My city still isn’t very big, but it has a good amount of buildings, decorations, and trees. It’s quaint but my citizens are happy! Expansion is hard because it costs diamonds which I don’t want to spend even though I should expand my city. The hardest part when making buildings on new land is remembering that everything must be connected to a road, so sometimes I create buildings that I don’t even realize aren’t being constructed since they aren’t connected to road. This makes sense because the people can only walk on road so there would be no access to the building if it weren’t on a road. I also tend to have to move current structures around to build new ones. I try to build as much as possible, but usually I just end up following the challenges/storyline for directions in order to earn rewards.
On the continent map, battles have been relatively easy and usually I choose to conduct them myself rather than the computer because it makes it more interesting. Trying to figure out a strategy for fighting is difficult since I don’t typically play games like this, but it has been mostly straightforward and by playing myself I have a better chance of winning. I haven’t done a guild expeditions yet since I didn’t know how, but I am looking into it and am figuring out what exactly it entails. Lastly, I have only battled with others a few times and it is a bit harder than fighting the computer/game. In additions to me attacking, I have been getting plundered as well which messes with my soldiers, my town and my supplies. I hope I can keep expanding through PvP and PvE to have a strong empire.
