Zhitgrad

= Town Info =



Zhidgrad is a workers soviet in the Ostrov Oblast. Surrounding a forest and on the high vantage point of the island it allows for good view of the entire Oblast. The census of November 21 reported three inhabitants. A mining network, a railway and grasslands and a large port exists for use.

Mining
The mines of Zhidgrad have proved plentiful in terms of industrial resources, iron and coal in particular with some success in gold too. Redstone however is a rarity and may require importing.

Places of Interest
The settlement is located in the centre of a moderately wooded island, with a river completely around it and some artificial wide shallow canals.

Travel
The river network allows it to be a midway port between the north and south via boat. Later canal and port workings will speed this travel up further.

As of November 21, a railway and a meagre track is connected to Zhidgrad. Walking 500 blocks, followed by a minecart ride of equal distance, heading north from Klippan through the Ramalaya mountain range, or by boat via the twisted river network are the two routes in. The closest settlements to Zhidgrad via river is Karkland. Klippan is fastest via foot and rail.

Future Plans
Infrastructure, mainly roads and a railway are being improved. A moat is also planned for the outermost wall and a secondary lower rampart.

As of this date a railway covers 3/5 of the distance to Klippan.

Future plans also consist of dredging, widening, etc. the river and putting in canals so as to provide a direct water link from south to north and opening the northern seas.
