Hints

Free traders will bring you tools, which are necessary for
early growth, so set your warehouse to buy tools when the
game starts.

You can save valuable farmland by relying almost entirely
on fishing huts to feed your people; build lots of them and
make sure you can spare the carts to transport building
materials.

You can crank your tax rate up to the maximum as long as
you keep your citizens supplied with the luxuries they want.
