Ropes require Hemp (the same one that lets you produce clothing)

IIRC the Ropeyard is a Citizen-level building. The amount of Citizens you need to unlock it is shown when you mouseover on the greyed out building icon

Oh, easy.

One thing you must know is not all your peasants will rank up to citizens... the game strives to be realistic, so you don't end up with a gleaming city only consisting of noblemen.

Therefore, you must create even more peasant houses... a percentage of it will stay as peasants even with all needs fulfilled, but the rest will rank up towards citizens.

Same process applies from citizens --> patricians --> noblemen

And also for nomads --> envoys

Oh... that! I forgot to tell you also, anything below dark green and they won't rank up. When you want to rank up, set back the taxes, other times, SUCK THEIR MONEH >:-)

But I guess you already know now

Game is super smooth for me, even with fully inhabited island. Check my sig for specs. Everything on max, 1680x1050.

One thing, beware of this game.. it's evil Everytime I start the game, my sleep schedule all GG. Today I played until 9:30am, since last afternoon. That's almost 15-18 hours! Only stopped for dinner (skipped lunch) >< Super addictive man!

Grats btw

I think they purposely employed the help of the creators of Settlers in this game, to animate those inhabitants and other stuff properly

LOL! I haven't even started campaign mode still playing maps in custom mode
