Chahala- if helping and meeting reaching out are things you enjoy then this game is a good match for you as the core elements of play revolve around cooperative interaction and teamwork.
some basics: get some houses and workshops rolling but hem close to the quest lines, which are the lifeblood of an early city, providing bonus coin and supply to keep you building up.
At first there is one quest but soon you will have two questlines available, one of which is declinable. If you hit decline you get a stern warning screen telling you it is non-reversible- try it anyway, try it 10x, 20x- pattern emerge?
remember each quest is counted and the bonus paid when you pick up the item or finish the task asked if that quest is on screen
If the quest asking you to make goods is on your screen when goods happen to be ready for pick up you get a bonus, same with the quest for collecting coin, or supply, or fighting for provinces.
Let the quest line lead you early. Shortly therafter manage the questline to maximize yield and growth.
Best purchase in the game is an extra builder or two to increase # of active constructon sites.
Don't stop upgrading and look to the wiki for upcoming building changes that may affect your planning.
Best of luck but I 'm sure with that much experience under your belt you will be flying in no time.
When you have your 3rd troop unlocked (treants or dogs), you will want to pop in and get info on fighting if you haven't already.
