couple houses on veggies very early on doesnt hurt at all, you just put them in too late to get any good harvests. I did the first 2 houses with veggies and i didnt even need to import meat for the 3 food types.

[@Krowns]

Good call!

[@Lucasaurios]

@@Krowns Ya 1 ox and 2 veggies is the perfect start with the 50 wealth on a new village imo.

[@Krowns]

@@Lucasaurios definitely a very strong start, might be the best one!

Thanks man! I was able to get this achievement last night, thanks to your video. The key is getting the honey going it is almost impossible doing it without going honey/apiaries first, the church is extremely important too for the approval boost (people don’t care so much about being hungry when they have a church to pray for more food lol) then I branched through trading, once I removed the import price it was gg’s from there.

[@Krowns]

yup exactly! glad the video helped!

Chicken Coop gives 2 eggs per month.
The way I did it after owning the game for 3 days did not include bee keeping and I had 100% approval with zero imports by year 3. Instead I got the market stalls perk and started with goats to rush clothing (which is needed on challenging for approval and growth otherwise ggwp).

[@jonblair5470]

It bothers me so much to see people build the market so far from the storehouse and/or granary. They NEED to be right next to each other!! Residents DO NOT go to the market for items!! Items are essentially sent via WiFi as soon as they are stocked. And if the market stall is not right next to the storehouse/granary then the stalls don’t get supplied fast enough. All of your market stalls should be ran by your storehouse/granary workers. If you don’t do this your supply chain will consistently be lacking sufficient supplies

[@Krowns]

both workers and logistics buildings open up stalls, so it will essentially work both ways

[@blablubb4553]

Residents DO go to the market, but only for fetching firewood and taking it home. Watched them do it multiple times. Every other item is beamed right to their houses.

[@RiptideGaming_GXT]

ngl...i tried this challenge and had to stop because the constant threat of starvation during the winter was giving me anxiety. I realized way to late how good veggie gardens are if you build really big plots and scale down the number of houses. then you get massive veggie farms for very few resources.

[@Krowns]

that is very right! plus investing in vegetables gives you a good trade resource as well for those extra coins ;)

[@INFJ-ThaneTr]

I rush 2 goats so I can buy food. 1 leather = 1 bread via the placable bread market stall :)

[@eliash3148]

The challenge is pretty easy once your set up i think but most people just dont border to do it

[@Gelimarr]

thanks

[@Krowns]

no, thank you.

[@UndeadontheCut]

Have you made modifications on this game difficulty or is the latest version different? I don't understand how your approval goes up 10-12% in 2 months without any cloth variety or food variety, copying this set up EXACTLY yields around 42% approval by august everytime I do it, then its just a death spiral without cloth variety. I am assuming the latest version of the game on hardest difficulty has hugely increased negative effects

[@Krowns]

i would guess the difficulty has changed then yeah, did you remember the church?

[@UndeadontheCut]

@@Krowns cheers for the reply, yeah I did, obviously this was a month ago, I think theres been several small patches since, your starting resources are the same as the top difficulty so it must just be a change on the settings in patches, you currently get each month -8 for no church, -8 for no cloth variety, -8 for no fuel (if it rains) as well as -4 if you only have one food variety. regardless, the video helped a lot, I never thought about rushing apiarys, I just finished the achievement an hour ago, just with some significant changes.

[@Krowns]

@@UndeadontheCut aaah yup changes done then, good on you for completing it tho. and yeah i saw no one talking about apiarys so i decided to make a video on it!

[@Mr17Andrew17]

In what mode and on what difficulty did you do this achievement?

[@Krowns]

normal gamemode & hardest difficulty if i remember correctly!

[@Mr17Andrew17]

@@Krowns Normalcy is about restoring peace, right?

[@Krowns]

@@Mr17Andrew17 yes! its the one with the AI on the map.

[@Unni_Havas]

@@Krowns I thought hardest difficulty start you at winter with only 1 year until the first attack?

[@DurhilCZ]

Merchant achiv is one of the easiest
