First seven cities guide by Trudevil

Step by Step cluster guide, by Trudevil

City #1 - see “First City Guide”

City #2 - Castle (if you’re going that route)
*See Notes on Raiding and on Title Advancement and Free Research*
**discuss castle locations and troop type with your Team/Continent Leader**
*If you’re going for the free city #4 for having a castle build the castle as #2 so you can get cities 3 and 4 at the same time from the research. I like to castle just before the research is ready for #3 OR if I run out of recruitment space.
*Make City #2 as a multi-part process which would look like this:
Step #1  http://louopt.com/7Owf
*In louopt.com add 50 wood and stone buildings. (turn all other res to 0) get a good amount (around 20k of each wood and stone slightly higher stone). Then add cottages to get 3000% construction speed. Build as many of these buildings as you can while you get your Town Hall (TH) to 8. Once you get TH 8 you can add your first military buildings and move on to step 2.
**Take all resources cottages and military to 6 then stop growing wood. Bring everything to 7 and stop growing stone. Bring cottages to 8 and stop those. Bringing only military and warehouses to 10.
Step #2 http://louopt.com/kPwf
*Get your TH to 10 and add your extra military buildings. This is a good time to add your castle and moonglow tower.
Step #3 [url]http://louopt.com/wPwf[/url]
*Take out wood (which shouldn’t be used hardly at all anymore) and add more military.
Step #4 [url]http://louopt.com/0Pwf[/url]
*Take out stone to finish more military.
Step #5 [url]http://louopt.com/aQwf[/url]
*Remove cottages and finish out your castle.
