Been trying the campaign, and I've come to a point where I am asked to build a mine. But without housing I can't level the city up to the required level to build the mines and huts require 1 food to be built... but I have no farms and the build menu has nothing on farms.
the hell?
There should be a pumpkin patch and a wild wheat tile nearby. You can build on them by clicking on them and choosing the build option when they're in your territory.
In non-campaign games, you need to click on the resource surrounding your city that looks like a fertile field. There should be an option to build a farm there. To put it another way, you don't build farms from a city's build menu.
well that helps a great bunch. seriously I was all in the beta mood. that makes things alot easier
I must admit that this irritated me, too. I built my city right next to a nice fertile area and... could not build a farm. The city did not show an option for it. Only by accident I found out that I had to click on the farm tile to build a farm. Perhaps the city should add 'Farm' to its options if a farm tile is within range?
Ciao,

I second this suggestion. It would also allow you to pick which city the resource will go to if there is a resource between 2 cities.
Nea, it's OK as it is.
I mean I had the same problem after the beta, but after you get used to idea it's falls well into the game logic.
I've been unable to lcoate the menu/option. Where is it supposed to be?
This, to me, is exactly the problem. No where does it say you need to click on it and then click the "build farm" button. I played my first game for over 2 hours wondering why the option to build a farm didn't become available despite my research.
An nice .. um.. manual would have solved it.
Still, f'ing love the game. But the manual really really stinks fellas.
