Topic: Strategy for "The Nile"

Hello everyone! I am new to the forums. 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.

denmanuel which tribes do you play? 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

Hello denmanuel and welcome to the forums

Although the area where trees do grow is limited, the Nile has normally enough space for trees and wood. 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.

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?

It depends on the tribe you are playing.

In Empire, is needed?

Can't you overlap a forest with a quarry? As the rocks vanish the trees take their place? Just a thought.
