Hello all, The veterans of the game already know this, so this is for the new players....
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE prepare your cities for when you get to your settlement chapters EARLY! That means no later than the 4 chapter. I see too many newcomers in my FS in chapter 5, and they have no space at all for the upcoming settlement in chapter 6. The reasons vary from "I need this, this, and that building for this and that, so i have no room" to those who don't constantly have a scout going, so are way behind on expansions.
I been playing for over a year, and i started prepping early. The point is, i just hit the Elvenar chapter about 2 weeks ago. Before now, it took me 10 provinces to get an expansion. I always have scouts going (even though they take forever), but i thought i'd finish one of my open provinces to make sure it's still 9 more provinces i have to finish to get an expansion...When i cleared the 8th encounter i thought "this is going to suck, i'll bet they want me to clear 11 more now".....I was wrong, they wanted me to clear 17 more!!! So basically i went from needing 10 to 18. That seems a bit much to me. 10 to 12 would have been less shocking...
So to the newcomers...Start making room for settlements early in the game...starting late in chapter 3 wouldn't hurt, because the demands of the settlements become more, and more...I admit, i am not a "wallet warrior" but i have bought about 6 or 7 premium expansions in the past so i don't know if that affects how many provinces you need, or not...Just prepare early, because YOU WILL NEED THE SPACE!!! The newer players are used to getting several tech expansions in the early chapters, so i think it makes some of them a little "lazy" on keeping up with scouting, but believe me, 5 tech expansions in one chapter ain't gonna last, and you'll be lucky to get one in later chapters! Sorry for the rambling, just wanted to throw that out there. I'm still in shock about having to wait well over a day or more to open a province, and i need 18 of them now?! I'll stop here...The rest is for another post....
