Early game questions

Im at this stage right now, fat chicken heritage and chromlechis going now. Im saving for Academy. Is this the way to go right now ? Or should i save 100k gold and buy a field before I get one from a hero ? Or the price increases whenever I buy a field and hero capturing fields dont add extra cost to buying them ?

What are the hidden early game strats i might be missing ? I kind of spent my amber in one game by accident (cleared fields and didnt know the cost increases).

Strange but I am now at 10 tiles (with one tile being hero captured) and next tile costs 100k for me, while the guide assumes that when you are at 12 tiles only then you need to strive for 100k, maybe the game was less grindy back whenever ?

according to the rest of the thread in there, surveyors used to be a lot cheaper so it was much easier to keep expanding just buy getting more gold. (surveyors are after 20 tiles when you unlock sea + shipyard.)

the op just really hated the change; but it's still very playable after sailing, so don't worry too much about it.

you should've gotten 2 more tiles from academy + hero capture, i'm going to assume.

Yes, i was ahead in terms of capturing tiles with gold. That hero capture that needed 1700 victories took way too long

it only gets worse my last tile was 10,100.
you get things to help out though. use the mentor bonus after the next one it costs 100k gold but its worth it.
you want to hit lvl 5 and use the repair-hammer, -1 shield, and +2 helmet asap. it will clear the first 1k enemies while you wait.
using the oni religion has good bonuses,
teh oni relic opens the barbarian class which does waaaaaay better than basic adventure. also the ronin which will let you use autoattack so you can keep going in the background.

Yeah i know the combo for hero, but that works only till you hit 1000 enemy. Then the wolves eat you. After 1000 i could not come up with an invulnerable combo.

[cylordcenturion]

there isnt one until level ....16? where you get a scythe that has regen.
but you can get much further with barbarian.
barb has double kill so teh repair hammer repairs 4 per fight and has a net + armor til 2000 i think and if you have oni hp regen and revive then you can easily get into the 4000s on your second or third battle with a good mentor bonus.
