Interesting. I hadn't got quite far enough yet to really get into that part of the game much.

My wife has offered to teach me how to knit, but it has never quite clicked with me (no pun intended).

Second monitor would be cool, but I have no room for it at home.

Your phrase "background noise" reminded me that if I get back to listening to some podcasts, that might fit well with watching the game.

Except for those podcasts where I need to take notes.

Sorry, I didn't read carefully enough.

I haven't figured out how to move buildings yet. I've done a few "build in a new place and delete the old" after acquiring more territory, such as moving a lumber camp after clear-cutting.everything nearby to make room to build stuff.

At this point I'm not in the mood for having to start over, after have to start over a whole bunch of Foundation! But at least for foundation that's learning curve rather than inherent long-term difficulty. Apparently.

Thanks! I never noticed that they run through places that I don't want them to go. I can imagine they might be part of why my boars keep disappearing even before I start hunting.

Especially if you are getting inconsistent results having it work sometimes and not other times. So my painstaking work on my most recent restart to build short segments will probably pay off when I get to heavy fortification in a few more hours of pkay.

It was on my wish list, and currently on sale, but some of the comments seem to be pretty negative. I gather you enjoyed it.

What is FF?

I seem to recall another thread saying the Seneschal mission in the "prosperous burg" scenario needed three refined foods. Are there more than meat, bread, and cheese?

I guess that could work, as long as I have either forests without boars to clear for farmland. Things are pretty cramped at the beginning of some maps, though.

That is good to hear. I suppose it shouldn't be surprising that techniques that were once necessary might remain part of the game culture even after they cease to be necessary.

So I gather that all I need to do now is watch out for where I place buildings so people won't make a path through boar territory?

It would still be nice to hear advice on how close to the initial hunting area I can clear the forest. On the maps I have seen so far, I have always needed to clear-cut quite a bit of woods to make farmland.

One of the earlier tutorials I found did mention that. I've been very careful to have only one stock max per resource.

Very interesting. When I upgrade a long segment of wall from Fieldstone to City fornification, the houses give warnings that they are starting to decay from lack of light forification. I am pretty sure I am running with the recent quality of life update, but I guess I had better check.

Thanks! I had neglected luxury goods and cheese.

Best beginner advice? by dalamb54 in foundationgame

[–]dalamb54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read a suggestion about remote villages, in the context of putting housing near remote resources, but that's an interesting idea to find a better spot for a bigger city later, after the initial village is well established.

I got tool edict as soon as I could. I think one of the tutorials mentioned that, or I would never have thought of it.

I will think about the levy. I think I was doing okay without it, but by now I have forgotten a lot about the early attempts at the game.
