.
after surveying our surroundings, we decide to build the city between the 2 lakes. a small village at the landing point till support farms. the land west of the lake to the river will be designated farmland.
Bannies hunted and fished while the fields were cleared. grapes and potatoes were planted. we even managed to build a trade post in the 1st year. we will need to smelt iron to make tools. EB’s foundry will also smelt copper that can be traded. a townahall was constructed in year 2 and a guest house in year 4 while we worked to stockpile supplies.
in year 5, 6 settlers arrived, 2 couples with 2 children. the town added a school and market. the other couple clears land for a breeding farm. they will breed animals for trade and other settlers to raise. by fall the following year, 8 more arrived, 2 couples, 2 young workers, and 2 children. 1 couple builds a church. the other large family clears land across the stream for an Amish dairy farm.

5 settlers arrived in lare spring. they plan to make maple syrup from maple trees along the stream. the following summer, 11 more settlers arrived, 3 couples with 5 children. 1 couple builds a coffeehouse and doc office. another, grows herbs and flowers. the 3rd couple raises pigs along the lake shore. 7 adults with 4 children were escorted to town from the Landing Fort just before spring of year 13. they extend the farms north to the river. 1 family clears trees for a hay field. they will grow feed for the animals.
the town added a Pilgrim’s Rest tavern, a small play park for the children, and a cemetary.

YEAR 15-20
we have enough supplies to support a CC farm trade post. this will bring in seeds and livestock faster. a fishing pier extends the dock. a new feed store will increase storage and help move the fodder for the farmers. a large wood cutter was needed to increase firewood outputs.
16 settlers, 13 workers with 3 children, came to town on a supply ship. 4 couples move north across the main river. they build cabins and work the forest. 2 foresters, a hunting cabin, and gathering shed were constructed. 2 other couples plant strawberries and tend to walnut and apple trees. the others build shops in town.
we need to restock some supplies and fence another pasture. we still need to trade for a grain seed. soon, we’ll begin to plan the main colonial city.

the city center has a KID’s meeting hall, large CC church, cemetary, and an RK school. a building supply trade post will help bring in more materials. a bakery makes bread from flour supplied by an RK mill. a DS construction yard cuts lumber and makes iron fittings. a CC sawmill cuts firewood. the city has a butcher and a blacksmith. a new row of Angainor’s Elfreth houses has been constructed.

year 45-50
i was sick with a cold for a few weeks during the holidays and stopped playing. i had hoped to finish this map by the new year. i should b able to catch things up by year 50.
the bannies were already busy building a school for the miners and upgrading the stone quarry. more bannies move to the production district. a CC sawmill cuts lumber for the DS mines. this should increase firewood outputs in the city. the laborers work to clear more land. we need 8 more houses and workplaces for roughly 14 bannies. 4 couples will expand the forest area west of the river. a few more couples will be homesteaders and plant gardens. then, we’ll expand the production district to add more trade goods and work on balancing the outputs.
another candle shop helps keep the DS mines supplied. more miners and quarry workers increase our iron ore and stone outputs. a multi-quarry will help increase stones. these will be used to upgrade our city roads. now that we have acquired enough seeds and livestock, the farm trade post can b upgraded to a regular trade post. excess maple sap can be traded. 6 couples graduate each year. we maintain a year and a half food in reserves.
for the next decade, our focus will be to upgrade the city roads and build the city.

YEAR 50-55
we start upgrading the city roads. more sets of Angainor’s houses are constructed. the city makes pickles, ketchup, and can soup. an RK barber and dentist tend to the bannies. the city has jam shops, butchers, and bakeries. 2 churches were build to support the growing population happy.
to support the processors, a CC fuel refinery, a KID iron ore mine, a DS blast furnace, and coke furnace were built at the mine district. EB markets help keep the mine workers supplied. 2 more mines were dug, a RK random and a KID’s coal mine.
we caught up our housing and our workers are busy. the city roads are about half uphraded. we did slow down as we started to use the stones up. wse break even on food and are increasing tool outputs to avoid a shortage.
we will need to expand trading to support the city population. if all goes well, we should have the city close to completion by year 65.

YEAR 55-60
the miners needed another market to help store all the materials and supplies. the city added more houses to the eastern half. to increase the output of glassware, another CC shorehouse digs sand. to increase food, we fish the lake. we do have some fertilizer from the many livestock farms. greenhouses will fill the void between the city and mining town. a KID’s colonial mill will help keep our bakeries supplied with flour.
we took some stone in trade. this was used to continue the city road upgrades. as we worked to increase tools and firewood, we ran short on logs. the city has over 325 bannies living in it. to get to 500, we’ll need about 35 more houses, more workplaces will be needed as well. hence, we bgin work to clear more land to stretch the city to the east. we will need more food and supplies to support it.
the plan is to dig more mines and haul coal and iron out by train. the train will haul food to the city. we may need more forests to bring in logs. we’ll slow down long enough to restock supplies and clear more land.

YEAR 60-65
the mining or production town has grown. more markets were needed to keep the workers supplied. rail cars move iron and coal to the furnaces and the train cars. we use all 3 train mods. the Ds hauls the ores. the RK will move the iron and some excess ale and leather. KID’s cars haul coal.
south of the train yard, land is zoned for more forests. 2 KID foresters, a gatherer shed, hunter, and herbalist shed were built. these are handy with the storage option. pine storage barns increase the storage capacity. the workers built RED’s Plymouth houses. the forest village has a large school, FO chapel, and a RH market.
about 50 children skipped school to help at the mines and forests. we have slowed down a bit, but are making progress.

YEAR 65-70
we need to make several adjustments. increase pottery and glassware outputs. the DS tin isn’t working for the CC tin soup. we have enough fertilizer to support more greenhouses. another coal mine was dug to supply the train. an EB sand pit will help increase the glass and pottery outputs. then we’ll zone farms east of the city.

the farm village is growing. it has a school, church, and cemetary. it has 2 creameries to process the milk from the 2 pastures. the town makes its own toolls and clothing.
we needed lamp oil for the mines. a press and a kiln were built to handle that task.
