The time was ripe for new great [[crews]] to emerge. Of all the upstarts, the British Empire was the most successful. Founded in January 2015 by CrazyPirate, its growth skyrocketed and within a couple of weeks the British Empire already counted 20 citizens. | ||
Most of the newly acquired territories were focused around the [[North Sea]], which quickly became the safest area for British citizens to reside. Expansion into other quadrants provided mixed results. Heavy [[pirate]] activity in the east led to many new British colonies being raided, which in turn resulted in frequent skirmishes between buccaneers and British redcoats. In particular a British retaliation raid on pirate-controlled [[Havanna]] led to much bloodshed, the battle was however ultimately lost and the British forces opted to abandon their struggling eastern colonies and instead claim new territories on the far western side of the [[PirateCraft_1|world]]. | Most of the newly acquired territories were focused around the [[North Sea]], which quickly became the safest area for British citizens to reside.

A combination of badly equipped, rowdy new recruits of the British Empire and difficulties collaborating efficiently led to many disastrous skirmishes. The difficulty of running such a big empire was painfully evident. | ||
Many hours of brainstorming and careful planning helped improve British performance on the battlefield. Morale was low, yet the British refused to bow and bit by bit the tide began to turn. The elves joined the British forces in their defence against the 0utlaws and together they managed to ransack one of [[HardTimez]]' bases. | Many hours of brainstorming and careful planning helped improve British performance on the battlefield.
