Expansion: Put some resources into making better and safer roads throughout the settlements, and make more for better connectivity.
Swarms: Dig massive trenches with no food for the beetles to eat so they die off before reaching farms. also fill these trenches with herbs and poisons to deter and kill any that attempt to enter the trenches.
Vrigorix: southern expansion is occuring, and much of this newly settled space is being used for farmland, the soil is poor and dry, making the land poor for farming but still usable. no metals have been smelted yet, and their ores are only used as currency. underground stoor rooms are being dug. government members wear official garb allowing them to be recognised from the commoners.
great amounts of clay is being dug from riverbanks.
many stone quarry sites are being dug. vast amounts of forest is being felled to create a great wood stockpile. many new silver mines are being established, and a great amount of silver is being hauled from the earth. finer silver jewellery and tools with silver heads have been created.
eastern expansion is being prioritised. mineral scouting parties are exploring within and around the borders.
Rubidianlabs|the civilisation: new information: despite your new proximity little more information is known about the mysterious civilisation. their hunting parties and scouts have been seen fequently near and even inside the borders, but these flee when neared or else fire on those approaching. any attempts at approaching their borders are met mith hostile force with few surviving to return.
Loiosh42|land: all available land has been taken up by farmland and tree plantations, population growth is in danger of surpassing the now significantly slowed agricultural growth.
