Which city is best...

[Y_u_no_come]

...for starting an empire? I have 150 CP and 60mil. I originally started in calpheon due to my farming in hex, but I feel like my CP isn't being used efficiently. Are there areas that are best for resources, and if so, what areas should I be connecting?

it depends more in what are you going to craft. for example altinova has some zinc, iron and copper nodes close and 2 armor workshops so is good for crafting grunils.

Ive around 150 CP too


My main city is Heidel, which i prefer to Calpheon.

Heidel is smaller and easier to navigate and has a more central map position.
Both Velia and Gilsh are quite close, making good secondary cities.
Calpheon is still a bit more CP efficient, but i find it too far in the West for my taste.


I started with potatoes in Velia for beer production.

Connected Velia, Heidel, Calpheon, Gilsh, Kaplan, Altinova to make transportation cheaper (plus trading)

From there, slowly added all needed ressources to be as independant as possible while growing storage in Heidel, Velia and Gilsh (maxed in Heidel and Velia)

I lifeskill a lot, so i started by making my own tools too.
Most of the other stuff, i switch and make as needed.

I keep around 5 free CP to connect any area i will farm on for some times.


Not saying it is the best, but it works well for me.

Kinda depends, really.

Heidel is probably best, because it's in the midle of everything. Heidel also gets some rather unique nodes near it (honey, Wool)

I use Vellis for beer production and start my fishing boat trips. Olvia for trade box production and mining. as it has lot of free space.

I've linked Olvia, Vellis, Heidel, Trent, Altnova, Glish, Calpheon. Saving to link Keplan now, but I do spend 12 CP in fences for farming, and about 12 CP in Island nodes for fishing., so not quite there yet

Thing about CP, find there is never enough. Once you get some, find somehting new to do with it

Thanks everyone. I'm going to have to invest in velia for the beer, ans heidel since it's in the middle. Altinova sounds tempting but it's in the middle of nowhere. I'll probably do that one later when I get more advanced and increase my CP to 200.
