The first moment we feel like we’re surely growing nicely is when we make those 3 settlers and are ready to establish yet another base. Even if you’re using it as a “feeder” village for the future 12 (or 9) cropper, or it’s the cropper right now, make sure that village will be able to stand on its own as soon as you possibly can.
Our alliance has set a place we’re gonna gather our villages. I chose a cropper and before settling there I was advised to get a normal village right next to the “cropper” so that I can defend it better and also pump up resources in it. When working with 12 crop fields and only 1 normal field for each resource, it’s clear you’ll need to send many resources from the other village(s).
The plan was successful. I created the “feeder” village next to my future cropper and started sending a lot of resources from the main village to kickstart it. Weird as it might seem I constructed the rally point, upgraded the main village to level 3 and prepared the first clubswingers in the newly constructed barracks.
Why?
Because it would take 1 hour for the merchants to get there and, even if it was 5 minutes, why drag the main village down? It has to develop troops (catapults and teuton knights are pretty expensive), there are more upgrades there too and still I needed to develop the second base as much as I could as fast as possible.
So .. we had our fist 5 clubbies and started raiding the new neighbours (so they knew who’s in town). In few days the army got to a decent size (was able to research new better units) and the new village could stand on itself. The moment it was independent from the main one, I was able to still grow both of them and not hinder the first village from growing.
Many like to keep the second village sort of a “parasite”. It’s wrong since it will lack defense possibilities and all the resources it will consume might have been used by the main one. Having a good army (even if just the first basic unit for some time) makes up for the resources, through raids. Upgrading the resource fields while also raiding a lot will make that village develop a lot in a very short time. Instead of being a burden, the new village will help your entire small “empire” grow stronger.
