new village, 15c info?

right i have a number of questions.

what would be the optimum level of the resource fields in my first village before i take a 2nd village

also what is the minimum amount of troops i should have (im looking to go over that :p lol)

also do i need to train 3 different settlers or just the one

From experience I would go for fields at 7/8

Troops depends on how hostile your area is and how many defensive troops you need to put in.

You need to train 3 settlers - who then disappear once you've founded a village (traitorous bastards!)

thanks for asking that was wondering the xact same thing im a fair way off 2nd village yet but still very useful

one extra thing... iv noticed that the 3 top alliance members havnt gone for 15c is ther any reason other then distance or is it a strategic move (i have a 15c very close)

strategic.

and if you notice most of the larger players do actaully.
from what i believe it is much easier for a 15c to develop with a supporting village next to it. the more the better

they will probably reclaim some 15cs later with administrators anyway

I can answer this one.

15c's are great, but a huge army doesn't directly help you grow any. A 15c needs to get all of its clay/iron/wood from your other villages with one exception, if you have tons of Gold points to let you use the NPC merchant every 2 hours. If not, then youur best bet is either a village with even amounts of resources, or one with more of your tribe's most used resource.

thanks think im gona go for a 9c bit of a compramise (plus thers one right next to me)

Level 7 fields are optimum for making settlers presuming you have a small army and are raiding your ass off

Octavian, that could be a fine idea, but it's really only worth it if you're going to house hundreds of troops.. just remember that you're choosing your destiny when you pick up a big cropper, it really does paint a target on your back.

was thinking about buying into a bit of gold, havnt been concentrating on troops atm just res but i will start building up a force if i get the 9c next to me and thanks kbc

kbd, sealy and moses lol
