tinyE: Basically a tutorial for exploring and taking over other islands, but I must be doing something wrong here. :P I can usually get a mine or two done, one or two towers/lookouts but then everything comes to dead standstill. I've tried tweeking everything I can think of and no luck. For a while I thought maybe I was doing too much too quickly so I settled one island at a time, no go. So I upped the delivery priority to wood and stone...nothing. My main island does fine if I try to build but everyone on my outpost just stands there reading the paper or jumping rope.

EDIT
I'm doing much better but I still feel like I might be missing something obvious. One thing I love about this series is the old adage 'Easy to learn hard to master'. It's a lot less complicated and less intricate than a lot of civ/RTS games which I like but there are always little things you can learn to streamline it. It never gets old albeit always remains a little nerve racking. :P
