The butcher, the baker, the candle-stick maker...

Looking to network with crafts persons, farmers, builders, breeders, explorers, teachers, innkeeps, barkeeps, tinkers, tailors, soldiers, spies... If you have a concept that can be flexible enough to fit an odd biome/tribe, I'd like to hear from you!

Yet-to-be-named

Good luck! Need more counts ready to join the free kingdom. :D

Best of luck to you.

It's really hard to plan anything before domain selection. Even if you got an impoverished little domain in the middle of nowhere, you could spin that and recruit folks looking for that style...but you can't do that without knowing.

It's nice to see someone actually acknowledging that ambiguity.

I haven't named my town beyond a placeholder yet for the same reason.

I like that you are addressing our lack of information and being straight that you want to hold off making those decisions.

Best of luck in the contest.

Thank you, folks! I appreciate all three of you stopping in and wishing me luck!!

As I’ve been perusing the forums, I’ve decided that, whatever tribe/plot/biome I end up with, I’d like to start a school/academy/college, with a sizable library. That still leaves quite a bit of ambiguity, but if anyone is on board with that, let’s talk!!!

No idea what the FK will get, but the chatty guessers are guessing Waerd or Kypiq.

How might your plans differ if we get one of those or the other?

Well, to be completely honest, that is a small part of why I have resisted making any grand plans. (Actually, I’ve made a few, but I am tabling them until I have more info.)

When we have some idea of tribe, I will decide on a general path for my character and family, but I am hoping to have some people with plans of their own, particularly if they are excited about the tribe we get!
Despite some of the challenges, the Kypiq I believe will be the easier of the two to make successful, with some careful research/planning.
The Waerd concern me a bit more, but I’m confident that by the time we get going, myself and any of my supporters will have a solid course of action to follow.

If we have either of those races, I believe I will stock a bit more by way of resources, and maybe build a bit less, to lengthen the learning curve.

What types of improvements are you referring to in order to make a better quality of life?

Good luck to you as well ^_^

What types of improvements are you referring to in order to make a better quality of life?

So, for quality of life improvements, there are the easy to identify things; roads, fences, etc., the items commonly thought of when we bring up infrastructure.
I will be pursuing these, for the betterment of the realm. However, I’d like to pursue a few other projects as well, such as a conservation program to provide suitable hunting, while preventing over hunting, maybe hire a breeder of wild critters? An academy that is open to the citizens, either free, with a contract to remain in my realm for a time, or a low fee. Perhaps a hauling and transport service for the citizens of the county, to aid in collection and distribution of products. Or to just be able to go visit granny easier. I have a few other, less thought out ideas, as well, but I think it would be more fun to work them out with people in my county.

Thank you, Shadowfaux!!
