Date Palm Plantation (Rural)

Date Palm Plantation (Rural)

The game ships no picture of its own for this level and shows the Farms+1 picture instead.

A simple yet essential operation, sweetening daily life one palm at a time, this modest date plantation provides a sweet addition to the region’s produce.

A city without dates is like a ship without sails, slow, tasteless, and prone to disaster.

In the sun-baked regions, dates are more than just a snack, they’re a vital part of the economy and diet. A fruitful enterprise, if you can stomach the sticky fingers!

This small date plantation grows the sweet fruits that sustain traders, farmers, and anyone with a sweet tooth. More dates mean more wealth, but also more sticky fingers among the workers, keep an eye on them!

Though modest in size, it keeps both bellies and markets content, ensuring there’s a little sweetness amid the desert heat.

Palm Wine Maker (Rural)

Palm Wine Maker (Rural)

The game ships no picture of its own for this level and shows the Farms+2 picture instead.

A place where the nectar of the deserts is made.

As the demand for dates grows, so too does this plantation. Expanded fields and better irrigation allow for a more substantial harvest, feeding both the local populace and trade caravans passing through. But where there is sweetness there is also the potential to make a good strong drink. This workshop turns the sap of the palm tries or the date fruit into a delightfull refreshment.

With alcohol now in the offering, expect more caravans to stop by and perhaps linger in the town.
