City # 17 - Start date June 27, 2020 by Orb
NOTE: This post will be edited numerous times.
Primary goal: Glarg for a minimum of 90 days.
Secondary goals: 1000 FP in inventory, 1000 BA goods each, 500-750 IA goods each,
Tertiary goals: Dispel as many self created myths as possible...
Day One: Set up the standard Hut and Hunter... setup, and collected every 5 minutes until I had just enough coin and supplies to inch forward in that grueling process of dragging myself aimlessly through the desert of...
I upgraded the Huts to the Stilt house, with six Hunters and four Potters. Setting the supplies buildings to match timing with the house/coin cycle.
This is the long grueling drag... It's boring... You're going to buy FP, you know you are... Why? You want your progress to go faster. That is the trap of the game. Your desire to progress faster...
Patience, slow down, breathe...
Sad Note: there won't be any pictures at this time. Not having a phone prevents me from downloading the app to upload my images so they can be altered then downloaded to be uploaded into this post.
So... All I have are notes.
Day Two: Construction opens the Friends Tavern, which opens the neighborhood. This allows for aiding others and acquiring BPs. Received two # 8s for Babel first time through the neighborhood. Reached "Smithery" in the tech tree opening Guilds. First guild I jumped, I received three BPs. By the end of day two...only needed one more to complete Babel, and two to complete Zeus... Stilt houses upgraded to Chalets, Hunters and Potters removed and Blacksmiths constructed. End of day two, 36 blksmths, 14-16 Chalets... I have the images. Irrelevant
Day Three: Still using all FP for the tech tree. Guild jumping??? Babel is completed. Zeus, needs only one. First round of RQs: 25 goods, 700 coin, 1,600 supplies, and 10 FP. End of day three, 46 blksmths, 12 Chalets, the Hippydrome, some tough guys, and... oracle.
Day Four: The city is built. It will stay very similar to what it is at this time. Round 2: 46 blksmths - 35 goods, 600 supplies, 400 coin, 15 FP, 3 BP (1 Babel, 2 Zeus), 20 diamonds. The diamond reward was # 31 RQ.
Day Five: Hippydrome updated. That was the excitement for the day. Round 3 Helmet RQ: 46 blksmths - 35 goods, 300 supplies, 500 coin, 15 medals, 3 BP(1Babel, 2 Zeus), and 5 FP. Also, I complete as many of the Fnord RQ as I can... "Collect 1800 coin" - 90 aids guild jumping = 15 goods, 400 supplies, 200 coin, and 5 medals.
Day Six: Traded three Zeus prints... And received the last BP for Zeus. Now I need the goods...
Daily reports are done... Six days and I have the complete sets for Zeus and Babel.
Stopped in a guild and requested a small trade so I could construct Zeus, and Zeus is now out of the sticks and doing his Zeusy thing...
oracle???
A very sad event. While constructing Zeus, the crane operator suffered a sudden attack by a horde of pixelated infantry soldiers. She sustained a minor rash, but the complete mental breakdown from being attacked by cartoons was the last straw. The rest of us had to "eat" our shacks, (vanilla, chocolate, and STRAWberry), with those little plastic spoons... Needless to say, or write. The Oracle didn't make it..
This is the fifth time that I've used Glarging to begin a city. I've taken part in another method of starting a city, and that method is very effective in beginning a city to help it grow quickly. I will be using an aspect of that method in this city. For now... Happy forging
