I've been playing the frisians so far by making a reindeer farm, farm and well to support each smokery and wondered why it worked so badly. Now I realize I have to set fur prod to infinite. -- To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before Top Quote

This does mean if no fur is produced no meat will be produced. In any case meat is only a byproduct of fur production and by this far too expensive to build an economy on it. The renewable food source of the frisians is fish from aqua farms. Top Quote

This is very unclear and imho one shouldn't have to dig through help files to find out something like that. I think it would be better if this is explained in-game, be it when the reindeer farm is introduced or when the aqua farms are. My workaround has been to produce craptons of fur, but I didn't realise I was paying 3 grain for a meat. Top Quote

I just tried the Atlanteans and found I now need to look up most things again in the encyclopedia. Top Quote
