Cocburns

So, i had an eve run today when i was scrolling around games, trying to get back to elder line unsuccessfully

http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … id=3032398

i seen some human activity and found some missing clay, , cut reeds and then i thought i name myself, abandoning the first kid as i wasn't sure
found a small camp with decaying baskets and some carrot rows, picked them out
and had my second baby
told her that im busy so if its new better quit now
she was following me back to camp but then refused moving when i headed to catch rabbit
so i let her die, she even had hair and ran into some mosquito intentionally, some people can be so dumb, if i stop raising her i don't get anything done, better off without her

i didn't eve needed bellows, i realized later.
was some carrot lines, a snare above us, and a few bowls and plates, nothing fancy, like 10 min of work
i got two irons before my son was born, i forgot to name him, he got me 2 more iron
i put the other son on catching rabbits, he got us 12 furs , i already had my packs before
and the next to stack up the wood, as i made hammer and axe in like 5 minutes

my second daughter was decent, she started making a farm, told her plant on jungle, bottom side, closer to water
and keep it spaced out, she made 2 nice 3x3 berry patches and i put my son, rufus to cut boards

i went out again west, as east had no more iron, and got like 7 iron, the most wolfs i ever seen in a big badland, but decent iron

i had my granddaughter when i arrive back, gave her my seal skin
her mom died soon after losing a backpack i made her from far away threads
also my 15 year old son died somewhere with other pack

i made the first floor tiles on corners of the berry farm
i had no easy way of making a pen, i made most of tools by the end of my life, and grandkid was pretty confident
but i cut off half jungle and even made new axe and shovel

i checked back on the family tree for a few more times
later i was born back gen 20
they kept up my farm structure, someone tried to block off mosquitoes with bones and a few walls, and a lot of milkweed seed
i just made some cooked rabbit and filled the whole jungle, we had like 5 mosquitoes and i walled them off onto 6 tiles

seems that people so afraid of mosquitoes that they put oven and pen outside of the warm areas, and most of farm was also outside, instead of making some walls. they had some dogs, paper, planted trees and a fast road into the savanna, there was a way better spot north, with tons of ponds near a jungle, wasn't even touched, and either the clay, they had decent amount of plates and bowls tho, as we had a swamp under us
they had some small hospital

it was kind of a mess
as i was a guy, i had easy life, did what i wanted, took me like 15 min to block off mosquitoes, then i burned the excess milkweed seed (honestly rabbit bones are so much faster and they decay in a bit, if you are fast enough you can just push out those pesky suckers
told one kid to plant wheat, was kind of boring for people i guess, cause we already had 3 boxes full of pies and everything full of farms, compost
the industrial part wasn't too strong, we had 1 newcommen pump, 2 cistern, one upgraded cart and they barely started the newcommen hammer
no cars or radios

honestly i like jungle cities much better as they cannot make errors with housing or farms, yet they always tend to make everything outside of jungle and run into the same mosquito over and over, i wonder if i would have been there earlier and do the same thing, how would have progressed
we could have cleared that jungle and make a lot of nice things, but seems like no big cites are made without stone (badlands or desert right next to it)

they had only a few baskets so i continued the wheat farming and left a ton of threshed wheat behind
overall lasted much longer than average camps

Playing OHOL optimally is like cosplaying a cactus: stand still and don't waste the water.

I was love cockburn, very fun village to live in! Somebody released a bear on the village, the last female took it on, she died but managed to kill the bear. I was the only woman left so I was sitting on a jungle tile surrounded by yum food, lol
Had a girl right before I went infertile, gave her a rose saying it was a blessing from Jason to have more babies. Lived long enough to see my granddaughter. Pretty good life overall big_smile Those 3x3 berry bushes were so useful too. Tired of having to run through giant berry fields

Re: Cocburns

I was in that village too. I was Jenny Cockburn in the 5th generation.

I especially liked that the berry farm was in all jungle, making it easier to not get the berry farm on cooldown. The village was kind of noob infested when I was there, since they constantly went into either desert or jungle when having yellow fever even when I told them to go to a cold spot. I guess some people will never learn. The village got sheep in my generation, I remember helping on creating the pen while someone else got the moufflon. Overall it was pretty good life, it was just unfortunate that I died anticlimatically of starvation due to a disconnect before I found a successor to my knife.


For the time being, I think we have enough content.
