Sonja

 

Background

Sonja is a sexy, cutlass-wielding pirate with a thirst for grog and a penchant for pilfering other people's booty. As captain of the Santa Lucia, she sailed the seas with her crew of miscreants, finding fortune and adventure in every port.

The pirate's life was good… until the Gloom arrived. Sonja's beloved ship was caught in the murk and ran aground, sinking to the depths and taking her treasure – and presumably her crew – along with it. Although she searched unsuccessfully for years for the missing sailors, she still holds out hope that one day, she will be reunited with her hearty men.
For now, Sonja spends her time on shore searching for lost treasure, trying to catch a magic gift-giving fish, and plotting revenge against the Dark One for sinking her ship. And while she's on land, maybe she'll find a new first mate and take him – or her – along when she returns to the sea. As she likes to say, any port in a storm!

Likes

  • The 2 G's: grog and gold
  • Dueling and carousing
  • Her cutlass, Valiant
  • Treating every mate like they're the first.
  • Plundering the finest booty

Dislikes

  • Running out of gold
  • Cowards and weaklings
  • That wretched Dark One and his Gloom
  • Barnacles that won't come off no matter how hard you scrape
  • Playing fair – where's the fun in that?

George


 

Background

George is a former viking who originally comes from a rough village of warriors in the far north seas. He was raised as a warrior and after years of fighting and eating almost nothing but meat, George grew to be one of the strongest men in his village. While plundering a nearby Kingdom, George was separated from the other vikings when a cloud of Gloom settled over the land.
Marooned in a strange land, George was welcomed into a friendly village where he used his great strength as a miner, breaking and carrying massive rocks. George had never known a life in which people worked together in peace and helped one another, but he instantly liked it. From that day George exchanged his battle axe for a pickaxe and vowed never fight again.
One day, George got a bit carried away in his digging and inadvertently dug his way clear through and entire mountain! George found himself lost in the Gloom on the other side. He then began blindly wandering the Gloom, hoping to find a friendly Kingdom where he can again live in peace helping others.

Likes

  • His trusted canary. He always names them Jack.
  • His pet rock, Skippy (Skippy is really good at sit and stay).
  • Bright, long-burning candles – it can get dark in those mines!
  • A good leg of mutton. Or chicken. Or turkey – any animal, really.
  • Flowers – daffodils are his favorite – but don’t tell anyone!

Dislikes

  • Weapons or violence of any kind.
  • Eating his vegetables, especially broccoli.
  • Taking a cold bath – it reminds him of the dangerous northern seas.
  • The darkness of the Gloom – even his brightest candles can't light that stuff!
  • Long boat rides. He was the only Viking that ever got seasick.

50% Production Reduction

Below is a photo of a layout that produces all plots at 50% production time.





To achieve this, make sure your river is back to back.
You can expand them out and they will look the same. When placing your row of water make sure it's all red when you're done. Any green high lights means you need to place a piece of water in it's place.
You can copy the picture here, or simply play with your plots to get 50%.
When moving the plots it will highlight "place plots here to get X%"

Happy Farming!!
