Tech path would be Agri>Wheel>Pottery>Hunting>AH. Although picking Pro and whipping a granary at size 2 sounds so much better.

That would require something like Agri>Pottery>Hunting>Archery>AH and picking PRO.

If you'd like to die a little in addition to having your soul crushed you could change the game speed from normal to quick so that those wasted worker turns hurt even more. mischief

Also I never expected second pick, but I'm going to bed now and will pick in the morning.

I was going to search for stabbing but thought better of it. A tool that could do this would be awesome at work. It would curb the worst kinds of dumb support calls, I think. nod

Only question about this pick is if I can go wheel before pottery.

I really like reading your strategic thoughts and the reasoning behind your game decisions, Krill. I think you are the best game reporter around when it comes to a "how to get from this situation to a win" type of thread.

It's a pity I don't have time to read about all the changes in Smeg. Just by looking at the starting screenshot I see there's a lot of differences (and, for some reason, I find that screenshot ugly. alright ). But I'll try to follow nonetheless.

Good luck!

On a random thought, the name of this mod reminds me of the band Muse.

I wouldn't know without simming, but is EXP/IMP, settling 1S, and building a quick settler for the sheep an option?

Part of the reason it looks ugly, I think, is that the riverside tiles don't have coins on them. But even without that difference, the sheer quantity of flat bare grass is boringly high.
