if your workers are sitting around and you have a building that is not being built  there are a couple things to check. 1st do you have a builder??is he busy somewhere else?? it is easy to place a bunch of fences or benches,stone roads,etc and not realize the builder is busy with those when you want him.you have a "priority"button to call him away from those jobs. the other thng <especially if playing <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> >do you have all the materials to build the building?? some require lumber,building supplies,tiles,etc. the builder wont start building without all the materials. this takes a learning curve for <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr>. we always want a building we can not build yet. umm u did say you was new right? do you have access to the area yopu want to build?? banis are not good at swimming. they need bridges to get over rivers and even creeks. and sometimes they need a plank bridge just to go over the creek and remove some reeds so they can build a bridge.playing on some shorelines can be frustrating. it can be difficult to see what is flat and walkable and what is not. the gound dips up and down sometimes.1 way to check is to try running a road along it. if it is green,the banis can walk there. if it turns red,they can not.

I'm playing vanilla right now and will work my way up to <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr>.




But, this stuff I've already figured out except, I'm too new to be cocky! [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/cool.png[/img]/emoticons/cool@2x.png 2x" title="B|" width="20" />  As a rule of thumb, I try to keep a close eye on that stuff and, sometimes returning to basics yields results!




That's when you slap yourself on the head and say, "damn, I cannot believe I missed that!"




Thanks for quantifying the "ground rules."
