Dawn of Man....


Mission accomplished; Right before a cascade failure, just like last time.

My village popped 150 population just before I had the roundhouses needed; But the achievement appeared as the last hut upgrade completed. Then the 150th villager promptly got a disease and died. 


Still mission accomplished. All scenario challenges unlocked.




That's when it all really went downhill.

Having spent a good bit of time with this map/village and it's struggles I wanted to salvage it and finish off the remaining tech unlocks.


In trying to get a handle the situation the population went down from 150 to 50 in a year. All the while popups bringing new disasters to attention.

Winter hit killing a lot via hypothermia even with a lot of surplus wool and extra wool clothing in the wilderness.

A large raider attack then disrupted activities and killed villagers.


Diseases also started to hit the population, human and animal.


75% of crops then failed where no crops had failed before(had good mix and spacing).

With no farmed crop/straw in stock the animals started starving and dying.

Overworked villagers? Nope; Active jobs was constant at 45%(88% when planting)  


The year went on and for the first time villagers started dropping of dehydration even with many wells and an entire freaking river beside them.

Cascade failure for sure.

I abandoned my attempts and returned to a save about two thirds the way into the hut upgrades. Once an achievement unlocks for the map reverting to a previous save doesn't undo what you have unlocked. So I'll potter away and unlock the tech from there keeping an eye on all going's on...
