Beginner Pro Tips

Watch your tools #'s - low levels especially. You cannot manufacture them until you reach level 11.

More fish = more buffing plates!!!

Send your explorer to find treasure!!!

When your out of buffs and a building needs attention,cic on it-put it to sleep then chic it awake

BATTLE: if you can take out all the army using cavalry at the beginning, u won't loose any units or combine w/ other units to reduce loss

[PlasticKiller]

Dont build wildly, it will eventualy cause you the inability to build anything.

Whisper Garen, u wont go down the wrong path. @.@

other than that... Remember to keep the number of ur stone marson = 2 time amount of fir wood cutter early game. That would allow u a balanced eco and progress much faster.

Settlers enter any building , workfield from the south east side, so your main aim is to make sure that direction is closet to the storehouse/mayor house.

DO NOT BUY stuffs from trade channel ( unless u can be sure it's a good price) . Most of people are willing to sell at a lower price if u ask directly or ask on chat, because posting an offer which expires in 5 minutes is too much of a hassle.

Spaming in chat asking for fish plate buffs is good on first day, but on the 2nd day onward, u probaly better off upgrade fisheries and self buff, since it still give u good profit if u dont have that much time online.


IMPORTANCE: never let free building license. FIR wood related buildings only cost 10 tools to build, hence always try to put them up to get a quick return. They tend to pay back themsevles in about 3-5 hours which is less than an average night sleep.

Save ur gold to buy a 2nd explorer right away. U may think the rewards are too low but it get crazy good at lvl 20. So why wait?

Spam add friends on high lvl people, some of them are quite nice and dont mind it. U can take a look at their town ( many of them have crappy inefficient towns btw) to look at them as reference for both good and bad points, so u can avoid or copy it for ur own littlel towns.

if u want to ignore someone, type /help it will list all the commands. Some trolls are better to be removed out of everyone's life, but u cant really kill them off as it is illegal and unethical.... LOL


Last tip : avoid sensitive words, some may argue that if people cant take it up then get off the internet but i totally disagree with this. If they think that they can troll/talk **** freely on the internet then i doubt they are any good in their real life. They are probaly some cowards who cant solve their own problems in real life and take it out on peeps who just want to have some funs in their free time on the net. @.@

upgrade wells at least to lvl 2 every time they deplete. they only cost tools. Of course this assumes you already have a tool maker :P

Fish Buffing:

If your fishery is level one you will not get any more fish by buffing. It will cost you at least one fish for each extra fish. So you end up with no extra fish since it cost you one fish to get each fish. The only time it is worth buffing a fishery is if it is level 2 or higher.

Pro Tips: The Do's and Don'ts of Castle Empire

Don't trade your gold for basic resources and raw materials. Its much more valuable and necessary later. Just be patient, buff your buildings often, and improve your production chains.

Never waste valuable resources upgrading residential houses. Once you reach level 19 the Noble Residence can be built at a fraction of the cost. Additionally, you can use gems to buy a Noble Residence deed (+30 pop.) from the shop menu and is probably the best value in there!

Always keep your explorer(s) busy. An idle explorer is a costly waste. He finds valuable resources to boost your economy with every treasure hunt!

Consider carefully before placing buildings. Only production buildings should be built around your store houses and mayor's house. Buildings such as the barracks, residences, trade branch office should be built out away from production chains since they waste a lot of space and do not function based on production times for efficiency.

Review production chain before upgrading within it. While it is always a good thing to upgrade production buildings and free up building licenses, be sure to account for the added increase in the raw materials it will use as well. For example, when you upgrade a weaponsmith, it will double the # of weapons produced during the same overall production cycle, but will also require double the materials. Without enough resources to support this function, the upgrade will not benefit you since your production chain will be idle half the time.
