YEAR 12 and 13

           as the bannies multiply,so do the animals. the goats are moved to a new barn and a 2nd coop built for the chickens.  the 10yr old boys will tend to the animals. they will milk the goats and harvest the grain and hay.this will give us more protein and increase the population.

          the 2 boys dug a well and helped produce 150 more food than we ate.

         with the mod adjustments, the fodder grass has not died off on this map. that is a nice change.

YEAR 14 and 15

          now i have to make a decision. 2 girls are growing up but they will not move in with someone for a few more years.this will slow down the population growth as the EB houses are crowded with 4 children each. i had moved Lora as soon as she became a laborer ,but she has not had any babies. we will lose about 2 to 4 new borns by not moving anyone. since Lora chose to stay by herself, i won't force move the children.there is 1 builder,the wood cutter who helps as a laborer most of the year,and Lora who has hit the herb limit.1 of the girls will help with the gardens and the other will help as a laborer.

        with these large houses,barns, and sheds,we have enough room. to use more of it for storage, KID's ghosted crates were placed under the wagon and some on the porches.this gives us an extra 1200 storage space. this gave us  room to store  flowers. the flowers spawn various berries with the RKEC mod. we picked the mulberries and raspberries and dug up the onions.then cut the flowers from the hay field.by weeding the hay field, we are hoping the fodder will grow better.

        my hope of the fodder regrowing isn't working. guess i was wrong and seeing flowers not fodder. we will need to manage the hay field.the boys set up a wood cutter to cut their own firewood. this will work to cut lumber now and then. with the RKEC mod this hay field does yield a lot of berries.we have been careful not to cut the bushes.  the children pick them and they add to our food stocks,

YEAR 16 and 17

        we are getting close to the clothing limit.the farm worker is sent to work at the fodder shed.2 work at the firewood yard and  the 2 boys still tend to the animals and pick apples.the hay was planted for a year, then the worker went to help with the chickens and goats.

      in early winter,Lora moved Lillis in with her. her 12 year old sister moved into his house.he is 15 and Lora 24.finally, our 1st wedding.

      after some discussion, we figured we needed a community storage barn. there are many sheds and crates that are being used,but this will keep things organized better.

     Lora gave birth to a son, the same month her mom had a newborn son as well. two children grew up to help more. 1 helps with the children and gathering food from the hay field. the other helps as a laborer.

YEAR 18 and 19

          there are enough bannies to keep an eye on the children so they won't get lost.now, we can build a bridge over the small stream. then we built a shed to store firewood and logs.

         2 more children have grown up. 1 will expand the oat field and the other will gather honey from bees in the hay field. they will work part of the year as laborers.

         with Lori and Kris pairing up we have our 2nd couple.finally the bannies are starting to grow up and move together.

YEAR 20 REVIEW

          population 17,with 4 young children in 5 houses.our workforce has increased and we have 2 couples.the animals multiplied, and we have more milk and eggs.a 3rd farmyard gives apples and we expanded the oat and hay fields. we have plenty of food.

       now that the bannies are pairing up, we should have a population boom and see some expansion.

YEAR 20 to 22

         several years go by waiting for the children to grow up.we are content and continue to gather firewood and cut logs.we need population more than anything else.finally we have our 3rd couple. another will pair up in 2 years.2 more children will become helpers next year. we plan a forester to replant trees and supply our logs across the stream.     

          we increased our food and herb limits and doubled the size of our community barn.

YEAR 23 and 24

          we build a cabin across the bridge for the next couple. sadly Dane died during child birth. Rilee moved into the cabin with Quin. our 1st death.
that won't help the population growth.

YEAR 25 and 26

            now that we had our 1st death,we build a cemetary and a  parish church.Lora planted daffadils and dogwoods near by. she will tend to the grounds since we don't have a chaplain.

YEAR 27 to 29

         as the next set of children become laborers,Rilee begins to gather food in the forest. a cottage is built for the next couple.Lora's daughter helps her with the children and gathering. together they collect herbs and food.Lora's husband collects honey from the hay field and helps with the animals.

       the 2 boys and their wives tend to the goats and chickens. they also feed the oxen,donkeys,and horses.1 to the animal shed,1 picks apples from the farmyard,1 gathers food around the fodder hut,and 1 works the oat field half the year.the 2 founding couples work their farmyards,cut firewood,and mend tools and clothing. these bannies all work well together.

      the beekeeper and extra oat field are worked til snow falls. then the workers help gather firewood and move supplies. now and then a worker cuts and plants at the fodder hut to maintain the hay field. it works out well that these houses can burn the hay since the horses won't eat it.it won't fill storage. the flowers spawn the berries for the combo gatherer. when we get low on firewood,more is chopped in the winter or early spring.

      sadly,LORA died during child birth. she gave birth to 4 children.her husband tends to the fglowers and herbs. her 11 year old daughter,Malvia, watches the children and picks the barries. it is a hard loss for the many children she helped raise.

YEAR 30 REVIEW

        population 33,in 7 houses.we had 2 deaths during child births.we now have a small forester to provide logs and food. we built a church and fenced a cemetary but have no cleric. we doubled the size of the community storage. the bannies have beeen busy and doubled the population.there are as many children as adult workers.

       some day we hope to expand along the river and build a trading post. someday seems so far away.

YEAR 30 and 31

         in Lora's honor,the children planted a walnut tree.Lillis planted roses along the cemetary.

         1 of the 10yr old boys built an EB house near the walnut tree. he then built a mill to grind corn.the neighbors have a small bakery to make nut bread.

           REGG built house #9, a coloonial. he makes apple cider at the White Swan tavern.

          several children have gown up enough to become laborers. as the girls turn 15 and pair up,more houses will be built. we are nearing a construction boom.

YEAR 34 and 35

            the last 2  houses have single males.they will pair up within a year.then we can build our 10th house. then wait 3 years for females to age up.

     Lora's daughter, Eli, will move and become our trader.she heard many stories  about the world far away from Butterville. merchants will come and tell more stories. a pine furrier hut is built to process the furs and pelts. these will supply the trade post.Eli keeps flowers and some cider on stock as well.
