the year is 1984, Tensions between the Eastern Bloc, and NATO are boiling over. Neither side wants to step down, and large build up of forces are everywhere The Doomsday Clock is now at 11:57 The only time it's been closer to doomsday (Midnight) was in 1957. (Historical Divergence) Now many nations are dissolving into internal conflict, only a few nations manage to hold their own, but lose a lot of territory, whether it be for Communism, Democracy, Neither, or just plain Anarchy. Now much of Europe, Asia, and even a lot of the Americas are dissolved into squabbling city states, with (for the times) primitive technology like simple bolt action rifles, and basics for civilization (Agriculture, basic buildings, a list of simple laws, etc.).

Okay then. Well, need a strong infrastructure, so I split the workers in thirds, sending one third to try and start up a lumbermill, another third to start a quarry/mine, and the last third to start a farm.

it'll take three turns to build them up, and 5k resources

I then order a tavern to be built. For Morale purposes. After all, no city-state functions without good morale.

if he knew exact figures he'd tell you, but somewhere between 100-150
anywho, as soon as they see you they turn tail and run, you're force being much larger it can't keep up, so they disappear into the countryside, after a few hours the report comes back again, raiders, this time from the south.

Pesky guys must've slipped around to the south. I head back to my city and order the construction of a moat. Yes, a moat. As in a big ditch filled with water to slow down invaders. Shouldn't be too expensive to diggy diggy it.
