Isle of Kent is a medium island located in the Gull Archipelago. There are five known routes from the island: Admiral Island, Bryher Island, Wensleydale, Cromwell Island, and an inter-archipelago route to Scurvy Reef in the Osprey Archipelago. Isle of Kent was the first island on the Sage Ocean to be opened for blockades.

Natural Resources

This island spawns sugar cane and wood. They can be bid on at the palace or the commodities market.

Buildings

The building theme on the Isle of Kent is 'Garden of England'. The island, being a medium, is currently at the maximum number of buildings allowed, with all infrastructure buildings in place. There are no more build options available to the governor, as all permissible buildings have been upgraded to their maximum respective capacities.

History

On the rock spire in the west cane and tree forest, an inscription reads, "This island were fashioned by Yngvild."

Isle of Kent is probably named for the early English settlement on present-day Kent Island, Maryland in the United States.

Blockades

Kent I: 2005-11-05: The Light Brigade defeated Shadow Company and Mushroom Kingdom in a three round sinking blockade. Shadow Company did not seriously contend after the first round.

Kent II: 2005-11-12: Go with the Flow defeated Mushroom Kingdom in a three round sinking blockade. Mushroom Kingdom did not seriously contend after the second round, and The Light Brigade did not contend at all.

Kent III: 2005-11-26: Go with the Flow successfully defended the island against Fear The Unknown. Fear The Unknown was made up largely of previous members of Mushroom Kingdom which disbanded shortly after Kent II. Fear the Unknown did not seriously contend this blockade at any stage, fielding no more than three ships at a time. It was widely speculated that the blockade of Kent (its third in four weeks) was simply a diversion to lure Go with the Flow away from assisting its ally, The Light Brigade, at their blockade of Spaniel.
