Windmills are infinate food, use the outposts to give food rather than xp, or use your xp to buy food supplies.

Wrong. Wrong . WRONG.

*downloads*

Just had a go on it. Is the only source of food the deers? What happened to farms? Unless I didn't figure it out. Anyway I ended up being over run by the enemies army since I had no food left :(

It's an x700

That still won't give you the best graphics, it is all down to what you graphics chip can handle. Mate.

I hope it is more battle based than economic crap.

If it was a game I was burning to play then sure.
But for a game that raises a "meh, why not" in me I have neither the inclination nor patience to "mess around".
Tutorial will give me a taste, let me see if I might enjoy it whilst running through the features.
Randomly pressing things and watching tiny men chop trees doesn't merit the download time for this gamer.

I haven't been really keeping in touch with what the game has to offer, I just downloaded the demo because I liked the series.

One thing that seems new, is you can order shipments from your home town using these "cards".

It's strange, but sort of useful.

I was in a rush earlier.

I might go have quality game time just now. I want to build a big fancy city. The guns are fun too.
