@solarscreen Thanks for the clarification!


I have been trying to post up a screenshot or two but the site just isn't letting me today. But I am going to give this a try to see how many traders I can handle!
Town name is Severlot (I just let the game pick it), and the seed is 411823914 (got it from a seed thread on SRforums). The rest is large, valleys, mild, disasters off, and easy start (for a change and for the sheep).

i dont like alot this challenge cause i m totally unable to just .... ignore the merchants docking on my trading posts. i pass all my time to deal with them, like 90% of my gaming time.
it is stronger than my will, cant resist to go see and do some deals, always.

i really dont know how i ll be able to deal with 48-72 trading posts lol  :-[

The first step is to admit that you have a problem.  ;)

I considered several maps but I chose this one because looked like a really good map for this challenge. I've never auto traded or had more then six trade ports, I figured I needed any advantage I could give myself. ;D   

I would not anticipate me putting up 80 trade posts though.  :o

irrelevant

I have a hard enough time filling up 20, especially so with the larger size in 1.0.3.

Damn damn damn... I would have loved to join in this challenge D:

I have to stay strong and save myself from further temptation .........
but when... no, if..... I do, I'll start a new game instead of one of my older trading port villages :D

Thanks @mariesalias .. No wait, damn you.

:(...

I'm obviously conflicted. I'll go eat my breakfast now.

You don't see the "Insert Quote" link over on the far right top of each post?  Click that instead of reply.

@nmid   Glad to see you back! I hope you'll join in the fun! :D 

To get the quote button to work from the main page there is a setting to toggle off (quick reply, I thing?) in Account Settings.

@rkelly17, looking good. I have been bogged down with moving our office location, not finding much free time. My village has not even made it to year seven, I think. You are already at 70! Go go go!

Zephormite

Up to year 57 and trundling along. My village has 22 TPs in place, and another 18 currently laid out, it looks like both lakes are accessible for traders which will help (I have also tried to put two on an island in the middle of the lake, no idea if they will work yet).

I have cranked up to over 40 Taverns pumping out the Ale, but not really producing enough at this point, will need to crank up a reserve of food and resources and then have a go at building an ale reserve.
