Getting started

this is an option on how you can build your castle, the same location of the buildings dont matter actually where they are

Building Up!

First build up a warehouse. (this increased the amount of resources you can hold)
While its building build a mine (lumber, iron or stone)
then ...

Embassy
Warehouse

Barn

Town Hall level 2

Then work on your other mines and farms to level 2 and your town halls and barns to level 2... once done then level 3 (remember your town hall must be level 3 first.

If you run out of money click on your friends.. do them till you can build again then stop till you run out of money again. Keep this up till you have no friends and no resources. NEVER let your farm production fall below your town consumption!!!

Keep doing this till you have level 5 Town hall then build....(keep working on mines and farms througout building)

Barracks
Academy (once built click and start tech development)
Manor OR Palace
Wall (once built click and start tech development)
Tavern (click recruit a 2nd hero)
Garrison (click and asign a hero)
Demolish Tavern (as you only need it at this time to get your garrison and second hero to build up high here you will need that spot for a barn later)
Level up the Beacon tower and Barraks to level 5
Abby

From here just keep leveling everything.

DO NOT build troops till after you have Sourcery level 12 and Attack Stratagy level 12.....

Once you have level 10 manor you can create 3 pioneers once you have them you can create a second town. (this will be explained in a different section)

What I have found to be helpful is to build the same buildings in the same spot in each castle. The exception will be when/if you decide to not build a Black Tower, Tavern, Embassy in each castle.
