I was wanting to know if someone haves a strategy for the blue player in The Nile. I always, when playing, end in a wood shortage, thing that causes the entire economy to break. Top Quote

Some hints: keep the area where trees can grow (green terrain) free from buildings and roads (dismantle e.g. military buildings) a forester don't need to be connected to the roadnetwork, once build you can cut the road to the forester which may adds free nodes for trees stop the shipyard once you have some ships limit wood for production buildings who needs wood, or stop them farms do work on sandy terrains Hopefully this helps.

Atlanteans, Barbarians and Amazons need a lot of wood. Empire needs far less and Frisians even less than that. Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked Top Quote

Try reserve that for those picky vegetables. : ) IIRC Nile is mostly yellow sand though... -- To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before Top Quote

Ok, but at the beggining, (playing as Blue) there is a great space for a Quarry to the right. Do I need to leave that place for the trees? Top Quote

As the rocks vanish the trees take their place? Just a thought. -- To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before Top Quote
