I wouldn't worry about those buildings yet, Deon. Those are for when you're resource generators are alread highly upgraded.

I would also add to the starting tips to upgrade your resource buildings early on. This, along with what's harvested from the caravans, should give you a good boost to your early economy. Also that upgrading the Marketplace means you can build more caravans, which helps with collecting and trade.

For those planning on dabbling in magic, go with Runes first, and kill runes at that. Fear runes can be overwhelmed(making them entirely useless), but kill runes can reduce an attacking force. Not that you'd have to worry about that so soon.

I also would suppose that there's little need to upgrade your farms so early. Your initial food supplies should last even at a negative production. Extra can be gained, as always, from the map. Oddly, not many people actually send caravans to food piles.

Boatmurdered at 183 | -253 (SE). May be a long distance if you started in SW.

Would 200 woods for 200 iron be fair?

All of my caravans are out ATM, though.
Totally fair, I will send one caravan in 30 minutes.

@Akura

Great minds think alike! I am about to go the Runes route as well. But, alas, I haven't even built Mage Tower yet.

Added your tips into the list. The third one has already been mentioned, so I leave it out to avoid duplication.

Awww... Just finished Finesse research. It says founding an allaince costs FIVE THOUSAND GOLD.
Well damn.

And you said gold was useless! :P

I'd have to upgrade the Storehouse(a lot) to just store that much gold.

Damn! Didn't know about this. I only got 150 gold coins in total, lol. What if we wait until we have at least 10 members have 500 gold each until we establish the alliance?

@ Evilgrim
You have some catching up to do!

@ Halfman
My revenue is only +1 gold/hour. And if everyone else followed the popular strategy of setting tax rate to low percentage, we wouldn't even have 500 gold each by the end of protection period.

Hmm... I've got +9 and hour at current tax settings. And if I research Bartering like everyone is telling me not to do, I'll be able grab some extra gold that way.

And I just found out that you don't need Storehouse capacity for gold. Only Vault capacity helps, and then only for stopping Advanced Thieves.

The problem is I set my tax rate to 1%, lol. Actually, if alliance establishment fee is not an issue, lowering tax rate is the right thing to do this early in the game.

Told myself I shouldnt play anymore browser games, but with so many people playing it on this forum, it might be fun.

On another note, will be making an account in the SW in a bit.

Actually, its too late in the night for that. I will likely be on for several hours getting my base up, if this is like any other browser game.

Heh, I said that to myself as well but having a lot of spare time on weekend does not help. Anyway, create that account when you have free time. You'll have to go through the tutorial to get your first caravan (used to gather resources on World Map) for free and that may take awhile. If memory served me right, took me 3 hours to get to that point.
