Hello, I'm very new to the game and I have a question regarding this map. I'm stuck with reaching the last artifact. Here is a screenshot of the last artifact I need to recover (in the red circle): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a7ZzpZglD1v27HLfaKo0dWze8uO12lrp/view?usp=sharing I can't build any more buildings to expand my borders because there are no available spaces for them. There is a spot where I can build a fortress (yellow circle), but its area of influence is not enough to get to the artifact. Can you please give me some advice? I apologize if my question is rather dumb, but, as I said, I'm just a newbie

Clear the piles of stones north of the mine you can build along the coast.

I've tried that already, but the problem is that area of influence of a stoneworker isn't enough to reach these piles. I already tried to build a stoneworker's hut where the yellow building spots are.

Hi, A quarry in the north directly at the shores should clear the stones. if not please provide a savegame so we can evaluate. Generally spoken it is recomendable to state the version of the game you use to help with troubleshooting.

Thank you. My game version is build-21(Release). So I tried to build 3 quarries at the north for the sake of experiment, and all of them can't reach the stone piles: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Dyo9kvRXj8ayWked_X5iC5EqQu91pRpS/view?usp=sharing Their influence touches just the very edge of the stones, like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Hk6bU6e5ogbO70VXWSwN0obi4OVyrEGO/view?usp=sharing And here is my savegame file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W4KOeNaX0BJ7I-m5phSZWBkqyPfjswl1/view?usp=sharing Thank you again.

Sorry, I just noticed that the links won't open because of privacy settings. I changed the settings and now it should be possible to open all the links. Edited: 2021-02-16, 14:21

Hint: You can enhance fortresses to castles which have +1 radius. If an Artifact is on the edge of the territory it is yours. Does that help? : ) Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked

Ok here is the solution. if you build a castle in the south (yellow mark in the first screenshot) this will conquer enough land to get 2 small building plots near the artifact.

Thanks, now I know that I can upgrade fortresses, too. Unfortunately, the castle's radius was still not enough. So I did what hessenfarmer suggested: I cut the trees in the north, which gave me a green building spot in there, and I built a fortress. Which in turn gave me a small red building spot near the artifact. Then I built a soldier's hut there and it got me to the artifact. I have completed this mission and can move on to the next

You're welcome! I thought that the "Yellow Castle" alone would do the trick. Miscounting the radius is easy if there are heights... Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked
