YEAR 5 and 6
a hay pile was covered and a stand set up to showcase the grass,herbs,and other plants the thatch Indians gathered. then they cleared land and stocked supplies for the next tribe near the lake to the east.
since we have not had nomads yet, i placed a 50% welcome sign. this should give us a good size group soon. we might get 2,1 from the mini townhall as well. that will help speed the game up.

YEAR 3 and 4
the Indians extended the meeting area by clearing a ceremonial grounds. they built a fire to send smoke signals to call other tribes. a trade post was built to move the copper and iron ore,iron,and flowers.they worked to stock supplies for the upcoming pow wow.
the fodder-thatch does die off after a few years unlike the ND thatch that does continue to spawn.hence, the thatch Indians had to cut it and build quickly. a school,barn, and sauna were constructed. they also built 2 more houses to move 10 year old boys as well.

goal-highlight changes to the Indian mods and mods that can be used for the Indians,also,attempt to build the map without using any iron. we may use iron ore for tools if we get a major tool shortage.
mod order-removed many mods. even with fewer mods,i am hitting 90% of the memory capability of this computer.part of the memory for this map is used to change the clothing of the Bannies. these do look like Indians.not everything will be historically accurate.
America is a huge country,spanning over 3000 miles between 2 oceans. as such the landscape and wildlife is very diverse. there were many different tribes of Native Indians. some lived in the plains and hunted the buffalo. others fished in the Pacific Northwest.in the Northeast, Indians hunted deer and farmed.henece,there were differences to how they made their houses. Banished now has several Indian mods. there are even turkeys to hunt.
a group was sent out from the fort at Abbottstown to explore. they came upon land between 4 lakes where many different tribes sent delegates to hold council meetings and trade goods.
we start with the thatch Indians. they use muyd to hold grass,sticks,and stones together to build a variety of different huts. the thatch Indians worked the forest to the north.in keeping with the policy by the tribal council, they built a large grass hut for the chief near the storage barn and pile. then they set up a mini townhall for the other tribes to gather and trade.they make stone tools and leather coats.
each of the tribes bring some items native to their homelands. the thatch Indians have bees,corn and bean seeds. they are able to grow food and harvest honey.

YEAR 15 END
the forests are harvesting more logs. however,by the time we have enuf logs to build a CC trade post and wait for the supplies to construct the CC fort pieces, these bannies would need more houses.not quite the fort i wanted, but it will work.
counting the full barracks,there are now 73 settlers.everyone is well fed and happy.soon it will be less crowded again.there are enuf supplies to load the covered wagons with extra seeds,clothing,and tools.
even thou the education level shows 26%, these bannies have been taught to farm,hunt,and what foods to gather.

YEAR 14
we plowed a new field for the squash.we needed the space for a large Slink’s farmer market to store food to supply wagon trains. to keep the bannies safe,more lookout towers were built.
the 4th group of nomads arrived. there are 10 of them,7 workers with 3 children. with the barracks full,it is time for settlers to head out from this landing fort and explore new lands.
in spring of year 15, the wagons wil be loaded and the setlers can depart.

YEAR 12 and 13
we had to dig another mine for iron ore. we split the 4 miners between the 2 mines. we decided to build a 2nd saltbox house to empty the barracks. the Pilgrim’s Rest tavern will make root beer.
the best trade we were offered was blackberry seed. we need a lot more logs to build a CC trade post.we traded coal for furnace fuel.
this map has many single females that have come of age. 2 more tiny shack houses were needed. there are now 5 or more young females living by themselves.

YEAR 10 and 11
we finished the fort walls. a butcher now works beside the depot storage to cut venison into sausages. we took time to finish collecting all the stone and iron ore nearby.
in year 11, 8 nomads arrived.5 workers with 3 children.1 family did have some seeds with them and planted a garden. they grow beans and corn. they also built near some berry bushes and will have honey from bees that they found.
another family built nearby and will grind the corn into flour and bake nut bread.
though we did not get everyone moved out of the barracks,we did cut enuf lumber to build a church.

YEAR 10 REVIEW
we more than doubled the population to 47,with 14 children and 4 students.we did take in 2 groups of nomads. we constantly have a log shortage due to the lack of space available to cut trees from. the houses are warm as they burn reed bundles and thatch . this thatch is from the Nat Div mod and is not flagged as firewood. much of the thatch is harvested as the foresters plant trees.
the nomads that arrive are smart enuf to work as farmers,mine,or plant trees.they have been trained much as the bannies in the north.even thou we show a low education level, the bannies are more productive. i like the mini townhall since it brings nomads every few years. staggering the nomads every few years helps give the bannies time to restock and build houses for the main citizens.the mini townhall has not been updated to 1.07 so excuse the messy production chart.
we did get a good start base to work from. most of the fort walls have been built.we built 2 trade posts and are working to stock them. my hopes of a merchant bringing CC building supplies did not pay off.had it done so,we could have built more of the CC fort pieces.
goals- we do need to finish the fort walls.we have hopes of building a church and a tavern. much depends on how many logs we have and the arrival of new settlers as well as supplies from any merchants.it won’t take many years and we will need to send settlers out to discover new lands and ship supplies back to support this fort.

YEAR 8 and 9
the 2nd group of settlers arrived in mid spring. there were 15 of them.4 couples,2 young workers,and 5 children.
1 family built a pine cabin and began to plant a 2nd combo forest. they will gather herbs and food there. another built a thatch school and set up a medical tent.the other 2 families remain in the barracks for the winter. they helped clear rocks for the new forest.
we did trade for 90 salt. our plan is to trade out the coal with the RH building supply trade post and us those goods to trade for other needed items.
in our 9th year, a pair of the new settlers headed to the mine.we will have more coal to trade soon. a stone trade post to bring in seeds is built.hopefully, it will bring us a grain seed. it is needed to improve our health.the new trade post will stock leather coats,furs,pelts,and the salt. the building supply trade post stocks coal and bonemeal.
the trade merchants built a stone house. this moved everyone out of the barracks. we managed to cut enuf trees to finish building the east fort wall.
