What Not To Build In Secondary Cities
I remember there was a thread on this a while ago, but I can't find it.
Figured I'd make my own thread to let people know what I think, and to get people's ideas as well. We all eventually take over second and third and fourth cities, and we want to know the ideal way to build buildings on them. We don't want to waste spots on things we will never use. So here are my questions and opinions:
Inn and Feasting Hall: You will want one if these in every city in order to acquire and appoint heroes for each city.
Beacon Tower: Every city, you'll want to know if you have enemies coming.
Rally Point: Should be the first thing you build so you can send troops to and from the city.
Cottages: You will obviously want several of these in every city to allow for population growth.
Barracks: Again, you will need several of these if you intend on building an army.
Embassy: I believe you need an embassy to hold alliance troops, so if you are planning on being in need of aid from your alliance, build one of these in your city.
Workshop: This is necessary for a wall, so you need it in every city.
Academy: Every city shares research, but you need an academy of appropriate level to use the research in each city, so build one of these everywhere.
Warehouse: I'd suggest it in every city, you need to protect your resources.
Marketplace: I've been told to keep one in every city, not sure why though. Probably so trades become easier? Can anyone expand on this one?
Stable: I have no idea why this should be in every city, hoping someone can clear it up.
Relief Station: I heard you need a relief station in every city to gain the benefits, can someone explain this more clearly? Do you just need a level 1 relief station to experience lvl 4 benefits from another city? Or are they all separate and need to be leveled separately?
Forge: I have no idea why you'd want more than one other than being able to research specific things in that city. If you already maxed researches then I don't see a point, can anyone give a good reason why we should have one in each city?
I think I covered it all, hope this guide sort of helps and I hope others can answer what I could not.
Tear down the Inn after it is no longer needed
The Inn is needed for two things: to recruit heros and to upgrade the feasting hall.
If you have multiple cities you only need 1 Inn for recruitment of heros.
After you build a feasting hall, upgrade it to some reasonable level, I usually stop at level 5.
Now, tear down the Inn. Obviously keep 1 Inn so you can recruit heros, but in all your other cities, tear down the Inn.
Build a barracks where the Inn used to be.
