City Guide For Noobs

[DCJerboa]

Warehouse wise - I always keep 1 warehouse per city and set it to 100% food. If I get attacked by wave after wave - I at least have some food to comfort and start to rebuild loyalty. However, big time players who have Privateering can plunder from warehouses so at some point your warehouses will be rendered useless.

Hooray ... and booo

A level 9 warehouse can protect 900,000 food. Plundering level 10 allows the player to inhibit a maximum of 30% of that food... so 270,000. That leaves 630,000 food which cannot be touched. That is more than enough food to make yourself near invincible without any reinforcement or support from an alliance. Ergo... your warehouse will never be rendered useless.

The nearest reasoning for it being useless is on a server like N1, where prices are so high and gold is so cheap, that you can easily amass 100's of billions of gold to protect your food, since it would take eons for someone to cart that gold away in transports.

My other fantastic advice... leave Southampton :P lol (my old stomping ground)
