Hi. I wrote this whole thing to give you an idea of my thought process in building the city. However if the paragraph below is too tiresome to read, I’d really appreciate it if you would be able to look ahead to the last one. that asks for the advice, thanks.
The following is why you should really do some research before playing this type of game:
I began this game by accident, I was watching some anime and saw the ad for the game. As I had just finished reading a multi book series about an elf and human world and as I love Minecraft (the ad did say “world-building” after all), I thought that this was the game for me.
I spent a good amount of time setting up the city to be defensive, hence the very small space on the valley side (I closely packed busy manufactories there as a deterrent to unwanted visitors.) I placed the training grounds and the flying boat with anchor (so that it wouldn’t float away) by the main hall so that there would be fighters to quickly respond to trouble and to guard against attack from the mountain and transportation so that the citizens could evacuate.
I made sure to click on all of the tool and manufactories choices, so that the citizens would have enough to eat and to be able to support themselves.
I also kept wondering when an attack would come, and what was I doing wrong that left me without any fighting capabilities.
I was in constant fear of getting a message that my citizens had died from starvation, been slaughtered, or given in to moral decay (not enough culture).
I joined a fellowship but did not ask questions (bad idea, ask and they will answer). My first question was out of panic as quite a few folks were advancing along while I was still stuck in Chapter V, desperately trying to get to Dwarves but with nowhere near enough resources and not sure how to make up the shortfall
Well my fellowship the, Loyal Leo Lionesses came to the rescue and gave me some good pointers, including selling off some culture.
With trepidation I sold 1 of 2 mysterious cyclones, my culture dropped (it went from 150 to 125 and I thought that I was done for).
It was in Dwarves that I finally came to terms with the fact that the game was not at all what I expected (that was when I realized that I'd have to dismantle my “horse” corral, read: unicorns, to make room for other things)
Two good things happened at that time, the first was finding the website, gamers gems of knowledge and the second was the March of Herds event. . The website helped me plan out my Dwarf space (which has been used for Fairies and now Orcs and Goblins).
The event was great because I was so focused on strategizing to complete quests that I was not bored with the chapter. In addition all of those quests ended up helping me build up goods and supplies as well as population.
now the request for advice:
Because of the way I began, my city looks all mixed up. Also due to my defensive building, it moves out in diamond formation as opposed to the recommended rows. at the end of dwarves I was able to move my main hall but while the advice says to put it in a corner, due to the way the city was begun, I decided for the center of the grid, so that I could access all four sides.
I have gotten used to the idea of deleting culture and am learning how to make good choices (however…unicorns forever…they stay, just hidden around the city.)
I have read ahead to other chapters and realize that I need to make room for things, however most of my remaining culture has pop attached and I only have pop total of 1380 right now, so can’t safely delete any of it.
I also went to Elven Stats and uploaded my city to Elven Architect.
I would really like some advice on preparing my city for upcoming chapters. Thank you.
