Stormcrows circle. The first two groups of settlers manage to reach the island, Lukeinator even managing to plant crops in the fertile soil. Zanzetkuken's fleet is caught by the mighty storms which haunt the open seas. The last ships tear their keels out on rocks, spilling the remnants of his occupation force into a pounding sea and razor-like reef. What few make it to shore stagger along to Lukeinator's camp and beg to be allowed to join the settling party.
survey for minerals again
You are still on an alluvial floodplain. Nice soil, but you can forget about minerals. Your colonists do some trading, seeds for meat.
invent firearms. Build firearms. Also expand to continent.
You prospect for saltpeter deposits, since you had a bright idea. Your prospectors find a few, but one is in your neighbor's land. You send some of your crew out in your ship to the mainland, where they set up a camp.
Use river to establish trade route with poketwo. Sell sexy meats for sexy crops.
You take advantage of the great width of the river from your lake to sail your vessel downstream. You trade meat from hunters with the agricultural farmers. Also, some different-looking people trade meat for stone chunks and some shiny ore. As the weather turns cold, something roars across the sky and hits the end of the lake in an almighty burst of water.
Right, get trading started with poketwo and thus BFEL, etc. Get mining and expand farther along road, setting up farms as we go.
You extend further towards the mountain ridge, and start an open-pit into a crevice. You rig up some carts, and your traders are back at the end of the month with some salted meats and fish.
Cut down trees to build shelter for my people. Then build bows/arrows/spears for hunting/fishing
Your loggers fell trees all around, building larger accommodation, as well as a log palisade. Your attempts to build more hunting tools doesn't go as well. Your quartermaster warns you that water is beginning to run short.
Summon our Hatvian brehtren through the gate.
Your soothsayer reports that you have not gathered enough Enchant Fungus to carry out the ritual. Some of the less religious colonists do the work for the rest of the month, while everyone else scours the island for mushrooms.
Winds howl and oceans boil. Storms roar down from the north.
Yes.
