#bba challenge

I’m really bad at the banished challenge. I start building and then can’t stop...

Gorgeous.

Very dark, but gorgeous.

View from the river. With nearby pastures and forests, it seems like a lovely place to settle. It’s upriver from the coast so getting materials from the quarry or the ship is a trek, but the protection from the sea during stormy weather makes it worth it--and there’s easy access to the river via boat, making transporting supplies from the ship feasible.

So of course, the game crashed as I was saving the base camp and I had to redo it. I actually like it better this way--there’s even a tent for the doctor!

At the bottom is a lot for when they’re more established and have found a proper place to begin settling. It’ll be at a different location than this tiny spit of land connected to the mainland, I just got impatient and wanted to build. Can’t imagine it’d be good to keep livestock on the ship for longer than necessary.

One whole summer and at least 60 units of stone later...

After some exploration to the nearest high point visible from camp, they discovered a gorgeous view of the valley! 1. No dragons mentioned in legend, and 2. a rock quarry.

The next day the scouting party returned to erect a small shack so they could start gathering resources without exhausting themselves in the summer heat.
