Chapter 11




  By spring of year 7, we built a large Council Hall in the north valley.  It took quite a while to get the building supplies to the site, all the nearby surface stone had already been gathered.  We could have built a smaller building, I suppose, but this one was quite impressive. There was plenty of room for our town meetings or just for folks to get together to visit and have a little fun.  It made the long winters go a little faster.



  Some folks preferred just to get off by themselves, especially in spring and summer.  I myself love to walk along the river in the early morning mist.  Elves enjoy nature and wildlife.  We built a beautiful sanctuary garden in the west valley that we set aside for the wild creatures.  All those that we brought with us have adjusted well and are quite content to stay in the valley. They get along well with each other.  It is magical to sit there in the sanctuary garden and see the animals pass by in the forest that surrounds you.  You must be sure to visit the sanctuary, eager explorers, before you go.

Chapter 10




  Another mountain house was built in the north valley, and another winter had settled in.  This winter there would be warm nut bread fresh from the new bakery that was being built there.  If we ran short of flour, we could grow more oats in the new greenhouse that was just completed, but for the time being there were new potatoes just coming up.  There was room for another greenhouse, even two or three.  We would need a lot more compost, and more workers on that side of town.  Only one small nice cottage was built there by the crystal and magic gardens.





  Those new potatoes would go nicely with the sausages that were being made back in the north valley.  The butcher shop was built by the shops making tools, clothes, and baking bread.  Our food supply was more varied and was keeping up well with the increased population.

I wonder if making a mod like this is even possible?

Chapter 9




  By summer of year 6, we had a greenhouse built east of the 3rd waterfall close to the compost bin.  We planted some of the oat seeds that the previous group of Elves brought with them.  We would have grain and we planned another greenhouse to grow potatoes when we were sure to have enough compost for both.   There were also seeds for strawberries, beans, cabbage, corn, pumpkins, and squash.  We'll gladly give you an assortment of all our seeds, eager explorers, when it's time for you to go. 



  We built a mill across from the greenhouse, and a house nearby for a newlywed couple.  There were many young singles living at home with their parents.  Rainbow Falls had 33 families but only 22 houses.  We had a bit more logs but we were always short of stone, house building was a slow process.  Why yes, eager explorer, we will gratefully accept some of the stone from your tiny quarry in exchange for the seeds, and maybe a bit of wool. We do not want to overhunt our wildlife just for hides or down; our food supply is good.  We are most interested in the trade route you are trying to establish.  We'll build a small trading post as you suggest, and I'm sure we will be able to keep it stocked with nuts and apples to trade.



    Having 3 magic gardens gave us more fruit, enough that we could build a nectar garden.  We built it facing the 3rd waterfall, folks can sit at one of the tables in the garden and enjoy a cup of plum nectar and enjoy a nice view of the falls.

That would be wonderful, but I have never seen a mod like that.

Is there a mod out there that works with the latest version of Banished that will place down instant roads that can be travelled down by our Bannies please? I really want my Bannies to be able to focus on more important tasks instead of building roads. Thank you!

Chapter 8


  More houses were built in the north valley, one at the end of hostel row and 2 mountain houses by the magic garden.  The hostel was empty.  A gatherer's workplace was built in the forest behind hostel row. 




  Another house was built by the first one east of the 3rd waterfall.  An herbalist workplace was built in the forest there.  A greenhouse was built by the compost bin and oat seeds that the last group of Elves brought with them were planted inside.  We Elves prefer to gather foods from the wild and from hedgerows and patches.  We'd rather grow crops year-round in greenhouses than in farm fields that destroy too many trees.  And of course there's always our magic gardens to conjure up fruits, vegetables, and nuts.  Our 3rd magic garden was built next to the crystal garden by the 3rd waterfall.
 


  In later spring of year 6, 18 more Elves came through the portal but did not stay with us.  We seriously considered disabling the portal but hesitated for fear of where the next group to enter it would end up.  We weren't sure disabling the portal here would prevent others from entering it there.

Chapter 7




  The Tree of Leaflets also has an inventory of our supplies.  Our food supply was very good except for a lack of grain; we only had a small amount of wild oats now-and-then.  We had plenty of venison and rabbit meat, and hazelnuts.  We had some apples, berries, and plums but could use more.  Although we had a nice variety of food, that variety was not getting to everyone.  The storage barn in the north valley had little food other than venison.  By spring of year 5, we had a marketplace built there by the school.
 




  We could not believe it that more Elves came through the magic portal, 14 of them again, 9 adults and 5 children.  They said there was no indication back in Crystal Canyon that there was anything wrong with the portal.  There was concern that nothing has been heard from any of the others that left; no one returned and there was no vision or contact by crystal ball.  We welcomed the newcomers and were glad to have more workers.  We were glad to have the seeds they brought with them.

  There was room in the hostel for all but one family.  A house was built for them east of the 3rd waterfall.  Our 2nd crystal garden was built there and there were plans to build a magic garden next to it to supply that area with more fruits and vegetables. By the stockpile we built a compost bin; we had a lot of extra vines that the magician in the Spell Tower didn't need. 



  More houses were being built in the north valley for those living in the hostel.  A magic garden was built next to the marketplace so that they were sure to get their fair share of wild oats, apples, berries, plums, mushrooms, roots, pecans, and walnuts.

Chapter 6


  A mountain house was built in the north valley along with a small house and a tailor and smith.  There was a supply of down from the grouse the hunter was getting, also some furs; the small frock maker was not skilled in using those textiles.  The new tailor was now using the down and leather to make warm coats.



  The new smith was making basic iron tools which left the Spell Tower in the main part of town free to make enchanted bows.  A small vine grower nearby was growing and cutting the vines needed for the new bows.  There would soon be a hunter in the Hunting Tower there.  A cemetery was built where the temporary shacks had been, and a marketplace was under construction.





  A Tree of Leaflets was carved out to keep town records.   In early winter of year 4, Rainbow Falls had a population of 57, 34 adults, 12 students, and 11 young children.  The magic school in the main part of town was almost full; a new school with indoor classrooms was built in the north valley.  A tree fellow appeared alongside to watch over the children. Another house was built at the end of hostel row, the children would not have far to go to school. The hostel was now empty.  The hunting area was being preserved.

I've done it. I had a Adam n Eve setting, one of them got killed in summer. I kept the other one alive and working with mods, until nomads showed up. Not impossible.
