Definetly lives up to the "Settlers" line.
- Once you learn how to make your resources work and move it is actually very well done. Pay attention to what is required for creating something and make sure you build in order so that the entire chain is complete. One trick to the lack of stone on most maps is to have 2 miners of a type, get the "Geologist" option unlocked in "Prestige Points". Set 1 to Geologist and 1 to always and your mines will basically produce for a LONG time and you will have the stone needed to build. If you are unsure what is needed for a chain look at the abacus it will show you.
Here is an order I have found very successful:
1. Lodge (Close to main city) with:
a. Forester
b. Woodcutter
c. Sawmill
2. Farm (Close to main city) with:
a. Grain X2
b, Mill
c. Residence with Bread maker
3. Stone miner or other as above
- Military is fun, but make sure to hire the "Right" general for the job!
- Check the map for a choke point to protect your production and keep an army there for protection. Make sure to build up the defence there.
Have fun and will mentor in game :) "Nodo"
