Freecol city generator#

Keep some veteran dragoons parked outside an enemy town, when they foolishly send troops to attack you, rout them and ship them back with a waiting galleon or caravel. It's nice to maintain a state of war with at least one other nation though, they are a good source of colonists and combat training. Once you get Peter Stuyvesant(?) you get to build custom houses so no need for ships to trade. I wonder if this applies to Civilisation as well? It's been awhile. This should also work with events like the treasure found in lost cities (good for getting those fountains of youth). To get a different outcome say in combat, get some other unit to perform a task like moving or pioneer work, then attack with combat unit.

I think the game has a sort of random generator to generate outcomes like combat, events etc. The only problem with this game is that at the higher levels you can't afford any sidelines like trying to conquer the other enemy colonies ,* your only goal is to prepare for war against your own king and the trade is too important in this game, you constantly need ships for trade and that get's boring I rate this game with a 5!!!!! (but i hate loosing a frigate against a loaded galleon or merchant.how is this possible a transport-trade ship sinking a state of the art war ship?)Ĭombat is not random, i see some people have said it is, but it isn't Also push the other forces into the corner from the beginning.otherwise u will be the one in the corner and defending is hard

My strategie was to use the capital as an overcrowded evolved city and get all the supplies from other cities and the capital as the factory and the final destination before going to europe, also try to create an army around your cities so enemy forces cannot hold back ur production (they fortify around ur cities and wait until u really starve and no production can take place before attacking you.it's like a boycott :PĪlso it's a good idea to try and control the seas and hold back the trade of others.however it's very costly :?Įarly in the game i like to get mounted scouts to find treasures and could really help you get an economical edge and develop more fast. oh and something more be careful about the food supplies, do not overcrowd ur cities other wise you will need to use all the space for food production thus producing nothing!!! This game is DIFFICULT and i mean it, even at the easiest level it's extremely difficult to survive if u don't cheat, ah and those spanish forces looks like the whole galactic empire striking on you, the other powers look like kittens in front of the ferocious spanish army.īut it's a very addictive game and you have to select very your production and trade routes.
