LS city

The main purpose of these cities is to escort OLU attacks and prevent birs snipings. Don't let your LS alone or someone can destroy all of them when you're offline. Also, I recommend to train horsemen for farming. By the way, easy cities to be build, because you only need an academy level 16 to start making LS.

Best islands for:

• LS: + wood or regular wood.

Building priorities

Senate 24, in this level you can pick the special constructions;
Academy 13 for Birs and 16 for Light Ships;
Farm Max;
Warehouse 20, to stock resources for building more ships;
Resources that one with + max, normal 35, - 30, this is for your  fleet basicly .
Market 10, to send unwanted resources to other cities;
Barracks 10~0, to farm with Horsemen, if not, get rid of it;
Harbor 30, if you use Call of the Ocean, then Harbor 25 is enough;
Temple 5;
Cave 10, it’s cheap and costs 10 of population;
Wall 25, it depends, but in the beginner is important to have a solid defense;
Resources that one with + max, normal 35, - 30, this is for your  fleet basicly .
Special building: Thermal Baths and Tower/Divine Statue(temple 12), more population and more defense or more favour.

Academy priorities

City guard, when you’re attacked, use your militia, with this research you have more “pop” defense;
Villagers Loyalty, only if you have a farming village in your island(don’t spend BP in Farm villages);
Ceramics, extra 2500 store of resources;
Architecture, you will economize many resources;
Trainer, to build your army faster;
Crane(good if you have the advisors and if you’re active);
Light Ships
Plow, free farm level basically;
Phalanx, for a stronger defense(you call members of your division or send support from your cities);
Mathematics, for cheaper navy armies;
Battering ram, both for offense and defense;
Cartography, your naval attacks are faster.
Only upgrade your academy to 14/17 or higher if you have many resources.
