If we allow children of farmers and foresters and loggers to grow into men without any knowledge of their history we will degrade into another border land with harsh men and more then little violent with strength of arms as a rule.Besides, school may have formal education of farmers and foresters and miners and all other needed craftsmen, it doesn't have to be philosophy, magic and art only.As it will be unclaimed land, I don't believe it will be problem for colony to handle so much. I repeat the caveat that colony is exempt from taxes for five years. Initial military force should be as small as possible, all men going there should be given some basic training, but we shouldn't consider having large armed forces that would only stand aroung guarding the colony from as yet unknown threats.For initial housing we can use natural caverns or groves of trees. I believe such would appeal to our dwarves and druids. It will have the advantage of stealth. Also, we shouldn't have military vessels on colony pay roll at least initially. Let merchants take care of their securiry. We need secrecy more then protection from sea attack.As for marriage, we should take as much couples as we can. But, adventure seekers that want to settle down and simply those hoping to get rich fast as they will explore the land around the colony.That said, when do we start? And where? Are the ships already given assignement?</blockquote>
