Not sure what to do.

Should i aim to get a new village first or build up my army?

Currently i am building up my resource tiles. My clays and lumber are all lvl6 now and my iron lvl5 for all. I have very little crop production currently. The problem with building an army now is that the farms around me always give me little resources. There are no good farms around me. So should i still go ahead with the army and try my lucky with farms 19fields away from me? Or should i concentrate on building residence and settlers to get a new village? There is also no one attacking me since i joined FUN.

If you go the settler route you need to build up your resources, will take you a long time otherwise if you cannot raid much. Also raid further afield.

Oh, i forgot to say that i only have 10phalanx and 1 druid. I still have research if i wan to get TTs.

The best way to build your resource fields up is to get them all to level 7, and then focus on getting only one of each to level 10 so you can build the bonus buildings. They help out a lot.

actually, it's all to level 8 then 1 to 10 then factory 3-4 levels up then to level 9 fields and another level and the last factory level at 10

Yep, Simmy's right. The maths supports that as the most efficient way to grow.

Hmm. So i should still focus on my resources? >.<

Yes, focus on your resources,

Okies. Thanks alot. . So when should i start focusing on settling or building up an army?

Start building residence/settlers when you get more than 300 of each non-crop resource per hour. You don't need an army yet.

haha.Okies! thanks alot VAO! xDD

stick with phalanx while your small, they are great defense and you can make more and faster then druids. also dont be afraid to raid around you with your phalanx, either make sure they are small inactive places, or places being raided by your aliance

Was thinking of getting a druid hero, thus the solo druid. .. haha.

Okies. Thanks for the wonderful advices.

Btw, there is a guide in the forums which mentions that we should build all to lvl7 and one to lvl10 to get brickyard to lvl3. Haha.

the guide also prolly suggests at this stage you should be raiding with a large force, sicne you arent you will have a much slower income flow and so will take you alot longer to save the res. id go with 3X8 and one to 10 if i was you
