(Yes, this is related to ashton's game. I PM'd him some things, and is all I'll say about that. still Mortal Engines-themed somewhat as well, since the series is awesome.)

Having escaped out of the city that ate your poor town and finding an abandoned one that was fixable, your group of seven survivors have made a working town and gotten enough food and fuel to get moving at last. But you can hardly remeber what kind of town you used to lead...

Was it a...

Trading town?
 - a few coins
 - more space to put stuff
 - average starting fuel
 - average starting food
 - average starting metal
 - no starting scarcium (you sold it to fix this former pile of junk while still having the coinage left to continue trading eventually)

Hunter town?
 - Start with 2 pistols
 - no coins
 - no metal at start (town is lightly armored, reinforced in one or two places, and has a Crappy battering ram instead)
 - low starting food (but still enough to feed all seven of you)
 - average starting fuel

or a Roving Farmlands?
 - Very wide, not very tall.
 - average starting metal
 - low starting fuel (you need a better engine than something that was half dead only a little while ago to move this much farm at a decent speed)
 - A boatload of starting food
 - Generally considered less threatening than your average town

You can always modify the town later, but I'd been in the mood to keep drawing towns, so I ended up with three towns drawn so you guys get to pick your start this time, i guess.

Rules:
1. A turn generally lasts a day
3. You can claim any pixel inside it's spawner
4. If you die it'll take 3 days for the dead pixel to re-appear in it's spawner, which may or may not be anywhere nearby the others if certain things happen.

Borrowing the same resource icons, for both consistency and simplicity's sake.

Fuel - Traveling usually uses fuel on a per day basis.
Food - Each pixel eats 1 food per day, if they cannot, they die, a dice is rolled when necessary to determine which one. Food is added to the turn's stocks before any deaths are rolled for.
Metal - Used in some constructions
Scarcium - Used in a few very specific constructions, can be used for spawners and is a valuable trade commodity
Coin - Used for trade (my own icon)
Pistol - +1 bonus inside and outside during fighting (icon drawn by SirAaronIII)
Harpoon - +1.5 bonus outside during fighting (icon drawn by SirAaronIII)

Trading town.

I vote for trading town.

Cause money.

[Aklyon]

its only 4 coins, what you had left from buying materials. not enough for even a plant.

[cerapa]

But its still more than the completely broke other towns.

[Aklyon]

The hunter starts with some upgraded stuff, and the farm starts with enough food to make at least four times that, though its more oddly shaped than the other two. You have a point there too, though.

Farmer town. Because farming SHOULD equal fuel, which can be sold to buy metal to upgrade ye engines. Biodiesel does wonders.

[Aklyon]

Its more of a giant mobile farm than a town, with a few non-farm places for pixel spawners to be in.

Farming town.

Its more of a giant mobile farm than a town, with a few non-farm places for pixel spawners to be in.

Then we just expand it with the metal we buy. Simple, really.

[Aklyon]

Tied at two each, hunter is out I guess.

[Maxinum McDreich]

farming town! Food is delicious and good for you!

[Aklyon]

Alright then! Let me go add the pixel spawners to that, and then get going with ze update of firstness. If you want a specific color, mention it now, the rest will be random bits.

[ExKirby]

I call ze red.
