Greetings,
During the long voyage to Providence I read up on Salem. On the web there are many theories that are not true.
1)It is hard to establish a homestead. FALSE Took me only a few hours to earn enough to purchase a Writ of Homesteading from Benjamin Bryberry.
2)It is hard for a new colonist to make money. FALSE I average about 50 coins an hour just foraging. Now add in a career like hunting, fishing, mining, farming, cooking, and so on you really got it made.
3)It is hard to understand the skills, proficiencies, artifacts, and inspirationals. FALSE If you need the help reading is fundamental down on the homestead. http://salemwiki.info/index.php/Main_Page
4) You can go nuts in in a new Colony. TRUE
