a rough idea of where this is headed, but note that it is non-binding on either me or on players; I’m keen to explore the space.
Provocateur, because I’ve tried other styles and they never stick.
Libertarian.
Powerhouse, although I don’t see this being a massively Emperor-heavy dynasty.
Scam-neutral.
Oblivious.
Wildcard.
Timekeeper. I am keen that there is no virtue to being online at the exact minute a boat comes in - I’d be happy to consider proposals that allow actions to be prepared and triggered based on predictable occurances.
