I'm surrounded by around 5 25+ and another few 15+ villages, hardly any inactives around my area, wondering what to do when/before my safetime ends. Is the TL.net alliance even up yet? I can't seem to find it in the search.

Also can anyone tell me if I'm doing good at the moment? I've started on Feb 8 and now I'm at 22-21-18-10 with 24 population. My fields are at 2200-2110-2200-211111.

It's cheaper to get all your fields of the same type to level 1 before starting on level 2.

I know its cheaper, but I think it takes more crop/production rate if I do that.

Finally, I have every field upgraded to lvl 3.

And raiding has been very profitable for me. I have an inactive village 1 square away, so I can raid 3 times in one hour. With 3 legs, that means 90/90/90/90 evey hour, at least until I've depleted that village.

i teched up to blacksmith (that's level3rax->acad->level3acad->smith) which took a fair amount of resources, so that i could get axefighters

now i still don't get to build them, i have to shell out 880/580/1560/580 just to be able to build them? is this working as intended >_> or am i looking in the wrong spot

Hahaha, definitely looking at the wrong spot. Axefighters are 130/120/170/70/1

i know how much they are supposed to cost, but i think you have to research the ability to build them. if not though, where do you look to build them? rax? acad? i can only find them in one place

(the super expensive one. damn i can't even store 1560 iron, wtf)

Hmm, sounds like you're a lot farther than me so I'll let someone else answer. I'm 61 pop and I haven't even made a rax yet. XD

A tip, I get more recources by doing multiple raides instead of one big.

btw, anybody knows if its more profitable to just produce military until all surrounding inactive villages are empty?

I've been doing small raids while upgrading my economy. Unfortunately, I don't have many inactives near me, so the best bang for your buck may be different. Also, I am finally starting on an Embassy, so we can get one (of eventually many) TL.net alliance going. What naming convention do we want to use?

I'm just TL Neo at -7/155. darkmage has an embassy and PltO and I will be in it first since we're the closest to him. TL or TL.N sounds good for a tag.

Not necessarily. The person you raided with a "big" raid probably didn't have many resources left (or had a cranny), so you didn't get as much as you could have.
