ok, i was wondering if anyone knew a way in the sixth land i think ( the second land where you face tha japanese) if there was some way of getting loads of metal, since my mine next to my town has run out of metal, and since ive conquered the 2 town cut of from the japanese with my 7 samurai (side quest thingy), they start attacking me with catapults, i was doing fine with only my creature against the normal units, since they couldnt do significant dame to my walls, but now i have a entire section missing, and i cannont replace it since i have 0 ore...

capture more towns and steal ore from ones you already have.

And take care of the catapults with your own catapults. Use less ore for building and impress the japs into submisission, it takes a while but you save more ore in the long run.

if u need to sort out ore problems u just need to make loads of mineworkers and they will home in on the nearest chunk of ore they can get there hands on.... even if it is on the other side of the island
