Reading resource quantity and hourly production
The top bar shows the production speed together with the current stock.
Resources, production and capacity
Manage where wood, stone, food, iron and gold come from and where they are spent.
The economy is not just the amount of stock; hourly production, storage space, and upcoming spending are read together. The well-managed village does not keep any resources on the ceiling and consumes its share of food to feed the army.
Principles
Stock + speed + capacity. When evaluating a resource, compare the amount available, the hourly increase, and the space left in storage together.
See two targets forward. Consider not only the next building, but also the cost of the condition to be opened after that.
Fix the bottleneck. Improve the production of the ever-deprived resource; make investment decisions by looking at the one-time surplus.
Topics
How is hourly production calculated?
Learn each resource's base production, the building and stage contributions and the multiplier chain applied on top.
Increasing resource production
Production buildings and development bonuses are the foundation of the economy.
If the resource for a transaction is not enough
Wait for the missing resource, improve production, or make it through safe routes.
How is warehouse capacity calculated?
Each resource's warehouse cap grows with a linear formula; a separate floor kicks in for the exponential building costs, and food also has an army floor.
Manage warehouse occupancy and overflow
Manage and undo the resource that builds up outside the capacity limit.
What are the five sources useful?
Learn the weighted use area of each resource and why it should be kept balanced.
How do production bonuses combine?
Correctly interpret the contribution of building, expertise, assembly and temporary support to production.
