Hello reader, I'm Dulahan!
I started playing 264 days ago in the Spanish server, F wolrd and I have a lvl 64 arc. Some people in my world, and recently here in the forums have asked me how I did it, so I decided to share it. This will be an improvement compared to the path I took, as I have much more experience and knowledge now. I believe anyone who follows this guide and is dedicated enough to the game, will reach lvl 60 arc in less than 200 days.
This guide is meant for active players starting in another world, or people who has the mentality of researching before doing, and might be difficult to understand for new players who just want to 'play the game'.
It is important that you understand that this guide will provide guidelines, not instructions on what you have to do. This means that you can -and should- adapt it to your personal boundary conditions (i.e. not building sophia if your useful special buildings already cover your happyness needs) but you shouldn't break the basic rules (i.e. building barracks in HMA) -that is, if you expect the best results.
This also means I will not be addressing questions of "I'm here, what to do?". Instead I'll answer questions of "what do you think about doing this instead of that [insert math justification that supports your argument] or [insert any explanation that suggests that any of the hypotheses or calculations in this guide are wrong]".
Disclaimer! Before starting to read the whole guide, you might consider skimming throught first three chapters, because what I recommend is not suited for everyone. Now and without further ado, let's go to the guide itself.
