New towns and resources

   Wuzzel:
Here's the info available on Milling Tech:

"A vital skill for the growth of your city, learning how to construct mills, produce flour - and therefore allow your citizens to make their own bread."

How can I find out the cost of a Mill, the Production Cost of Flour, and the benefits of Bread?

As it stands now, I must first research both Agri and Mill before I can learn the cost of a Mill.  And then I have to build a Mill to learn the cost of Bread.  And after I have made bread, then I can learn what benefit it brings.

That's an awfull lot of unknowns that require a lot of research points, etc just to learn that I didn't need to make bread until later in the game. 

There should be a guide that sets all this out somewhere.  But "self-explanatory" this is not.

	Agriculture is only a prereq for Milling. Most things should explain for itself.

	Is there a guide to Research? For example: Agriculture - No units or buildings are unlocked by this research. Does Agriculture offer any direct benefits? Or is it no more than a prerequisite to other research?

	Hi Waylander, If you mean the Gatherable / Harvestable resources, then these only appear on: a) NPC resource squares (ie Dolmens, Ancient Forest, Abandoned Mines etc), and b) Are distributed randomly, based on the population cluster of the playerbase If you're near the centre of map, competition for these resources is quite fierce - so they don't hang around for long. If you're further out from the centre then the competition is less, but the distribution is less as well. Largely because we've only recently begun kicking unused accounts from the server, it's possible that there is a resource gap between new account creation and old "population clusters". This will rebalance as the old vs new player balance reaches equilibrium again! In short, it's random - and as the new incoming players reaches a balance (expected over the next couple of days) with the expired account - the random distribution selection will become more equitably random in it's selection of squares to seed... if that makes any sense...? Best wishes, GM Stormcrow
