Beginner Pro Tips

Pro tip:
If you want a little bit different strategy such as I, captializing on production mainly to begin with is not a bad idea if you have the storage. The first building I upgraded was a storehouse which gave me either 200 or 300 more space and I built one extra storehouse other than the one involved in the quests early on which totaled a space of 1100 units by level 15 i could store. I took advantage and had 8 masons working 5 deposits and numerous fir tree cutters which I made into bouth hardwood and fir wood planks. Overall point is, if you are majorly focused on production upgrading a storehouse or your Mayors house isn't a bad idea as I never had to turn anything off and it allowed me to produce as much as I wanted without worry of overflow.

Alt+F4 doesn't open the secret cow level regardless of how many times people boast of it in global chat.

Maybe a warning when resources in storage are getting too high or too low would be nice.

Have the daily tips accessible in game rather than just on the log in window. I see people making a lot of mistakes that those tips warn how to avoid.

1) Keep an eye on resources like wheatfields, quarries, copper mines etc. The are "exhaustable".
2) Send your geologist out frequently to discover new resources so as you need to, you can add them.
3) Keep two wheatfields for every farm (and remember, two farms can work off one field, but they exhaust it quickly).
4) Watch water comsumption; add wells before you run out of water.

For some reason, when I first started, I thought I was limited on population, even after building the first residence and gaining some. I went a day or two stuck against the population limit until I figured it out.

Pro Tip:

If you are unsure of what you want to do next, go get some sleep and let your inventory fill up.

Send your Explorer out before you go to bed -- that way he's busy while you're sleeping and you awake to treasure, etc.

Pro Tip:

Always be nice and make friends early! Friend buffing lasts longer than buffing yourself with fish plates. The more active your friends, the better!

#1: Keep your town layout organized. Don't just build all over the place, because if you do, that affects your workers ability and speed times to get to your buildings to build them, dependent upon your resources. In other words, the further from town center = longer worker has to travel to store materials.
#2: Use your geologist to explore for stone deposits 1st, then copper deposits 2nd. Then build masons nearby stone mines, eventually copper mines.
#3: Similarly, use your explorer to find an open sector for you so you can go build a new storehouse there, to build and expand your empire!
#4: Listen to more experienced players and learn from them.
#5: Have fun!
