Also, just because you don't have settlers trained in a trade, does not mean they cannot do it, they just cannot do it as effectively. Feel free to take roles within the settlement, and if you want to be the duke, then check to see if everybody else is ok with it.

Lets get imperialism going.

>>10643280
I don't think anyone wants to be the duke.

colony of boatmurdered, located near the mouth of the southern river, don't dismantle the motherfucking ship

>>10643435

better safe than sorry

>>10643453
Yes, name it Boatmurdered.

Put it on the island. Call it Dirkland.

Dismantle the ship. Put it on the river delta. Call it Serenity.

>>10643487

Just a warning, the island has limited room and is mostly a forested area, and would not be able to support any sort of farming.

>>10643453
>>10643469
-1 vote for Boatmurdered. Let's do something original for a fucking change of pace.

>>10643506
>>10643453

so far has the majority, although not for name or ship choice. 4 more minutes and ill decide on your location, name and choice.

>>10643506
This sounds good. Pop it on the right river delta. What's the black terrain?

That kinda looks like Istria and Dalmatia.

>>10643541

its mentioned in the Opening post
>>10643549

Funny you should mention Dalmatia, i was thinking of making that the initial kingdom name, but ive decided to put this on an entirely different world

Take 4 cannon off the ship but don't dismantle it, we'll build a fort on the island's tip near the left river delta and control the seas near our colony on said river delta that way.

>>10643578

Year 458 of our holy mother, January

The duke climbs off the ship first with the marines, and lands upon the ground, calling the colony Serenity. The Captain of the ship refuses to give up his cannons, stating that'd make him easy prey for any privateers. You have six months food supply before its gone.

Oh, also, that wood is enough for two extra buildings, not a total of two buildings total for the colony, allthough you can use it for whatever purposes.

>>10643642
BEGIN CONSTRUCTION.

We will need a palisade and small fort to protect us from savages and other nations' shenanigans. Housing should be built at the same time, WINTER WILL SUCK otherwise.

Well shit, have the farmers to help like 60 settlers to sew some seeds and get some farms set up, and use some of the wood to build a windmill so we don't fucking starve.

>>10643707
Fort idea is good, windmill+grindstone is also good.

>>10643700

If you notice, you already have housing, albiet crampt.

>>10643726

you don't have enough wood for both a windmill and a fort, but you could get a small ring of palisade around the settlement with the wood you have as well as build the windmill

EXTERMINATUS

>>10643776

i chuckled

>>10643776
You're not very good at Exterminatus. I can still see a planet, there.

>>10643767

well people, what will it be? Small fort or Windmill and walls?

>>10643837

the fucking food supply option for fucks sake.

>>10643837
Whorehouse

>>10643726
>>10643707
>windmill

We can grind grain by hand / cow / horse / ox if need be, we need the wood for other things...

Such as the aforementioned palisade.
Holding pens for the livestock.

Distribute the guns - have a few groups check out the area, take a look at the wood in the forests, animals, soil, etc.

Year 458 of our holy mother, February

The ship sets sail after its made sure that the settlement can be set up, the captain promising return within 4-5 months. The farmers set up several farms using all the bags of seed, helping to teach 60 settlers how to farm. In addition, most of the colony helps to work on the building of the walls around it as well as the windmill this month. We now have 5 months supply left, and will be recieving crops in around 6 months, capable of feeding 250 people for 6 months.

>>10643976

Would you like to hand out all 40 guns? And if so, are there any particular professions you'd like to send out, or the basic settler?

>>10644003
Then we'd best be hunting, unless we can expect another ship back by then.

We should consider building a granary.

>>10644074

you lack the wood to do so, the town hall is being used for food storage purposes at the moment.

We should fish to get us enough food until harvest.

>>10644027
Well each marine gets a gun, definitely, and the woodsmen too. The others can go to the farmers, veteran settlers, miners + any random that decides to goes travelling.

We seem to have swords out the wazoo - we'll give one to each man, and instruct them on the basics of their use?

Send the woodsmen to the woods with some commoners (gather information about the areas, snag something to eat maybe, teach them nature skills) and miners to the nearby rocky area (accompanied by a pair of marines or so)

Our fishermen doing anything?
They can start teaching some settlers some fishing!

Fish. We must have Fish.

>>10644089
Lumberjackin' time!

>>10644115
>>10644036
>>10643976

year 458 of our holy mother, March

The marines hand out the rifles too the settlers, with the duke ordering search parties and hunting parties to be undertaken. They search up too 10km from the settlement, and all they find is the remains of a native camp site, probably 2 years old. You're settlers aren't the best of shots at first, but are slowly begining to learn. The duke also has 5 settlers head down to the river to try and net it to get fish, bringing in some fish as well. The people are happy that meat is finally back on the menu. Although sad news today, John MacDonnathon died after being attacked by a wolf.

-1 settler
+25 hunters
+15 scouts
+5 fishers

>>10644162

how many hours a day should be spent on swordplay? Also, you are unable to mine at the moment, due to the lack of ability to transport materials

Now why is it everybody decides to post when im writing up results, but when i'm waiting for you folks to tell them what to do, nobody says a thing.

>>10644224
That one eyed, one armed fool should have known better than to have gone wandering off into the forest without his sword...
Although I suppose it wouldn't have done him much good.

Nevertheless, let this be a lesson to us all - carry your sword with you at all times outside the fort, and be careful in the forest!

>>10644263
>>10644311
Bad timing I suppose. Have them practice for an hour a day, nothing too intensive. Have a service for the man and burn the body near the sea. Work on getting more wood for the granary.

>>10644263
One hour for anyone else other than us. But 8 hours a day for us.

>>10644263
Oh I don't know, we're really only giving them the basics, yeah?
A few 1/2 hour sessions or something would let them defend themselves against any foolhardly wild animals or a savages spear.

How did that little prospecting trip go? Any information about the rocks?

>>10644471
It's been seven or so minutes, calm yourself.

year 458 of our holy mother, april

The royal marines have been teaching each man swordplay for an hour a day at 8am before they go off to their jobs. several woodpits have been built and the lumberbacks have begun to fell the forest, but at a rather slow rate due to low numbers. John MacDonnathon's funeral was today, and he was burned as tradition require in order for his spirit to be released into the embrace of the holy mother. On the bright side, Mrs. John MacDonnathon is now single.

+wood for 1 building every month

>>10644403

Your men only prospected the rocks to your east, and they only contain regular stone.

>>10644471
>>10644488

im posting the same image over and over with little to no changes, i got to make tiny changes that people can hardly notice. Plus, i find myself thinking 'waiting for players'

>>10644471

see what i mean, its been a full 5 minutes without imput from players, most quest threads have a fair few posts in that period. So don't you worry, updates will come as long as i have content.

>>10644501
We need a picture of Mrs. John MacDonnathon.

sage for questfaggotry

>>10644501
Can we get an overview of current operations + numbers?
Also information that our miners got from the rocks?
And information about the woods + fishing grounds?
Her name is John?
Also, chicken coop. And get them to dig a shitpit - we're gonna need that for gunpowder + fertilizer later.

>>10644501
put up a granary. have the miners check the rocky areas for decent ore, send 4 marines to watch them

>>10644680

you got a choice, you can wait for me to find a good picture because im on a new PC, or shes everybodies favorite cra.

>>10644501
Have The Duke chat up Mrs. John MacDonnathon for fun. Get the doctors to make sure everyone gets a health examination every month, we don't want people catching a foreign disease and spreading to the whole colony. Have the miners check out the rocky area for good mining area, if they find none have them assess the stony area to see if we can build a quarry there.

>>10644548
Just regular stone, huh...
Would it be suitable for making a millstone?

Let's send the miners to that rock outcrop (?) near the coast, have them check that out. Same arrangement with the marine escorts.

Mrs. John MacDonnathon?

Just recently I bought my first piece of rental property and have my first tenants. I am completely new to the idea of <a href=http://www.landlordpropertymanagement.net>landlord property management</a>
and was wondering what types of things I should look out for. I have usually done this on abandoned properties and foreclosures. More of a property preservation role.

Thanks!

>>10644809

do you mean the southern rocks?

also, the widow of the dearly departed.

>>10644809
thats a pretty long overland trip... maybe we should make a small boat for getting around the bay/fishing with our wood buildup?

>>10644762
This should suffice.

>>10644860
legalize polygamy, and either build a small boat or start improving those huts to houses... kinda hard to grow big families that are needed for proper colonization in a hut...

>>10644827
Breed the sheep, breed the cattle, breed the poultry.

How do you guys like the sound of a half-monthly 'bonfire' + feast?

>>10644862
>>10644785
>>10644706

year 458 of our holy mother, may.

A chicken coop was built just inside the fort walls, meaning we can now actually properly utilize our chickens now, although the eggs are still a tad expensive. Work is done on a granary within town, capable of holding food for the winter as well as a 6 month siege at our current population. The duke is having some trouble with the widow, considering her husband died only a month ago.

>>10644965
seconded, feasts are good bro. and if we have hops why do we not yet have booze? booze is a leading contributor to population increases!!!

>>10644986
no boat? aww... I still say that would be a good idea, especially if there's decent ore in the southern rock outcropping

>>10644899

oh no, your not that lucky. See above

>>10644965

you're barely scraping by, 'feasts' aren't feasable.

>>10644924

any particular design, or will you leave it up to me?

>>10645028
Take it away.

>>10644987
Heck, that's a great idea.

Should we use some of fruits / grains / roots to brew some alcoholic beverages for use at these feasts?

>>10644986
Damn, Duke's gotta up his game. Our horses are integrated into the workforce right? If they're not start using them to help move around building supplies and plow fields. We have to squeeze out all the labor we can.

>>10644986
lets use around 10 untrained settlers to become woodworkers, have them build some carts and small boats as needed

>>10645055

Final warning, any feasts will use up your food supply even faster, and even with hunting, you wont last til the farm stocks come in.

>>10645028
something that could work to transport ore if the second prospecting mission finds good ore, and could double as a fishing ship. Also, have the woodsmen found any critters with good fur or rare/new breeds of trees that we could trade with our homeland?

>>10645082
then we hold off on the feast until the resupply shows up, our ship comes back to a feast before going on another trip. they spread the story of our bitchin spread back home, and come back with even more settlers.

>>10645028
It's half-monthly, and it's more of a "Oh boy we get to eat something other than twigs and leaves" kind of feast - chocolate for charlie, if you'd like (only not quite so special).
Besides, we have a ship coming in 4 - 5 months, and we have quite a few hunter + fishers (On that note, do those forests / fields have anything worth foraging or cultivating?).

>>10645074
>>10645055
seconding the booze, horse usage and polygamy

year 458 of our holy mother, june

It has been a most productive month for us. We've set up fields for our cattle, sheep and horses to be put aside to their own 'bussiness', in addition to using carts to haul food into town. Several woodsman have been trained up and wood supply has increased.

And even better, our ship has been created! she is capable of moving 20 men in one go. Now you must name her, and i want you folks to roll 1d4 for a random event.

+10 woodsman
+sloop
+cattle and sheep

rolled 1 = 1

>>10645187
-1 on polygamy and horse fucking

rolled 1 = 1

>>10645187
How about the Macdonnathon, in honor of the fallen?

>>10645150

Your people have three meals a day, they have nothing to complain about meal wise. You do not know if there are anything that can be used for food other than animals, for all you know its poisonous!

>>10645200
Who said anything about fucking horses? We're using them as work animals.

rolled 4 = 4

>>10645200
+1 to polygamy and animal breeding. we need more critters, and since their grazers we wont need to burn our own food to feed them

Name our boat the Venture

>>10645200
>>10645216

Well, a 1 should be interesting. also, of course, i was thinking that myself.

>>10645187
"Frontier"

Need to graze that cattle + sheep.
Need shepards + cowboys...

>>10645235

you cant exactly graze them any faster

>>10645218
so none of the plants are familiar? shit. have the woodsman watch the native critters and see what they eat, proceed to check those for edibility... we may find spice or some other good shit!

>IT COULD BE POISONOUS
Aren't woodsmen supposed to be experienced naturalists?

>>10645249
FORCE FEED THE CATTLE!

>>10645290
this gave me a mildly ammusing mental image, thatn you Alpharius!

458 of our holy mother, july

This month has been troubling. while work has been going on as normal, the supply ship is over due, and to make matters worse, after spotting smoke to the south, your scouts have confirmed that there are natives in the area. The Orcs (don't just go think evil straight away, just think native) are around 60 in number, and appear to be mostly men, which usually means they are either on a warpath or are refugees from another warring tribe.

>>10645290
YES

forgot my picture

>>10645315
Orcs... me no like. double the watch

>>10645282

You're in an entirely different continent, 7000km from your home nation.

>>10645315
Right, our men are probably decently trained with swords by now right? Have some of the better swordsman and riflemen come with us to meet the natives. Hopefully we can barter with them and gain supplies to help us hold out until the next ship.

>>10645340
seconded, but dont shoot on sight. if their refugees we may be able to increase our workforce by befriending them. and their knowledge of local flora would be insanely useful

>>10643241
Idc what you call it but set it up along the plains close to water (for fishing) and yes dismantle the ship there might hostile natives.

>>10645249
Ah, I thought they were sitting around in pens. The whole cowboy + shepard thing stands though - get three or four settlers on that?

We have any soap-makers? Lets get that doctor
to establish some basic hygiene procedures so people aren't dying from shit left and right. Maybe he can take on a protege or two, teach them a thing or two about medicine.

See if our woodsmen can make something of that old native camp, and if they can locate any natives. Let it be known that any native sightings / contact should be dealt with very carefully, and reported.

>>10645315
Could be a hunting party, either have scouts follow them or make contact with them, which would be insanley risky. I say scouts follow them!

>>10645430
I second this.
Observation without contact, for the time being.

>>10645366
>>10645430
combination of these two. If the scouts figure their refugees/hunters/not a war part, send in the diplomats. If not, double the watch but only shoot if fired upon

>>10645468
Not to mention, if it is a hunting party it would be safe to assume they know the movements of any any herds of local fauna, that kinda knowledge wouldnt hurt.

year 458 of our holy mother, august

Grand news, our supply ship has arrived! They bring with them new settlers, another marine unit and some supplies. The duke heads off with the entire marine detatchment to meet the natives, as well as a 20 man militia force. The first meeting was nervous for both sides, but everybody is still alive so thats a plus. You've been able to establish that they are a scouting party from the further inland native nation of 'Dothclyde'. which is a loose collection of tribes. Although no incidents have occured, natives have been seen around serenity every now and then. the settlers are slightly worried.

Oh, the harvest just came in, too.

+40 settlers (30 men, 10 women)
+10 marines
+20 muskets
+50 swords
+gunpowder for 500 shots
+stone for 4 buildings.
+Priest of the holy mother
+2 tanners

oh, also, marines dont count towards your total population count. And also, its late here, so when we hit January, im calling it a night.

>>10645342
And yet the presence of wolves, trees, grass and fish would suggest biological systems with at least some degree of similarity.
The analogy here would be that of an auto mechanic working on a completely unfamiliar car.

>>10645523
Dont let the priest near any of the natives, last thing we need to do is make them feel infringed upon.

>>10645576

who said there was wolves in europe.

>>10645523
Well we just got a priest in, let's make a church with some of that stone. Could we use the units required for two builds to make one wall around the town? The last buildings worth of stone I don't have a suggestion for.

>>10645523
up the watch to soothe them, throw a feast before our SHip leaves again... any word from the southern prospecting mission? And use the stone to put up a watchtower at the bend in the river north of our farms

>>10645601
2nding.

>>10645601
Agreed on the wall but dont make the church a high priority, i say we build a watch tower.

Split the stone between a church and a stone fortress within the walls.

Expand the walls. Add watch towers.

Attempt to make a trade agreement of sorts with the natives. Try to find something to trade with them for food. Information perhaps? Skills that we developed and carried overseas with us. Who knows. Trying to get a stable supply of food would be the main goal.

We want to be as friendly terms with them as possible at the beginning. We should wait on enslaving them until we are strong and completely self-reliant instead of fucking it up and attacking them at the beginning.

>>10645592
agreed. did the Orcs express any interest in trading with us? have we found anything valuable to send back home for trading?

>>10645665

they are VERY wary, as the other colonist nations, as well as your own, have been known for being total dicks to them, but they have also worked together with them as well. The scouts are basicly there to see whether or not you're trying to fuck them over, again.

Also, just so you folks know, due to new settlers, the town will expand. So you want me to leave room within the new walls for further expansions? It will cost 3 units of stone.

>>10645601
>>10645659
>>10645660
>>10645610
>church
We haven't even built homes, a granary or a mill yet.

>>10645662
How about giving them some alchoLOL?

>>10645724
no, no stone walls yet, a church, a watchtower at the bend in the river and... something else. DO expand the walls however, and see whats taking the miners so damn long to get back/send the sloop to meet them

>>10645610
FEAAAAAAAAAAAST!
Invite the natives?

>>10645752

um, you have ALL of those.

>>10645724
Leave room for expansion and use the three units of stone.

>>10645724
Do the best we can for the new settlers, and the guy who brought up the wolves reminded me of something... we need domesticated dogs for various tasks around here, anyones else agree?

>>10645819
defianately.

and yea a feast with the natives could be a good idea... make the Priest do the cooking or some shit, just dont let him get into missionary mode

>>10645819
Domesticate bears. Use as cavalry. Win scenario.

We need a U-boat

>>10645819
Apparently we don't know what wolves are, and are incapable of deducing from basic physiology what an animals / plants purpose or edibility might be.

year 458 of the holy mother, September

You welcome the new settlers into serenity, holding a grand feast for the grand time, inviting a delegation from the orcs. Although they seem nervous of everything, they seem less on edge after the feast. The walls are expanded with the help of the settlers with a small market built along with several homes and traders, as well as a watch tower which has a constant garrison of 4 marines and 4 militia men

The supply ship returns back to the kingdom and promises to inform the king of how well the colony is going. The prospectors return on the ship, telling you there is 'iron in them thar hills' and possibly more deeper, but transporting it constantly by the small, glorified row boat isnt feasible.

the priest frowns at all fun things.

>>10645894
Yea okay u try that, i was thinking domesticate the wolves but that would take to long. Have the duke send us watchdogs. And when the circumstances allow we should check out the rocky areas, a stone quarry or some ore wouldnt hurt.

>>10645967

my point is, everything that exists here does not exist in europa, and vice versa. ill be doing many things like that, including even making up animals.

Domesticate wolves for sure. have the woodsmen trap them and get to work domesticating them SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY. One guy per wolf, start off by just him walking up to the cage and dropping food in on a regular basis. when the wolf is waiting for him, have him sit near the cage opposite the food while the solf eats. when the wolf isnt being all protective with the food have him switch sides. move the wolf to a pit/pen area, but set it up so the wolf has to walk into a cage to get fed by dudeguy. keep uping the ante until it can be trusted. rinse, repeat

>>10645982
BEAR
CAVALRY
DO IT

>>10645868
Better yet let's cook and eat the fucking priest.
Last thing we need is a person of significant influence spouting illogical gobbly-de-gook about peace this or smiting that.
Just watch "Zulu" if you need any convincing.

>>10645969
Is that all our stone used? If we can let's try and use some of our lumber to create mining carts and some small rails made using any extra metal we have, maybe burn into our bullet supply if we need to. Once we get a full mining operation going then we can easily make more bullets.

>>10645969
do we have the wood to make a bigger boat? a barge/ferry perhaps? Set up a mining camp, send the priest and a few marines, militia, a woodsman or two, one of the doctors, and some of the single men. Mining camp is a no fun zone, due to its secluded location and dangerous nature. once its established rotate the men who are there, and let them take booze.

>>10646070

the priest isnt like that dumbass, he just wants the Varnians to worship the holy mother as they should be.

>>10646115
We need a stone quarry so stone wont be a factor anymore im pretty sure theres a viable one in those rocky areas. And when the hell do we get working dogs?

>>10646126

The marines suggest using caravans by land which would consume less wood, but just take a day longer, the miners suggest building a larger ship that'd consume around 6 units (you only earn 2 per month and only have 2 right now) and take three months to build.

Do priests in this setting have any powers or are they just like normal priests.

>>10646169
after we tame the wolves. try to get a few males and females so that we can start a breeding pool, and no longer have to risk people taming more of them. Also, make sure the tamer/trainers are strong and tough mother-fuckers, and have decently thick leather cloths for when their working with our dogs, dont want to loose them to a single bite

>>10646234
Taming wolves isn't something you do over night, dumb ass.

There's a reason wolves are still wild.

Domesticated dogs were domesticated over hundreds of years.

>>10646132
Oh yes, it's all peace and love and holy wisdom until they're burning heretics at the stake.

>>10646201
ship. I dont think we should be tying up/risking more men than necessary. wood is more easily replaceable than people, and not all natives are likely to be as amiable as the Orcs we met... can we up our wood production until we have enough for the barge?

>>10646201
Fuck building a ship, that's wildly impractical.
Carts and cows / horses thank you very much.

>>10646252
Pretty much this.

year 458 of the holy mother, october

a mining camp is set up, with a wooden wall being set up and the following being stationed there

10 marines
30 settlers
4 miners
1 doctor
1 priest of the holy mother

the mine is slowly producing iron ore at a rate of half a unit per month currently, and output can be increased with further investment or personal.

The scouts have begun to try and domesticate the local wild dogs, which is meeting mixed success. while the beasts dont meet sentient beings often and have no reason to fear them, that doesn't mean the beast in them doesn't occasionally strike, as old man wilkens found out

+6 wolves, not domesticated
+mining camp
-2 fingers

>>10646252
Yo relax, trying to domesticate the wolves wouldnt hurt. Who knows they might be able to do something that the dogs the duke (hopefully) will send cant.

>>10646202

essentially the order of the holy mother is a pagan like faith, Priests cant go 'POWMOTHERFUCKER' and set orcs and such on fire, but their boost to moral can be great.

>>10646410
id say invest in more woodsmen for a barge and a bridge

>>10646309
a two day trip, with armed guards is more expensive both in work hours, human lives and eventually money in the long run. Build a barge. Do the orcs have iron as well, or steel? can we produce steel? if so get the orcs to like steel, and offer them a portion of the mines ore, which we will convert to steel for them as payment for helping work it. And yea, get going on that there wolf-taming

>>10646443
we're running low on settlers at the moment, with only 50 left, and the farms must also be expanded for future expansion of the colony. both creating the ship and the caravans have risks, but if done right, they can be minimized.

>>10646314
Well mixed sucess witht he wolves is better than nothing, they might not be able to work but they can still be tied up along the wall and will hopefully bark/growl whenever a threat is looming. And btw what can the doctors do with old man wilkens missing fingers?

>>10646454

No, its a one day trip, compared to the ships hour or two. The orcs have iron, and while Steel is more than common in Varina, its impossible for you to make any with your current set up.

We should expand our farming operations somewhat.
Better to have a good food source now than struggle to get one later.

>>10646472
How about those boozy fortnightly gatherings?
(Also soap and shitpits)
Are those cows the kind that make milk or meat?

>>10646495
cut the rest off to even up the hand? we're at about 17th century technology, you cant really do much about lost fingers in this day of age for a commoner.

>>10646501
Well even with a short trip, it still takes a fair amount of time to mine things. Long run the speed boost won't really help except in emergencies.

>>10646528

it depends, right now your colony is focused on breeding your live stock before you start eating them. its up to you.

Can we make our own guns?

Okay, starting to read this. This looks interesting.

OP, be warned though, I am going to murder you if you drop this quest without a warning!

>>10646536
Well i figured we use leather and wood to make a primitive prosthetic, it shouldnt cost much.

>>10646552

you have no smiths, so no. Even then, you'd need a rather advanced smith to create muskets, basic gets you swords and whatnot, plus armor.

>>10646552
I think gun making is to much of a specialized profession for us to be able to do that...

>>10646570

ive already given warning that ill be stopping once the new year tics around so i can get some sleep, although ill be back on in 4-7 hours to continue.

>>10646501
put steel production on the backburner then. once our farms are properly expanded and our barge is finished sacrifice some of our wood production (which we should increase to get the barge out faster) for coal. Another good point about having the barge: it forces the orcs to come to our city to get their steel once we're making it, meaning theyre gonna hit the market as well, which gets US more supplies. if we do a caravan they can just take it straight from the mine, which means less profit.

so split the last 50 unassigned settlers to another 20 to farming (permanant) and 30 to lumberjacking, the 30 switch to barge-building once we have enough wood for that

Year 458 of the holy mother, November

You've expanded your farming operations, and are now capable of supporting 700 people for 6 month periods. In addition, you've planted some hops and will be able to start producing ale for 300 people having a pint daily in about 6 months time.

The wolf taming situation is slowly getting better, and some are responding to names and commands.

+food stocks

>>10646501
>>10646454
> 1 - 2 hours vs 1 day
We must have the finest shipmakers, sailors and/ or rowers in existence, and a mighty efficient pair of docks and dock operators.

>>10646611
sorry, already posted, you've got the spare civies on farming now to support the colony.

>>10646693

just because its fast doesn't mean it boosts the mines output.

>>10646541
and if an unfriendly force attacks the (slow moving) caravan guarded by what the 4 unassigned Marines we have left, not only do we lose the wood for the wagons, and that days ore production. but a considerable percentage of our professional soldiery and a good bit of the colony/mining camps morale would go down the shitter as well. PLUS the caravan idea removes the other trading advantages we would gain from the orcs once we get steel going

oh also folks, roll 1d4

>>10646724

you wont be getting steel output ready for abour a year or 2

1d4

:(

>>10646678
Perhaps we should think about planting textile crops?
Our clothes won't last forever.


I get the feeling we're playing on arcade mode, btw. Can we change the settings to realistic?

>>10646740
Why? Anything significant happening?

>>10646740
by the way, how do i roll? I have forgotten it myself...

>>10646785

you're on arcade mode for two reasons
1. i want to let you guys get a handle of how this works
2. its 4 in the morning and im too tired to think of something complex
>>10646786

every now and then im putting in random events, so roll

rolled 3 = 3

>>10646740

Hoping I'm doing this right...

rolled 1 = 1

>>10646829
Failed, trying again.

>>10646678
now that the larger famrs are established will we be able to switch some labor over to lumber pruduction to get our Barge going? I dont like the idea of our mining caravan getting fucked up and the losses that would lead to. also, is the mine just stockpiling ATM or are they already walking shit back to the city? whats our cities name anyhow?

>>10646724

How exactly do you plan to build and operate a ore-transporting ship (in the absence of a shipbuilder, sailors or a dock) of sufficient size and speed such that it would be more efficient than a caravan?

>>10646678
We need to trade some of that ale. Im pretty sure people back home would enjjoy some of that new world ale. And what is going on with the mining? And how are we down to only 50 settles didnt we have more?

>>10646856

you need the farmers constantly tending the fields.

>>10646866
as in 50 free settlers, alot got transfered into jobs

>>10646888
oh ok i thought we were dying off... and the priest would start rambliing blaming it on someone who obviously did nothing.

>>10646857
we built our sloop, and a barge isnt that complex. I'm assuming the 6 units of lumber covered the necessary dock facilities for it as well. Once again if we can get the orcs on board with the mining operation that would be super

Continue the present state of affairs and make it known that if you work hard enough you will be rewarded.

year 458 of the holy mother, december

Terrible news, we got competitors. The most serene republic of Acra has set up a colony due east of ours, even infringing on our land rights, the dogs! But currently we cannot do anything about it, as from what our scouts have told us the settlement, while only holding 150 settlers, has a grand total of 50 marines and two cannon.

+unrest

>>10646857
Screw the 100% realism. The Powers That Be say that the ship is more efficient, so it is.
I'm voting for ship. Efficiency and safety is a good investment.
Also, have we explored out the island? Those beaches look nice.

>>10646941

no, the dock complex for such an operation would also consume 2 wood.

>>10643241
>>10646964
CONVINCE THE NATIVES TO BLOCKADE THEM, STEAL THERE SUPPLIES BY COVER OF NIGHT FALL

DESTROY THEM

>>10646976
Herp derp, dice in wrong field.
And I was too slow anyway.

>>10646603
I don't mean that, I mean dropping the quest after couple of threads and never coming back to it. At least give a warning if you get tired of it... too many of good quests get dropped just like that.

>>10646964
What do we know of their kingdom? Regardless I propose making a deal with the Orcs and invading their colony. We give them some guns and supplies from the invaded city. They can trust us now that they know we don't want to hurt them. We should convince them that these people will though and that for both our sakes we should move them from the continent now.

>>10646976

um, i never said that the ship was more effecient at any point, i said it was faster is all. You'd probably have it doing nothing 6 out of 7 days.

>>10646678

Can we have a population count again?

>>10646964
Those filthy frog-eating inbred bastards!!!

>>10646989
>>10646964
Calm down good priest. I see no reason why we should be hostile towards our neighbours, seeing as they do us no harm.
If anything, we should negotiate with them, so that we might learn the secrets of building colonies near instantly.

>>10646984
so two more months until we get the barge up then MASSIVE INFLUX OF IRON ORE. I'm gonna suggest we get a basic stone smelter up at the mining camp, and proper forges (also stone since we need wood for the barge) at the main colony. If we're getting border fights have the scouts sneak out in the night with some of the more tamed wolves and torch/raid the other colonies farms. Try to get the orcs to dislike the other colony as well. If they cant eat or safely leave their city they will die off before spring.

>>10646989
Second this.
They're encroaching upon our lands.
Tell the natives that while we are good guys who will trade fairly with them, these guys are known for being asses even back in Europe.
Scout their farmlands for possible raids.
If we can destroy their newly planted crops come spring, we can make life miserable for them.

Does the rocky area east of us hold any deposits?

rolled 4 = 4

>>10646964
We should train some militia to make up for the number.
The cannons are a whole different matter. Hopefully we get reinforcements when the ship returns from the homeland.

>>10646964
Train our men in guerrilla tactics, we wanna sneakily kill everyone and take their shit!

>>10647082
Also i forgot to remove the dice from the email field...

When our ship returns we should set up a blockade

>>10647023
Time efficient, then.
We can use that downtime for other things. Like trade with the natives if they have a coastal settlement.

>>10647066
Yes but do it under cover, let the natives do it since they the lands better then we do. negotiate with the natives to sabotage their land, under cover of night of course.

>>10647003

i got nothing better to do, ill probably keep this running until you guys get bored of it.

>>10647015

The goblin trader republic is one of the richest, but also the smallest in Europa. While Varina has had decent relations with them in the past 100 years, they have been known for trying to expand out as wide as they can in the new world.

>>10647091
>>10647082

This.
Train our men for militia duty and night time raids.
We should also send some diplomats (i.e. spies) to our new neighbors.

Population:129 men, 110 women

20 marines

total: 260

Go at night and burn their fields.

>kings_of_dragon_pass.jpg
its farm raidan time!!!! strike in the night, send the scouts (who should know the area pretty well) with some of the more obedient wolves (preferably not females, as we want a breeding population of them up asap) to hit farms and other exterior/vulnerable buildings, take anything that could be usefull. and yea, get the orcs on our side, offer them better trading with us, promise them steel once we can produce it, and tell them how massively dickish and unfair the other guys act back home

>>10647187
GTFO

>>10647137
If we have decent relations, there is no need to be so hostile right now.

Maybe meet them officially ?

>>10644762
>>10647187

>>10647182
I believe it's December right now, but yeah. Raiding food supplies.

I also second the idea of attempting to get the natives to do it.
Less risk of retribution towards us.

And since they're apparently greedy as fuck anyway, it shouldn't be much of a surprise for them anyway which means even less risk of retribution for us.

Supply the natives, have them raid fields.
Send ambassadors/spies to our neighbors in the meantime to appear as friendly neighbors until we can drive them from our shores!

>>10647195
>loriconwilltrollyou.jpg

DRIVE THE COWS INTO THE WHEAT FIELDS!

>>10647215
Hey, op suggested it himself.

Ok, I agree maybe we shouldn't be going ouiaboo but if we are going to woo anyone let it at least be a young woman in her prime and not some middleaged widow.

WHY ARE WE TRYING TO KILL THEM?
SO FAR ALL THEY'RE DONE IS SET UP A COLONY, AND 'INFRINGED' UPON OUR NEBULOUS CONCEPT OF LAND RIGHTS.

>>10647221
might as well, we already have the good mining spot, the bay, and are more established, also, they were dumb enough to start their colony in winter. Try to keep the orcs from supporting them as competition is still a bad thing right now.

year 459 of the holy mother, January

The Arca colony has expanded slightly, and they have at least 10 cows, 20 pigs and 12 horses. The captain of the marines went to the settlement along with 6 guards. According to the goblins, a land deal was made allowing them to expand this far west, although we obviously have no knowledge of this until our ship returns.

The wolves have now become fully domesticated as well as a wolf can be, and make great watch dogs. you deliverer word to the orcs about these goblins and warn them, although they are just as suspicious of you at this point as well.

Finally, some of the first children are born this year, with a ceremony being thrown for the first true 'serenity' born Varinans.

I like this idea, lets do it

Come on guys, try to be a bit more diplomatic please?

Hold off serious fighting until we know more.
Keep up good relations with natives.
Hog all good resources.

Did we explore the island? Is there anything of value out there? If so, claim that too.

That island would be a great place to build a fort, no?

Alright people, ill be off to bed in ten minutes, i wont be posting anything more until i get up, and ill continue on, current stats.

building tools for 30 workers
35 cows, 3 bulls
53 sheep

25 hunters
15 scouts
4 veteran settlers
15 woodsman
120 farmers
2 blacksmiths
34 miners
7 fishers
1 brewer
1 Duke (leader of the settlement)

14 farms
1 windmill

mining camp

Does the rocky are to the east hold any deposits? Or is it only good for stone?

Now, when i wake up, ill be cranking it up a notch, and chances are each year you'll loose 20 settlers minimum. I could have given you guys ALOT of penalties, so start thinking. Now, before i go. how do you folks think i did?

Good night

you guys wanna archive?

>>10647289
start buttering the orcs up than. we just need to make ourselves look better than those dirty greedy goblin bastards at this point to gain their trust. offer one of our tamed wolf-pup litters, some booze, Iron Ore, some of the goblins guns once we get them off our backs, you know, good stuff.

Also get to work on the docks, we'll start the Barge next month. Since we've got no good reare resources maybe we can go for being kck-ass shipwrights...

>>10647386

I think you did great. This was pretty enjoyable.

>>10647415
Yes.
I can do it if no one else is up to it...

>>10647362
Second that.
Get some exploration teams to that island before the goblins think of that idea too. If they do it first, they can use it to choke off our colony from the sea if/when relations go bad.

For now, we're good neighbors but let's stay prepared for shit to hit the fan.

>>10647389
you did pretty good for runing a quest at 4am local, and I look forward to you cranking it up a notch.

>>10647389
Fine. But I am a bit biased as I love the strategy quest games the most.

Though I can't undestand the setting we are supposed to be playing in. Does it resemble your average fantasy game, with magic, fairies and evil shit like necromancers, demons and such?

What kind of race are we? Humans? How many races are there, what kind of relations they have with each other, etc... etc..

>>10647441
its fine if you do it :D

>>10647389
A little too arcadey for my tastes.
I was expecting "tactical colonial survival simulation, with dysentery and starvation" though, so take that how you will.

>>10647415
Of course!

ok, basicly, there are fantasy races, orcs, elves, dwarfs, halfings, tieflings, humans etc, but no magic. also, if anybody is willing, i could use somebody to help me buff up on the fluff.

>>10647511
No magic? At all? You did say that the priest can do some burning.
Or very low-magic setting (like Lord Quest) ?

>>10647511
I could possibly help 'buff up on the fluff', depends on your timezone in relative to mine and how you contact me and stuff.

Also, archiving.

>>10647511
I'd be happy to make it more gritty and realistic, if you please.

>>10647511
i can probably help with fluff
