Mountain Removal Guide

The following screenshots illustrate what building slots open up for each of the 11 mountains that are removable. Since there are only 8 mountain buffs available and 11 mountains, review the screenshots, take your time & choose wisely. Shots were taken on my test island and on my lovely Calliope_Jeyne's test island. We concentrated on the mountains with a few of the larger rocks and/or rocks close to mountains included. Hope this helps with your planning while saving you some grief and a few gems. Marked all building spots with wheat fields.

Started in Sector 7 at the north west corner of the island and worked clockwise from there.

Removed another large rock, gained enough room for an improved storehouse and 1 other spot.

Note: When I removed this rock on my home island, did not gain enough room for an improved storehouse and 1 slot because I had 4 (2x2) buildings clustered where the watermills are. I moved one of the buildings to get the fit shown above since I'd just paid gems for the storehouse.

Removed 1 rubble on either side of storehouse (2 total). Each yielded 1 spot.

Very nicely done Perwyn.

Thanks for your work on this, Perwyn. Where I couldn't fit storehouses, I just moved the frozen manors.

Awesome guide, thanks for sharing with the community!
