.
we settle at the edge of some mine mountains. our orders are to establish a fort and control the land to our south. we send out a hunter and plant the crops. we live in the barracks while houses are built the 1st year. the fort has a mayor’s office and a tailor and blacksmith from the RH mod.

YEAR 5 and 6
the gathering system has changed.. all the berries that RED had spawn with the flowers are gone. so far no textile crops such as cotton or flax have been collected. i did send the workers to collect food and herbs a few times in the fall. the pine items and some of KID’s and Tandy’s are being collected. most likely we will see an overpowering of roots and onions being collected. we are stockpiling furs and pelts via the pine mod and KID’s guard tower hunters.
it was late summer when the 3 settlers arrived. they will cut trees and gather food east of the fort. this will supply the fort with logs. the fort walls are finished.
it is early autumn of year 6 when the group of 5 settlers arrive. 3 adults with a set of twins.they help cut trees around the fort and gather food before winter. the men have orders to cut marble and the wife will make fur coats. this will give us 2 trade goods.

YEAR 7 and 8
13 settlers arrive.4 couples, a teen, and 4 children. 1 couple builds a coffee house for the fort workers. 2 couples expand the farms.1 brought goats. the other collects honey from bees that pollinate the orchard. the 4th couple built a lighthouse and will be our trade vendors.
while the trade post was being stocked, the bannies worked to clear more land. a barber and bank were added at the fort. these will house more workers. a stable for horses was fenced.

YEAR 9
5 settlers arrived. 1 will tend to chickens and the horse stable. they brought our doctor. 1 will hunt along the east lake. they helped fence a cemetary.
our plan is to sell half the marble that is cut each year. this “money”, a variety of coins, ingets, silver pfenning, and gold guilder, will be stored as insurance to be traded later. the trade post was doubled for this purpose. it will bring in more merchants.
we traded for strawberry seed and pigs.

YEAR 10 REVIEW
population 82, in 22 houses. the bannies have worked hard. the fort walls are complete and it has a bank,news stand, offices for a mayor, doc, map maker, a stable, barber, 2 tailors, RH blacksmith, marble quarry, post office, school, and a coffee house. matterials are being moved and stored for future mines. the trade post is stocked with marble and fur coats. there is more planned for the fort but it is ready to take in more settlers.
i think the different growth stages of the grass instead of the flowers is a good improvement. the gardens help vary our diets which keeps the bannies happy. the happiness graph does show some bumps. it is very subtle but this does seem to slow down the work. health has improved.
goals- i’d like to build 1 castle, fort, or town every decade. . there are 2 big challenges to that. 1 we need to stretch the map to access each zone. 2 we need to produce a lot of many different materials, stone, lumber, iron, and even glass and bricks, as well as some others. i plan to move north to start planting forests. a drawbridge will cross the main river, we need stone and iron from there.

YEAR 10 and 11
6 Canadians showed up at the fort. they have a forest community to our north. they will supply us with logs and lumber.the pine forests will take a few years to grow and produce. the foresters have a lot of trees to replace. the following year 4 more Canadians, a couple with 2 children, were spotted. they are busy planting maple trees.
the fort workers have built a drawbridge over the main river and been busy fencing the pigs and goats in.
we sold 160 marble for 150 pfenning, 4 silver ingots, 660 coins, and 16 gold guilder. we also traded for some flour and peach seeds.

YEAR 20 REVIEW
population grew to 166 bannies in 40 houses. there are 24 students being educated in 2 schools. we now have 4 areas. the start colonial fort, the Canadian’s to bring in logs. the British fort for iron, and the monk castle for stone. we have much work ahead for each area. it was necessary to get these started as we do need the building materials.
the pine and maple forests had time to start producing. the Canadians have started the processing of pine boughs and maple sap. the Brits bring in military supply which is needed to build the fort. they are trading some of the money from the marble. the building supplies will be needed later. they also are making hardtack to feed more fort workers. the monks are using stone as fast as they bring it in.
we’ve made good progress at stockpiling food and firewood. we have pigs and milk cows. we seeds for tomato, strawberry, field berries, roots, sunflowers, blackberry, peaches, and white mulberries. the marble has paid us well.
goals- we need more iron very quickly. the Canadians have more forests to plant. if we can get the stone and iron up, they can build their castle. as the population grows in each area, i would like to build churches.
we expect 3 groups of nomads. 1 to each of the 3 new areas. the fort graduates will expand the farms to support everyone.

YEAR 24 and 25
the colonial fort swapped iron tools to the Brits for thatch. then, they helped build a blacksmith at the British fort. they fenced a cemetary, constructed a small office, and planted another garden. markets were built for all 3 areas to help move supplies.
WOW, 43 citizens arrived. 30 workers with 13 children. we were expecting half as many with a 10% welcome sign. a 3rd of them, 5 couples will head to the Monk’s and build towers for housing. the others move into the fort barracks and help cut trees for both the Monk’s and Brits. the Monk’s built an RK fishing pier and a CC abbey.
the Brits bought more thatch, 200 stone, 100 iron, and 900 logs. we trade for carrots, tomatoes, wild oats, and apple seed. another 500 marble was sold.

YEAR 26 and 27
this is a lot of bannies to move. half of those that moved to the Monks have jobs. while they continue to build workplaces, 5 couples move to Canada to expand the forests. the Monks built a school and church and planted 2 gardens near the abbey. Canada planted another pine and maple forest. they also built a 2nd hunter hut, a trapper, and an herbalist hut.
the last 5 couples will move to the British fort. they planted cucumbers and built a school. a forward post and musket range were constructed. we increase to 10 builders and will leave 5 working fulltime on the Canadian castle. 20 laborers will clear land and move materials.

YEAR 28
so many graduated that we need over 12 houses and 15 workplaces. 8 will move to Canada and plant and work 2 more forests. 1 couple builds a house at the fort and a tiny bakery and butcher. 4 couples begin moving supplies south of the Colonial fort for a mine village. these supplies will be needed for a city farther south.
after they completed the Canadian Castle, the 5 builders started work on the British Fort walls.
we sold another 250 marble. the Brits bought 200 iron.

YEAR 29
after all that work, we need 7 more houses to catch housing up and 12 workplaces. 1 couple moves to the British fort to help move goods for the market and trade post. another couple will assist the main trade posts. a couple will plant an apple orchard in Canada near the north stream. 2 others move to the mine plaza and build a church and school. the plaza was extended to store more goods.
the Canadians are building a cider press and whiskey still. a hospital and a herbailst are almost finsihed. 3 houses are under construction. i pushed the bannies more than they wanted so not all projects were completed. it was agood time to do it at the end of the decade.
the Brits bough 450 firewood. we take 1600 cranberries, 2000 eggs, 200 nutbread, and some bear meat in at the main trade post. we continue selling 250 marble.

YEAR 30 REVIEW
population 312 in 79 houses and 2 barracks. almost doubled in 10 years. there are 5 churches and schools. 2 houses for workers are under construction at the Colonial fort. otherwise the 1st area is complete. the 2nd area, Canada, has its castle and the 3rd, the British fort, is working on building its walls. both these areas will add more bannies and decorations.
the Colonial fort has many shop houses, including a post office and barber. there is a market and a Pilgrim’s Rest tavern. there are 6 hunters at the guard towers. the fort makes both leather and fur coats. it also makes bear steaks and nutbread. the high valued marble is both traded for seed and livestock and sold for flour and money. part of this money supports the British fort. the rest is stored to support the city in the future.
our production of firewood needs to increase. we do have enough food and other supplies.
goals- the bannies need a year to catch up. there is much clean up to be done and construction projects to finish. they’ll work to finish the British fort walls. then, i can decide if we can take in more nomad groups. i want to take time on the Monk Castle to decorate and add a larger stone quarry. hoping i can do a decent job of making that look really nice.
before much work is done for the Monks however, i do want to run a train to extend the map farther east. this will use the coins that we have been selling marble for. the train is a good auto trader to bring in food to support the city and move other goods. the marble quarry has about a 3rd remaining. before it runs out, i want to improve the flow of the trading. we get so many boats with such a mixture of items that we don’t get enough needed goods. hence not enough value is traded out each year and inventories of unneeded goods increases in the barns. for example the building supply trade post at the British fort brings precious minerals and pine items that we have too much of and doesn’t always bring logs and iron or firewood that we do use.
the bannies don’t like working so far away from their homes. to build the train all the way to the east map edge, they will need a train station village to speed up the progress.
