1850, really nifty. December seems like the best, to get that christmas convoy rolling. Also fording should be easier if all the rivers are frozen. I hope you'll cover the importance settlers placed on bringing multiple grandfather clocks.

6 months 7 oxen. For some reason I suspect skimping on supplies might not be very good for our future prospects.Deadmeat5150 posted:have a couple clocks that you take to the very end.

Yeah the supplies were "lost".  I learned how they made coffee in the wild west from a Lucky Luke comic. First you wet half a kg of coffee in a bit of water and boil it for 30 minutes. Then you add a horseshoe. If the horseshoe doesn't float you add more coffee.

This would set a dangerous precedent that ferries, and bridges, are in any way natural or correct. We should not encourage such immoral behavior. Ford it like god intended.

One thing I've always wondered about this journey, what happens when you reach the destination? Do you need money to buy some land? Do they have to build a house from scratch? How do they not starve/freeze to death in winter?

Double-team and continue. Also push the oxen if it doesn't work.chitoryu12 posted:Unfortunately, this wouldn't last. Constant grazing and trampling by passing animals steadily reduced the amount of insulating peat and the water was poisonous, until by the 1860s it was a sandy hole surrounded by animal carcasses.

Well we've already been told what a great idea it is to take shortcuts across deserts. But it would mean not dealing with more mormons. Touch choice. Eh, screw it: Go for the fort.

Black Robe posted:Also I'm fairly sure you use different ropes and chains every time until you run out and can't pick that option any more, I guess instead of coiling them up and putting them back in the wagons afterwards we just leave them on the ground and carry on our merry way.  That's incredibly stupid and wasteful even by today's standards when you can just walk into a store anywhere along the route and just buy some cheap mass produced rope. I don't care anymore just put everything in the cart, including the oxen, and continue full speed down the hill.
