Second City

Is it important where I build my second city?

Would I want to be close to or far from my original city?

Will people try to steal it as soon as I build it? Do I need to stock it with troops to defend it?

Does it work just like your first city, where you upgrade buildings and build troops?

How does it work moving troops between cities?

Any other insight?

Thanks

1.It is important where you build your city.
2.I would build it 15 min away so you have more people to attack.
3.They will take as soon as it is built it will take 10 hits to get your second city.
4.It does work just like your main city with the upgrading and troops nothing different.
5. For moving the troops it takes the time to get between the cities and for cavs the time is cut in half,for cats the time is doubled, and for inf and archers it takes the time shown on the map

There are advantages to keeping the city close, and far.
Depends on what you're aiming for.

I tell my alliance members this a lot.

The Advantages/Disadvantages of a Close City:
Easy resource/troop transport - very little time required for both.
People who might want to take your city personally will know exactly where it's at, simply by searching you.
A close city is better for simply a resource gaining facility. It doesn't help much at all for any kind of extra attacking base because it's so close to your original city.


The Advantages/Disadvantages of a Far City:
Could take hours to transport troops. Literally.. all... day... long..
Resources still take maybe a max of ten minutes though
More areas to attack, or be closer to
A far city is more for hardcore players, who want to be able to attack others with less time.

A few hints:

People can only attack you five times in 24 hours - so it is very hard for someone, unless they have others helping, to take your city.

It is better to conquer someone else's second city because resource upgrades transfer to the new owner if the city is taken over

Resources/Citizens/Upgrades do not transfer between cities but Money/Coins/Tech Upgrades do transfer.




Also.. the last post replied I'd like to point out Cavalry does cut the transfer time in half, Infantry takes the amount of time shown. But I do believe Catapults TRIPLE the time.. Can this be confirmed? Or is Fey crazy? ;o

When should you really consider building a new city? If it is so hard to defend...

Second cities are not hard to defend it is just like your main city nothing different

Don't build one, steal one

it is important where u put ur city......i have 1 i built next to me 1 that is near no one at all in a fort and oasis rich area...and the other i stole

they are exactly like ur main but u start all over...
it is really easy to keep them..and they r useful at some times..
when u start getting negative crop u can just send ur troops to ur branch

and btw i didnt read an other post so sry if someon said all the stuff

ONE MORE QUESTION. lets say im transporting 2000 resources of wood over but my second city only have valid 800 capacity... will i lose the rest of my resources?

Cities are like never conquered unless you really peeve someone off lol

Yes you will lose the rest of the resources so either upgrade your warehouse or don't ship that much to that city. Also I say hide your cities in "the hills" AKA where there is almost no civilization and a lot of oases/forts.
