Aye, but the point isn't 'X total resources'; 2 stone, 5 Wood, 1 Iron, 4 Inspiration, 10 food, 3 Labor, 12 Money, and a Horse might be nearly 38 resources, but it's still going to be a hell of a lot easier to build than something that costs 3 Labor and 30 Stone.

The point is it's an end-game building; they should be really damn expensive, because they're really damn good.

[Squeegy]

5 iron is a lot. I figured it was fair, considering you'd have to make one in every city that wanted to produce those units.

[Rolepgeek]

With Cavern Mines and Blood Mines and as much iron as you've provided?

It really isn't.

Maybe it's just me though, since I'm making at least a dozen wood each turn. I dunno.

[Squeegy]

Alright, I'll raise it to 20 wood. But you'll have many more cities in this than you did in The Dark Age. So don't come crying to me when you don't have enough wood and iron to manage building ships, units, and drydocks all at once.

[Rolepgeek]

I want you to look at my wood production.

Then go look at how few forest tiles out of the many, many forest tiles surrounding me I have.

I think I'll be okay. Hopefully, so will everyone else. Curbstomping isn't any fun, after all...

[Squeegy]

You would be surprised at how quickly that wood runs out. Anyway, you're currently tied with the Westerners for size, with Manen taking a lead, followed by Islanders and with Southerners taking up the rear. SilverDragon could have kept up with everybody else if he'd expanded out to grab more food tiles the way Criptfiend did, honestly. I sincerely doubt you'll be curbstomping anyone.

[SilverDragon]

Considering this is my first time playing I think I'm doing rather well. And its helpful to note that nowhere was I told that there was a improvement limit, nor how to make a city, and if I was told I'm going to blame it on my shortsightedness and claim you can't prove anything.
At least I've reached the point where I can continually create units to defend against the pricks hurrying to invade.

[Squeegy]

I actually didn't know how there was an improvement limit. But it's not too late to play catch up, you just need to spend the next several turns putting all your population into claiming river tiles and getting as much food as possible.

And the tutorial did tell you how to make a city.

[SilverDragon]

Oh, right. I suppose this is the part where I mention I didn't read the tutorial. Or do it, I guess.

[Squeegy]

So, if you didn't read the tutorial, and you won't use the admin interface, are you really trying to compete with anyone else? I feel like that's a pretty good explanation of why you're lagging behind.

[SilverDragon]

Well, first, I'm not good with info dumps. My memory is terrible, to the point where I'm not even sure if I didn't read it. And if you recall I tried to use the admin interface, a d then decided I didn't want to use it.

[Squeegy]

I don't recall that. I recall you saying you considered it cheating and were abstaining from it. I also recall literally everyone with any experience in this game saying that you should use it or you'll be at a huge disadvantage. If you just need help with it, I'd gladly work it out with you.

[Rolepgeek]

I'll also say, in a sarcastic but not trying to be actually mean tone, that the great thing about forums/the internet is that you don't need a great memory; you can go back and look at any time.
