Beginner Pro Tips

Build multiple water wells. They don't count against your building licenses!

Upgrading your buildings may be more efficient than building more of the same type. Keep those housing licenses always in mind!

#1 Pro Tip: don't trade your gold for any resources people offer you. You will need all of your gold later for upgrading buildings!!!! Gold is much more valuable than most resources people try and sell you.

Build your Residences away from your Mayor House/Stockpiles. They take up valuable space that other buildings could benefit from being close at hand!

I think this is an excellent point!

Pro Tip: Be 100% certain you want to place a building in a particular spot BEFORE you actually place it. If you decide to cancel the building because you want to build it elsewhere, you will lose resources.

This SHOULD be mentioned in the tutorial. Maybe as a pop-up window the first time you try to do it. Many players may not wait around (or immediately understand) the tooltip that appears when you place your cursor over the demolition icon.

When building your first buildings remember they are there to stay so put them neatly on your land and close together so you don't waste space and land.

Tip: you can click on bandit camps to see what is in them -- took me a while (and several lost battles) to figure this out.

[Lancelot]

even if you don't have the resources, you can still build up to 3 buildings and they will automatically build once the resources become available. great for building overnight or during work

[Anthony-Dupuis]

Build 2 of the fir cutters, 2 of the stone cutters, 2 of ad nausea because when you run short of an item you might as well go take a nap while you wait for stock to replenish.

attack just before you end your day, so next time u log back in, the settlers will be replenished ready to be recruited again
