I cant get my head round this game at all! Why is there such a tiny margin for error???? Every attempt I've made so far to complete the first mission has failed I dont seem to be able to generate anywhere near enough food and as a result, I have revolts and famines all the time! I'm not ready to give up on it just yet but clearly I'm not following the game mechanics to the letter! Sorry, just needed a minor vent!

peace all

Thank you! I'll have another go.

a very simple way to start out... Just make one wheat feild, then place a grainery some place centralized in the city. It has a giant radious and will keep all your people well feed.

this will let you go about making your city at a very relaxed pace
