First off your all (both ;-) ) aware of the tot web forum, right? if not goto:
http://www.eternity-computer.de/phpBB/
On there you will find a section for hints/tips/problems/ideas etc etc.
Hi Sam. Yes, I'm aware of the forum. It was just a bit on the quiet side there though! ;-)
Besides, me being thick isn't eaxctly a game problem, eh?
Bill - certain buildings require certain population levels - to date I still dont have a trade center even though that game has a barracks and stuff.
Seems that way. I guess I'm too used to games live Civ etc., where the requirements are there for the player to see.
Seems in my case I just don't have enough slaves..err.. inhabitants.
also - be warned not to move too fast with buildings, my beta game i built as soon as i could, researched as much as i could, then people died or left and population plummeted as did gp so i didnt have enough money to keep things up - 4 turns in a row 0gp. only just recovering from the depression!
Yep. Hopefully I've caught the trend in time, but we'll see over the next year or so. If I can turn things round over that time I should be alright, having only lost some development time in relation to my neighbours.
If you're a Civ player, it's very tempting to build and build quickly, but in Tamar it seems that can be a fatal mistake.
