We are going to have loads and loads of meat at the new colony, and unless we let the herd grow exponentially (well, we could allow that), we may want to put up some reserves. 2) Materials required for a huge mill.3) Tools required for skinning strange animals.4) Boats, in order to explore the inner river, if the ship cannot make it5) Arrange for a restaurant to be built here in the city of Brightlaw. It will be then used to present the new spices, fruits, vegetables and meats. Of course, some of the best cooks shall be taken, and it should strive to become a place for the elite of the city.6) A samwill, or two. We will need huge amounts of lumber. Of course...as this colony will be respectful to nature, we will be careful in not destroying forests. 7) Alchemic materials. Acid and alchemist fire could be useful into dealing with specific materials that we can't foresee now. 8) Cranes, in order to deal with good's transportation from and to ships9) Wheels for carts.10) More horses. We don't know if there are going to be horses there, so we may buy some horses for military and scouting uses, as well to start an initial herd.Currently, I am short on ideas, so I need some inputs. Any further ideas? Have you got any proposal for business? Or something that you already invested in, but could use more investments?</blockquote>
