----------------- Types of Kingdoms ----------------

(#) = Difficulty Level 1-5

Starting a Kingdom: You would always want to place your first village near the road, and as close to the Mountains and Forest as you can get. This will be a great provider of resources to boost your kingdom well. As soon as you upgrade your village to a Citadel you would want to start focusing more on your forces as well as setting up atleast one more village.

Barbarian (3) : The barbarian kingdom is more of a spread out kingdom that really relies on its Military than resources. As well as it is used for scouting around your island and providing a flanking oppertunity on your enemies. Though this is very greatful you will not be able to build walls around your kingdom.

Sea-Bound (2) : Telling from the name your whole kingdom is more located on the shores of your island. Depending on where you place your Villages/Forts you will have a chance to gain resources easily such as Timber and Stone. You will easily be able to put walls around your kingdom.

Trade-Fair (1) : The name tells it all. Your Kingdom is located more together and focused on resources in that area. A perfect way to start off your kingdom and gain money through trade. Though you will be in more of a peaceful life inless you want to spend the money on your Military.

All-Knowing (4) : Wince you have upgraded to a citadel, you will start feeling that you need another village. The All-Knowing type of kingdom is more a resource gatherer. This means that you will place villages around your kingdom and they will provide resources that can be sent (via wagon) to your Capital. -- This is not recommended for starters though it is a great way to build up your Military/Kingdom Fast.

Fortress (4) : This is more of a waiting game. All you focus on is your Military and Resources. You will gain up to 3 Citadels, and use them to gain money, Wood, Stone, and a little bit of Iron (if you can find any). After this you will build only structures that will recruit your military. This is more of an Independent Kingdom where each castle fends for itself.


Editing is a Possibility

Interesting, but could you please edit your lines in a way they wouldn't break out of the frames?
