2. When the next unit (a Settler) begins blinking, move it one square in another direction.
When you have made all the moves you want to make (or all that the game allows), the
Turn Done button is highlighted. Click Turn Done to start your next turn. Information
for the city is updated. (The city changes and grows, simply through the passage of time
reflected in the turns.)
3. Click the City to see the city window. Notice that information about the city has been
updated. In particular, you should see food storage increase. Close the city window.
4. Continue exploring and build a road. With the Explorer flashing, use the numeric keypad
to move it another three sections. When the Settler begins blinking, press R to build a road.
A small R appears on the square to remind you that the Settler is busy building a road.
Click Turn Done.
