Yea I can see why you and your guild did what it did, MechaStorm.
Although I still very much prefer my way, as I think it's more stable and also pushes every member in the guild to grow.
In the end, your location and surrounding environment may have more influence on your expansion style above all else.
How about City construction? What build path do you guys use?
There's a really good, must-see tutorial we have here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=fTEzWYXJkbs&NR=1I'm interested to see if you guys completely agree, or deviate at all from what was said^
For me, I personally have particular ways I like to build, depending on the situation:
Upon joining a new world - I will focus on resource buildings (clay, clay, clay and some lumber). I don't worry too much about the City Hall (and barely the farm/warehouses) because I feel confident the Beginner's Protection provides ample time for construction. Then again, this method assumes you can pretty much stay on top of Valor 24/7 (which I try to, when it's a new world), and not waste any game time.
Upon conquering a Barb city - depending on the location, of course, but most likely I will immediately try and max out the warehouses, and the ONE resource building that my other cities are deficient in and can't afford to send as much (I find my established cities tend to be strong in 2 out of 3 resources. Plus, I feel having to send all 3 resources is too much work and inefficient. For me, it's receive 2, and level up the other 1 on its own).
