Need to ask a BB admin, you should reach lvl 17 by killing bandits, theres a green bar under your avatar with the amount of exp you need to level

Yes.. I just leveled up to 17 and it was the first real grind... i killed all the bandits in southeast sector and a couple bandit camps in the middle sector and bingo, level 17.. it is a balancing act on your economy.. you have to tweak the resources to build up army.. it took me 36 hours to grind from 16 to 17 and i couldn't keep up with the coal production needed to fuel the bronze sword production. Finally!!!

No secret just keep clearing yr island & later do adventures, once you have enuf population you will be able to have excess settlers to make plenty of troops from. I am only level 34 & currently have 4k troops on hand with population 4950, quite a few noble houses to get that.
The higher yr level the easier it is to gain more levels, make sure yr economy can support making as many troops as you need, read up on the forum guides for the adventures to see what troops you need instead of randomly building them & plan ahead on what adventures you wish to do so u have the right combination of troops. Excess bread can be used so that you have settlers in yr star menu to create instant ones to be queued up in yr barracks.
