I have setup an alliance with some friends. Continent 15/36.

We still have no clue about what we are doing though.

I will get a city up on 51 next I guess, just need some more moonstones on Server 2 :-)

I dont know when the real game is starting but , so far it's a game I see my self playing. IF we can make a Legion alliance and be all on the same server/continent.

I never really play that kind of game before, what can we expect in long term of playing ? Alot of strategies ? Politics ?

[Sandsnake]

I'll personally never have time to metagame every again, but who knows? I'm sure we still have guys able and willing. Doubt it'll ever be a PA hayday kind of thing though. So far, the game doesn't seem particularly designed for that sort of thing. Travel times are a bitch.

[Icewolf]

I think politics will be really important, not as much as in PA days, but that's also a good thing ;-)
They will not reset the current worlds, but add new worlds over time, so when they add a new server, maybe we can all try to start together, but getting all on the same continent is really a problem for alliances in this game.

On Server 1 the alliance I'm in (Top 10) is currently trying to focus on one continent and make this a stronghold, so that everyone is creating a new city there if they don't have one yet.

So whats the deal here. I am currently at 2400 wood per hour, 1400 stone etc etc. Can only find level 1 dungeons to raid. got 3 days before Im open to attack...what should I concentrate on. Not in an alliance. Town Hall is 7, Moonglow tower is 5. Not sure what to do next lol

[Icewolf]

Don't build a castle until you are sure you can protect yourself (and get a second city asap).
In order to get a second city, you need monnstones (50k from each resource, can be build in a lvl 10 Moonglow tower). Next you'll need a lvl 10 temple to recruit a baron.

After that you can decide to found a new city (from scractch, you can decide where and you don't need a castle for that) or to conquer another city (you'll need a castle and the new city will keep the castle as well).

In the beginning I would go the peaceful way, so you have at least 1 or 2 cities you can fall back if your main city is being conquered. Also make sure you have at least one city close to the water, so you can get trade and war ships.

There is also a really nice tool to plan city layouts, I use this all the time:

A normal city for me has these stats when maxed out:
20-25k wood/hour
18-23k stone/hour
5-8k iron/hour
5-8k food/hour
1500-1800% construction speed
3-4 markets
2-3 harbors
4-5 Townhouses

Later on some specialized resource cities make sense. This my main city on Server2, new ones are better already:

me, ]x[, Gatewayy, Slak, Chocotoff and Sandsnake are in Hx on Continent 15/36. We might not be as big as Givens, but we always have room for more people :)

[Ripcat]

Once cottages get to lvl 5 they contribute the same % as resource fields, so would we all be better off getting rid of resource fields once we are lvl 5+ on cottages?

[Icewolf]

resource fields are not counting against the building limit, so try to make use of both

[Ripcat]

redid a lot of my city. up to 4700 wood 3300 stone atm. But using it all as soon as I get it upgrading stuff lol.
