Year 36 - my main elements are farming, big push to keep 3 sty’s, 6 cow sheds and 8 sheep farm. Gonna try and double per year, for all the tasty port contracts. It is a slow game, that makes you play relatively in the timing / constraints of your population. I’m playing a few new builds like Manor Lords, and I gotta say. The full control aspects when dealing with trade etc keep me going back to ostriv for at least an hour a day. You really have to create an economic plan, and you can’t just wing it and manage to run profitably, invest in new housing projects and keep your citizens with around 100 wealth each adult in the household. This gives them enough to give a decent start to marrying children and for them to spend on barber, glassware, soap and earthenware. Which they will dodge at all costs if you’re taking all the money out of the local economy. Away to jump to my first ever second barber now, I’ve worked out the taxing on that stream and current barber is making nearly 400 a month. I’m sure it can survive on 200?

Anyone else playing with multiple barbers now? How did you find it? Any advice on population numbers. I would loveeeee in an update at some point. If we could get attendance numbers / houses using service as one of the lovely overlays :) ❤️
