YEAR 6 and 7
we traded for some glass. a cemetary was fenced. we also worked to build 2 lookout towers.our fort walls will build between these when we have logs to spare. to conserve logs, i used CC towers with KID’s fort walls. this works so that bout half the walls are ghosted and didn’t need logs to be built.
2 men left the fort and headed north to hunt and bring back meat and leather.

pic 2: fort gate and hunting tower. this tower doesn’t hunt a radius. functions as a workplace which gives better output totals in tight spots.
pic 3:east wall, to the west of the gate is storage
pic 4: fort wall overview,the wall sections are ghosted and did not require logs but the CC towers and other parts did.
YEARS 3 to 5
there aren’t many trees near the shore here. to conserve logs, we will collect reeds,dry them, and use bundles to heat our houses. these houses do burn thatch that is collected during construction.we need lots of logs for the fort walls.
to stockpile more food,a 2nd field of squash was planted and we gathered food in the fall.
we decide to dig a mine shaft for coal that we can trade. a RH building supply trade post will help bring more supplies.the trade post will also stock bonemeal and pelts.
in our 5th year, 4 nomads arrived.they will stay at the barracks until we can harvest more logs.we also had our 1st death.the builder fell off a ladder.

ABBOTTSTOW-5433340,CC water world,medium size,fair climate,no disasters, medium start seeds-squash and walnut
i put the maps in alphabetical order for the year. since this is the 5th year of the series,the map codes will start with a 5.
GOAL-America is a huge country. it was settled by several different countries and in several locations. with that and the site change, i decided to build a new landing fort from which the Bannies will go out and settle more lands.
this is a CC water world map. everything to the east is considered ocean.to show the many change to the game over the years, i used the Nat Div grass and gathering mod. i actually prefer this grass since it is short.makes it easier to see. the pine mod works to add the trees and trapping to the map. however, there will only be deer and ducks on the map, no other wild animals.
this should be a short map,so i took a lot of files out of the mod order.
we start on the north shore of a cove. everything from the 2 rivers in the north and the main river to the south eastward is considered to be ocean.Banished does not have a full water plane, so if i removed the ground it would show a void.
once the squash is planted and a barracks built to keep us dry,we start building some service workplaces. tools,clothing,firewood,and lumber will be needed to support more settlers. we will need to conserve logs with the lack of space. a combo forester and some small pine cabins will work to cut more trees. a mini townhall will work to bring more settlers in a few years.
