Oh Wise One
@Dralmar there is some great advice from Lyapo. The key is learning about this "Goldilocks zone" something they need to put into a tutorial or similar. This zone is smaller in the first couple eras but it does grow as you move through the eras to roughly 20 provinces more then the chests depending on skill in combat.
You always have the option to cater as well and when you get to tournaments (Era 3) those are fixed and scale-able fights based on where you are at. An approach to cater and fight is also a very good choice.
By staying close to the chest province numbers you will not run out of space to run your city. Like everybody regardless of city size you have to make choices about priorities of what is important to your strategy and build your town to suit. The amount of factory space required to cater verse combat or combo is surprisingly very little. The variance is more regarding patience or speed. More space = more factories = faster catering provinces, but there are some pretty hard catches to that so it is a choice you need to decide for yourself. There are ways to still go fast without the same catches as rushing world map expansion, those will have their own catches too.
If the basic of the game have peaked your interest, stick around learn a bit about the combat and find a good fellowship. Ideally one where people trade, offer advice and are positive and adapting to the challenges the game throws at them.
Happy gaming.
