Re: So is it actually possible for a town to progress into higher tech?

It looks like we have veteran players who know what to do, but no way for them to teach other people?

Let's assume the hierarchy system will actually work, and Alice, a veteran player, will become everyone's leader. What would be the best way to organize a town full of noobs? Again, assuming that they only know basics but are willing to do what she tells them to do.

If ~30 minutes of teaching is not enough, and she'll get more done by doing everything on her own, then maybe we need to make training easier. What would be the perfect tool for teaching people really fast?

Simple orders so those are easily understood. Like

1. We gonna build a wall gather big rocks

2. Get stones for cisterns

3. Big pen underwork, get sticks

4. We are improving our road network, get flats

5. We need more carts, get log and rope

6. Alert low on water, get rubber/buckets/etc

7. Trying to connect to other familys, spread out!

8. Huge engine works under progress need iron.

and so on...

I guess we also have ~0 veteran players with management skills right now.

This made me lol... Adjusting for inflation, correcting for past YTD averages, adding a buffer for shrinkage, approximately... 0

Its not that people wouldn't have the skills, but the game as it is now just doesnt support it. Its constant dance on hunger (either you or the pupil), you cant write long senteces as a kid and stuff is pretty complicated and the vocabulary is vast.

Usually you get twice as much done by just doing it yourself than trying to recruit people on your cause.

If the hierarchy orders shit works half as well as it seems it might then we might have at least an interim solution

I'd also love to see town notice boards to help coordinate jobs and warn about shortages.

In order to teach players, players have to be willing to listen.  That's the real challenge.

This is a really good idea, btw.  I heartily support it!

I'm explicitly assuming that the hierarchy system works. In that case your followers will listen, by definition :)

They will hear, but will they actually listen?
