I've been doing this for about a week now and I've decided I want to show everyone here.
Remember this island?
Well, I've decided to start building on it....with natural growth. I've been looking over csgdesign's old cj (still the best, in my opinion, when it comes to natural growth cjs) on his site csgforums and I thought building a region naturally might be a good challenge for me and a distraction from working on the center province on the main island all the time. The story of Serpeira's growth will be told (at least, initially) from the viewpoint from one of the initial settlers. So here goes!
My name is Murray Terrence and I’ve started this diary as this island grows to document the progress we take on our way to greatness.
This first year was a bit rough as we were just trying to survive and not die here. The first bunch of houses was built and some land was cleared for farming.
Henderson's store is the one across from the market stalls.
Henderson opened up the first store, a general store of sorts. People went there to trade beans for bread and pigs for wood, stuff like that. Anything anyone needed, you’d prolly find it at Henderson’s store.
The first ever town meeting was held in Henderson’s store, in fact. The first item on the discussion was how this island was going to be run. It was decided that a council would run it, and it would decide most things for now, since the town was so small. There was a vote, and somehow I was one of the 8 that ended up on the council! I was very surprised. The second order of business was about the village that had settled on the south shore of the bay, which we hadn’t given a name yet.
It was decided that we should extend a road out to them so that travelers wouldn’t have to hack their way through a forest and get lost. I suppose there was no point in starting a fight with the other village.I mean, there was a lot of land to be had. There was also a discussion about exploring the rest of the island, and we sent a few people off with rations to the southern part of the island to survey. Industry was mentioned, but people felt it was a bit early for that, so it was tabled for a later meeting. The meeting ended on a high note, as we felt ready for anything in our new town called….oh crap.
Some more shots of the main town...
The small community south of the main town.
More farms.
And an overview of the town. The farm way out is old man Richards' farm.
Year 1:
Population: 827
Town 1: 390
Town 2: 437
