How to Have a Good Economy (I bet you don't know how)

lumber city is fine. but think of this. iron city and hitting lots of forests every hour. yeah. u can make like 50 - 100 mil lumber a day if u do it correctly from 1 city. why not lumber city and lots of hills

Okay I think I get your point, but you need to use complete words, a good punctuation, and better words than "yeah" to link your ideas together if you wanna get understood. You're basically saying that people should produce iron and farm like hell for wood.

First, didn't I say "Here is my opinion on how to maximize your resources, without considering farming (farming merely adds to this; it is not important to consider, because it's always the same income anyways.)" Your argument relies on farming, mine relies on how to distribute your resource fields, bonuses, and manage the market regardless of farming. If I put it in bold, maybe you'll read it. On your own, you do not shift the market that much, do you? Are you important enough on your own to drastically shift the market when you sell your income from farming? Really, your farming choices do not matter much, as it won't destroy the balance you had upon selling your resources from your home production alone. If you produce wood and farm wood, good for you; you just sell more of it, and probably at the same price anyways (as you make you own offers).

Second, most people are not online 24/7. For my part, I am not online all the time because I HAVE A LIFE, and managing well my resources allows me to perform better than people who don't. I don't play this game extremely seriously (otherwise I would have kept this info for me), but I like to be able to compete with the other people around me. I farm when I'm online, but not every hour of the day as you do.

I don't understand either lol My explanations are good at least. If you wanna make a point that my guide isn't good, make your point lol You are not being the "strong critique" that you self-title yourself.
