Buildings Setup

Alright guys, this is where it becomes serious, you have to decide what to build and how ...

1st, in the city, you have 28 spots to build on. For a balanced building situation, you want to have:

12 Villages
3 Garrisons
1 Parade Ground
1 Legend Sanctuary
1 Legend Pavilion
1 Smithy
1 Armoury
1 Stable
1 Univeristy
1 Watchtower
1 Spy Camp
1 Market
1 Warehouse
1 Ally Base
1 Relay Base

What you want to do first is putting all your buildings at least level 1. When it's done, you rise your Villages, Ramparts and Palace up to level 20. We will cover the outskirts in the appropriate time. As you increase the ramparts and palace, you will have to increase your housing to support enough citizens for ressources buildings and palace / ramparts building. Here is the pattern you want to use.

Level 1 Ramparts - Level 1 Palace - Level 1 Villages - Level 1 Outskirt
Level 2 Ramparts - Level 2 Palace - Level 2 Villages - Level 2 Outskirt
Level 3 Ramparts - Level 3 Palace - Level 3 Villages - Level 3 Outskirt
Level 4 Ramparts - Level 4 Palace - Level 4 Villages - Level 4 Outskirt
Level 5 Ramparts - Level 5 Palace - Level 5 Villages - Level 5 Outskirt
Level 6 Ramparts - Level 6 Palace - Level 6 Villages - Level 6 Outskirt
Level 7 Ramparts - Level 7 Palace - Level 7 Villages - Level 7 Outskirt
Level 8 Ramparts - Level 8 Palace - Level 8 Villages - Level 8 Outskirt
Level 9 Ramparts - Level 9 Palace - Level 9 Villages - Level 9 Outskirt
Level 10 Ramparts - Level 10 Palace - Level 10 Villages - Level 10 Outskirt
Level 11 Ramparts - Level 11 Palace - Level 11 Villages - Level 11 Outskirt
Level 12 Ramparts - Level 12 Palace - Level 12 Villages - Level 12 Outskirt
Level 13 Ramparts - Level 13 Palace - Level 13 Villages - Level 13 Outskirt
Level 14 Ramparts - Level 14 Palace - Level 14 Villages - Level 14 Outskirt
Level 15 Ramparts - Level 15 Palace - Level 15 Villages - Level 15 Outskirt
Level 16 Ramparts - Level 16 Palace - Level 16 Villages - Level 16 Outskirt
Level 17 Ramparts - Level 17 Palace - Level 17 Villages - Level 17 Outskirt
Level 18 Ramparts - Level 18 Palace - Level 18 Villages - Level 18 Outskirt
Level 19 Ramparts - Level 19 Palace - Level 19 Villages - Level 19 Outskirt
Level 20 Ramparts - Level 20 Palace - Level 20 Villages - Level 20 Outskirt

You can upgrade the University and garrison in order to reach the archers, but your main priority should be as shown above. One last point on building, DO NOT build over Palace level 9 before the end of new player protection in order to remain protected during the whole week.

Now the outskirt ... This is where you get your ressources. The outskirts hold 33 spots. You have many options there ... if you want a balanced production for units training, you can build it this way.

5 Quarries
5 Copper Mines
5 Timber Mills
18 Crop Lands

If you have any questions, or comments about that setup, don't hesitate to post them as a reply.
NOTE: THIS SETUP IS TASK FRIENDLY AND IS THE MOST SUITED FOUND OVER 6 ACCOUNTS COMBINED.
NOTE 2: THIS TUTORIAL IS MADE FOR CAPITAL (1ST CITY YOU MAKE) THE SUB-CITY IS BUILT THE WAY YOU WANT, BECAUSE ONCE YOU'RE THERE, YOU WILL HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE AND YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS TO YOUR PLAYER TYPE.

Well done lec, a few extra points to point out:

• you only need one smithy total in all your villages, since you only need one to upgrade your equipment. After building the smithy and armoury to lv. 20, you can destroy it if you have another smithy you're going to keep, and build another village or garrison.

• after you have completed all the stone production quests, and when you have a maxed city, you only need two stone mines, and only one if you have a high enough magic legend, since troops in normal cities do not need stone and all you need to keep your ramparts are those 1 or 2 stone mines.

• The warehouse is not always needed, for all it does is protect resources during an invasion. If you have high enough defences or if you use all your resources anyway this can become unneccessary. Of course, it still helps to do it so you can finish the tasks.

Nice job with the beginning topic, my post is kind of off as it is more for when you get higher leveled/have subs, but just wanted to point it out.

This is a good post, and newer members will be helped a great deal by it
However i'd like to say a few things on the outskirts.
1) only build 3 Quarries per city at most, because after leveling up quarries to the max, along with the related skill, they can sustain a level 20 wall and your buildings easily, even if you were to only use 2 Quarries.
2)Players may want to consider having more Timber Mills then you have suggested, perhaps around 10 - 12, because one of the more favoured troops, archers, need a lot of wood to be recruited, more so than food.
Hope ya'll like my 1st post
