Farming Guide
This is not your typical hunting guide. This is what I have found works for me. Every player gets to the point where food is a high priority. Many players will advise building large numbers of cavalry because they can carry the most resources. When you attack another player or a fort it is important to have troops to carry the resources back. My approach is different. I prefer infantry. Infantry cannot carry as much and are as fast as cavalry. However, you can have 4 infantry to 1 cavalry in terms of cost in food. 4 infantry can carry a lot more than 1 cavalry. You need to be more patient. If you have coins, move your city somewhere where there are either many forts or many inactives. These are your farms. Attack twice a day and you can keep your warehouses full. Inactives are easiest because there is no army or defenses. Forts take work and seige engines. Lots of them and you must command or lose your infantry. With the resources you can build a bigger army (more prestige) or sell on the market or donate to your alliance. By building alone from farming resources I can gain over 40000 prestige per day. Top 50, here I come.
I will try this way when I reach enough troops
