Building Space
Clear Forests/Mountains that you don’t need , if you need to make room to make buildings.

Resource Management
At the start you only want to produce enough food to keep your people from starving/rebelling. You can do this by adjusting the resource sliders.

If you have enough of a resource reduce the worker count so your Gold can increase. Then when you need the resource, adjust the slider again.

Abuse the market to sell resources you don’t currently need, especially at the start.

Building Costs
Buildings on the main island cost 5 gold to upkeep. The cost for buildings then increases for each bridge away from main island. Try and make your buildings close to your centre Island at the start.

Getting Attacked
One Fireball scares away a Raven
Two Fireballs scares away an Eagle
If you get attacked by barbarians, send all your troops to defend, and repair the watchtower.

Commanding your Army
You can 'Bounty Hop', by commanding all your units to attack one position, and then cancel the Bounty, and move the Bounty rally forward. This will ensure all your units attack the enemy at the same time.

Build Order:

Fishery + 2/3 Cottages +Explorer
2 Bridges
Fishery +Lumber Mill +2/3 Cottages
Fishery
Magic Eye(If needed) + Arcane Currents + Bridge
(Fireball)
Castle level 2

Description

At the start if you clicked on the Resource map type, then you should have one island next to you with mostly Stone, and another island with mostly Wood. You want to send an explorer to each island to search for treasures. This will allow you to finish making a second Fishery, and more Cottages. You will need a Lumber Mill in order to make sure you have the maximum Cottages for all three islands. This should net you a nice Gold income.

At this point you need to search for the next island to explore. Zoom out of the map and use the Magic Eye spell to discover a new island, and use Arcange Currents spell to draw the island close enough for you to build a bridge to it. If it is guarded, then you need to send both explorers and use your Fireball power. This should give you enough gold for Castle level 2.

Description
This part is all about balancing your economy, and getting all of your buildings Level 2. You also want to be using Geology with your explorers. You are looking for a good place to place a Gold mine when you hit Castle level 3. As soon as you have everything upgraded to level 2, you want to rush a marketplace.

Abuse the market to sell resources that you wont be needing for a while (Coal), and build a Castle level 3. As soon as the castle has built, upgrade your Stone Mason to level 3. If you scouted a good place for a Gold mine, place a Gold mine. Then start upgrading your Fisheries and Cottages to level 3 for a huge Gold bonus. You will need an Assassin Garrison at this point, and if you are getting harassed by Ravens / Eagles a lot, find a good spot to place a Watch Tower.

Build Order
Assasin Garrison Level 2
Abuse Marker -> all buildings level 3
Arcane Currents -> More Islands
Expand Cottages / Farms

Watch Tower Level 2

Description
Once your castle hits level 3, you should be abusing the market as much as possible. Sell all excess resources, even Mana if you can spare it. You need all your buildings level 3. Now that you have the Assassins, you can explore a lot more Islands and search for a lot more Treasure.

Start building a lot more Farms and Fisheries on close by Islands. You might be running low on Stone, so you will need to look for more places to fit your next Stone Mason(s). Don't forget about your defenses, and upgrade your Watch Towers to Level 2 when you can.

If you find Raven/Eagle nests, make a Ruby mine so you can recruit Raven/Eagle Riders which are really strong. Build a Blacksmith to upgrade your Assasins, if you need to, make Coal/Iron Mines for the resource. This should get you a really strong army of Assassins.

You will need to start building a Warlords Tower, and make one Warlord so you can Terraform nearby islands.
