MrPotatoTed Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 HancockCPU keeps John Hancock. No gains. (Fun fact: Despite being faction leader four times in a row, Hancock is still obscure.) RandolphCPU keeps Peyton Randolph. Gains Incoherent. Whoops! BooneCPU keeps Daniel Boone. +1 Command, +1 Governing. PaineCPU keeps MA Governor Samuel Adams. +1 Legislative.

MrPotatoTed Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 PinckneyCPU Foreign Committee Chairman John Rutledge names Benjamin Franklin as our first Minister to France -- but Franklin declines the offer, preferring to remain as Governor of Pennsylvania! PinckneyCPU then names BooneCPU scoundrel Thomas Jefferson as our first Minister to France instead! Having nothing else to do with his time, Jefferson will accept the nomination. No flushed out rules yet on how CPU votes on nominees during Continental Congress, so Jefferson is approved! BooneCPU gains 10 points. Thankfully, the fact that Jefferson is controversial does not immediately caused a crisis with France. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, I didn't realize that initially. Later, I realized my mistake and added the alternate states as well. You'll see it in a later post. That said, five states feels like a lot. I might consider proposing a smaller number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other colonies led by royal governors in the the slave states may follow suit. President Thomas Willing will need to respond.Claim Vermont as a Territory: The Republic of Vermont had been claimed by New York, but the Republic preferred independence over being a part of that state. Now, some in the Republic, possibly fearing a takeover by Britain, would accept a US claim on their Republic, only so long as they are eventually made into their own state. President Thomas Willing will need to respond.American Spy Nathan Hale Escapes British Captors: One of our spies, Nathan Hale, managed to elude his captors. This will make Nathan Hale a draftable politician once he turns about 25 years old.

I'm of two minds. Maybe an event, but way later, and low chance or something. Like math it so it's not likely to have another shot to rejoin, but it could happen one out of 10 times if you done screwed up. Or, alternatively, give Vermont another chance if the US takes Canada in 1812. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
