RP is starting to lull a bit, so I'm just going to post this to humor myself and keep peeps updated about stuff that's been happening that is nearing completion.
1: The Qariri forts (one in Lagan, one in Goa, and two or three spread throughout the African colonies) are either all done or nearly so, all of them complete with barracks, training grounds, thick stone walls, and multilevel defenses. Coincidentally and not and all on purpose (wink, wink) the university has also been finished which means a whole lot more natives are going to volunteer for the Qariri military.
2. The defenses at Goa (trenches, scattered walls, foxholes, etc.) are all finished or almost done. These defenses merge with those of Muscovy to form an extensive system of defenses that secure the border. Troops are still coming in and taking up residence in the finished fort. All activity is otherwise completely normal.
3. Construction on the road connecting Arabia with the African colonies is ongoing. We throw more builders at it and give it more resources so that it is completed ASAP. Water caravans are sent Southwest in a (guarded) chain to supply the builders. Speaking of Africa, those Duneshifters I sent off awhile ago may or may not be guarding the construction sight of the road and making sure that no one hinders its progress. The builders claim land as they go.
