I planted all corn and I traded with the native americans. The town provides good sanitation but poor protection. The castle provides poor sanitation but good protection in the end I was promoted govener.

My strategy that I used to keep the colonist from starving and/dying was trading with the natives and hunting/fishing.
The strategies that i used to keep the colonists happy and not have them turn on me was letting them look for some gold.
My colony's condition at the end of the game was excellent. I even got to be governer!!!

I always had everyone work and I would make them fish and hunt. I built wood forts so that I would not end up with no money. We traded with the indians so that they were not angry at us. I planted wheat and tobbaco because thats what the colonist said he wanted. I also planted corn because that was what the indian girl said kept them alive. At the end of the game Virginia even had a new govenor!

When I left my colony I was eliced the govener ov Veragina. I planeted one plant of wheat one tobacco and some corn. I avouided the moky waters of the streames and hid frome the spanish in the safe waters of the coast. I incored the Naviteves so my men could keep there tobacco but they had to work. Bulit the wood fort, easy to bild and has houes. Digged for gold and hunted. It took about three try and about five mins.

I found James town adventure thrilling.When I played I used the stratagie of ignoring the people,yhen building a wooden fort, I planted wheat,sasafras,and corn my food supply was adaquit anmd the rest was fair.The second time i played i attacked powhatans tribe, built a small castle and planted only tobacco,as a result my people were starving to death,they all died and i was fired. The third time i played i ignored powhatans tribe, built a wooden fort,and planted only corn, i was elected govenor and got all exelent.Ruby

Unknown said...

The way that you can exlent it is if you go to the bottom and land there.Then you put trade and put all the mwn to work.Then you make the men go fishing and hunting.
After that plant corn tabbacco and weat and you will get exlentes and goods. first I died and killed all of my men. then I got rich by minding. omar

To keep my colonists happy i choose the bay as a location. It provied warm climate and a rich food supply which at the end of the game my towns heath was excellent. To keep things fair i put everyone to work, including the gentalmen. To save my town i offered to traid with the native americans and brought peace.I farmed corn, wheat, and tabbacco.And recived alot of whealth. At the end of the game i was elected govenor of Virginia!

Unknown said...

Unknown said...

The strategies I used were to find a good place to take over.For them to not turn on me I did not make the Gentlemen work.The people did not die because I mostly only planted corn. Humberto
