Settlers IV How Do You Grow Agaves?


Question Posted Saturday August 12 2006, 3:00 pm

My partner and I have been playing this game and normally play the the Romans. However, this time I was a Mayan and I cannot figure out how to grow Agaves! I had loads of Agave farms and there was just nothing happening, even though Settlers were occupying the buildings.

I'm really confused and the Manual doesn't say how to grow the plants so has anyone tried this before because I really feel like throwing my PC out the window right now!!!!

Agave is really easy to grow. Agave is a succulent and can thrive in almost any condition with the exception of cold weather. They can be planted as a ground cover or in pots, depending on what you want to achieve. The soil needs to be a little sandy, basically not 100% fertile soil. It likes to be watered once a week and fertilized once a month, but it can also go for long periods of time w/o these things and survive just fine. Agave is the cactus that the Mexicans make tequila with. You can also purchase the juice of Agave in health food stores as a great sweetener to replace processed sugar. It is 30 times sweeter than sugar and tastes a little bit like butterscotch. Another really interesting fact about Agave is that diabetics can eat Agave because it doesn’t raise their insulin levels which make it a much better alternative to artificial sweeteners. Good luck with your game!




Namaste!

I haven't played it, but doing a Google search, I found this question and answer:

Q: Where should I plant the agaves of the Mayans?
A: The agaves are growing only in the desert.

And here is a thread I found:

...in which someone has the same problem. And the answer they receive is similar to what I found above:

"The agave farms need their working area to be on desert. You can have the buildings themselves on the surrounding grass though."

Hope this helps!
