The Refugee to Regent Kingdom Building Challenge.
Introduction
Previous Stage: Stone HamletYou are now a fully established Village, and news of your success is spreading far and wide. The Immigrants are still pouring in, but your building standards are keeping up nicely.
Unfortunately, Village services are stretched thin. It's time to focus on the people, and make sure that they can stay healthy, become educated, and happy.
You have mined deep, and discovered Redstone. You have already come up with a few uses for it, though your top men tried to make a good case to use it as a liquid flavoring instead.
"Happiness is some Redstone in your cup," "Redstone Coffee--start the day out with a jolt," and other such bad catchphrases were eventually abandoned.
More research into its curious properties is probably warranted. Already they have developed two items that use it--the Piston and, after a lab Slime got loose and smashed by a Piston, the Stick Piston.
Maybe they're still upset that their iron boat idea led to too much iron underwater. But they eventually decided to put wheels on it, and call it a Minecart.
In addition, your mystics have been making some amazing breakthroughs. Both Science and Magic are being explored more by their respective experts.
You have also read reports about advances in Minecart Technology, and, while still basic, the potential is there.
In the meantime, you're discovering that you're needing more and more food to feed your rapidly growing population.
your advisors say that you should probably send a few people out to found a new settlement, one that is specifically devoted to feeding your people.
Stage 4 Rules:
From this stage forward you will be building at least 1 Outlier per stage, and most of the time upgrading the Outliers you have built before. Outliers that are close to the Village/City/etc may eventually be subsumed into the Village/City/Capital itself.
From this stage forward, I will be trying to dictate less and less of what *has* to be done, simply because of the sheer amount that must be done. And because being forced to build someone else's vision isn't always fun.
