Fields

#new-world #production #map

Basic field types

• Ocean
• Plains
• Grassland
• Prairie
• Savannah
• Hills
• Mountains
• Marsh
• Swamp
• Tundra
• Desert
• Arctic

Forest

Forests always have a base field and are on top of that. They can be cut down. The type of forest depends on their base field:

Mixed forest

• Plains
• Grassland
• Prairie
• Savannah

Boreal Forest

• Tundra

Rain Forest

• Marsh
• Swamp

Scrub Forest

• Desert

These fields cannot have a forest

• Hills
• Mountains
• Arctic
• Ocean

Production

Good production in fields is categorised into

• main production
• secondary production
• possible production
  These help to build a mental model of the otherwise complicated and hard to learn rules of yields. Main production is what will always yield most and will scale best on a field with buildings and experts. Secondary production will scale somewhat, but never yield very good results. Possible production enables you to produce a tiny bit of a good, that otherwise may be hard to have access.

Examples

Food

Prairie (secondary) without buildings will yield:
secondary 2 + food 1 = 3 (6 for expert)
Plowed plains (main) with a granary (level 1 building) will yield:
main 2 + food 1 + plowed 2 + granary 2 = 7 (11 for expert)
Plowed grassland (secondary) with a granary (level 1 building) will yield:
secondary 2 + food 1 + plowed 1 + granary 1 = 5 (8 for expert)
Forest with high stands yields:
main 2 + food 1 + high stands 2 = 5 (8 for expert)

Wood

Mixed Forest without buildings will yield
main 2 + wood 1 = 3 (7 for expert)
Mixed Forest with forest trails (level 1 building) will yield:
main 2 + wood 1 + trails 2 = 5 (9 for expert)
Mixed Forest with river and wood lathes (level 3 building) will yield:
main 2 + wood 1 + river 2 + lathes 5 = 10 (14 for expert)

Cotton

Prairie (main) without buildings yields:
main 2 = 2 (6 for expert)
Plowed Plains (secondary) with cotton gin (level 1) yields:
secondary 2 + plowed 1 + gin 1 = 4 (7 for expert)
Plowed Prairie (main) with river and spinning house (level 2) yields:
main 2 + plowed 2 + river 3 + spinning house 4 = 11 (15 for expert)
Savannah (possible) with cotton gin (level 1 building)
possible 1 + gin 1 = 2 (4 for expert)
