You know, the troops I got when I had no military buildings may have come from my Dojos, now that I think about it. I guess I never counted and figured they came from my Traz.

Yeah, I just replied to your other post, thank you. That is exactly what I was thinking, on second thought.

Pardon me for having years of experience. My trial city is only a couple of weeks old.

Well actually I appreciate your advice and what you’ve written as you actually took the time to READ the actual question and respond to it and give actual substantial responses rather than the same old cliches. So I can admit when I’m not aware of something, and I did come here to ask and get responses from people who read the actual question, like you. Thank you. As far as I see, you can’t abort all side quests, as I’m currently stuck with two of them that’s have been sitting there until I age up another age. One of which is to build a particular building that is for an age I’m not in yet, and it’s not giving me the option to abort it. And another requires me to win three sector by fighting against units in that sector that are two ages above mine, as I’ve acquired all of the sectors on the map possible for previous story and side quests (and that St. Patrick’s Day Event). And it also won’t let me abort
But I didn’t know that CF gave bonuses to all quests, as people kept saying side quests only. And not all quests. So I certainly don’t want to waste precious resources having a huge building on my tiny city that I can’t utilize for several months. But if it actually does give rewards for all quests, that’s great. However, I would love to know for sure

Nah.
Since thier first post the OP has demonstrated an unusually overvalued sense of their own understanding of the game combined with an equally dismissive and insulting attitude toawrds long term players as evidenced by posts in this thread and here:
OP is harvesting the seeds they;ve sown.

I have been playing since 2013/14 Because I like to help newbies in the game, I do from time to time start a new city. Purely because the game is constantly changing now and I want to keep up with the changes in the game and how they affect it at lower level. The advice I give newbies will probably differ from that someone else will give them as we all have our own take on what is the best way to go. But no I have not forgotten what it was like to be new in the game. I still advise newbies to start by getting the basic start up GBs but not to build the Col. But Because I do have some experience and want to pass that on. I do tell newbies that once they have that basic set up that CF is one of the ones to go for. Purely because of the RQs in IA. The amounts needed to complete the collect coin (6000) supplies (6000) Spend FPs (15) Unbirthday (2000 each coin. supplies) I think IA is an important age for a new player to spend time in to learn the basic game play, GE, GBG, GVG, trading, and how to communicate in the game and in a guild. how to build and maintain a proper inventory which will help them when they do move up. It does not take long for basic supplies and coin to build to the point where they can do the recurring quests multiple times. Have seen to many go with the " Get past the early ages first they are a waste of time" advice then crash and get fed up because they hit a brick wall. So a CF is an excellent tool to help a young city to grow, And well worth recommending.

Really? Because I have an Alcatraz in one of my cities and it only gives me the (extra) military units of military buildings that my city already generates. Not random military units I don’t already generate from my existing military buildings. How awesome that you have that ability

Yeah.
Forums are a two way communication system.
If you post a question and get a bunch of non-responsive answers then maybe you are just being trolled, but the odds are good that you did not clearly state the question.
Take your first post here. That could have been a concise question instead of being buried in the middle of insulting the ability of the very people you are asking to answer your question.

I think if the OP hadn't been so focused on bashing people with experience, more might have been gained from reading the responses.

I’m so sorry I didn’t show proper respect to advanced players who always give the same 5 cliche pieces of advice and who sit on forums like this all day pretending to know everything. Lemme guess “Get an Arc, build it up to level 80. Get a Traz.” is your gem of advice to young cities just starting out who are constantly running out of resources lol
Gee I wonder why people get real tired of advanced players and their magical advice real quick?

THANK YOU! I appreciate your well thought out and reasonable response. This is exactly the kind of advice I was looking for, so you DO think that a CF is helpful for young cities, as someone who is starting up young cities? Excellent.
I have a follow up question - are there other GBs you recommend getting first? And thank you again

fFixed. That's the question you should be asking yourself.

I did read your question. What came across to me is that it sounds to me like you are trying to do to much to soon. This game REQUIRES you to learn patience if you do not do that in the beginning the sheer weight of the game will end up stressing you out before you get started.
I would not recommend the CF and a first GB, Zeus, ToB, LoA, ToR, CoA , OB and CdM should still come first. You will probably not keep them all as forever GBs. So do not put to many fps into levelling any but the fighting ones(they are keepers) As is ToR. ToB for instance is good for initial population boost but there are far better GBs and event buildings to help with that as you grow, BUT CF is a forever GB, As it Traz and Arc. Aslo strict order of building is not a do or die thing. whichever one oth those you get the BPs first for, build it.
CF boosts random rewards from quests, Coin, supplies goods, diamonds and medals I think, but does not boost the number of troops.
Traz will give you random troops for your age whether you have the troop building built or not. but once you learn which troops in your age suits your fighting technique best, build one of those and Traz will spit out more of those.
Now what I have said is not written in stone. Others here will give you different advice. And from their way of doing things might say this is all rubbish. But from how their game has gone they see things differently, They are not wrong. It is up to the individual to look at all the advice and take out of it what will suit them.

No, it does not! The rest of your posts are great advice but this is 100% wrong, as was already established earlier in this thread.
You didn't give any respect to people who were trying to answer your question.

It is a 2 way street. The majority of the people you refer to come on to the forums before they have a clue about what the game is about. But already full of their own importance about how crap the game is, how badly designed it is. Because what they want is not handed to them on a plate. How their brilliance and insight is far superior, and how all you old guys have been around for so long you have forgotten what it is like to be a noob. So any advice you give is bound to be rubbish.
Once you hear all that for the umpteenth time for months on end, despite genuinely trying to help. It becomes easier to treat those people in exactly the same way

WELL I didn’t say any of that, I think it’s a very well designed game, and I definitely don’t think I’m brilliant. But I do think that many advanced players give the same couple of pieces of junk advice to younger cities players and that’s gets tiresome to hear over and over and over and over again, oh you think people should get an Arc and a Traz and level them up to 80? Thanks that’s great advice when someone in Iron Age who is running out of goods is asking the best GB to build up their goods and their guild is threatening to kick them out for not doing enough negotiations in GE while they run through what few goods they have. Then the same advanced player in their guild who is yelling at them for not keeping up with GE requirements tells them to get rid of all of their houses and goods buildings to make room for a Traz that their city won’t be able to support. Super advice. I’ve seen this over and over and over again on the various worlds I’m playing on, and it’s become a cliche. Thanks Brad, you worship level 80 Arc and Traz, how original
I think the game is awesome and beautiful. I think guilds and advanced players and their egos are the biggest issue in the game
