Just about to reinstall B&W for the pure reason of trying this out, can't wait! Will give some feedback once I have had a play.
As for carrying on? Absolutely!
I think I found that I had to add the wood to the other Norse village, the one with the lightning that is built if you help the people with the boat in the first land.
If you didn't help them then you're gonna need to add it to the tibetch town.
