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 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. You can upload a save game here in the forum after writing 4 more posts (this restriction is to prevent spammers) if you want.

Placing some more flags on the streets so that the individual carrier needn't walk a long way from one flag to the other helped me decrease my traffic jam Gerade arbeite ich eher sporadisch an einer Idee für einen neuen Satz Stämme: die Allianz in unterschiedlichen Varianten.

Using CTRL-Click when placing roads is explained already in the first tutorial with the hint that placing more flags speed's up transporting of wares, if i remember correctly.
