Progress

If you are wondering why people can't join this week there are a couple of reasons.

 

Firstly, it wouldn't really make sense for other settlers to come to a town that has yet to be built and the winter is a bad time to travel so it's unlikely many would make there way to the settlement at this time.

 

Secondly, it honestly makes things a bit easier for me and with everything going on I want to simplify the work on my side for the next update so I can get it out quickly and not have to put it off.

 

If you want to add a character that option will be available with the next update, which hopefully should be ready a lot more quickly than this one was.

I voted town hall.  Usually I'd say that the church would be one of the first things to declare it's presence, but I think the town hall would be a great foot hold for the town.

 

Great work so far! Love the small settlement you've set up in the woods.

Well, guess I'll sign up next update then :P

I voted market they will need to exchange goods don't forget you need lots of farms and ranches agriculture to sustain itself then start exporting the Ag products.

Bruce Mains selects lot 31 and builds a hotel.

LOL Will :P; Looking great Jon!

i vote dock. imports\exports. nice idea on the c.j.!

Scott English selects Lot 38 and builds a Shop.

 

Great work!  

Vincenzo Machiavelli selects Lot 32 and builds a shop with living quarters above.
The town's growing fast, really nice cj.

Edit: And if you're not gonna use it, I'd also like to have the space next to lot 32 for future use.

John Walker selects lot 30 and build a shop with living quarter

great work! almost forget this journal thought

I feel a dock would be the most economical thing to do to get this town going. That or a market, I feel a Town Hall could wait a bit.

 

Keep up this awesome project!:)

 

Marshal Thibodeaux selects a beautiful waterside plot outside of town and builds a small farming cottage to call home. 

Paul Brittle selects Lot 2 and build a shop with living quarters

John Booth selects lot 34 and builds a fishery/fish shop with living quarters.

Beautiful!

Tomislav Ricov selects lot 8 and builds a home.

 

I also believe a market would be a better option - provides jobs and products for the community.

Mody Mentos and Family select lot 1 and builds a brothel.

I voted for you to build a dock first, that would be the most viable investment because it can potentially attract commercial ships regionally or even nationally.

Mody Mentos and Family select lot 1 and builds a brothel.

 

Lot 1 has already been picked.

Looking around at the gathered settlers John turns to gaze at the surrounding woods and hills and decides that his life is out there, hunting and tanning hides. Not many people notice as he turns to wander away but someone does, grabbing his sleeve.

 

'Sorry son, were having us a palaver over what to build for the better of the town and would appreciate your say like.' a old fella asked.

 

Thinking quickly John choose a market, he would hopefully need the place to trade furs and meat once he'd got his small livelihood set up. Tipping his hat in farewell to the old fella, John continued heading out of town, preparing to find himself a place out ther in the quiet wooded hillside.

 

 

 

OOC: So yer I choose market and clearing myself a space up in the wooded hillside to set up a hunting lodge.

Market to trade with the native population - you may need to trade for some Turkeys otherwise you'll never get to invent Thanksgiving!

 

 

 

Heh - who needs SC2013 to have a multiplayer SimCity game? ;)

James O'Brien selects lot 35 and builds a house with a small shop

John Harding selects lot 34 and builds a home

I like the idea, great update ! :)

i vote dock. imports\exports. nice idea on the c.j.!

Like, i thinked the same thing ;)

Theo Kinkade (and family) selects lot 28 and builds a home.

 

In my opinion it's better to build a Market for now.
