===Colonies Land Reform=== | |||
In May 2012 it was announced that land borders on the Colonies would be reshaped in order to adhere more firmly to the conventions of region placement on other islands. New travel options would be implemented, several regions reshaped and many new regions created in service of this goal. Proposed changes went under several iterations and were discussed and refined [http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php/topic,2525 on the forum] before eventually being implemented on 22 August 2012.

Are things happening so fast you don't know where you are anymore? Are you looking for a more relaxed pace of life? Is the stress of it all finally getting to you? Looking for a truly lightweight version of BattleMaster? Looking for a place to deport hated enemies? If the answer is yes to any of these things, then the Colonies is the place for you!
The Colonies are still young and there is very little infrastructure outside of the main cities. There are few roads around for travel, and fewer still are of the continental standard you would expect, making travel slow (there is only one turn a day in the Colonies.) But don't let the bumpy caravan rides fool you! The conflicts here are just as fast and furious as any other. The food is plentiful, as is the gold. The sooner you visit the Colonies, the sooner you'll learn of the true joys in life!
