Fort Mackenzie
Fort Mackenzie is a small logging town located around northwest Canada. The town's primary focus is peacefully expanding into a Canadian superpower as a town, through the means of fair trade, and of course, "the grind".
History
Early History
Fort Mackenzie was established in November 2019 by mayor da_bogner.
The Mackenzie River
Work in progress
Affiliation with the Federation of Slave
From the very beginning, citizens of Fort Mackenzie have been set on creating their own nation. After weeks of saving up gold, struggling to trade with other nations due to the lack of teleportation ability, they finally decided to become part of the Federation of Slave. Affiliation with the Federation of Slave ended when da_bogner and cwb2013 became inactive on the server.
Affiliation with Klondike
Fort Mackenzie became affiliated with Klondike when the original mayor da_bogner rejoined the server under the new name DarkSlate. As soon as he had enough gold to reclaim the towns main buildings, he joined the nearest nation.
Buildings
Spawn Outpost - EST NOV 2019
The spawn outpost was one of the first buildings constructed in the newly founded town.
Storage Bunker - EST NOV 2019
The storage bunker was a project initially started by cwb2013, however, due to his frequent inactivity on the server at the time, da_bogner took over and turned it into the beautiful structure it is today. When cwb2013 was active on the server again, he took the project back and set up all the storage systems inside.
Lumber Mill - EST DEC 2019
The lumber mill was established as a location for the lumberjacks of Fort Mackenzie to store excess wood that was not in the towns shops. This wood was often used to fulfill bulk deals with larger nations.
Barn - EST DEC 2019
The barn was built to house one of each animal type collected throughout the globe by da_bogner. cwb2013 built a machine in this barn that transported cows to another chunk to allow the town to rapidly breed them and collect leather for selling to other towns.
Mining Outpost - EST MAR 2021
The mining outpost was established by ParadoxQueued after returning to the server from a long leave of absence. Upon returning to Fort Mackenzie, all of the materials left by the previous residents had been removed. The mining outpost was established to help replenish these lost resources.
Tree Farm - EST MAR 2021
The tree farm was built across the river from the lumber mill to help the town fulfill its goal of being the largest lumber supplier in the North West. In the old days, tree farming took place randomly throughout the town. The slightly more industrial nature of the tree farm should help to increase productivity for fulfilling larger orders.
