I hope I'm not in the wrong forum to ask the questions... I'll start by saying that I don't speak English, so I'm using Google Translate. I hope you can understand what I mean. I searched and couldn't find a simple guide on how to play.. Well, of course I've seen the tutorial games and campaigns (only the barbarians for now), and I'm trying to play as a barbarian. But I play for hours and can't get to soldier training... It's so complicated, so many traffic jams, resources that are unexpectedly missing... In the game description I thought the challenge would be to create the most and the fastest, but I see that it's a challenge to create in the first place...

What I mainly want to know is if there are recommended building templates. For example, I now start games by immediately sending 5 path extensions from the Headquarters, so that there are less traffic jams when leaving it. Am I doing it right?

What other templates are there?

Hi arikari and welcome to the forum face-smile.png

First of all, the challenge is not to create good trained soldiers the fastest. The challenge is to build up a good working economy, because without that you can't get soldiers and train them. Building up a good economy needs some knowledge of the production chain of a tribe. Build the basic buildings first and grow the economy step by step.

If not done yet you should play the tutorials and at least a few campaigns to get a feeling about a good working economy. If you have a lot of traffic jams, you are doing something wrong, e.g. didn't build warehouses, or have bad production chains. As an example it is a bad idea to have a Rangers Hut far away from Lumberjacks.

Connecting your headquarters with as many roads it can have is a good idea, but probably you may need also roads wich bypasses the headquarters so wares which do not go to the warehouse will not produce a traffic jam at your warehouse.

Hopefully i gave some hints. In case of more questions, feel free to ask.
