"Firs" are a type of evergreen tree. "Furs" are from animals, and what the Aristocrats are wanting. :go:

Archilochus, don't that housing pattern give you problems with firhouse and school placement? I know you need 65 houses eventually, but I wait a while before putting that many down.
LOL, speaking of firhouse. My house is on fir... :rofl:
The game was played on easy, so no fire or AI. It was a test game if you will.
Here's some sceenies to show the progress. Notice pop. and coin!

this is a random question...Ive always wanted to know how people get the maps that have Sugarcane (or hops), tobacco and cocoa fertility. so far i only got two maps with sugarcane and tobacco...anyone know a map # that has all three? :scratch: I know I should find out for myself, just curious (plus my "allies" are a pain in the butt when it comes to trading). :sad: :rolleyes:
I have never seen sugarcane, tobacco and cocoa all on the same island!

so I would have to play with the Medium islands and medium difficulty? awww man...I like the easy ones better.though I still cant get a island with both gems and marble to harvest. apparent only marble can be harvested on the green islands and gems can be harvested on the "africa" islands (i have no idea what else to call them).
..........................the green islands and .................................... the "africa" islands (i have no idea what else to call them).
They are correctly called northern islands and southern islands! :go:

makes more sense....though why they stuck elephants, tigers, zebras and apes on the southern islands, I'll never know. I think if they wanted to give the southern islands a more native feel they should have included giraffes and gazelles. but anywhom, I was wondering if its a good idea to place my town center in the middle of the island. So far I've had the Queen supplying a warehouse for me, which is always on the coast, and i was wondering if i have to take the Queen giving warehouse option off in order to place my town center wherever i feel like it.

Starting with the warehouse automaticly places the town center too? :eek:
I always place my own warehouse, and every other building, including the town center(s).

You always have an option to place ur town center wherever you wish wether you start with a warehouse or not
Your warehouse will be on the coast either way, and the towncenter must be within its area of influence to be constructed... wich often makes placement limited to near the shore. However, just build additional warehouses furtehr away to expand the are of construction and place the town center in the middle of teh island if you wish!
Not sure why you weren't able to do that, maybe i'm missing something in the question?

so i do have to build extra warehouses...bugger...thought there was a easy way to do that. and many apologies to anyone who might have been confused by my question. I obviously need more sleep:biggrin:
