Hello Hive Gamers! Today I bring you the 40th chapter of my hardcore Townsmen run. While my builder townnies were busy putting the finishing touches on the new southern expansion, I decided to focus my personal attention on a less glamorous but utterly crucial task: collecting taxes and repairing a massive batch of damaged buildings.
Actually, on paper, maintenance sounds like a simple chore, but in practice, you literally have to review structures building by building, tapping the interface to check their condition and pay for the repairs. Normally, basic buildings only cost a few Talers to fix depending on how battered they are. However, because I have upgraded several of my key structures to level 2 now, footing the repair bill requires advanced materials like stone, tools, and wooden planks.
In addition to managing the repairs, I went around collecting a huge pile of accumulated taxes from the residential houses. To boost my capital even further, I welcomed the traveling merchant and sold him a massive stockpile of tailored garments produced locally. Unfortunately, I could not hoard the profits; I had to reinvest almost all of that gold into buying hops, wheat, and flour, since those essential agricultural goods cannot be produced natively in our frozen climate.
Furthermore, I managed to finish repairing dozens of buildings, some of which were even starting to catch fire spontaneously due to severe lack of maintenance. The harsh reality of this map is that its freezing theme and relentless blizzards impose a persistent negative passive effect that gradually wears down houses, market plazas, warehouses, and everything else in between.
Nevertheless, the immediate maintenance task is finally completed, and the infrastructure is safe for now. I know this won't be a permanent fix because the weather will keep damaging the settlement, so I will have to schedule more systematic repair runs very soon. For now, the city looks polished, the economy is stable, and we are ready for the next phase of growth.
隆Hola Gamers de Hive! Hoy les traigo el cap铆tulo 40 de mi partida hardcore de Townsmen. Mientras los townnies alba帽iles terminaban de construir los nuevos edificios al sur, me enfoqu茅 en otra tarea igual de vital: cobrar los impuestos y reparar un mont贸n de edificios da帽ados.
En esencia es algo sencillo, pero en la pr谩ctica debes revisar estructura por estructura e ir pulsando los botones para verificar el estado y pagar la reparaci贸n. Com煤nmente, los edificios b谩sicos solo piden unos cuantos taleros dependiendo de qu茅 tan maltratados est茅n; sin embargo, como ya he mejorado un par al nivel 2, ahora toca costear el arreglo con piedra, herramientas y tablas de madera.
Adem谩s, recolect茅 un mont贸n de impuestos que ten铆a acumulados en las casas y, para reunir m谩s dinero fresco, le vend铆 al mercader una enorme cantidad de telas confeccionadas en nuestros talleres. No obstante, tuve que invertir la mayor parte de esas ganancias en comprar l煤pulo, trigo y harina, ya que esos bienes no se producen aqu铆 debido a las limitaciones del terreno.
Consecuentemente, termin茅 de reparar muchos edificios que estaban al l铆mite. Algunos incluso estaban sufriendo principios de incendio debido a la falta de mantenimiento prolongado. Y es que este mapa, con su tem谩tica helada y sus ventiscas constantes, tiene un efecto pasivo negativo que debilita y destruye progresivamente las casas, plazas, almacenes y dem谩s estructuras.
Sin embargo, por ahora la tarea de rescate est谩 completada y la aldea luce impecable. S茅 que esto no es definitivo y que el clima seguir谩 haciendo de las suyas, as铆 que tendr茅 que programar m谩s jornadas de mantenimiento muy pronto. Mantener una ciudad en modo hardcore exige estar en todos los detalles, y seguiremos trabajando duro para asegurar la prosperidad de nuestra gente.
