We love those. Especially when they mix in some spam with their comments

Ok I opened it up and installed. Cranked it up to Deity equivalent for the first game, and lo and behold, I dont know what the balls to do. I end up squeezing my first settlement in between John Adams (just watched his miniseries based on the biography, good stuff) and the Arawaks.
You cant build workboats, workers or units, just basket weaving shops? I thought a clam and bananas would be good, but I was growing in like 60 turns. What is the "food" icon, the wheat things? Why did they change the interface so drastically but basically leave the underlying code the same? IE, once I figured out that the screen buttons were reversed, I easily found the "Options" tab on the other side of the screen. Tricksy Firaxians. Lots to learn...

Workers: Move a colonist to the garrison part and chose Pioneer (You need to give him 50 tools)
Building units: You can build Wagon trains, ships and cannons. For military units: You need to do the same as with the pioneer but chose soldier if you have guns. Or buy a unit in Europe. Otherwise you can get natives by missionising or you get a colonist when you have more than 200 food in a colony. So basically the same as with good old Colonization... For bananas I guess you have to build a farm with a pioneer there.

Building 1 or 2 towns in the beginning is a good question, I always asked myself in Col I... In your case you could join the settlement with the soldier and then equip the pioneer with the tools and let him build a farm on the bananas.

I'd say go your gang.
By the way, we have eight participants. How many turns does the game have in total? Cos with ten turns we won't play often. Perhaps we should play eight turns? Or a multiplayer succession game, with two teams.

Go ahead Shabba. I am totally swamped at work this week, so I certainly won't start anything before you will...
