: [Audyssey] Help needed with Castaways Hi, I totally agree with what Dark is saying here. A lot of problems with Castaways can be solved by not being too static.

Hi Lori. On the first couple of maps, goblins will always come from the top and sides, so it's better to place your buildings at the middle bottom and if you want to use towers, put them towards the edges, walls aren't needed just for goblins they come into play later on. To be honest though

Hi Lori, It sounds to me as though your principle problem with the goblins is poor judgment. Generally speaking you want to mount your defenses far away from your store houses, and other production facilities so that your fighters can attend to the goblins outside of your town proper. If you are

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Help needed with Castaways Hi Lorri. Do you have enough peasants? You can have a storehouse full of food and a cook standing ready but if peasants aren't transporting food to the tavern nothing will happen. The same goes for flour going to the mill and the bakery. Also bare

Hi Lori, There are a number of things that could be wrong here since Castaways is pretty dependant on several factors. However, the first one that comes to mind is to make sure you have plenty of peasants to do menial labor. The peasants are important because they will go out and harvest your

Hi Lori, In Castaways it all depends on if there is any work to be done. If your peasants are just standing around not doing anything there is probably something else that needs done first and they are waiting on some task to be completed. I'd need to know more about the situation here. cheers!

Hi Lori. Your peasants will transport stuff automatically, starting with food then moving on to less essential supplies, this is why you always need many peasants. As for starving, you need a cook. Without a cook to serve meals your people will starve even with a warehouse full of food.
