~Settlers
From: Jeff Nabozny (40:701/10)
Settlers Hints:
~GETTING STARTED
At first you will have to find a suitable location for your palace;
I would advise a place near some mountains (there has to be gold!)
and with lots of trees (planks for building material). If possible
(not necessary), not too far away from water (fish are easiest to
collect).
Once you have found a good place for your palace, place a woodcutter
and a stone-mason. The next thing i would build, would be a
sawingmill. You will now get some more building material (stones and
planks).
The next thing to build is a goldmine and a coalmine; after
construction is completed, build a goldsmith to convert the gold
found into gold bars (using the coal as fuel for the goldsmith's
fire). Once you start collecting some gold bars, place a knight or
2 near your borders, to move your frontiers further away, thus
allowing you to build more and more.
Next thing to do is provide food for the people working in your
mines; build a pig-farm and a normal farm. The corn will be used as
food for the pigs, the rest will be brought to your palace. The
pig-farm is useless if you haven't got a butcher, so build one! You
need a windmill to grind the corn (flour). Once this is done, you
must build a bakery to make some bread.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
~SOME HINTS
Leave some room for farms (cornfields need a lot of space) effect.
Wait a while before starting making boats and tools; these activities
cost a lot of steel and planks, which you will need as building
material. (better to build houses, than tools).
Keep a balance between cutting and planting trees.
Resources will eventually run out (mines)
Try to put knights as near as possible to your frontiers. (for
maximum.
Build buildings in same production chain close together.
