Stuck - no stone to upgrade scouts, cannot scout any further

[BARNZ]

I'm playing on the largest size map in the mode where you can only win by killing your opponents.

I cannot attack anyone because I need to scout their land. I cannot scout their land because it says I need upgraded scouts. I cannot upgrade my scouts because I dont have any stone left and I cannot see any stone left on my land.

What should I do now? Is there any way to get additional stone?

You can build Marketplace (one of building that allow to change villagers to merchants), there you will be able to buy stone in some time

A shame to hear that your having this issue, there are a few great players out here on this forum or on Reddit. I would advise maybe having a look at some guides on Youtube at some point.

As for a solution a Marketplace would be your best bet in the situation you are currently in. You can buy stone at a fairly steep price but this will fix your issue. You can half the price of Marketplace items by taking the lore Negotiation which is found in the the lowest part of the tree on the right. Although I would advise the lower method mentioned in this post.

As for future advise, Carpentry Mastery is an ideal lore to take and it saves you a bit on materials. It's quite a strong lore for eco growth. I tend to upgrade the Scout Camp and maybe a Wood Cutter's lodge (Ideally 1 in a forest tile). That should leave you with 14 stone if you have Carpentry Mastery.

Imagine not upgrading scouts first smh.

Imagine thinking you know everything about the game but say you're leaving the game because you aren't happy with the direction the developers took it in by listening to player feedback but continue to prowl the forums and harass people anyway.

Please, do what you said you would do, and leave this game. Let the ones who actually care to have discussion and promote something good to do just that. Your "holier than thou" mentality is toxic.

ON TOPIC: Marketplace is your best friend. It allows you to spend Krowns for resources, including stone.

It takes a while for the market to be stocked and to accumulate enough gold. You may save time if you can colonize a wolf cave, which will give you 5 stone.

Thanks for the help - didn't see the marketplace building, must be blind
