After level 6 resource fields, is it still worth it to keep leveling up fields -- it's getting very expensive. Or is it better to start investing towards a 2nd village? | ||

What about paladins? Those would be good for raiding other teutons with lots of clubswingers. Should I continue to upgrade resource fields? | ||

Not an expert, but I think Level 6 fields is a bit too early, Settlers are like 30k or something, so I think you should either get Level 8ish or spam military to dominate your region if you can.

I giggle to myself when I see a 100+ Teuton because while he's sleeping I'm going to send 20 TTs and slaughter his clubswingers. | ||

And the #1 aggressor (most kills) is a Roman -- and he just got a 2nd village. (I was just browsing the top 100 to seeing how many had 2nd villages already.) I wonder what BO they use to get village so quick. there's a lot of cheaters, they probably used multis or had friends that gave them resources fast don't look at the top players of this server, its so early anyhow, look at the top of more developed servers, a lotttttt are teutons anyhow i'm roman and don't care enough about this game to change so i'll just stick with them, they're good for mostly inactive people anyhow (while with teutons you need to be active to be good, constantly raiding etc.) | ||

Do not build any buildings for a week, or upgrade your main building. Only upgrade resource fields. Yes, raiding is good, especially if you're Teuton, but newb protection lasts for a week and chances are the people around you will have started at the same time as you, which means you won't be able to raid them for a week. After a week, get main building lvl 3, rax, embassy, market, and start producing troops for raiding! | ||

There are quite a few inactives near me, but a lot of them are in active alliances, so I'm scared to attack them. There are also plenty of actives near me, who seem to be also raiding those inactive targets. I end up raiding people 1 - 1 1/2 hours away. | ||

You should get all fields to level 2 before you even think about a main building  And the picture with a crop and an X over it means your use of crop. In your main view, if it says 12/22, then your gross production of crop is 22, and your use of crop is 10. This increases when you build higher level fields, and new buildings. In main view, where it says Crop: x per hour is your net crop profit per hour (production minus upkeep). And if you join an alliance, people are much less likely to attack you because they are scared of your alliance counterattacking. You should get your embassy as your newbie protection ends. Plus, you get an alliance forum, lots of information of troop/resource counts if someone is near, and of course they can help you in many ways. | ||

also when someone attacks you.. do you defend with what you have in base.. or do you have to specify something? cause like i saw the simulator and if all my army would defend i would lose a lot of guys for no reason in certain cases.. thanks | ||
