Few more things I don't understand

January 17, 2011 7:21 PM from

How come when I start a new game, in some games, I can make huts right away, and in other starts, I can't. It says I don't have enough food. So where should I be looking to see where this food is coming from on the very first turn?

Also using the same settings, sometimes I can start research on the very first turn, and in other I can't because it says I don't have any scholars, or something like that, but I can research spells.

So what am I missing or not understanding here?

It's an exploitable game bug unfortunate feature of how the game sees turn 1.

Start your city, save, and then reload. Not only will you be able to build a hut the first turn (assuming your sov has the green thumb +2 food talent), your city's influence will start as a 3x3 square. This will allow you to build a farm on turn 1. (You're better off with green thumb and a hut.)

You will also be able to research on turn 1, assuming your sov generates arcane and tech knowledge.

Also you can research on turn 1 if your lucky to hire a nearby hero scientist or scholar for archane research.
