Can we trade something with the lizardmen for a map of the area?

Can we trade something with the lizardmen for a map of the area?

The road? that'd be an awesome trade I think, can we build a cobblestone road however so as to preserve our wood?

[stabbymcstabstab]

why would we build a wooden road itll fall apart in a month make like a dirt road itll be a lost easier

[Immortal]

We do not have the resources or the immediate need for a road..

We should definetly ask for a map of the area though.

[stabbymcstabstab]

hell just cut down anything in our way to the city and that will make a road put up stakes so people dont get lose i done it before its takes about half a minute to put the stake in

I voice no problems with the work orders...

I voice problems with roads, currently not needed...

Staked path would be already done by now, its just fluff I feel, unless GM wants it to be something..

Roads are not needed I agree

[Angle]

Hers a question... Will building a road offend them? It might. I think we should ask before building a road.

[ashton1993]

I was just thinking though is the road not necessary for any trade at all? You can't carry wagons over rough terrain with bogs and marshes exactly 

[Toaster]

I haven't forgotten this!  It's just been a hectic week.  I'll hopefully update in the morning.

[Toaster]

Again, sorry for the delay.  I'll try to get back to my ideal schedule (around 5 updates a week).


As summer ended, Ricko led our scouts to the Alash city to negotiate trade.  His diplomatic skills appear to be a bit lacking, as according to the other scouts they were not overly impressed with him.  At any rate, they will give us four food for three stone or wood for stone at an even ratio, and they will take up to twenty units stone a month.  They do not have the skill to work ore, so they are not interested in that right now.  They would prefer that we do not build a road all the way to their city right now, but we may build one as far as the marsh edge.  They do not have a printed map, though they will tell us what they know of the area in exchange for two units of ore for them to study.

Our hunters pulled in another grand hunt, while our farmers had an adequate harvest.  Collection of other resources continued with no special note.

Well obviously let them have the two ore that's a tiny trade of and also i think finding a use for the ore would be a good idea, maybe if we want to do this later we should stop mining ore and instead focus more on wood collection as that's what we seem to burn through the fastest

[ArKFallen]

I think we should hold off building more farms and instead focus on the windmill. Adding more farms will eat our workforce and slow down food production in the long run. If a windmill gives even a 5% increase in yield we'll be much better off. I think we should also trade the Alash 12 stone this month for 16 food, just in case.

I still believe we shouldn't give the Alash any of our ore, yet. If they learn to work it before we trade them metal we won't get as much from them. While knowing what's around the marsh would be nice we should hold that off until we can trade them metal tools first.

Overall Hunters hunt, miners mine, woodcuts cut, farmers farm, ricko, scouts, and 2 guards deliver our trade goods, builders cut wood, and the 7 remaining guards accompany the miners.

[Terenos]

I agree with Ark. Trained citizens do their task, builders join in the building, guards cover the miners.
I also agree that we should not trade any ore right now, and a trade of some stone for some food is an excellent idea.

Furthermore, hes on my side about this whole upgrading the windmill thing. Awesome Ark. Just awesome. Virtual high five!

[Neyvn]

I'm just happy that we are getting Positive amounts for our Food. Lets look into trading Stone and Ore back for more Labourers...
