After much thought the player has decided to become a Magic faction, so he sets his orders to match this. The player also knows that to study magic, he requires silver (at least 120
per turn/per mage to support the unit and it's study), and a tower to continue study in higher
levels of Magic.
Things the player intends to do this turn.
Create a worker unit to provide silver. The player looks at the report for the amount of
wages to be earned in the city he is in. The report lists the wages as $18 per month (with a maximum of $100314), so the player estimates that a unit with 20 Plainsmen should be enough to support his mage and the worker unit.
Create a builder unit to build a tower. The rules state that a 10 man unit at level one should be able to construct a tower in one month.
Begin magic study, seeking an area of research he is interested in learning. The foundations are listed in the rules as Pattern, Force and Spirit.

The Player has estimated that the workers can earn 360 silv per turn.
With their own wages this will leave 160 silv� 120 will go to the mage,
leaving 40 for saving to buy more Plainsmen. The worker unit has no skill, this
is not a problem for a simple worker unit, as it is only created to work in the
city. Perhaps later the Player will train the unit. The Player has also
created a 10 man building unit� as he is in the city, the unit can buy 10
stone to create the tower required by the mage. The Player has also
changed the factions status to Magic 5. This gives the faction up to 7
Magi to train. The Player then realises he has made a mistake, as he cannot build
a tower without a trade point, so he must re allocate his faction points.
The Player has decided against sending out scouts to investigate territories
for the moment, he wants to concentrate on making enough money to study.

The turn has worked out just as the player planned. The tower was built, the
Workers worked, and the Mage studied. The report has told the player that the
new spell "Earth Lore" can create silver for the Mage, so he will cast it this turn.
The builders have completed their work, building the tower. As the town is not
occupied by any other units entertaining, and the city entertainment budget is $2229
the player will order them to forget Building and study entertainment.
