I thought we already had a stockade.

40 men to cut wood, 40 men to build housing, 40 women to gather plants, and 40 women to set up animal traps.

We have none of them. We can build them, but our current projects on hand both suffer from an obvious lack of building materials.

And alas, we only have 126 souls here. Winter will certainly take its toll given the lack of suitable preparation.

[Skyrunner]

That is why we need housing! 50 men should build, and 30 men cut wood.



EDIT: The women should set traps. Who says women can't hunt? >:-D

Yes

says the way humans breed.
Again I fight against your choices. explore, feed, house, breed. thats how you thrive and expand.
20 women fish
30 men wood cutting to the north
10 men exploring, five bearing 5 goods, the others muskets and carrying a spare pike. make contact with at least one native group and give them the goods if they are trying to be peaceful.
focus building efforts on housing, using 10 women/20 men
20 men build the dock

We NEED house right now. 50 men to build, 30 to cut wood is the way :£

[evilcherry]

Any consensus here?

Concerning population growth, a more important source will be immigrants. Just like DF.

[zomara0292]

There are 11 men and 5 women unassigned. If we move them over to house building, then will you be appeased? I am trying to think of possible situations in the future. Having natives living in the area, who are on our sides, means having a current symbiotic source of protection and manpower and a future parasitic source of food and manpower.

Ok, this is what I think:

20 women fish
30 men wood cutting to the north
10 men exploring, five bearing 5 goods, the others muskets and carrying a spare pike. make contact with at least one native group and give them the goods if they are trying to be peaceful.
focus building efforts on housing, using 15 women/31 men
20 men build the dock

I am fine with that

As the winter cold sets in, fish become very hard to catch, only providing you with a meager catch of 40.
Lumbering gives you 60 wood. You put everything into the townhouses, but you still have a small gap to fill.

Surprisingly, even with the lack of a common language, and the imminent hostility displayed by your pikes (they do not understand the power of gunpowder, yet), you still managed to trade the trinkets, saying it is a gift from the king (your men did not say Spanish or Portuguese, of course, and even so it is of little interest to them). In return, you got a good pelt coat, in addition to a few processed pelts. Your men stated they will present these to the king - after putting them in the storehouse - and bid farewell.

6 male and 4 female colonists died from inadequate protection from the cold. A baby was born.

Improved presentation a bit. It should be clear where your progress is.
Note that you are Iberians at heart, even your interest lays very different from the median Iberian. If you do not specifically convince them peace is the better way, they will probably resort to force and looting.

...WHAT?!

We should have put 50 men to build houses and 30 men to cut wood! We MUST focus on doing things, not do a little of everything! We had adequate food for some months!

Natives can be met and liaisoned with later, when people are freezing to death!

I heartily disagree.

Anyways, now lets finish the houses and cut more wood.

I propose 5 men to build houses, 20 men to build docks. Do whatever you people want to do after that. Oh yeah, send 50 or so men to cut wood.

Is the bay here a warm or cold, deep or shallow on average?

[Scelly9]

We don't have that many poeple.

[Deamonpies]

There are 79 men,

So we could have 10 build houses, to make sure they get finished, 15 to build the docks and then the remaining 54 can go cut wood.

Concur.

What about the women though? They could do something :/
