Now the map has been generated and the player can pan around (WASD or mouse) and examine their new lands. They must now select a starting [[territory]]. The player can only choose from territories that contain the necessary starting resources ({{Item|resource=berries}} and {{Item|resource=stone}}); valid territories will appear surrounded by white borders, which will highlight in purple when the mouse hovers over them. The selected territory will effectively become the 'center' of the village. Refer to the main article above for more information on Territories. | |||

The second building to place will be the [[Builder's Workshop]]. This building is the only one that builds itself instantly; hereafter, all new buildings will require [[Builder|Builders]], [[Resources]] and time to be completed. So after building the Builder's Workshop, the player should assign one or two workers to this building by clicking on the building to open the building menu, and clicking the small plus sign to add one or more workers. These workers will be the Builders that build future buildings. | The second building to place will be the [[Builder's Workshop]].

All of these buildings will be necessary for the villager's development, and most of them can be built using the starting resources. To build the Sawmill however, the player will first need to mine some {{Item|resource=stone}} at the Stonecutter Camp. '''Remember''', nearly all buildings will require the player to assign some [[Villagers]] to work there and carry out the functions of the building. | All of these buildings will be necessary for the villager's development, and most of them can be built using the starting resources.

By this stage, the player will have a functioning settlement in which workers are mining {{Item|resource=stone}}, cutting {{Item|resource=wood}}, collecting {{Item|resource=water}}from the well, gathering {{Item|resource=berries}}, and buying berries at the market stall. At this point it is a good idea to place some Residential zone. | By this stage, the player will have a functioning settlement in which workers are mining {{Item|resource=stone}}, cutting {{Item|resource=wood}}, collecting {{Item|resource=water}} from the well, gathering {{Item|resource=berries}}, and buying berries at the market stall.

Residential zone marks an area as suitable for building houses. Once Residential zone is painted, foundations for new houses will start to appear, and Builders will spend some of their working hours building these houses. Tier 1 [[House|Houses]] cost {{Item|resource=wood|value=20}} to build. | Residential zone marks an area as suitable for building houses.

Housing, as well as water, food and other things, are [[Needs]] that villagers will need to fill during their free time in order to be happy. If the player starts to run out of food for example, this Need will go unfulfilled and Villagers will get increasingly angry, and may even leave the settlement if the situation continues. | Housing, as well as water, food and other things, are [[Needs]] that villagers will need to fill during their free time in order to be happy.

By this stage, the player will have a busy hamlet in which building materials and food are being produced, and Villagers' Essential Needs (Water, Rustic Food and Housing) are satisfied. The player now has more freedom to choose the direction that the village's development takes; they may wish to investigate the Estate paths of the Progression Tree, and consider building a [[Manor House]], [[Monastery]] or [[Keep]], or focus on developing essential industries for [[Trade]]. It is a good idea to concentrate on establishing a form of reliable income as soon as possible. | == Next Steps == | ||
