I havent played for couple of months but I will do my best to help :) here are some info you might want to learn;

You get small max amount of buildings most likely because you build close to something (forest, water, mountains), so when building try to find a place in the open where town can grow.

Ratio is 1-5, so 1k homes and 5k arms will give you may discount on training time, but will not make troops cheaper. You cant get cheaper troops, unless if admins change something in one of the next eras. If you have 1500 homes then you need 5500 armories to keep the discount. Having 7500 armories gives you full discount no matter what, so you can have 10k homes and 7.5k arms and it will still be max discount. Ratio is the same with resource buildings, 1-5

Stone to gold is casted to turn your stone to gold, from warehouses cause thats where all your stone would be, if you dont have warehouses then stone is distributed through all your cities, warehouses just keeps all resources at one place. Make sure your warehouses are somewhere deeep in your core, well defended city.


Yes, training means you train peasants to become soldiers, except Gaia.

Fourth question I explained, settle your cities somewhere in the walley, not close to resources like water, forest, mountain and other cities too... make sure town has enough space to expand!

For blocker cities, it really depends, from my experience its good to have armies, better then towers because when enemy comes you cant kill them with towers, armies are most important. Just have 2k towers in blocker to give you maximum line of sight, towers are important for magic protection and helps you cast magic too. Depending on how large is the city, but I would say having lots of homes its important cause you put your troops in blocker homes and dont have to pay upkeep for the armies.


Morale went down in cities? Do you mean production or morale? Dont know why morale would go down unless attacked by Orcs... You can always cast happyness on yourself if morale is low, but your morale shouldnt be low. Check that please.
Cavers dont help with morale, they help with mining, giving you mining bonus, more income, and having them in cities is good cause they provide protection against attack too.

Oh I see, you said morale never went down, thats good... When morale is down I think production is not so good, troops with low morale are weaker, peasant growth is slower... So morale is important.
You mean Taverns, they keep mood up, its good to have some taverns in blockers if Orcs are attacking but you're right, Taverns are most useless building in the game, I never build them.

"Taverns are most useless building in the game, I never build them."

Humans got an ability to do mobilize force. That ability lets a human player train his troops twice as fast. But the cost is that the morale of the city will lower.

So if you have taverns in your city and use mobilize force the morale wont drop or will drop really slow.

5%-ish... never actually calculated, but it never seemed that bad to me

oke thanks any rec how many taverns go for **** homes 7500 armory?

I'm not exactly sure how the 50% protection worlds work, but I guess if he doesn't initiate an attack on any of your armies not already prepping, he might be safe, once you knock him to around half your land or less.

You'll get tax from the peasants, since it considers them employed, if you have five per armories. But no; armories, guard towers, warehouses, magic towers, and taverns all don't need peasants to keep production from dropping. 

Well, it isn't a biggie if you mixed lumbermills, mines, and farms into one town, but yeah. :P

Yup - but keep in mind. Your towns will get the bonus at certain sizes depending on how far it is from that resource. Though, once it gets to 90k size, it'll have all the bonuses no matter how far away it is from those resources. 

i made the mistake and build them to close 14400 oh well i am doing fine military wise.
and getting more cities wont be a big problem thoh 50% rule is gonna kill me most likely

It will increase your success, also the lower the dice rolls. the less troops you loss, So if u have a higher chance, the dice can roll in a wider arrange. So u can then win and loss a little

Put it this way, u want to attack at the highest percent if possible, its less losses.

ye first attack and lost 1000 units vs 0 and 2 towers how do you think that made me feel second attack i found out what i did wrong :P
even if i only get 70% i will just wait and let his peasants die.

1: Soldiers inside a town (housed) will fight with the towns morale, those in an army, will fight at the armies morale.

4: Morale degrades naturally, while an army is moving on the field. Rate at which it degrades is based upon, a kingdom mate and I strongly believe, what tiers your army is made up of (higher tier, slower morale degradation)

i am wondering something, with swordmen i always got 0% attack then i do siege and then it increases even to 98%

with knights in my army the attack increases also even if i have not sieged the city can someone explain this to me? knights dont need siege to win?

Well, not completely true, Zond. 

From my experience Guard towers (GTs) are not affected by morale.

Trying to remember max power for full effect, but rain of fire can kill up to 20% of the troops in one casting. 20k mages with magic five gives you 20k power exactly (.2 power per mu per magic level) and that should at least get you 10-15% deaths per a few castes. Would do some damage to some nazzies (and considering the cost of nazzies, it'd be ouchsome) But with rain of fire, you're not losing only such a small amount per cast though.

Not a "huge" amount, but more than 2-3%, especially if it fails at all. Rain of fire ain't uber cheap, afterall. lol

Taverne how does the morale increase thing work (how many do you need to make it effective (human)

Note: by not tested, I mean I haven't gone in and tested exacts. I have tested that certain amounts of taverns counteract or lessen the decay.

what is the minimal % so they dont revolt? morale

Yes, with no peasants in (due to training, you cannot take peasants out of cities with low morale), the city cannot revolt. Also I think Halfers cities rarely revolt, as a Halfer, I've only had a few cities (always peoples last city) revolt on me. While as orc, many revolted on me.
