The Veteran General is faster, holds 250 troops, and can potentially be bought during events, using event currency. He's still one of the most expensive that you can get, so even during an event, you'll have to save all of your currency just to get him, but he's worth it.
Never be too nervous to ask your friends or guild mates for help. As long as you also help them in return, there's no reason to do everything alone.
If a quest asks you to buy something, but doesn't require you to give up the resource, in order to finish the quest, you can ask a trusted friend or guild mate to let you borrow some, and then return it after the quest has completed. The reverse, selling something, is also true. As long as you trust them, you should be willing to let them borrow something of yours, since it saves on resources in the long run.
To maximize your resource production potential, place buildings as close to a storehouse as possible to reduce wasted travel time. Any building that doesn’t produce resources, such as Residence buildings, should be placed away from storehouses.

You can turn off anything you aren't using. Overall you want everything to keep producing while you're away, but some people prefer to turn off the expensive stuff, like gold chains and high tier resource production, when they aren't buffed.
You need three foresters to two cutters, of equal level, for equilibrium.
You will always need tools. Unless you buy lots of gems or get a lot of ore deposit buffs from resource quests, you're going to be building tons of mines over the course of your career as Mayor. And if you need to minimize how many mines your island has, but still need a lot of ore, upgrading each mine to level two will make a huge difference. (You can upgrade them further, but two has generally been enough for my purposes.)
You can refuse a daily quest that you know you won't be able to complete fast enough or which you just don't feel is worth it, that way you can move on to the next one.
In sector one, there are two marble deposits, but only one can be active at a time.
The info dump I did on my guild to help. Reworded some of it for here.
____________
Every Guild has a Chat tab on the left hand side of your screen. Please pay attention to that and watch for a call about a loot spot from your guild members.
What this is and means is a guild member is doing a 2-3 player adventure and is asking for someone to join them to grab the loot.
Normally this means you (the loot spot player) need a general and 5R (Recruits) or 1C (Cavalry)
and that's it.
If a player asks for more he/she will indicate you will get 0 losses and you're are to kill a certain camp only!
Pay attention to what they ask you to do especially if you never seen the adventure before.
They won't be too happy if you kill off a camp they needed to use as a buffer to kill a leader with less losses for them.
Or you don't bring the units they asked you for and they have to wait for you to recover (4 hours by the way for a normal general) to send him home and grab the right ones to come back (another 1 hour for a normal general) to do it again properly.
To get the loot you only need 1 bad guy killed. Even if the camp is still standing so long as it's 1 unit less you are all good :)
Even if you are in an adventure, you can join the loot spot. You just load the required troops and send him to the new adventure. Simple and easy.
If the guild member wants a slot of the loot, he/she will specify so when they announce it. Normally if such is done, they only want the 1st and last loot slot and you keep the rest. If they don't ask for anything that means you keep it all.
If you haven't done an adventure yet, a loot slot is what you get after completing the adventure like killing a camp on your home island. The goodies you collect with the XP points.
So loot slots are normally a chance at:
1st slot: EWL (Exotic Wood Logs) and Granite,
Expert things in higher lvl adventures like Saltpeter and Titanium,
2nd slot: Hardwood or Marble
3rd & 4th slot: Weapons (All weapon types)
5th slot: Food Resources (sausages, brew, bread, settlers)
6th slot: Mine Resources, Gold Coins, Decorations, Buildings, other adventures (This is considered the last loot slot)
7th slot: Your XP gained from killing bad guys (Not trade-able)
8th slot: Some of the big adventures have a chance at another loot slot that also give you huge amounts of something but chances are very bad to get it.
Now once you start running your own adventures and it is for 2 or more players don't forget to ask near the end for a loot spot player to join you. Same way you got to join as a loot spot player.
So the circle continues.
