    I just read through 16 pages of mostly laughable material... Draconus2004 was however on spot in his posts... After reading through all the tips, there is a couple things i did not see. Pro-tip or not, here are my tips

    1. If you use copper ore, and find yourself running short. If you build your copper mines, pause them and upgrade them to lvl 4. get them buffed by a friend/guildie and then turn them on. the mines will be very low on ore when the buff ends giving you full buff time while the mines are running and over 7800 ore. you may need to make more tools for this to work, but it pays for itself

    2. This is not a pro-tip, but i have seen many players even seasoned ones not taking advantage of.. do not only buff your end product buildings, also buff the mid production chain buildings as well EX. smelters,flour mills etc...

    3. If you use premium buffs (red flying settlers, cookie plates, rabbit charms etc) on gold chain, but cant buff your whole line with them use the best buffs on your gold mines, they have a shorter production time therefor gain you the most resources per buff.

    4. Gem use...after buying licenses and VET generals, gain as many savage scouts as you can. Use them to search for adventures, once you can do long searches they easily pay for themselves from the adventures found. ( sure many may say or think otherwise, but they are wrong ) also on this know you can and should buy jolly geos from gem sellers unless you are yourself a steady gem buyer

    5. most importantly remember this is a game, have fun and play it your way.. there is limitless different styles of play, what works for one, may not work for another. This is a community game, play it as such, get a good group of friends and help each other grow/advance. the game is evolving ( albeit slower then most would like) be patient and prepared to evolve your game style with the changes when they do come.. theres my 2 cents, if they are worth even that :P Happy gaming people

    Put things on snooze from time to time, especially if you're running in the red. You can put production buildings in snooze so that your supply or raw material catches back up. When I don't have the time to constantly maintain something I'll rotate what's working - so I'll build my iron mines and have the iron smelts working then i'll put the iron smelts to sleep while i have the iron weaponsmiths working. That's just an example or how using snooze can be a valuable part of balancing chains long term

    Use the trade office to your advantage. If you see a cheap deal, grab it and resell it at a higher price. You can do that all day long and make mad coin if you like day trading.

    Break trades into smaller units. If you want to offload 1000 bronze swords for 50 gold coins, break it up into four lots of 250 bronze for 15 gold coins. You'll make more gold in the end (60) and you'll have more players who can afford the lot. If you have 10,000 tools, the demand for that is very low and the number of players able to afford it is likewise low. Break it into four lots of 2,500 and you'll have a lot better chance of selling it off.

    Scout out prices before you post a trade. If you don't, you waste an entire block of your trade time.
    If the going price for bread is 30 coin for a thousand and you put 1000 on sale for 45 coin you'll never sell it - and you wasted the six hours or so it had your free trade slot tied up.

    Visit your adventure island as soon as you start it and click the quest button. That way your generals will land on the island whether you come back in a half hour or not. Otherwise your generals will wait to land until you first visit your adventure, even if it's many hours later!

    Even better is if you can be around to demolish that level 2 gold mine with just a few gold left in it. 25% of the level 1 building cost is returned to you. This strategy makes it possible to run a gold chain even if you don't have access to golden parrots.

    when you are starting out use TO to your advantage. Pick a resource and buy it at a fair price then resell it for a GC profit or 2. If you study TO you will see that there are times of the day to buy and times to sell. If you are having troubles selling or buying a resouce you can always use a secondary resource to buy or sell it.

    Most important is that this is a game. Have fun, make friends and enjoy your time.

    Try trading resources for other resources, instead of coin. You can often get a much higher value than the coin value of that resource.
