You do know I am directing a good quarter of my population to farming, right?

And that I have cut the rations down to as small as they can get?

I do not think we will go hungry any time soon.

Johnny john john. John. When in a game with hidden rules, do not make bold claims that you do not know if you can back up.

It is my personal belief that we can mine down and the get gold from underneath the plain

And I think you are unrealisticly optimistic.

What is the point of settling on a MOUNTAIN if their is an completely equal amount of metal everywhere? The advantage of the mountain is that the  majority of all the metal is inside it.

And as I have said, the others have their own advantages to work with. If they wasted time on mining for metal that is far less likely to there then on the mountain, they would be cripling themselves.

All starts are not the same or equal, I don't know if you have picked up on that yet.

I think there is a fair distance between the provinces, and I do not think you will be able to get away with that.

If dwaves were involved with the others, that would certainly change the equation.

Too bad they would just emigrate to me instead of joinning a raid.

Ah but dwarfs would work for beer and food. You would have little food and less beer. We can make lots a beer and lots a food. Then we would be able to mine slowly underneath you. Not necessarily attack. Just mine.

Sorry for not posting  update will be tomorrow today i will relish in my enormous hangover from the bierfest we had yesterday in our town...*the paaain*

ok although my headache is killing me i try to answer questions and mostly CLAIMS in no particular order

I assume that actions lead by the player (so making the fishing boats, but not making the housing) have a bonus of some sort?

it depends on who the player is. I doubt a knight or a squire exactly know how to build a boat. Sure they can increase the speed stuff is built but i doubt that they increase the quality of stuff. In your case you won't actually get a bonus as you take a bunch of inexperienced peasants and a squire to build fishing boats. Something they never did before.

limonite is found in nature as brown ironstone, ironsandstone, lake ore,bog ore   red dirt

Ahra is right here he could propably find Bog Iron and yes in Scandinavia are bogs and swamps and believe it or not there are many. Apart from that, they could also get lake ore.

Quote
Copper can be smelted into Bronze, which is a better metal then Iron.

This is by the way untrue good sir. Early times were dubbed as Bronze Age and then IRON Age for the simple reason that iron first of all is superior to bronze and secondly that the process to produce iron weaponry or tools is more complex and harder then that of making bronze.

Quote
I am on a fucking mountain. I do not think it is a secret that there will be metals inside.

There may be metals inside but that does not mean that you necessarily find some. You get a bonus to find some and the others get enormous mali but still, if you are unlucky you wont find some, or do you think you can go to the next mountian dig a meter and HURRA gold? If that were the case gold or metals in general wouldn't be that valuable...

But how often will trade come in? It has not been established when the caravans from our Empire will arrive to trade. It may be months, years, hell, maybe even a decade if things do not go well for that voyage. We will be mostly relant on the resources we have here, otherwise whats the point of farming and wood chopping if we get that stuff on a weekly basis?

by season 3 the first trade caravans will arrive...and you wont get anything for free...

Quote
I do not think the primitive native tribes are advanced enough to mine for any metal that isn't directly on the surface.

you know that norse raiders were feared for their advanced iron weaponry? Not to mention that those guys are everything but primitive. They are fearsome enough to loot cities and towns on the whole Eastern Coast of the Empire and get away with it. Don't underestimate those guys....


i think that was everything...
