Hi everyone-

Just a quick note on buildings in the settlement. Buildings took a really long time to get started in the times that ME is supposed to mirror. While it makes sense that some of the settlers will have possibly started on more permanent housing (only in wood, not stone), no buildings will be all the way up yet. For now, everyone is living in tents and/or wagons. They have been doing this for a long time and are used to it.

Also, the supplies of stone will not have arrived yet, so, while the dwarves might be practicing their skills in the meantime, they won't be working with the actual stone for the buildings. Maybe they could carve on a boulder just to keep their skills up.

So, to reiterate, no buildings are up yet. The town hall will be the first building completed. Any discussions of ongoing buildings should be clear about the fact that they are made of wood. Just to give you an idea about timeline, the first of the stone buildings will likely be completed in a year or so. That is for the less complicated housing, etc. Warehouses will likely always be wooden. The Dwarves are there long term, they have a long road ahead of them for building.

Once the attack is made, Borgand will split the men of the settlement into teams for felling trees, building the wall, building housing and guard duty. The women will likely help with the building and may start planting as well. By the time the game is over everyone will have a wooden house and the wall will be up. The stone buildings will have been started by the dwarves, as well.

I hope this makes things clearer. Thanks everyone!
