Buildings have a square/rectangular shape, and the interior has wide open spaces with smooth wood surface. Most buildings are intended to be vertically symmetrical.

Food
The Southern colonies are concentrated on agriculture due to the incredibly fertile soil, and built huge plantations for crops such as corn, vegetables, grain, indigo, sugar, tobacco, fruit and livestock. But, rice is the mainstay of our colony, so lack of food will not be a problem if you choose to move to Georgia. Due to the labor required for the plantations, slaves are accepted on these farms. |
