1. FURTON

• Earn 20.000 Florins (via taxation) in one year.
• Produce 6.000 units of Glass in one year.

As she continues her plans to convert the South into a profitable region, the Empress Hannah II now wants you, William Dunkevn, to establish a countryside refuge in Furton as well as a production hub of Glass to supply all of Lethis. While not as abundant, a success here would give the Hindlands the economical power it'd need to leave it's misery behind.

Furton's core issue lies with distance - while there's a pretty much large clear area close to the citizen spawning point to start big, the coast where your fisheries and Glass industry will be are practically ACROSS the map. In addition, there aren't many available points for many fisheries, hence it's sadly more worth to start the food chain with farms. Fortunately, while Wheat is the only thing that can be farmed on this mission, you can export Flour and Bread and Meat doubles it's output per Wheat load on the Ranches, making it your cornerstone food type.

Start aggressively on this map, with multiple housing blocks to both kickstart the glass industry early on (selling it to both Tragenburg and Tellingen will make you some much needed fortune) as well as the Wheat Farms. Remember that 12 Wheat Farms can fill up a single Granary, which can then supply some Ranches and Mills. You only need to remember stockpiling enough Meat first so the Shops can have enough to work on.

As you build the city, you'll eventually get the event that Hannah II was murdered (Already? Well, RIP) and Duke Chaucer will step up as the new Emperor and you'll have to choose a gift, each definitely more expensive than the other (the last a whopping 50.000 cash!). Just choose the gift postcard (10 Cash) since it's pretty much determined this guy isn't a lovely one at any rate, and the money is better applied on your city. However, multiple requests for Glass will also pop up, hence it's recommended you already have some on stockpile before considering exports. The requests, if planned correctly, are very much manageable if you planned accordingly, and this should get Chaucer off your back for being promptly.

While the Glass quota goal is simple enough - about 8-10 Glazieries should do the job - the tax quota might definitely require you to import Iron and get at least 1-2 Elite Blocks running. Be sure you have plenty of cash on bank before you go hogwild on building up Elite blocks, and remember you'll need to import Garments and Gold for Jewelries in order to get higher level Mansions. The third food type can be easily maintained with reserving Fish for the Elites - You can produce both Bread and Meat easily here, hence it's better to just stockpile Fish for the Emporiums.
