I tend to do the same thing when possible. I usually lumber mill all of them, but in my most recent game, the map has been super stingy with :) resources, so I built some FP to help. Maybe its a bit less efficient than a fully developed cottage, but I guess I just like some variety on the...

25 yr old building architect(ural intern - i hate that I legally have to say that or the AIA will come after me... I'll be liscenced soon though) My 7th grade typing teacher used to open the PC lab early for kids who rode the bus and got to school way early. He had a copy of CivI and...

I just wanted to chime in. I lurk on these forums pretty regularly. Sis said something about wondering why he did these things sometimes a couple pages back, and I just wanted to say how much the ALC and other games on this forum have helped me understand the thinking neccesary to improve my game.
