How will you know? I have been in three GUILDS. Those friends will help trade FP's to build your Great Buildings.

So when you move slow, you build your friends list. What is your hurry? I can tell you there is no pot of gold at the end of the game, there is just more game. DO NOT ADVANCE too quickly through the ages. How? defense Great Buildings, WatchFires, Rural Flames, Tavern Bonuses for Defense, Inventory DEFENSE percentage bottles, SPECIAL EVENT buildings. Once you accept that, you build your city to withstand attack. Whining to other neighbor Kings or Queens doesn't normally help you, because it is a game based on Attack, Plunder the Spoils of the city you beat, and go back to the next Neighbor and do it again. I fight often, and I don't show up without a plan.
