Added a new section called Building Tips. You will be able to access them from the graphic to your right. Many thanks to Hellcow for the majority of the tip. I have also added a tutorial that I found on Feargus Urhquart's blog. I did ask for permission, but got no reply so if Feargus objects I will of course remove it from this site. Tutorial can be found here. Enjoy.

Added the watermill plugin in the plugin section. This is a great plugin and gets around the restictive nature of water heights in the same tile. Also added a Weather Changer plugin to the plugin section.
