Caesar III : Pottery not found

[Horace Ho]

Lots of pottery is inside a warehouse.
The market place is two blocks next to
the warehouse. The residential area is
complaining of no pottery. What happen?

BTW, when I check the market place, oil
and wine are right there...

Thanks

This usually means the market ladies are spending all
their time getting food. By the time the market lady
brings in food to replace the previous shortage, it's
below the level she wants, so out she goes again. You
have oil and wine because she stocked up on them at some
time in the past but without pottery they never get
used. I see this a lot when I upgrade housing; it's
a lot more work to maintain all 5 supplies than just food.

You probably need more markets or stocked granaries nearer
the markets.

Alternatively, you may also have set pottery to "stockpile"
in your trade adviser.

Another point to note.

Please don't advance your city too fast.

Concentrate on pottery for a while, until you see that each house has about
100 - 200 units of pottery each, then you advance to furniture and so on. Of
course, throughout this while, you will have to make sure that you have
enough farmland to feed the new comers.

If you balance it correctly, you can actually house 600++ people with just
18 units of houses. That's the way I usually begin my city. I never advance
beyond these units of houses until they have at least a fair amount of
advancement from pottery.

Remember, fast evolution means fast de-evolution as well. So watch that
Prosperity rating.

Good luck and happy playing.

Incidentally, I'm finishing up at Praetor, going on to Consul.

Thanks very much for your suggestion. I advance my city too fast.
This problem does not show up in early assignments (because I
did not know how to build a city quick :-)

Last night I finished my last assignment... ^_^
