back at the fort, we have recieved a letter from overseas. the Queen says the fort is getting too crowded and more settlers are being sent. please move settlers out every year was ordered by QUEEN NILLA. perhaps this is what really led to the WAR.

this map was to be a farming map anyhow. i did want to look at some newer mods as well.

these are NOT vanilla bannies. they are educated before making their voyage across the ocean from Europe. then they are debriefed at the Landing Fort.their education system is similar to that of the North mod via a patch by KIDD. they function under a prior version of the propertime mod,1-1 year will graduate and move out at 16.they also have an Amish side to them. the Amish side allows these bannies to make tools,clothing,or cut firewood as they tend their gardens. these bannies also carry some seeds and livestock with them from the fort.,and the fort treaches them safety.these nomads do not just waunder out of the forest with no skills.

Celestover-553632610,valley,very large,fair climate,no disasters,medium start strawberry,watermelon,and fig seeds which we won’t use.
10 adults and 8 children

mod order-123 mods,totally reset list. replacing the CC NFwith the addon mods saved about half a gig in memory.toolbox is full of toys to keep the bannies busy. there are a few mods in here that i have not tested yet.

GOAL- accept every group of nomads every year. this is a suicide mission. do not try this at home.a 2% welcome sign will be planted at the beginning of this map to bring in the nomads.build a school by year 10 and educate the bannies born on the map.yes it is a small % of nomads.

prediction- by the time the children of the map have children and they graduate,this will become too hectic to keep supplies and construction going.
1st new borns graduate at 16,have children and those graduate starting at year 32. at this point,there will be as many graduates needing houses as nomads arriving on the map. added note- i started this before NILLA’s test. am very surprised by how much population she was able to get to

YEAR 19

the bannies are busy with clean up so this will be a good year for them to get caught up.they have been clearing rocks and trees from the villages. the CC tribe built a market and finished more huts.

we did have a very bad food production year. even thou more food workers were added to increase the outputs, we were producing less than used and less than the year before. before fall, the bannies were sent to scavenge any food they could. it is strange since there are no crop fields. all food is hunting and gathering and some KID farmyard gardens.

the distance did slow construction work for the 2 south villages.clearing land slowed down. gave the bannies time to get caught up. it would have been nice if the lakes were closer together.that is the way the map spawned.
in normal maps where i build several towns on 1 map, i try to leave laborers scattered between them.like i might use 4 workers say in a forest. i’ll build an extra house so there are 2 more free workers.my theory is these laborers drop items off as they go home to eat or get warm. this helps move firewood,clothing,tools,and other supplies around.this way the distance to the work site is the same for the laborers,or at least it averages out that way.

i have plans for your nomad challenge coming soon.

YEAR 14

the woodland Indians built a 2nd fire tent to cure more tobacco.they also planted more of the 3 sister crops. together the 3 tribes have cleared many rocks from the villages.the thatch Indians cut more of the grass to build 2 more huts.

since i restricted these bannies not to use iron,there are a lot of things they can not build.

here on this map it is quite easy to take nomads. the houses are small and with other build materials we have more logs than needed.plus we are storing food for later. this map, i let the mini townhall bring the group,then place a welcome sign to bring another group for the tribe.delete the sign after. this staggers the nomads enough that the bannies have time to catch up between groups.this works so each village is about 30 or so bannies.

you are correct that if you try to bring nomads every year,you will run into troubles. you need time to build houses as students graduate. and time also to stock supplies.in the beginning it does work well. you have extra supplies and more food is produced than needed. i am using the proper time mod to control the ages,a 1-1 year age mod. youngsters help store more supplies.after a few years,i build the school and the bannies pair up and move out at 16 yrs of age.

i actually prefer the mini townhall’s timing for bringing nomads. it staggers them bout every 3 or 4 years. i see that as more realistic. it took time to travel across the ocean to the landing forts. we know they had storms at sea.even if a group was scheduled to arrive,they could have ran into troubles. this stagger of a few years allows time for the town to move out the graduates and recover resources. makes the game much smoother than if they came every year.

also,the size of the nomad group gets larger over time. the 1st group might be 2-4 bannies. but each year as more are born,the group is a % of the total population. in time that becomes 20 nomads, then goes up even more. accepting every nomad group would not work for very long. will become quite hectic in just a few years. depending on age mod used and which nomad catcher,by year 20 or shortly after this would be too frantic.

YEAR 10 and 11

the 2 tribes added markets to their villages.

4 members of the plains Indians arrived in late spring at the townhall.they began clearing land near the lake to the southwest.14 more arrive a year later at a 20% welcome sign.this group uses horses to travel with the bison herds.they have hand made crates,pouches,and carts to store goods in. with KID’s workplace mod and the mini mod ,they are able to keep busy.there are several mods with a variety of teepees or tipis.

YEAR 10 REVIEW

population 62 Indians,in 18 houses.they are using stone tools. the iron and minerals were moved to the trade post. the thatch Indians make fur coats to conserve leather. the woodland Indians are making leather coats.

we have plenty of food even thou there are no actual crop fields planted. each village did plant a farmyard garden. the farmyard mod has 2 parts,the gardens and a separate part that adds animals.the many farmyards give a variety of items.KID’s Native Indian mod has a hunting grounds where the Indians hunt rabbits,game and might catch turkeys. KID has done a lot of these “park-like” pieces in several mods. with the pine mod, the foresters are doing some trapping and brought in some pelts,furs,and game.

the gathering and wild animals have seen huge changes over the years. this map has pine mod and flora items added to RKEC items,which also includes some of the Nat Div mod. so from 4 different modders. RED also added wild animal herds and flocks. my mod order alters the roaming bison to look more wild. with this change,there are more bison ansd less deer to hunt. by using different mods, players have many options to design their own maps. different trees,meadows,animals,and even the rocks and minerals can be changed.disclaimer- due to the way Banished loads the mods, not everything can be added to the 1 map.you do have to pick and choose.

we have 2 Indian tribe villages.each has it’s own style of construction. both have a school and medic. the woodland does have a church functioing building. both have a shop to showcase their goods and a house for their chief.

Next Goal- we expect 2 more tribes to arrive. the next should be the plain Indians from the Great Plains that were nomadic and followed the bison herds.
