Beginner Pro Tips

[Any0ne]

Pro Tip: its a military game, know that you will lose soldiers in all your battles, build your economy to make as many soldiers as possible. I recommend to either upgrade your bronze weapon smith making or make 2 of them as soon as possible.

Pro Tip: After the FIRST CAMP you destroy, wait and BUILD UP YOUR ARMY. The other camp are "Easy", but you can click on them and see they contain WAY more soldiers. Easy camps are not all equal.

Eat your broccoli (and fish plates).

When attacking camps... be sure to note the red boxes around each camp.. several overlap.. .. If your general crosses into another red camp you will fight those bandits!!

Also.... when placing your garrison take into account which bandit camps you want to attack first... A poorly placed garrison will be a real pain to work out... I learned the hard way...

It is important to place your buildings strategically. Not just for time and resource efficiency, but because you can not move them later. So if you want your empire to look a certain way, plan ahead.

[Daenerys]

wish we could move our buildings.... yes plan ahead.. especially if you are a linear player like me...
Feeeling disorganized...

There seems to be no randomization in where geologists find sources. Therefore, make high level friends, visit their cities, observe their deposit locations. You will most likely have deposit locations in the exact same spots when you send your G man out. Thus you can plan where to place store houses and or masons.

Take it slow and steady in the beginning, don't go too ahead of the tutorial (At least not too much, you need to keep as much tools, until you can build them with a tool maker). Send your explorer out as many times as you can he will help replenish your inventory. Also Explore just two areas until you defeat your first bandit camp (Level 15 aprox.), the more you explore the more bandit camps there are which raises the possibility of your General to attack a camp you did not want to attack (they can have more soldier which may defeat your army if they outnumber yours).

in order to see raw material numbers, u have to be zoomed in far enough. (i'm not sure of a short cut key for those without a scroll wheel mouse).

took me a little while to see the raw material resource numbers cause it starts out a bit too far away, and since i usually play with a mouse pad on my laptop, i did not know we could scroll in. It wasn't till i had my mouse with mouse wheel hooked up and hit the scroll wheel that i realized we could zoom in and that it had numbers for the resources left on raw materials.
