I have only been playing for 10 or 11 days, I like iamjmph01 hadn't intended to register but had to post on this.
Your eye flow chart BS was amusing but completely off topic. I'm not going to nit pick the spelling issue's I am one of the worst spellers so I let that go. But saying there's nothing letting you know what to do is silly. City-builder War Game this is what Civony is. According to the ADD that directed me to the registration page, told me this. I don't know how you found the game.
I admit that I have been playing Travian for two years. There are many things missing to travian. Many of those things I find in Civony which is why I am gravitating towards it more and more. I had no idea what I was getting into for sure until I got logged in and experienced the massive amounts of lag. The up side to the lag provided massive amounts of time to read the quest section since it seemed to be working through the lag. As an experienced Travian player I went straight to the map tabs and learned quickly which tab did which after reading the first few quests which also guided me to those. Again I clarify that I Have been playing travian which has similar settings and tabs for two years but a tedious skipable tutorial(more bennifical to use the tutorial). I am not cutting into anyone's "newb"ness, just what I did. I made my farm first since I knew I would need it, I then used the various quest(as I recall 5 on the first legs of quests). I screwed some things up and misunderstood the horrible translations from what ever the base language the game was made in. But managed to recover fairly quickly. I had used my time wisely and built resource fields because one of the quests tells me too. I managed to follow all the quests fairly easily and had 3 cities before i was out of protection a fairly large army and as a quest told me joined an alliance(i then moved from it to one with people on during my play time so I could learn more) The point is that it is in the quests... there are plenty of quests to guide the newb provided the newb is willing to do a little reading. Besides if you had read the quests you would have found that MOST of the quests gave you resources in return for completing them, I wanna know how you ran out of resources so fast? I still techincally have never stopped building troops or buildings at any of my now 5 cities.
I knew going into the game i was playing a Civalization builder/Strategy War Game. Needing resources is obvious for anyone that has played STARCRAFT, one of the most popular Real Time Strategy Games ever made. Not comprehending what you read from the quests is the reason you didn't succeed. Not because your eyeballs traveled to the bottom left corner or upper left hand monkey pile of stinkie w/ symbols waving off of it(joke). Stop listening to people in the world chat most of them want to convince you of some BS cheat to use so you waste your speakers... read about speakers in an early quest too. Amazing what information was in those quests... guess I got a better package of quests then you did or understood what I read better.
Strength and Honour!
