Strategy[]

Since Indigo can only be produced on southern islands, it can be useful to create the entire Book Production chain on a southern island with Indigo fertility and a river for the Paper mill. Additionally, the productivity of the Paper mill can be capped at 50% by only giving it access to one Lumberjack's hut. To do this, keep your Trade buildings outside of the Paper mill's Influence area.
