Welcome to Castle Rock XIV.

Map seed number: 684 422 595
Map Size: Large
Terrain: Peak's Lakes (RK EC)

Starting seeds and animals: cucumber, carrot, apple, blueberry and leghorns

I will not plant cucumbers and blueberries, leghorns will be left to die out.


Year 1:

Overview of starting village and surrounding area. The hill to the west will be leveled to allow expansion.

Area across the river to the south. A future mining and industry centre (sand, clay, coal and iron ore extraction, iron smelting, tool making, glass and bricks manufacture).

Year 5:

One child became adult within first 20 seconds of the game, nothing I could do about that. By clearing the area to the west I gained significant amounts of stone and iron ore. Bit difficult to obtain enough leather though, deer are scarce and fur collecting erratic. The village is growing ok though. There is enough food for everyone.

I've started to produce iron fittings and wagon parts which are needed for DS Jetty pieces. Also making lumber.

   very nice as always @Gatherer  How do you get that sandy shore area on the second picture?  Can the bannies get to it?

[Gatherer]

Flatten terrain tool.

[Abandoned]

oh, I must try that.  Thanks.

Year 9


This starter village is only temporary. I'm already thinking of moving the population to the west along the shore.

Kid's log depot and boat market and DS jetty firewood splitter.

I will place two forest nodes above the paused irrigation canal. Most of the housing here will be temporary. The main town will be built later on to the north.

Orchards for a greener look. I will build DS Bryggen houses in this area.

Year 13


New fields are awaiting activation after I delete the old ones in starter village. I have no clear vision yet as to how this area west of the school should look like in terms of housing. I may need to use flatten terrain tool here as well.

Year 18

Slowly but surely moving the people elsewhere.

Bannies were suffering from bad health so the wheat seeds I bought were put to good use.

Southern village is slowly growing. I've pre-built the industry section fort he most part. Still need to put down coal and iron ore mines and then some forest food producers.

Southern village is taking priority at the moment.

looks great !!!! like it ?

looks great !!!! like it ?

It's quite nice actually. I love the terrain colour and the various industry chains. Also the various animals make it a good challenge to secure enough leather at the beginning. But I will probably switch to RE EC Light for the next map. There's just too many housing options here that I don't need and will not use.

Question: Do you have plans to include first floor houses with an underpass like there were in NMT 2.0.4.? The ones that you could build 2nd and 3rd floor above?

It would be great if multi floor homes were separated from this mod and offered each texture as standalone. I only ever build them in sandbrick texture and would save a lot of MBs this way.

[RedKetchup]

yes but not super soon.
