MrTeddyBear ,
Joining 4 days ago, in the middle of an event is tough...
consider the Panda Event moot, but try and get 1-2 daily prizes.
Personal tasks as others have said are skippable...
Whatever ya do, don't upgrade your MainHall everytime the game
wants you to, waste of pop/culture you need elsewhere @ ur stage.
CH I/II are kinda brutal, once ya get into CH III, you can chill for a few
weeks gett'n yourself setup to move fwd. A fellowship will help, for
the simple fact thats 20+ ppl to trade with (no fee), or get a loan from....
Most FSs will help CH 1/2 players get to 3, cause then the game opens
up for the player, and then that player becomes usefull to a FS (Fellowship).
As far as Events then the FA goes, Consider RedPanda event as a learning
experience, you came in so late, its not very usefull otherwise... The FA
(fellowship adventure) that follows just gets you 2 more artifacts ( if )
you're in a FS before the FA starts, and its a 1/2 way decent FS....lol
I'd be looking @ getting into CH3, then take a break... you should be
by then, able to do well in the next Event... Plan ahead, and try and use
that event to earn bldgs as an anchor for your city.
By taking a break or chill'n , I mean maximize bldgs per research, build
a nest egg of resources so ur not paycheck->paycheck there, basically
use CH3 to get a solid foundation for your city before you move fwd.
