age of wonder planetfall tips and tricks

The influence cost depends on how many colonies you own, so it’s super cheap if you have positive race relations and you only have one colony.ĩ) Sometimes, when you are scouting, you see an enemy’s second colony, and by resettling those pops, I can move them into territory that is easier for you to defend.

I would only do this if you didn’t get rivers inside your empire easily.ħ) Happiness events are a great way to get more energy.Ĩ) Sending populations from bought or conquered independent settlements is a great way to get population in your capital, especially if you have the decadent vice.

If you are lucky, you will be able to get +10 food from rivers allowing your capital to support way more pops (things like bread and circus and further boost your happiness leading to more pops being supported)Ħ) Maybe take one food sector, which you can convert into energy or production later. You can support up to 20 pops (-2 per pop = -40, 4 workers = 20 + colony center = 20) without a food exploitation and no rivers.

For example, I would go for sectors with celestain artifact or a stadium arcadian if you think that you will be able to easily defend that territory.Ĥ) Get food from sites and razing or workers if need be.ĥ) Get production and energy from your capital’s exploitations (always useful in war, as in right now/ immediately useful). 1) Use scouts to find anomaly sites (I try to start my 1st one around turn 5), as they will spawn landmarks and other goodies (sites) right next to your existing territory, right next to your capital.Ģ) Try to use energy and production exploitations to get early mass unit production, but always play the planet/ what the game gives you.
