I guess I need to make most of my City space farm, to support the goliath army I will need to even look sideways in Evony.

Nobody ever attacks and plunders me, so that isn't an issue.

Research..18 of them, not including Privateering. Level 7 average 30 to 40 hrs each.. No more infinite barb farming so 300 - 400K on 7's, 650K gold on Lv. 8's..

Your eyes are brown I bet. It might have something to do with what you are full of.
I could make many cites but this also assumes I have thousands of medals that we dont get any more...

Admit it. You were on the gravy train and the gravy train has dried up. I guess it took you long enough that you forgot all the things you had to do to get where you are.

I don't know where you are? Nope. Go to 12, do what you did there. It's not the same game.
I am on server 12. Name is Kassikas. Top 500 pres, top 200 pop, top 10 alliance.

I am sorry, but you just haven't bothered to learn how to play Evony very well at all. Probably why you are so upset about things. Here is the way players in the know do things.

A: While in newbie protection, set up 3 cities in the first 24 hours. It isn't just possible, it is easy.

B: There are only three techs to worry about for the first week. Construction, Archers, and compass. Maybe throw in logging for fun.

C: Build 80-90% saw mills. With this, you will have seven or eight construction by the time you pop out of newbie protection, because for the first month wood is always overpriced, while food is nearly free. Stone drops rapidly as well, and Iron bottoms out for the first couple of months Using lots of speed ups on Construction will help a lot. Don't use all your free speed ups on buildings, use them on lowering building time.

D: Early on, use a politics hero for all your medal farming. The goal is to search the inns every time you sign on. Look for a politic hero with over 65, and +40 attack. Use one of the free holy waters you get on them, and put all the points back in politics. Should be over 70 by level 6.

By the time you come out of newbie protection, your three cities should all have a politic hero with more then 100, and at the very least 7 construction. If you save your speed ups, you can end up with 9 construction in very short order.

Do that, and you will have very low construction times (level nine cotts will take under an hour) and more resources then you can spend. By selling lumber at it's early inflated price you will be able to keep researching in all of your cities. High INT heroes help here.

You do not need Barb towns to rapidly max out carebear cities. You only need to look at the academy, market, and makes reasoned choices.

Why max out 4 resource techs when you can max out 1, and rapidly produce wood which sells at a much higher value then every other resource?

Why have 4 kinds of valleys when you can just cap forests and have wood production through the roof?

Why build Iron mines and quarries, they take longer and require more resources? You need less iron and stone, and it sells for far less then wood.

Why research mil science and construction at the same time, if you are always going to be building buildings, but rarely troops?

Rapid city progress in Evony isn't about NPC cities. Learn to build/research strategically instead of just building up everything equally in every town, and you will find yourself with a maxed out capital in three weeks.
