Building a Base

[Alex]

I'm currently looking for a spot. Picked the Forest realm. Now I need to start a base and honestly I have no idea what to look for. I've found some flat spaces, wide too, but not much defense options. There are these peninsulas, would make great choke points, depending on how the enemy attack will work, if it's one of those games that spawns crap randomly around you or what? So any advice what to keep in mind when picking a spot, aside the obvious availability of resources.

Anyone? Come on. I need advice here.

I don't believe the game has any wave based attacks, or enemies that attack your base at all in fact.

Really? That ballet Satan guy said there would darkness and I need to protect myself plus I've seen those teaser videos with monsters breaking buildings. What they changed that?

No. Just build what and where you think is adequate.

Ive watched some videos about where to build your base and the best place is between your essence trader and the portal. However I recommend closer to the essence trader since you will be able to build your own portal after a bit. If your essence trader and portal are to far apart like they were in my first forest world then build a basic base and when you are able to make cards move your base.

Honestly, build where ever you want. You can craft your own portal pretty quickly, and when you reach that point where you can craft your portal, then you have already ''outgrown'' your ''local'' trader. As in, the stuff he sell you have already bought all or simply dont need.
As at that point you will always search out traders in differant realms

So find a spot you like, that's all you should consider really in my opinion

Build it in the middle of the swamp. Just because nobody else does it. :D

I actually suggest close to the transmuter, you wont need the essence trader or the portal before soon.
But the transmutation tower is a tool that needs to be used...alot.
In terms of the souroundings i suggest close to stone, as you dont want to build a wood shack :)
or maybe you want!

But you can make your own transmutation tower too, just like making your own portals. First step I do when making a new portal is step through and install my transmutation tower (and give it a card I like such as Treasury). That way I dont have to do the Fae towers so early. Last step when closing a portal down... picking that back up again.

Build close to the portal if you have friends to save them the walk to your base if they decide to visit or vice-versa, if your portal is linked to a friend's built portal, save yourself the trip to it when you want to steal some materials from their base.

You can build your own portals but they will never link to other built portals.
