Looks fine.

Why are you selling your shields?

Wow, someone finally woke up to how much money I'm making off the Breweries and is building their own. You do realize if that is the only one in Timeline's radius you are GUARANTEED to make $1400 a turn.

I have enough Shields stockpiled to finish the Brewery, and thought I'd sell for this turn so I could gather up enough cash to actually DO something next turn . (So far, I've been very restricted because I have NO free cash -- I can't bid on things if I don't have the money to meet my bids ). (If I'm missing the real reason to save shields, please correct me ).

On the Breweries -- I only picked up on it because you told someone else in another thread . Having said that, I'm excited -- as soon as I'm done, even one turns worth of income will be enough to let me actually DO things, and to break out of my no-money troubles .

Breweries:
Tavern gives a 50% bonus up to 5 without expanding it as long as you also sell at least 1 food.

Inn increases that bonus to 100% but requires 1 labor to operate

So with a tavern and inn in Timeline you could make $2800 a turn.
