Slave revolt and economy[]
Tone down the torture of the masters and just ya know, kill them and then like cut off their heads or something. I got some mental pictures I didn't want to have, lol. Also, how is the island ridiculously rich if you have to pay the workers? I understand the export of luxury goods, but you need to import food, clothes, and living necessities if your economy is dominated by plantation exports. And if you killed nearly all the Europeans in the revolt, you'd need new craftspeople to make clothes, furniture and trinkets.

All of this actually happened in real life man. Check it out. I wouldn't go out of my way simply to create an implausible empire. Haiti was the richest nation in the Americas prior to the French destruction of the Haitian economy by way of an unfair treaty, numerous civil wars, and wasting of the money. --"Truth fears no questions..." 01:57, August 1, 2012 (UTC)
Yep. It did, I did an research report on Haiti, and it all happen. Plus, he can get crafts people from Britain or Portugal, or even Spain. Just saying. Enclavehunter (talk) 01:59, August 1, 2012 (UTC)
- An exerpt from the history of Haiti: "Prior to the Seven Years' War (1756–63), the economy of Saint-Domingue gradually expanded, with sugar and, later, coffee becoming important export crops. After the war, which disrupted maritime commerce, the colony underwent rapid expansion. In 1767, it exported 72 million pounds of raw sugar and 51 million pounds of refined sugar, one million pounds of indigo, and two million pounds of cotton.[8] Saint-Domingue became known as the "Pearl of the Antilles" – one of the richest colonies in the 18th century French empire. By the 1780s, Saint-Domingue produced about 40 percent of all the sugar and 60 percent of all the coffee consumed in Europe. This single colony, roughly the size of Maryland or Belgium, produced more sugar and coffee than all of Britain's West Indian colonies combined." --"Truth fears no questions..." 02:00, August 1, 2012 (UTC)
