Thanks again to everyone for their patience in giving me the time to finish the challenge. More details on the last several years of the game and screenshots can be found in the town blog thread at:
http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?topic=809.msg14762#msg14762Here's the summary of the town as of early spring year 50:
Map: medium valley map with a mild climate, disaster on, hard start
Total population: 725 (503 adults, 93 students, 129 children)
45 boarding houses containing 285 families
100% clothed
99% educated (a leftover effect from nomads and a mistake in destroying BH's -- got a school without meaning to)
Health: 5 hearts
Happiness: 5 stars
No farms/orchards/pastures
Other buildings: 21 gatherer huts, 15 fishing docks, 10 hunter cabins, 7 woodcutters, 16 forester lodges, 5 herbalists, 2 blacksmiths, 4 taverns (berries), 4 tailors, 11 markets, 4 hospitals, 5 chapels, 10 active schools (plus 6 more for shuffling students), 1 trading post (finally had to build one in year 42 for food and stone).
No mods
This was a really enjoyable game. Thanks to
