to support IIRC. Every plains cottage produces 1 , so a -1 deficit that must be supported somewhere else. Atyrau already works one grassfarm, 3 so that can support one plains cottage w/a total of 4 between them. That means we need 2 grassfarms to support 2 plains cottages. and the Fur produces 0, so the Fish is using 2 of it's 4 'extra' to support the Fur leaving 2 'extra'. The Iron mine produces 1 so it is taking up 1 of that 2 surplus , leaving a 1 surplus. All the water of the tiles produce 2 each, so enough to support themselves but not enough to foster growth., just enough to keep growing. If we mine the Tundra hill 0, that makes -1. from the grassfarm (by cutting irrigation) and lose 1 from the irrigated plains, making us -3 on . So we can't do more than 2 plains cottages.
. Not working that tile would be like not working a Town.Wait... so does that mean you agree with my math/worker actions for Atyrau?
Anyway, I agree with you about Atyrau working mostly sea tiles. I would keep working the fur though, 5
But generally speaking, I think you are right that cottage v. farm in Atyrau is not as important once Moais are done. We certainly won't be working any cottages there anytime soon as we want to grow the city quickly.
, but the city tile also consumes 2 . What founding the city gives you, is an extra tile that you can work for the first population point, but if you set it to a tile that produces 0, then your pop will stagnate. to support itself. It does not really create any growth/surplus on it's own. production count at the top and then count up all the food being produced on the tiles (25), you will see that it matches exactly. There is no "2 extra" just from founding a city. consumption value (24) and look at the population (pop12). Notice that the consumption is exacty 2x the population, meaning that each population point (including the first one) is consuming 2 . ) and 1 grassland farm(3 ) and the city tile make 11 total, but each one of those consumes 2 each (6 total), leaving 5 food surplus. The fur uses up 2, leaving 3 surplus and the iron mine uses up 1, leaving 2 surplus. 2 Plains cottages would use up 1 each, leaving zero surplus, and thus zero growth. ) that will make a 3 surplus that we can use to mine the tundra hill, costing us 2 and leaving a 1 surplus. We need that 1 surplus to keep the city growing.
Well that farm is already finished so the issue is moot... (Thank goodness for that
) Any ideas for what the worker should do next?
Why wouldn't we use the great scientist to bulb something? Just wondering.
per turn, while consuming 6 per turn (4 surplus per turn). stored (not 33), and this number increases by 2 (not 3) every population point increase. So it takes 24 to get to pop 3, 26 to get to pop 4, 28 to get to pop 5, 30 to get to pop 6, 32 to get to pop 7, etc... you get the idea. to grow from pop 3 to pop 4. So 11 food since we already have 15 stored. At 4 surplus per turn, that should be 3 turns. By then both cottages will be done, and the mine will be done. to grow from pop 4 to pop 5. At 3 surplus per turn (we lose 1 surplus to work the mine) it will take 5 turns to get to pop 5.), I would do the 3 pop whip now. I will wait a few more hours though to give more people a chance to comment.
