New Years Resolution Contest

[Jawstrock]

I will reach lvl 50, get a Vet general somehow, and enjoy myself!

My settlers gaze with admiration at the bronze memorial given to them by the BB_team for their part in helping to overcome the Mayan curse. The celebration is bittersweet however. They know how many good men gave their lives for this cause. They also know that other kingdoms suffered far fewer casualties during this trying time. These kingdoms were aided powerful warriors: elite soldiers, crossbowmen, and even cannoneers.
As the new year dawns, it brings with it the unknown challenges of the future. If they hope to face it, they will need to grow their economic and military strength to a higher level. They have resolved that before 2013 comes to a close they will obtain Lv.50. They have heard rumors that the BB_team has made resolutions of its own which include a long awaited raising of the level cap and a new science system. They are praying that the BB_team will keep these resolutions so that it will be possible to continue growing in 2014 as well.

my goal is to clear all the bandits in my island and try all the adventures out there.

My New Year's Resolution is to stop antagonizing my settlers by:
1) Not moving buildings around, just to see the settlers need to search for where they were headed.
2) Not cancelling builds, just to see a settler scratch his head and need to walk back to the storage building.
3) Not dousing the island in snow, just to see them all shiver.
4) Giving them more opportunities to see the world by sending more troops on adventures than I need.

and finally,
4) making certain all the fields are full, the wells are dug, the mines and deposits are operational, and that the booze is flowing.

I am resolved to acquire and save up enough gems to buy a Gem Pit;
I hope to start by winning the 1000 gem Grand Prize of this resolution contest!
Happy New Year, Ubi!

Dear Great Settler in the Sky,

I ended last year on a strong note, finally making good on last year's resolution to do a better job hunting and fishing. The Deerstalker is so cool, and I was able to use the savings on hunting licenses to spend more time on a boat with a few other settlers and some brew. Oh yeah, we caught more fish too!

This year, I really need to get more silos built. There's a big section of wheatfields that I'm having trouble keeping planted and I just know I need to find the time and coin to build a few more silos. I'm thinking of going corporate - I hear all the big farming operations are run by the 1%'ers... of course, the 1%'ers hire cheap labor, so I'll need to think about housing the rest in high-density noble residences to make sure there's lots of open fields for planting.

Anyway, I hope you'll help strengthen my resolve with a little gem drop my way.

Annually yours,

The Mayor of the tiny island nation of Homerica,

KingHomer

I am fairly new to this game, just started in November. My biggest struggle has been keeping my resources in the green. Therefore, I have made the resolution to wake up 30 minutes early every morning, spend 15 minutes at lunch, and first 30 minutes after work to spend with my settlers working on balancing the resources. The rest of my time will be spent just getting to know my settlers.

Happy New Year to all!

My resolution is to get a 2nd gem pit for my island or may be even a third!!!

[cptncrunch]

Canyon walls to our right and to our left.
Brhind us blocked by a cliff.
Three against the thousand

The bodies of the slain piled up
The day grew long as the fight raged on
Three against the thousand

Finaly it was done
Our foes lay dead before us
Three against the thousand

Toughest three we ever fought

The resolution of the lone surviving recruit was to never again volunteer

[Angelique613]

My New years resolution, is to become emperor of my universe and to have all of my little settler minions worship me and pledge me their first born to ensure that I don't tear down their homes and make their wheat fields and mines disappear. Maw Ha Ha.........
