Need a bit of help with escaping the island (atlantian). I can't seem to get to the lake to build the shipyard in time before too much infrastructure has been damaged by the floods, any pointers? Also, how close does the shipyard has to be?

Aah.. don't spoil the mission for others by asking such questions. Now everyone knows what happens on this map.

Try to build a warehouse soonish and expand quickly. The shipyard needs to be pretty close to the lake (8 or so fields at maximum).

LOL, apologies, Was hoping I could resort to a recent savegame rather than starting afresh. Will try again over the weekend from the beginning of that one. I had problems getting the lazy good for nothing miners to work so left it on [x50] for ages fearing attack.

Will report in after...
