I downloaded this game to get points in another game.
That was a week ago and I haven't played the other game.
I am no expert yet, I haven't done the math why should I it is already done. Unless the dev change the game. So here is what I can tell you after a week of playing.
Save your coins. You will need them to buy 2 nuggets and a gem. You will use one nugget to complete the req. for Lv 4 (Third-class Baron) and the 2nd nugget and gem are req. for Lv 7 (Third-class Viscount). After that you just have to download free apps or paid apps to get more coin. You can also purchase coins.
The tutorial gives you the basics. The forum gives you the numbers, and you can ask question in the in-game chat. People are very helpful in the chat. After all they want you to join their alliance or refer them (it is a task that gives nice bonus).
I didn't know what to do I build my resources, I ran out of people. I build my main building. I build my warehouse (so it will fill up when I sleep).
Everyone has different ideas on where to start, but they all say do the tasks which helps explain the game.
For the most part I would suggest not building troops just yet. They cost resource to build and crop to upkeep. Part of game etiquette is not to attack an active city that has no troops. Your no war protection last 7 days. That is nowhere near enough time to build an army to protect your city, so don't worry about it. Killing enemy troops earns prestige points (same as experience points), so don't give people a reason to attack you.
Since you have no troops you can focus your tech on the woodcutting,digging,smelting, and planting. For your attributes I suggest focus on Speed and Fortune (it is said that your daily gift is also based on fortune). I go with speed because if both attack in the same round the higher speed goes first.
VIP status. Everything you do can be done in sets of two. Upgrade 2 buildings, train 2 troop sets, Upgrade 2 tech's, have 2 hunts, and attack 2 positions. With VIP everything goes to 3 and it cost 10 coins for a week. In the beginning upgrade times are short. When you start upgrading to level 9 times are in the 2 hr range and the time keeps rising. When you only have 2 things going it is very slow if you have VIP you got 3 projects and more projects makes the boss happy.
I was frustrated with the small amount of money I was getting from hunting.
I was hunting the same oasis to often and my troop was to small. I got a bigger troop and rotated where I hunted and it got a lot better fast.
Sub-cities. Can be moved for 20 coins. That being said build near your main dispatch your troops to the new city and when the troops farm it will go to the new city. Just remember your new city need to have crops to feed the troops or you will lose them. So build up the city then move it.
Warehouse and Market. The warehouse stores resources as they accumulate. If it close to being full or your alliance is at war with another alliance you can put resources on sale in the market for max value. Some players don't like this. They are the ones who will farm your city and make you hate the game. Your cranny will only protect a small amount and if your attacker has break cranny you will lose the resources that is hard to come by. It does take people to carry the resources to the market and you do not get them back if you sell or cancel the sale.
I hope this helps, enjoy playing.
