From Michael Turton: the word “Elli” produces a New World with an awesome 12 gems.
Self sustainability is your #1 goal. Labor shouldn’t be your main focus, after all what’s the use of unused labor? When I start playing I ask myself this: What resources do I have access too and what are areas I need to focus on? In every game there’s going to be a couple scarce and [...]
Imperialism 1 has such a diverse set of difficulties that what works on Introductory won’t work on Normal, and what works in Normal won’t work on Nigh on Impossible (NoI).

This new version of the Daily Imp is still being tweaked and massaged. Please feel free to offer any input, advice, feedback or complaints by using the Contact page in the main menu... still to do: the categories are a bit of a mess, plus there are some well-known maps that need to have posts about them.
