And do remember to complete all the quests before you settle your second village. Finishing all the quests gives you 30 free gold and some random amounts of resources. Quest guy disappears if you settle your 2nd village though.

here's what it looks like

according to this guide, fag is gonna have me build a cranny
as far as i remember there's no way to "un-build" buildings yourself(?) so it'll be wasting me a spot! oh well

i already started doing the quests, i'm on like 9 or something. will take a while though, fields so expensive

Of course you should build a cranny, you'll get a crapton of resources for practically free.

the resource gain is hardly worth mentioning, it nets out to be like 100/100/0/100 or so. 20 minutes' worth.
i'm more concerned that i won't be able to get rid of the cranny later

Negative, you're supposed to get shipments... 3 shipments total I think. And a cranny costs next to nothing.

With Main Building lvl 15+ you can demolish your own city buildings. Or you can just self cata, but that only when you have 2 villages.

Try to build the buildings that give the most CP to expand fast. Market, Residence, Academy, etc.

Get a paladin as your first hero, never a club.

The basic build order for Teuton, possibly other races, is something like:

(Keep increasing crop levels as needed, as well as storage and whatnot, get marketplace when you need to etc)
Main Building 3
Rally Point 1
Barracks 5(If good income, if not, keep at 3. If you get more income, increase the level as long as you can keep constant unit production up)
Main Building 10
Academy 10
Town Hall 1
Start small celebration
Recidence to 10, 3 Settlers, should finish around the time the small celebration finishes or relatively soon after. Doesn't matter much.
->Barracks 10

-> Get 15 cropper

Gets you a second village in 2-3, maybe 4 days on speed, and gets you a nice army. Let's assume you take 2 days to do this after your immunity goes away, you'll have maybe 350 or 400 or so clubswingers. Of course this doesn't work so well for other races. :/

you should try to raid with many parties of 2 or 3 clubs each at the start. this way you can scout the most farms while having more efficient raids.

You should always raid with just 2 if you know they have nothing, yes. Then you will estimate the time they'll have resources and send just enough clubbies to get all of the stuff. You should be having like 50 attacks going at the same time nearly always. If someone else attacks you, remember to time your own attack to hit the second after his troops get home, and attack with everything you have (assuming teuton). This way all of his troops die, you get all of the resources he took(shouldn't have gotten any, though) and he'll become your farm. ^_^

Everyone in the 15*15 around you should be made into your farm, learn each of theirs hourly production and time raids with proper amounts of clubbies. You should always have every one of your clubbies on the move and you should always get as close to full load with each of them as possible. Romans around the pop of 35-50 are generally excellent farms, just remember to kill his defense with your full army the first time you attack. Don't keep repeatedly attacking people that you don't get any resources from, just ask for them to send you tribute for you to not attack them, then after your army is strong enough, kill their whole army in one night so that you have no competition. Never get allies right next to you.
