Micro Challenge Central
After another even long(er) hiatus, the 7th instalment is here: granary galore!
I'd ask for spoilers to be used so that nothing is given away too easily. You're free to talk about anything else though.
Be advised that you may find answers if you look at spoilers...
Micro Challenge VII
These are your cooked starts.
A few relevant techs have been given for the task at hand: Pottery, Animal Husbandry, Monarchy, Fishing, Agriculture, Bronze Working, Iron Working, Future Techs, Machinery.
Tokugawa wants to build an army... what better way than to accumulate population and food in all your cities! He is also investigating the strange water wheels in a far away region...
The challenge: complete the following tasks:
Normal
: have 60 population total in all your cities by turn 25. Have 14 Watermills in Watermill me!
14
Hard
: have 66 population total in all your cities by turn 25. Have 15 Watermills in Watermill me!
15
Nightmare

: have 70 population total in all your cities by turn 25. Have 16 Watermills in Watermill me! You are also required to get a perfect score on your food count.
16
and perfect
You should not research any technology, you are already given everything you need to accomplish the objectives.
Settings
Not really important but events are off.
Difficulty
Normal difficulty may take a few tries but most optimizations are easy.
Hard is where the fun gets started
Nightmare.... well,
if you solve it. If you can't manage to get the perfect food count, you still did very well!
The hint I would give is to concentrate on one city at a time to avoid going nuts.
