Back in the 17th Century, the Mella Empire sent out a small fleet to the New World to establish a colony there. As it grew as much as it could in these unfriendly regions, however, the Mella Empire in Europe fell to the Prussians, and what remained of the royal family had to settle near the only colonies established by the empire.

(V2.0) The Western Mella Empire had founded Fort Williams on Williams Isle, far from the first set of colonies, as well as building a path from Fort Bighorn straight to Fort Greenspell using available caves, and a dedicated church. However, the construction of a pier at Fort Williams has garnered some controversy due to the isolation of the new area from the mainland.

(V3.0) Within a few years from the building of the Williams Isle pier, another pier was built on the mainland, along with a military base with enlisted soldiers. But as of now, the expansion of Fort Greenspell is troubling farmers occupying those lands. Also at this point, the first member of the Mella royal family in the New World was born.

(V4.0) At this point, the Mella Empire royals had invested in a slavehouse and bought up 12 African slaves, aiming to use them to help build the Mella infrastructure. This culminates in the infamous construction of the Inland Slave Passage, in which they were forced through the harshest climates to build a path toward Fort Bighorn, now renamed Camp Lieutenant. Soon enough, Camp Marksman arises on the Inland Slave Passage, seizing opportunity of the newer path.

(V5.0) Within the following two years, construction of Fort Greenspell has pushed the farmers out, though giving them a newer, larger land on which to farm. As new lands are being developed, though, the royal family has reached maximum capacity, and needs to find a new place in which to reside.

(V6.0) During the next few years, Fort Greenspell heavily expanded, with the Mella Royal Family given a well-guarded land completely separate from the town. While these expansions occurred, the British Empire starts settling on distant islands.

(And yes, I know piers weren't invented until the early 19th Century. You can't expect me to be completely historically accurate, especially since I haven't figured out how to build galleons yet. Besides, you know how hard it is to build in AMPLIFIED mode?)
