While he is with you, he will translate and scribe our knowledge for you. Ragnar: As I said, Harald is a skilled scribe. Chest thumping around the Town Hall all day.) Well, I'm not at all sure that's necess. But you build another settlement, then Harald can come to your lands as emissary. So, what, Harald knows how to do blessings? Harald ( thumps chest): Yggdrasil gut tree! He has learned your language and is a skilled scribe.

( Of course.) So I build another settlement for you, then I can get a blessing? Ragnar: We will require many more settlements. Ragnar: It will only grow with heavenly blessings. Have to see if I can trade up for some fertilizer.

So, Ragnar said it would grow to be a mighty tree with many benefits. Hope to not need to buy another expansion. I will need space to put down the Mead Hall, but it doesn't have to complete. After that, spamming Old Willows for the 1200 diplomacy. A third axe smith will further hustle things along, and satisfy the end requirement of six goods buildings. When the mead finishes up, the mead brewery will get axed. Another expansion would be 9 cycles of wool. A cycle costs 1,000 coins, so 59,000 coins. They take 8 hours to build, but the 2 clan houses will provide almost as much population as all 6 huts.Īt this point I need to complete the tech tree:Ī cycle is a four hour production of five goods. The best part is that it came on a 8 hour wool production overnight, so 40 instead of 10! This enabled me to buy an extra expansion so I could put down 2 clan houses after unlocking them. I got my first x4! It appears as a larger gold 'x4' floating up after the normal production amount. With the x4 bonus chance ramping up, that should even help make the really tight deadlines doable.Īnd the sound of a wool farm starting up? BAAAAAA! Planning ahead is very key, so at this point it seems like a good idea to plan exactly what I will have to end the settlement with, buy the expansions needed, and push to the end.Īt this point, I'm a bit over a week from starting, so I feel pretty confident that I can hit first deadlines without the pedal to the metal approach in future runthroughs. The next expansion will be slated for a wool farm to drive more expansions, even though I really need axes for tech expansion (my old willow is over 80% axes).

The larger size of the wool farm and mead brewery squeezed out some shacks (no longer needed because they also need less population), and a hut and market went into the two new expansions. Finally had to bite the bullet and deal with the expansions with the nasty impediments.
