The Tale of Edran, Scourge of the Boars | Farthest Frontier - Part 1 (Settlement Survival Game)
660Farthest Frontier returns, this time in series form, as we set up the lovely settlement of Geekvale! We meet a new Hero in Edran, our hunter, who frequently leaps into battle with the boars who live close to our settlement! A dab hand with a bow and also pretty nifty with a blade, Edran provides much food for the settlement and also keeps those pesky boars at bay.
Our starting location is quite different to last time because we seem to be up in the mountains, which does have some pros and cons. The ground is a tad uneven, which makes building a little bit trickier, but there are some wonderful goodies up in the mountains, such as iron, coal and, very excitingly, gold!
Our settlement grows well, helped by a fantastic road structure which includes a ring road around the town centre, and we're able to get quite a few homes set up and even some more of the fancier buildings, such as a tannery and the compost yard. This does mean that some poor person has to take on the job of the nightsoilman... I don't envy them.
Also we struggle to get our field set up, we make use of building work areas properly and we realise that boars contain an awful lot of meat...
NOTE: This is the Early Access version of the game.
