With the new release of Colonial Charter: Iron Curtain, my Esopus village is no more.
However, I am doing a new history of another incarnation of the same town, called Wiltwyck.
Posting the blogs here was really restrictive with the BB code requiring a lot of time to convert to make it look good, so I've started a stand-alone blog (http://wiltwyck-banished.blogspot.com/) to chronicle the development of Wiltwyck.
Here's a time-lapse I've put together of the first 12 years of development in town.

Very nice!
