It wasn´t easy and unless you´re very lucky or have a much better starting position than average I guess it only works on “mild” but I actually did build the longhouse for my 3 “seafarer” families before winter. Although I needed 3 attempts.
1 attempt; I prefer the tar kiln to make charcoal but it started to make 9 tar from that small amount of firewood that was there and it was winter before I even could produce any charcoal.
2 attempt; instead I built the charcoal pile, could produce some charcoal and even some iron fittings. All building material was there but only 3 fittings delivered to the building site. I thought, now is someone carrying the rest 3 fittings around but they were nowhere to find until I discovered that I´ve only built 1 store and it was completely full with food with no space left for any fittings. Again failure.
3. attempt; this one took long. There were at least 10 “not playable maps”; several with about 10 trees to reach unless you build a bridge or no close water and even if I don´t really intend to go on with this map, I don´t want to kill many of my sheep. Finally, I found one; everything worked out, although it was pretty close because one lady seemed to love these fittings and decided to carry them around for quite some time but in the Jule month, just as the first snow began to fall, the impressive longhouse stood there and everyone could move in.
It´s lovely. I do like it. Thank you. But next time, I guess there will be a goahti for the start.
(The map for my last attempt only had rye and turnips as crops, I thought they always had barley. Weird that they couldn´t plant any, it was all they had in their bags)
