Re: [Audyssey] suggestion for improving building management incastaways
I must confess I find the priorities fine now, though i did wait for half an hour this morning for peasants to carry building materials to the ship, only to find I'd turned it off while building a new house and forgot to turn it on again ;D. It is however with this stratogy that I was able to get the good ship cellary stick up and running much more easily than my last game, I even only had a population of 44 at the end of the game too, though I admit the odd person who washed up on shore did rather help ;D.

Re: [Audyssey] suggestion for improving building management incastaways
Hmmm willom, in that situation i just assign more peasants to do the lifting and moving, sinse obviously food has to come before buildings. for me, the ability to kew priorities like that would also be dangerously close to making the game feel too automated. Getting all the jobs done when all you can do is assign people and indicate what needs doing is imho rather the point of the game. Beware the grue!

Say you want a barracks, but your peasants keep carrying logs to the saw mill and aur is piling up at the mine while your metallurgists keep on mining because there is no aur at the forge, currently there is no effective way to tell your peasants that they need to have that as a priority.

Re: [Audyssey] suggestion for improving building management incastaways
Dark, especially at the end where there are logs to carry to the sawmill, fur to make yarn of, barrels and food to shift and many things that are essential, being able to control the order of importance would add another dimension to the game not make it more automated. As things are currently, you have absolutely no fine control over people, which is a strength in my opinion, but also a weakness as workers would sometimes do insensible things like grind flower and carry logs when I need metal for suits of armor, but still flower needs to be made and logs need to be split, so I don't want to turn it off.
