Kill the Wizard First
2394 IC, somewhere in the Drakwald
Ghur howls in Arda's ears as a heady mix of fear and aggression floods her thoughts. With spear in hand, she desperately fends off a gor leader as its minions bear down on the guards of the baron's daughter she was assigned to escort. The scent of filth and bloodlust overwhelms her sense of smell as the heavily muscled beastman swings its crude axe at her again and again, and it takes all of Arda's focus to keep moving as instinct screams at her to kill it kill it kill it. Her legs burn with exertion as she manoeuvres around trees and over rocks to keep it from closing as she stabs out with her spear, drawing blood with every third strike where its armour doesn't protect it.
Instinct lets her move without thinking, frequent practice drills having turned martial techniques into automatic action. At last she scores a pair of telling blows, first stabbing through the wrist of its weapon hand and then plunging her spear through a weak spot in its chest armour. It dies too slowly though, and before she can react, it leaps forward and tackles her to the ground. The beastman opens its mouth to tear out her throat, only for someone to yank its head back and punch a sword through its neck.
The guard helps Arda up and the wizard apprentice prepares to rejoin the fight, only to find the rest of the assailants dead or gone, the guards having prevailed over the lesser beastmen. A cantrip lets Arda shake off the blood that spilled on her so she could look presentable when she rejoins the group. When they reach the coaching inn, she boasts of her valour as she drowns the last of her jitters in alcohol. The next day, her master arrives and, once they have privacy, hugs her apprentice and talks to her about the fight.
"'Kill the wizard first'," Herfjötur summarises, "it's what our enemies do when they fear our power. I'm impressed by how well you applied your training, apprentice. You kept your cool and survived against a stronger fighter until your allies rescued you. All your hard work paid off."
"I'm alive after all," says Arda as she bristles at the praise.
"That you are," says the master wizardess, clapping the smaller southern woman on the shoulder. "Now come, Ulric willing we'll make it back to Middenheim before the solstice. If Old Bloodbark's in, I reckon I could twist his arm into getting you something nice before you head off to Lustria."
2395 IC, Preisdorf
After telling the governor about what happened, Arda goes through her belongings and withdraws a healing potion, Bloodbark's gift, swaddled in cloth to cushion it. She'd planned to save it for later, but she can't use her sling with one arm and otherwise deeply dislikes having a broken bone. Arda downs the potion and immediately the pain radiating from her elbow transmutes into intense but painless heat.
I'll cool it on the omakes now. Been making too much.

Seeding. Month 1 - Week 2. 01/6/2395 IC
You are Flynn Ryder, Governor of the new Imperial Colony of Preisdorf and it is up to you to Decide where your people's destiny lies. In fortune, or in death upon this hostile land?
Yesterday has simply not been your day, with the debacle of Klaus's kidnapping by Pirates (of all things, pirates) fresh in your mind along with the confusion of Else's apparent magic and Imilar's confusingly complex relationship to the Centaur. You bury your face in Rapunzel's bosum as dawn's light breaks upon your room, marking the start of a grand and hopeful new week...
You deeply appreciate your elfven lover's lips, her cuddles, her warmth and comfort in this utterly strange time.
You have 5 Manpower Available.
You have 2 Personal Actions to spend.
You have 5 Advisor Actions available.
You have a treasury of 139.5 Mo
You have 32 Food in Storage (rounding down). Base Spoilage rate of 5%
You have 16 Construction Materials available.
You have 21 Building slots available, 6 are Flooded. 12 are Forested.
You have a trade route with the Centorean Glade-Stewards exchanging 2 Food for 4 Money per week.

Use
-[][Manpower] if you want to take manpower out of any buildings for this week.
Except where listed, Building benefits -Except for resource outputs- do not stack.
Research Options from last week.
You may choose One.
[] [Research] Shelters. Dug-in basements for the bunkhouses, lined with wooden beams and ventilated with modified drainage pumps, these bunkers provide a safe place even if the house above is lit aflame. Unlocks the 'Bunker' upgrade for the Colonial Bunkhouses, reducing Population Losses from Looting and Raiding by 10%, or 25% if all Colonial Bunkhouses are upgraded.
[] [Research] Armoury. With the smithy up and running the production of arms and armour is possible, though outfitting the militia with consistent and standardized weapons will take a dedicated place to store, make and maintain them. Unlocks the Armoury Blueprint, a structure that increases the damage dealt by Colony attacks and sally-outs by +5 (currently 1d10+7)
[] [Research] Earthworks: DIfficult as it is to dig, the Lustrian soil's claggy nature makes for ruinously difficult berms and ditches once they are painstakingly made. Unlocks the 'Earthworks' upgrade for Palisade Walls, reducing the damage to defense HP taken by 20%

Oh this looks like it has potential. Also QM, if you want a book recommendation that I think will help, look up the omnibus of "The Adventures of Florence and Lorenzo.". It's about a Bretonnian minor noble and his manservant getting into some pretty entertaining antics, the first of which is a sojourn to Lustria to avoid a debt collector AND get the loot to pay it off.
I am also heartened to see that people are taking to heart that you don't touch the golden plaques because the moment you do Geography becomes OPTIONAL.
gonna make up a plan but wanted to make this post now that I'm done catching up/lurking.

====================================================================================================================
Logic for the Plan
So for the construction I initially put up a wishlist that had 9 manpower needing so I had to triage and this is the result.
The viewing tower I consider vital because what you don't know can kill you IRL, let alone in a setting like warhammer fantasy, so the sooner we get the chance to have a heads up on the event to be able to roll with the punches, the better. We got a spell yeeter, let's take full advantage.
Edit: Ended up putting the upgrade for the tower as well due to that increased chance for events and event based quests, which I think the Klaus stuff includes, and we'll want to ensure that events go our way as much as possible regardless.
Bunkhouse because we live in junglerot central so best to get our people some quality shelter, also the sooner we get that up and running the sooner we can put our research in Shelters to good use so we don't suffer from raids as much. Sadly the Bunkhouse costed a weee bit too much in building materials and since we have 2 of them, not as vital. Still want to get more so we can just move people into them vs having them tenting.
The forester's lodge ended up winning out of the three food options I wanted to put (the others being manaan shrine and rice paddies) because it provides the most food thanks to all our forested tiles AND synergizes well with the nice item on the list. It also provides money which is important.
The next item is the Lumberyard, a building that will mesh well with our forester's lodge and get us vital construction materials we'll need to keep being able to build. Like the Bunkhouse I wanted to do this but sadly needed to adjust it for other options due to building material concerns.
Edit Ended up being able to add the ambassador's home which I consider important as without diplomacy we're just not going to last long term AND it should hopefully help with the lizardmen expeditions if only a little bit.
I was also able to put in the watchtowers a turn sooner than I anticipated, which will be very helpful for the future by both boosting our defense and attack AND synergizing with the forester's lodge to reduce surprise attack effectiveness.
Assuming that the advisor action takes place immediately, I put in the granary, as the less food waste we have, the better, especially in an environment like Lustria. My first impression was that it would take place next turn but Im willing to hope for the better. The downside is the risk that it fails and we don't get the manpower but that's why I have flynn on it.
For Research, shelters. Odds are the dice are going to have us be caught offguard by a raid at some point so the less we suffer from them the better.
For flynn actions, setting up a diplomatic expedition to Itza is imo vital to our colony's survival because we NEED the approval of the lizardmen if we're going to be more than a quick slash and burn cash grab, and Itza has some HEAVY weight to it that could make all the difference.
We also need to get back Klaus and imo, we cannot afford to fight magic pirates right now. It burns me to pay tribute vs spending in defense but we don't have the military yet. Plus they want to trade and we could use that too. We're on our own in a lot of ways so we need to pick our battles.
For the advisors
Tying in with our expedition, sending a diplomatic offer to Itza seems the best bet, we don't have any serious issues in our colony atm and we need time to build up with the Centaurs, let alone the skinks of Itza, so better to just see what we can do to stay on the local good side of Itza.
For Martial, we need all bodies working on building as much as possible so gathering militia seems a nogo, we don't have any serious defenses yet to fortify, and training seems like it'd be useful but we need to keep our perimeter secure as we don't have a lot of watching measures available.
For stewardship, we got limited manpower so we need to use our advisor to boost it up asap as the more we do it early on, the more it will hopefully let us snowball by getting even one more building done than we otherwise would have, for example being able to build the Tavern this turn as i wanted to, or the Rice paddies or Shrine of manaan.
For intrigue, might as well get started on preventative measures since we really don't have anything else to point our advisor at although I am open to suggestions.
For Learning, we GOTTA keep on top of the disease front imo, we are too small to be able to afford to NOT take really good care to avoid disease outbreaks.
Put our mage on making sure that the expedition goes as well as possible, also might make a diff for preventing people from poking things that REALLY shouldn't be pokified.
For Socials, i went with getting as much info out of our local centaur ambassador for things to go well with Itza and making sure we get the extra manpower from the stewardship action.
Also turns out i mistook how the social works so I added in cuddling with Rapunzel and seeing what the high elves have on the region.
Hope this format works.

====================================================================================================================
Logic for the Plan
So for the construction I initially put up a wishlist that had 9 manpower needing so I had to triage and this is the result.
The viewing tower I consider vital because what you don't know can kill you IRL, let alone in a setting like warhammer fantasy, so the sooner we get the chance to have a heads up on the event to be able to roll with the punches, the better. We got a spell yeeter, let's take full advantage.
Edit: Ended up putting the upgrade for the tower as well due to that increased chance for events and event based quests, which I think the Klaus stuff includes, and we'll want to ensure that events go our way as much as possible regardless.
The forester's lodge ended up winning out of the three food options I wanted to put (the others being manaan shrine and rice paddies) because it provides the most food thanks to all our forested tiles AND synergizes well with the nice item on the list. It also provides money which is important.
Edit Ended up being able to add the ambassador's home which I consider important as without diplomacy we're just not going to last long term AND it should hopefully help with the lizardmen expeditions if only a little bit.
I was also able to put in the watchtowers a turn sooner than I anticipated, which will be very helpful for the future by both boosting our defense and attack AND synergizing with the forester's lodge to reduce surprise attack effectiveness.

This quest has spoiled me, because 2 days without an update left me missing it. It's so fun. Seriously though there's no problem if you want to slow the pace down for whatever reason.
I'm happy to see the alphabetisation! Though I think the Colonial Barracks and Longbow Militia should be taken off the lists since we can only have one of each.
Definitely want to rescue Klaus. We have the perfect build for this kind of mission, from the Adventurers we hired to the Martial Advisor on our payroll to Flynn's own skillset. They have booty that should be our booty. Also, the vampire creeps me the hell out and I want her to cease in every way. EDIT: We also have a wizard, which is pretty handy.

We already have enough bunkhouses to house everyone.
This plan is invalid. Social plans are pure social. For gameplay actions, you'll want to use the gameplay plan. You're also missing a second social action.

I don't truly want to slow down, I'm mostly being pushed too by my wish to keep things fairly balanced and interesting. Coming up with quests and events is hard effort yannow?
Good point! I shall edit the list.
Than you for the recommendation! I'll give that a read, and haha yeah I'm glad that most of the voters have been thus-far averse to grabbing at suspicious cursed gold.

Most Lustrian colonies fail, and we're on our way to that fate because our Money expenses are ludicrously higher than our Money income. We need to solve that as soon as we can.
Buildings are naturally part of that, but we built our character to be an explorer, not a manager. A big part of our Money income will be and has to be from expeditions and adventurer actions. With the colony set up, we should start on that.

-[X] [Imilar] 'Signs of the Asrai'
-[X] [Stewardship] Improve Construction (Drainage Pump)
-[X] [Learning] Investigate/Combat Plague
-[X] [Magic] Aid Rescue Klaus!
The main thrust of this plan is to make us money, particularly through quests and expeditions, which is what the tavern, booths, and smelter are for.
Forester's Lodges give the highest ratio of Money income to Money/Manpower upkeep, on top of providing Food, Construction Materials, and protection. I can't build more than one due to manpower and construction material constraints, but together with the smelter and lumber-yard, it'll provide us with a total of 7 construction materials next turn. With the manpower upkeep we'll accrue this turn, we simply won't be able to build as much, so I think 7 will be adequate for our needs. Though I am hoping that ore/metal expeditions give us construction materials too.
The Shallyan Clinic is because of this:
The reason why I want to continue talking to the Glade-Stewards is this:
[X] Plan: Life in Lustria
-[X] [Social] The Advisors are always up to counsel.
--[X] Rapunzel. Talk about adjusting to life in Lustria, and hopes for the future.
-[X] [Social] One of the Adventurers.
--[X] Pandora the Pioneer. Talk about adventures, including her Lustrian adventures.
I think this is an appropriate social plan for this week, now after Flynn and everyone else have settled in. Since we're going to start going on expeditions now or soon, which will be a big part of Flynn's life, talking to someone who has experience in that would be good.
[X] [Research] Shelters
EDIT: Put Flynn, Gus, and Else on the goblins since Quests are for adventurers while Expeditions are for Flynn. Johanna will still be there to help the adventurers out. I don't think we have to worry about any Intrigue stuff right now, so no reason not to get Else there, especially since she's the one who got us the lead and this relates to her goals.
EDIT2: Replaced a forester's lodge with a pair of drainage pumps because we only have 3 non-forested, non-flooded slots left. We need to dry out some of those flooded slots if we want to continue expanding. That does mean taking the Stewardship advisor off Educate Colonists, but between Rapunzel and the Shallyans, I think we'll be ok on the disease front.
EDIT3: Added another quest since each quest takes a max of 5 adventurers.

The Shallyan Clinic is because of this:
This is an early warning and we really shouldn't sleep on it. Besides the issues these maladies cause, especially if they get worse, our medical system is already overloaded, which means we'll be in big trouble if a more serious disease comes along.
The reason why I want to continue talking to the Glade-Stewards is this:
If we improve our relationship with them, we'll be able to get more trade with them. Since they have an Envoy so close by, they're ideal trade partners. This is only the second week, so there's no big rush to talk to the Anacoans or Itzans, especially since the distance means that trade isn't as easy.

Just a heads up, I removed the third Forester's Lodge and Adventurer's Booths after I found out that we didn't have enough Construction Materials for them.
I'm a strong advocate for a viewing tower, which is why I included it in my plan for the previous turn, but best to do it next week because we'll get a reroll this turn with or without the tower.
There's no need for this in your plan, since it only uses 5 manpower.

adjusted my plan for the assumption that the advisor action gives the manpower now. also fixed the socials.
I have many concerns about the plan jungle booty, not in the least it is, imo, chasing at nothing and going nowhere. We're going to need to clear the forests so doubling down on forester lodges is going to be a short term boost at best, the dwarven smelter is good but that's better done next turn after we get more of the basics set up, same for the shrine. The tavern is nice but we have more immediate needs to take care of. Food, lodging and security and THEN we get the booze out.
Picking a fight with the pirates this soon on our colony's founding is just begging for regular sea raids assuming we even pull it off. We would be removing a potential trade partner that we can ill afford atm, and have no assurance that the heroes we can send can handle the piratess that took him on.
It also has no martial action at all, which considering we DO need to at least keep an eye on our perimeter is foolish to the point of self sabotage.
Educate isn't bad at least but that's something to do after we've gotten everything set up so that we aren't basically living in tents on what we can hunt and fish. First things first, getting walls up for all of our people and a secure line of all resources before we worry about homework.
The pursuing the alliance with the centaurs is immensely jumping the guns as we still need to interact with them a lot more, learn more of their goals, their priorities, and their needs to be sure we CAN work with them long term for an alliance. and tbh, making an alliance with them is moot if we do not get in good with the real rulers of the continent.
We just got handed the chance to make first contact with the lizardmen peacefully, something even the High friggin Elves botched if you know the lore.
The socials are meh, mainly due to either being something that Flynn and Rapunzel can and would be doing offscreen, and the poking at the adventurer about said adventures imo is superceded by contact with locals that have existed here for centuries and the chance to, I will say it again, make good with the lizardmen.
Say what you will about my plan but at least it IS a coherent and logically laid out plan that sets things up for the short term AND long term future.
I urge the thread to consider this in their decision making.

This is still an invalid social plan. It only has 1 socal action (needs 2), cojoining is a Personal action, and Magic boosts should be placed in the Advisor actions.

We already built a granary, and your plan spends more construction materials than we have.
My plan's goals are directed and straightforward, based on a problem I identified here and then reiterated in the plan post. We need Money, my plan gets us Money, as well as accomplishing other important goals.
The Forester's Lodges provide a bounty of resources and benefits which we need now and in the future. We have many building slots available to us, including Forested slots, which the Forester's Lodges don't touch since they're Jungle instead of Forested. The Dwarven Smelter provides us Money and Construction Materials, which are the basics you say we need, as well as a means to profit from expeditions and quests, which is what we optimised our character for. The Tavern provides Money, which we need to not go broke within the next two months, and will let us build Adventurer's Booths later, which is very good for us since, again, we optimised our character for expeditions and quests.
We have enough food income to cover our entire population and enough in storage to feed our population for three weeks with no food income at all. We already built housing for everyone in the first week. For security, again, we got Colonial Barracks and Longbow Militia in the first week. I think you should investigate the actions we did on the first week, because much of your reasoning seems invalid in the face of them.
The vampire we're dealing with is very nasty and I want nothing to do with her. We can expect our adventurers to be able to deal with her and her men. She only has a dozen or so crew, which is well within what our adventurers and wizard advisor can handle. We overstocked on Martial heroes to deal with this exact sort of problem, and now it's time to reap the benefits of our good decisions.
We are presently dealing with diseases that are overloading our nominal medical system, so the Shallya shrine and medical actions are fully appropriate right now. A wall is good later, but our barracks will suffice until then. I agree that we should get resources, but my plan is better than your plan at getting us those resources.
The action Secure Alliances does exactly what you say we should do: interact with them more and learn more about them. It's the "boost relationship" action, nothing more.
Making good with the lizardmen is good, but this is the second week, talking to Itza really isn't urgent. The vast majority of colonies don't interact with Itza even after years of existence. We'll talk to them in due time, but right now we need resources and to deepen our relationship with people who are loads more relevant to the fate of our colony.
Flynn and Rapunzel might talk about the things in my social plan off-screen, but I want to see it on-screen. I like them and want to see them talk about stuff. Similarly, unlike the locals, Pandora is a fellow adventurer, so having Flynn exchange stories with her would be fun, and more directly mirrors the Expeditions he'll be going on.
EDIT: Speaking of things that'll happen off-screen, I'm very sure that we'll scrape as much information on Itza as we can before we head over there as part of the normal actions. Choosing social actions to do that just means we'll see that scraping on-screen rather than off-screen, and I'd prefer to read about other things.
EDIT 2: I've swapped out a forester's lodge for a pair of drainage pumps to get us more building slots.

Not really, as these are not a large army that the Militia could actually be mobilized to fight, they are like a Dozen-some assholes hiding in a hidden cave that is two days walk through the jungle away from the colony.
A large force of militia would be too unwieldy, and there is every chance that the smuggling pirates would either just leave, or that they would use their ship's cannons and swivel-guns to blast apart the militia as they came down the narrow cave in 3s and 2s.
