Goldentowns post #2 - First steps

---

Hi there steemit users! Here we go with the beginning of a series of post to show you the basics of this game. If you don´t know what game I´m talking about, you can read it from my previous post .

So, once we have registered an account and we log in, we have this town prebuilt (sometime ago it was supposed to be the buildings you created in the tutorial)

Let´s produce some goods before we continue upgrading stuff. We will start only with 4 of the buildings: Vegetables Farm, Farm (Meat), Wood Factory and Stone Quary. For now, we don´t need iron and clay.

We can see the structures to select. The order given does not affect in production, but we will you it when we upgrade them.

Now, we´ll proceed to create level 2 roads to improve our production buildings. Keep it as a general tip. To upgrade a structure to a level X, the road that connects the city hall with the place needs to be X level.
So, let´s see the way to improve the roads

As you can see, we start with the lower branch to follow the order I gave before to the buildings. Once we have full lower branch, we level up the vegetables farm and proceed with the upper branch. After it´s upgrades, we do the same with meat farm, wood factory, stone quary, claypit and blacksmith, in that order, as we marked in a picture before.

At this point we can start producing clay and iron.

Now, we´ll hire new employees to expand our production.

Upgrade the roads as shown above. This will let us to improve our houses to have more room to new employees.
Here appears a new concept about he game: influence. Some buildings need to be inside the area influence of other structure. In the case of houses, level 2 needs influence of Market.

Build a market in the 'M' mark. With this setup we can upgrade to level 2 the two bottom left houses. This is planned to be cheaper and with less renovations, but with fewer population at the beginning. Moreover, to be able to use this building, we need to put a free employee. That means that we can´t use him anymore to build, but the market will be active, else we can´t proceed.

Note: 'PS' and 'FH' stands for Police Station and Firehall.

Now, we repeat the same process to upgrade our production buildings to level 3.

In the spot marked, we need to build a school. This structure permits to hire policemen, firemen ... but, what do we need them? Well, do you remeber when you put an employee in the market? That´s what we call a unskilled employee.
However, we will need a policeman for the police station we are going to build later.

Once the school is finished, hire a policeman. Meanwhile, create a police station at the right of the market and improve the roads to the houses to level 3. When it´s finished, upgrade to level 2 the market and improve to level 3 all the bottom row of houses. You can upgrade the two upper left houses to level 2 too.

After that, we´ll build the police station at the right of the market and upgrade market to level 2. This will let us to all the bottom line of houses to level 3 and two of the upper left to level 2.

Now, we repeat the same process to upgrade our production buildings to level 4.

The next step is like we did before. You have to hire a fireman in the school, build the firehall at the right of the police station and then you can upgrade the police station to level 2. Now we can improve the remaining houses to level 3.

Now, you have a well-stablished town and know some of the basic of building, such the concepts on employees, influence and roads level.

Hope you liked this post and is useful for your start.
