But in humid regions, Rice grows at peak efficiency. Rice, for example, grows very poorly in arid regions. As you can imagine, the quality and level of food production changes depending upon the region. Under these conditions, your farms can function very efficiently.Ĭlimatic Regions: As specified earlier, China is divided into three separate climatic regions (see p.22). This flexibility also allows you to have your farms grow a wide variety of different crops (i.e., one farm can grow both millet and wheat, or rice and millet, or three different types, or four, etc.). This allows you more flexibility in where you place your farmland and the size of your farms. Unlike previous city-builders (such as Pharaoh and Zeus), farmhouses and the fields that they tend are separate entities, and must be placed separately on the map. An effective food production and distribution system is paramount to the advancement of your city. Without food, your citizens go hungry, city hygiene drops, unrest occurs, etc. Food production and distribution are fundamental parts of Emperor.
