I might try this as interim GM. Seems simple enough. Can't guarantee permanence though.

Requesting a simple list with this turns orders though.

Go for it. I'll even send you a nice big chunk of map so that exploration can be done.

And odds are I'll return to this after March; I'm working in the tech crew for a musical then, and my free time will be extraordinarily limited until sometime around March 22.

Ok. Updating:

1. The road from stone to village llll
2. Road from lumber to village lll
3. bows lllll
4. spears lll
5. Better boats lll
7. Pickaxes lll
13. Search for new plants lll
14. Better farming lll

Here's the top picks from the previous round of voting.

Anyway, I'll try and do an update tomorrow, once I have found out the settlements location. The map is rather big.

((Well, so much for doing an update yesterday. The forum wasn't working for most of the day, so I'll claim that as my excuse. Also, minimalist update, next one will be larger.))

In order to facilitate travel and transport from the camps to village, stepping stones are placed over several rivers. Over time, as people continue to follow the same route, a path is formed. It's usage is limited however, as the trees cut down in the forest allow for the construction of large dugouts, which greatly facilitates transport over the river. The influx in resources towards the main village greatly aids it's development, and soon a variety of tools leave the first primitive workshops, again reinforcing production.

Send out scouts to the north and west of our rural agglomeration. (seeing as it's not really urban...yet)

+1 to above two
otherwise try producing a craft from hide over a wooden frame.

I agree, but also Use pickaxes and rudimentary digging devices to alter the course of the river, and help grow our crops easier. Ie, create Irrigation.

+1, in addition, see if we can find other crops to cultivate

[10ebbor10]

Everything is in the details, you know. Tell me what crops you like, and you might find them.

[Aseaheru]

+1 to expanding farming, +1 to irrigation. Plan for possible irrigation to follow:

As for crops, we could always go explore the shorelines for food that grows in marshes.

+1, but expanding on it, use the tools to create a delta in the river, if we have enough space. Then farm the inner islands of the delta.

Would you like an in-depth analysis of why such a request is silly, or would you like me to just request that we look for some kind of easily- and profitably-plantable crop?
