Hexart City

Thank you. Genuinely.You wrote to us, and a lot of what you wrote was the same thing said fourdifferent ways: the game was not telling you what it wanted. A mine that quietlydid nothing. A button that did not look like a button. A word in your ownlanguage with the accents knocked out of it.We went through every one of those messages.

The crew grows as you plant. • They spread out. They no longer all queue at the same tree — each one takes the nearest thing nobody else is working. • They go to the right thing. A lumbermill that can now see the whole board does not send its woodcutters to the quarry.TRADE — SO A BAD TURN IS NOT THE END------------------------------------The Walls tab has been a "Coming Soon" sign for long enough. It is a tradecounter now.Hand over twenty of a reso...
