All the challenges on one map, with hard, harsh, disasterous settings

[SalfordSal]

Hi everybody,

This came up in another thread, where I started posting my updates, but rather than hijack that thread, I thought I'd better start my own.

The original challenge was to get Mountain Men achievement on map seed 2, with hard, harsh settings, the details are here: Ready for a Mountain Men challenge?

There's 36 achievements in all, and I've got the Mountain Men achievement so far. Can all of the others be obtained on one map? Either it's possible, or my villagers will die trying.

Oh yes, I'm recording the attempt and adding snippets to YouTube. Here's my Banished Impossible Challenge playlist:

It's fun trying!

All in one map, on a mountainous small? I'd have a hard time believing it could be done without seriously scrapping and reformulating the town structure multiple times. The two like Smelter and Stonework require sacrificing precious land space that is irreclaimable, and Master Builder also consumes a considerable amount of space just for a throw-away achievement (five boarding houses, really?! Pointless build and destroy exercise). Livestock, too, would take up a considerable amount of land. Nearly 8-9 20x20 pastures, which is an amount of space that mountain maps typically can't suffer.

Add to that the graveyard space for 400 people. To have 400 in graveyards at once means a much larger supporting population - unless you get a mass die off from tornado / disease / starvation. That just doesn't seem possible on a small map of any kind.

Yes, that one too. I had to use a medium sized map that capped out at around 450 people to get that achievement, and it meant wiping out half my map in order to make the near 20x20 grave sites (four) to clear the kill. It also, amusingly, meant starving off all of my citizens in the process to fill said-graves.

I didn't do it, but someone did.

Look at the image link. Quite amazing.

To be honest, that is not the way I would want to play. That's why I only aim for 35 of the 36 achievements with a large valley map.
