There are plenty of people in cities that are literaly dying for second chance. They would be fierce in protecting what they see as new chance at life. Some of them will maybe need some healing and nurturing, but healthy life in new colony should recover them in no time.Also, we might consider orphanages taking several older children with craftsman training to help out. In time they will consider new colony their only home and would react accordingly.As for location, according to this map there are bluffs overlooking the river and backed with mountain. We could create defensible position there. With grasslands as our granary and pasture. Unless, that is, the river is trafficked by D'Shai. It would be hard to remain undetected.Other location I'd suggest is on the mountain, up smaller river, accross the forest.If the river is used by D'Shai I'd refrain from sending trading vessels unless called via magic. Also, if there will be arcanists with us, we should consider creating teleportation circle for small exchange of goods and men.Of course, unless we get more information on this, final decision will have to wait our arrival there.I'd prefer that colony remains as independant as possible. When colony pays it's debts it should be given freedom to govern itself. There can be some historical preferences, both cultural and in trade agreements, but in general it should be left alone. History teaches us that any colony distanced enough will in time fight for independance. We should prevent that in start by pledging it's independence in future.My belief is that if don't manage independant survival in the first year, no amount of milions will make the colony self-sustainable. Also, there should be steady supplies of new colonists along with merchandise as there will be deaths from accidents and wild life in initial colonists.What will we have as out starting package? I mean in ships and initial supplies. Or it is also in our hands?</blockquote>
