THE SPECIAL WISHES OF THE SOLDIERS, THOUGH, ARE NOT DIETARY, BUT MERCENARY. THE MINERS ARE NOT THE ONLY SETTLERS WHO HAVE THEIR SPECIAL WISHES. IF YOUR COLONY HAS A COAST, YOU NEED ONLY BUILD A FISHERMAN S HUT THERE. PROVIDING THE MINERS WITH FISH IS A BIT SIMPLER. AND DON'T FORGET THAT PIGS NEED WATER TO DRINK. TO PROVIDE THE MINERS WITH MEAT, FOR EXAMPLE, GRAIN FROM THE FARM HAS TO BE DELIVERED TO A PIG FARM, AND PIGS FROM THE PIG FARM HAVE TO BE DELIVERED TO THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE SO THAT MEAT CAN BE PRODUCED. GOLD MINERS PREFER FISH AND IRON MINERS PREFER MEAT. SO FAR YOU HAVE TAKEN CARE OF BASIC NUTRITION OF YOUR MINE-WORKERS, BUT THE MINERS HAVE Dl FFERENT TASTES. THE FOOD THAT BECOMES AVAILABLE AFTER YOU'VE DONE THIS WILL BE NEEDED BY YOUR MINEWORKERS. NOW YOU WILL HAVE ENOUGH SPACE TO BEGIN BUILDING UP THE SECOND INDUSTRIAL PILLAR OF YOUR COLONY THE FOOD INDUSTRY.ĪT THIS POINT, IT MAY BE WISE TO BUILD A GRAIN FARM, A WATERWORKS, A GRAIN MILL AND A BAKERY. AS SOON AS THE GUARDTOWER IS FINISHED, IT WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY OCCUPIED BY A SOLDIER, AND THE SURROUNDING AREA WILL COME UNDER THE CONTROL BUILD A GUARDTOWER OR CASTLE AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE BORDER (ATTHE BEGINNING A GUARDTOWER IS PREFERABLE AS THIS SAVES ON BUILDING MATERIALS). TO BE ABLE TO COLONIZE THIS TERRITORY, YOU FIRST HAVE TO OCCUPY IT. AND JUST ACROSS THE BORDER, IT LOOKS AS IF THERE'S LOTS OF FREE SPACE CALLING OUT TO YOU," COME, PUT ME TO USE, COLONIZE ME". FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE POSSIBILITIES FOR FINE-TUNING, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR ONLINE DOCUMENTATION.ĪFTER YOU HAVE GOTTEN YOUR CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY OFF THE GROUND AND HAVE ERECTED YOUR FIRST FEW BUILDINGS, YOU WILL BECOME AWARE THAT SPACE IS BECOMING TIGHT.
IF YOU WISH, YOU CAN EVEN DETERMINE YOURSELF WHETHER YOUR NEW LABORERS ARE TO BE EMPLOYED AS CARRIERS, BUILDERS OR DIGGERS. AS SOON AS YOU HAVE BUILT A NEW RESIDENCE, YOU HAVE AN ADDITIONAL SUPPLY OF LABOR AT YOUR DISPOSAL. RESIDENCES HAVE TO BE BUILT FOR YOUR SETTLERS. THIS LABOR FORCE DOES NOT COME INTO BEING AUTOMATICALLY AS IT DID IN THE SETTLERS 2. THE ROMANS USE ABOUT EQUAL PROPORTIONS OF WOOD AND STONE FOR THEIR BUILDINGS, THE EGYPTIANS USE A HIGHER PROPORTION OF STONE THAN WOOD, AND THE ASIANS USE A HIGHER PROPORTION OF WOOD THAN STONE.Ī PROSPEROUS CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY ALSO REQUIRES AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF LABOR. YOU WILL DISCOVER THAT, DEPENDING ON WHICH RACE YOU HAVEĬHOSEN, THE MATERIALS NEEDED FOR BUILDING WILL VARY. THERE CAN BE NO BUILDINGS AND WITHOUT BUILDINGS, NO COLONY.
