You need to get mines and other resources up.
BP is like 4 days long.
so, you only need to focus on mines and troops for farming.
after bp your militia will save you from attack. build mines up and maybe wall and do quests for troops.
The key thing is to not waste troops on farming runs this early. losing 1 troop for a haul of 70 or 80 resources is not an even trade.
only micro farm with the luck flag. If still no resources use the increased resource flag.
you don't need to research things this early. maybe day three you can resource axe and work to get lc
after your hauling in around 2,000 resources a day then maybe start researching axemen.
axemen help in farming to make sure spears don't die, but your luck flag can help before you get axemen.
You want to get LC pretty fast but you got to have like 10 spear farming runs before you rush LC.
If your farming 10 barbs and bonus villages then make lc and farm 20 plus barbs.
Then you can build up troops and attack a neighbor. To steal resources.
Focus more on troops then the quests and just farm. Remember you need to be able to farm enough to mint a coin and a noble before taking a town.
So don't start on the conquest quest until mines level 20 and farming runs are 100 plus runs. Then use the premium points to quick build hq smithy and academy all in the same day. mint a coin and noble your neighbor.
Its pretty simple.
If you start working on building stables and smithy too soon. You will actually be last person to get nobles. The people that get nobles first are the active farmers and market traders, not building their smithy until they are ready to noble that day.
[spoil]Build
Headquarters (10)
Barracks (5)
Smithy (5)
Then make LC and farm for a few days.
Build this in one day!
Academy (1)
Headquarters (20)
Smithy (20)
Market (10)
Make sure you have enough farm and warehouse space!
Then save all the resources you need to go from basic farming town to academy town in one day. With enough left over resources 80k wood 80k clay and 80k iron for coin and noble you will need 175k space in your warehouse and farm space for all the buildings. At around 800k resources farmed you can noble. maybe more like over a million resources farmed if you want to take a players town. This insures lots of troops for farming and that your not just building a town for someone to noble. if you only farm 100k resources and rush to conquer a town you have a 3k point town with no troops or less then 1,000 troops for farming. maybe get a level 27 farm maxed out before taking a town.

I think it's fair to assume that no one who knows what they're doing has read this, because if they had you would already have been slapped down.
Academy rush in one day?
Use the luck flag?!? Why not attack strength?
This is a packet world, not a coin world.
1million resources looted will barely cover the cost of your first thousand lc
Don't make one fucking noble, make three
Mines 20+ a requirement before smithy rushing. Why? Sure some people do that in case they get cleared, partially or otherwise, but it shouldn't be compulsory.
How can you fill farm 27 with troops if you've only looted 800k res, hmm? How can you even AFFORD TO BUILD farm level 27?!?
And how can using p2w be part of any self-respecting guide? That's obviously not an issue here, but it's another error.
"Got to have like ten farming runs before you rush lc" well I'll be kind here and assume you mean ten commands out at once, rather than just achieving plunderer level 1. Unfortunately that means everyone in the world, if they had the misfortune to be following this guide, should be attempting to struggle their way towards lc this instant. Perhaps one of them might have got barracks to level four by now. As soon as you get the quest troops you should have at LEAST ten commands out at once, each one having 2 swords or 2 (or 1) axes in it.
Tl;dr this guide is shit
