Farms can utilize about 15-16 plots of land. (I don't know the numbers for fish, except that its better than wine.) so giving your people wine only will actually result in people having to eat more often, while not giving them wine but only bread/sausage results in 'expensive' meals, as they will consume more than they can actually store. wine is the most space efficient of the 3, but replenishes less. when civilians eat, wine replenishes 1/3 of their hunger, bread and sausages 2/3. Most production cycles use this 2-1/1-2, but when having larger economies, it usually gets a bit out of balance because of travel times, so say 8 wheat farms is enough for 1 mill and 4 pig breeders, etc. 1 mill = 2 bakers, 2 pig breeders = 1 butcher. 2 woodcutters = plankcrafter(?), 2 wheat farms = 1 mill/pig breeding. if you want to get rid of labourers, tell them to build some farmland behind enemy lines. But it really depends on how important it is for you to build quickly. 4-8 labourers are usually enough (at least in the campaign, I personally use 5). start with about 12 servants and only recruit new servants when you notice building stocks are always half full. If you have only one of each, you will get massive 'trafic' jams when building larger towns. Don't be afraid to build multiple taverns/storehouses. units will always go diagonal->vertical/horizontal, and never first vertical/horizontal->diagonal. If you still need some economic/logistic advise: I'm afraid there is no way to make the game run windowed.

I just find the Labourers annoying when they are all standing on your farmland doing nothing.ĭo you know how to make the game windowed?

You have been a massive help i really appreciate the tips and the answers. You can stroll through most of the game without hiring axemen/cavalry as long as you utilise archers effectively. Have 1 archer go to the enemy lines and open fire, then immediately order him to go back to your position.Ĭ) Lancers are good allaround and cheap melee unit. Block them with some melee troops with tons of archers at the back.Īrchers are more effective when split into several groups rather than just one big squad.ī) Bait enemy units.

You can probably also plant vinetards over them if they were built on grass.Ĥ) Just hire 1 unit from barracks, use him as a scout.Ī) Utilise chokepoints. However, eventually they will have to go to an Innģ) You can't destroy roads, but again you can build over them. Originally posted by White Spirit:1) Not sure.
