The idea here is a cheap Plow you can play early to jump start a Sowing strategy. However to balance the cheap cost, i add the sacrifice of making the owner plow the center 3 spaces on their farm. chris

To me, that's not much of a sacrifice. The middle 3 spaces are a great place to put a row of fields. slim

Are they? With fields in the middle of your farm, you can't build large pastures. You'll need to Plow more, build stables, or build a large home to fill up your farm.		 chris

You can still build the 15 fence 4 pasture format. You can still build the 13 fence 3 pasture that so many people build. Yes, you will need to build at least 4-6 rooms, and plow 0-2 more times, but this tends to work with my normal building strategy. slim

I think the confusion was the "middle spaces." When I first read it, I pictured:

Oh right. Yes I pictured the same middle spaces as tacticus. Yes I agree that the middle plow you created requires a large sacrifice. slim

UPDATE:

i made the text clearer.

=====
Now that you understand which 3 spaces i'm talking about, do you think the cost is correct? I'd like to make it cheaper and/or remove the prereq if it will stay balanced.		 chris

I think it could be cheaper. tacticus
