You're going to run into several of these before you can get to getting Smithery researched, and it won't hurt you to abort most of them. That explained, now we get into aborting side quests. These recurring quests are key to my method of gaining your first two great buildings in less than a month, and so naturally you'll want to get to them as quickly as you can. You can take Hymir, but then stop until you are ready to advance to Iron Age. They can disappear on you if you advance the storyline (continent map) too far. There are other circumstances where recurring quests are activated, later on in the game, and you can have up to three of them running simultaneously, but in these early ages you'll only have the one at a time. Too, they are only presented to you when you have completed or aborted your way through all the side quests there are for your age but before you've advanced to the next age. You can either complete them or abort them, but they'll keep coming back. You can either complete them or abort them. They can be put off, but they cannot be aborted and thus skipped. Just reiterating we're not rushing through anything here.Ī bit about the types of quests you will be given. You don't need Tyr, and you need Fel, but that's day two. Scouting both of these after taking Dunarsund is a storyline mission you've got to do, and it will be followed by a storyline mission to take one of these two territories. I started a city specifically for demonstrating this method, and here is where I got on the tech tree by the end of the first day: This is the key technology to my foolproof method of getting your first two great buildings quickly. It's now time to get busy on building the coin and supplies you'll need to get you far enough through the tech tree to have Smithery researched. You're in Bronze Age, and the tutorial part is finished. Also, it'll show you how you can be the first one on the block with Great Buildings.

So how is it that my Late Middle Age city's outcome is so different from that Colonial Age city? That is what this guide will demonstrate. This is because my three goods-producing GBs deliver a total of 53 non-plunderable goods for my age per day. I don't need them, and won't, until possibly Modern Era, where refined goods come in. Note also I've got just the one stone quarry, and they've got six goods buildings. And #2 in neighborhood rank, compared to #22.
