Fisheries must be built on land.
@Whistle_Pig and @Captbnut
Just checking: you both know that you only get two goods with your chosen fishery placements, when you could get 3 (or 4 for Captbnut), right?
I spent a considerable amount of time yesterday evening working out the placement that would get me the most resources, and then promptly forgot it this morning. Iāll edit if thatās okay with you.

No, I didnāt.
25-18, 26-18 looks better
Iāve edited. Thanks for the heads-up
25-18, 26-18 is entirely outside your ZoC. 25-18, 25-19 gives the same result while also being a legal placement.

I think I know the answer but I canāt find it specifically in the rulebook.
Can I build a farm over polluted land?
And now we know why every Pendragon campaign has a manor thatās known as Dead Horse Mireā¦

Shudders. Cared more about the survival rolls for horses than for wives.

Fisherman at 25-18, 26-19 Pearls please
Edited (again!)
@Captbnut still not a legal placement!
If you were asking specifically for a rules quote:
Farms are built on a hex of unpolluted grass within the zone of control.
ā¦
Put pollution markers, covered by the appropriate farm goods, on all unpolluted grass directly adjacent to the original one.

@Whistle_Pig looks to me like you donāt have any wood to build that fishery.
EDIT: As a possible fix, you could retroactively not build the harbour, and build the fishery on 3-17, 4-18, for example. Depends whether you had plans for that grass spot.

I can see myself getting really frustrated if I were playing a game like this. And at the same time enjoying it when the bits finally clicked together. Thanks to Benkyo and others, I donāt have to play to find out.

I think the PBF format must be contributing a lot to all these errors. When I play, I certainly find myself frustrated being unable to do what I want to do due to a failure to set it up several turns earlier, but I never found myself frustrated by a rule.
On the other hand, PBF is a great format to learn the rules, and take back mistakes.

Sorry. That one was a typo

It definitely does for me. My fishery error, for example - I was mistakenly applying the rule for farms to building a fishery (i.e. I thought I needed a fish instead of wood). If we were playing in person, @Benkyo could have just said āyou need wood for that, not fishā, and I would say āoops, Iāll build an olive farm insteadā and then, crucially, not have forgotten all the corrections again by my next turn 
. In PBF I feel like I end up reading almost the entire rulebook every turn, and missing something important every time 
Still a nice laid-back way to learn a game though!

Am I supposed to be putting a harvest instruction in yet? With my constant mistakes on fisherman placement Iām a bit lost.

With whistle_pigās correction for the countryside build now in, the next step is me updating the map, skipping through storage, and taking harvesting instructions. I just havenāt been able to do the update yet.
Thanks.
Although I think I have a wood to store iirc

Yes, I just meant you all have storage covered.
