Hi there!

It's been about 4 years since I gave away everything and stopped playing since I was too busy with work and school.

That being said, I want to get back into it but I'm having trouble remembering everything and could use some help.

1. Points... help me understand those again. The foundations I make have a lot of points because I'm under the threshold of 20,000 (I think?). Points are important because.... hbs? I'm not sure since I have returned and had over 5 million hbs (now 4.8 since I've been spending).

2. Breeding... I remember I liked drafts and I'll stick with that. I remember how eras work and I'm wanting to focus on 16/17 since I'm just starting out again.

3. Age... horses age up 1 year in game for every one month in real life, correct?

4. Barns/Pastures... I have the primary barn (81), 2nd barn (90), 3rd barn (60), 4th barn (60), and 5th barn (90). I have the primary pasture (60), a 2nd pasture (30), and a 3rd pasture (10). I need help deciding what to do with these. Do I decide on a few good studs and throw a bunch of mares with them in a pasture? I suppose that seems a bit boring to me, but I never remember the game being boring so I must be forgetting something. I've already put poor breeding but high point horses in a "working" barn which I had previously labelled 4 years ago. I presume I named it that to put horses that would earn money but not breed.

5. Getting More Horses... I only have a few. I have plenty of hbs, should I just keep finding good herd helpers that I like and make more and more horses? I have under 20 now.


Anything else? I've gone through the FAQs and all that but I think my questions extend just past where those end.

Thank you!
