![]() ![]() Always send an equal amount of war ships to fight your opponents war ships. Pay close attention to the warning that your trade ships are being attacked. The trickiest thing is that you need to keep your trade routes going during the war. Your opponent will try to sink your ships and invade your islands too, be prepared. Your priority should be to sink your opponents war ships first. Let the enemy troops fight the towers first, use your troops to clean up or defend if your wall is breached. Towers/walls: put them at entry points of your islands (where ships can drop troops). For a war you have over 50k saved up, as well as building supplies, weapons and lots of troops and war ships, as well as replacement trade ships ready.īefore you start the war, be sure to spread out weapons and building materials across all islands, so you can react quickly to tricky situations.ĭefence is easier than offence. Only start a war, if you are quick and good at playing the game peacefully, or if you are prepared to have fun failing and learning. The control groups help keep track of your ships/troops and split them up across the map and use them quickly, so youĪre less likely to forget about them and have them sit around uselessly. Get used to it though, before overdoing it. You should try to use as many seperate control groups as you can, rather than lumping all your troops onto one key. To do this press the button of the ctrl group, then hold shift and left click drag over the units you want to add, then press ctrl+numberkey again to assign the newly added troops. You can put multiple ships in one ctrl group. Double press to center the camera on the ctrl group. Now when you press that numberkey you will select the ship. select a units, press control+numberkey to add the unit to a number.

Red = people will move out and eventually riot, setting stuff on fire Yellow = populations stays the way it is, no ascension, but also no riot Light green = people will move in, but won't ascend Figure out the optimal ratios for buildings or look it up.ĭark green = People can ascend to the next level, as long as demands are met and building materials are there Make sure your supply lines are efficient and you are placing buildings to use space well.Ĭlick on production buildings to see, if they are running at 100%. Put buildings to sleep that you don't need, to save money. Too little = unhappy inhabitants too much = wasted money (although you can sell excess at your port if you have a sale slot open, and then too much is good) ![]() ![]() Try to get your production to match your population size.

You can sell and buy things at your ports and send out courier ships to quickly get missing goods. Set up trading routes by pressing the f5 key. ![]() There is Auto Trade and it's absolutely necessary to use it, if you want to be good at the game: It wasn't until I came back to it again after a few years, that I found it enjoyable. Give the game a chance, I wan't good at it first either. It might take a while for the game to *click*, but once it does, it's really fun, in my opinion. Then you can start the endless game and do the more difficult missions. It's easy to float money as long as you aren't going to war or making fundamental mistakes.įirst play through the tutorials and easy scenarios again, and actually pay attention.
