YEAR 9
we need 1 more house for the original starting children before the school is built.they have been pairing up well.this nomad couple will run the barbershop and be our teacher.the teen is sent to help the forester cut more logs.this has to be timed right. the house has to be completed as the male turns 10 and the school can not open til late in the 10th year after the last girl turns 10.
even thou we timed the house construction,a female moved in. the start bannies should still pair up. will wait for the younger start children to age up before enabling the school.

YEAR 8
this couple will map the area and make map books.they also build a CC parish church. we have to pick and choose what to build to save our iron.a playground is set for the children. soon a school will be built beside it.that will be needed before we can work on our iron.this little village is certainly turning into a nice town.

YEAR 7
the trade district will grow over time.as more goods are produced to trade, more trading posts can be built.more trade posts will increase the number of merchant boats that arrive each year.with those ,more storage will also be needed.for now, the builders are laying out the roads.
this nomad couple will build a cottage farm closer to the DS nomad bridge.they broght some chickens with them and some seeds to plant 2 farmyards.1 to increase our oat outputs and the other to give potatoes along with some carrots,sweat potatoes,and corn as well as the chesnuts and berries that they planted near.
the plan is to zone a production area south of this farm area between the lake and river.this would get us some iron and more trade goods.

YEAR 6
the nomad couple this year will build a doctor office and live in a post office. a cemetary is zoned behind the doc’s office.so far only 1 of the 5 nomad groups lives in a house. the others are in “shop houses”.
the original bannies add another house and send the young worker to fishing.the pace is better now than the 1st few years. with the extra laborers,we were able to get more done.the plan is working well for now.soon, we will need to increase the food production.

YEAR 5
we work to double our food storage and add a trade good. we will make linen clothing from flax to trade.the next couple builds a “candle shop”house from last years Christmas mod. it is a residence and will not produce candles itself.they move supplies to the trade post and a newly built market.

YEAR 4
it may look slow but the bannies have been busy since day 1.normally, i’d build some workplaces and take time to clear land before nomads arrived.knowing they were coming sooner and steadier,we needed that forest built early.still, i have had to rotate an extra builder or 2 to speed construction.
just as the next another couple arrive in mid-summer, an RK blacksmith is completed.this blacksmith can smelt iron from the iron ore. however, there is amod order issue.this is 1 of those 3 way conflicts mention now and then. this smith is affected by the blacksmith tool mod. that mod has to be moved in the mod order when using the DS INDUSTRY mod. since that mod is not installed,the blacksmith tool mod is out of place. this also limits the tools the RK blacksmith can make.for this map, we will need to find another way to acquire iron.for now the smith will make rough iron ore tools.
the 3rd nomad couple will work the blacksmith and a nearby tailor.now we can stockpile supplies for more nomads. as the original children become teenagers, we build a house near the forest.

YEAR 3
2 more nomads arrived in late spring. the builder is already busy constructing barns for the trading district. a storehouse and wood store that will move logs and firewood are being built.a small trading post and a Nordic wharehouse will increase the storage capacity.
with this map,i want to show a mod concept that KIDD has worked at expanding. the idea is to use shops as houses for the bannies. these bring your towns to life. they look like town shops but function as houses.this nomad couple builds a coffeehouse beside the land claims office from the wild west mod set.both are residences.at the moment i have 4 mods with this concept,half of which i have not had a chance to build.

YEAR 2
just as the farmers went to the fields in spring,the 1st nomads arrived. this is only a couple.they come from the far northwest corner of the map. a DS bridge has to be debug added for them to get to town. even before they arrive, the builders will begin construction of a lands claim house for them.the couple arrive just in time to move in. they are needed to help the laborers cut more trees. a lighthouse office is built to keep records and oversee our progress. the builder had time to work on a road as the laborers cleared land and hauled more supplies.
our plan is to establish a trading district between the 2 lakes before working to the east.

the 2% nomad sign was placed. 2 fields are cleared for the 2 fruit seeds. we will start these bannies with smaller houses for 4.nomads will build larger houses for 5.even thou this start does not have livestock, we do have goats.the bannies will use a farmyard to start stockpiling tools and clothing. soon as the crops are planted,we start on an RK forest set with hunting and gathering huts..we will need the all the logs we can get.to invrease the log output,2 pine storage sheds are built on opposite sides of the forest.
in early fall, the laborers have time to gather firewood and food.with 2 builders,we did manage to get 5 houses built by spring.the forest is worked,2 crops,and a farmyard. the farmyard produced 12 coats and 10 tools as well as some milk and oats.
