This is only my second utility that I've uploaded to the Blacksmith. In it, you'll stroll through various scenes where infinitly productive farms and their possible uses, for eye-candy and gameplay, are presented. This utility expands off Ruler of Hell's "Unlimited Farms" template; including his idea while adding in my own discovery and using more representations. I hope you find this useful, and please leave a review or player comment if you can. Enjoy!
Edit: I forgot to include Lothar's "Immobile Units AI Gold" in the utility, but you need it to play. If you don't have that exact file, but you do have another one of its variants, (i.e. ADVANCED_Immobile Units AI, etc.) then simply load the scenario, chnage the player's script for players 2,3,4,and 5 to your different version; save the changes, and it will still work. |

The power of the trick is that freeze object effect works not only on preexisting farms, but on any farm. This means we can change the basic mechanics of the game to that of say AoM or EE, where farms give a constant supply of food without running out. In addition the utility also shows how the effect can also be applied to a specific area, such as an irrigated area.
The triggers involved are all explained thoroughly, and the presentation style gives you ample time to look around and to go at your own pace. The map design is of a high quality as well, especially the irrigated area, which looks superb.
Additional Comments (Hair-splitting Note: This doesn't affect rating)
One small fault in the utility is that at one point you seem to indicate that if you want to select the whole map as the area you must drag a box across the map; this isn't necessary as the whole map is the default area.
Overall: 5.0
A great new expansion on the infinite farms trick, which will become a part of the core scenario designing tricks for AoK. |

This is not so for me. When you set the trigger effect, there is no area or object(s) set. Maybe we have different versions of the game.(Or one of us is simply messed up.) But nonetheless, I'm glad to see you found it useful. Thanks again for your reviews/comments. |

One other fault I may see is that it may not actually gain food faster; when i tested a scenario, the farm went from 177 food and about 10 seconds later to 176 so it may sometimes slowly lose food. I guess it depends on if wheelbarrow or hand cart is researched. |

The Infinite Farms trick by Magnum Pi is an expansion on the Unlimited Farms trick by Ruler of Hell. The trick means that the Food Limit for Farms in never ending so they never run out of food. This is a very useful trick especially in cut-scenes and RPG scenario when you have AIs farming and they suddenly stop because the farms die.
Magnum Pi has expanded on Ruler of Hells trick by discovering a way to make trigger-built farms infinite as well. This is done by using the Freeze Unit effect rather than the Patrol effect.
This trick is really useful and I would recommend it to anyone who is having problems with Farms or people creating PRGs and Cinematic Scenarios.
Quality/Instructions: 5
The Infinite Farms trick is flawless. It works a treat and I have never found any problems with it. It is perfect and never makes farms run out of food. It is perfect for Cinematic and RPG scenarios as I stated above.
The Instructions provided include a cinematic explaining how to create infinite farms as well as a detailed description of the process in the Hints section. There is also a little bit where you can roam around and see lots of different ways in which this trick can be used.
Additional Comments:
Overall a top quality utility and a perfect trick that is flawless. It has incredibly clear instructions and is really really useful. I recommend it to all scenario designers.
