I think a big tip that’s easy to miss for hard difficulties is laying off all your woodcutters during the storm and have them build excessive amounts of roads instead. Getting to neighborhood before first storm is huge, let’s you keep a woodcutter camp going without even having to burn wood sometimes Having 16 coal, marrow, water before tackling forbidden glades Building the trader after you open first glade, as the trader shows up immediately after completion and you can potentially trade for a solution if you have bad luck. I disagree with the sea marrow burning because it’s so damn valuable to traders. A single deposit is worth a cornerstone which is pretty nice when you have your pick of the traders. A must for your first blueprints is getting started on complex food. If your map has coal mines you can safely burn wood early to get some reputation from resolve.
Hi, and thank you very much for add your tips! I know all the players will appreciate these. I do agree sea marrow is valuable to traders, and if you have extra, you can sell it, but I found it most useful in keeping the negative effects short when clearing glade events.
1) If you can have a Factory Cornerstone (gives resources over time) pick it, since with a Trader, you can buy extra resources. Don't do it for speeding complex crafting if you can do it on your own, but do it if you can't or lack the resource in the map. 2) Try to clear in Settlers or Pioneer difficulty the Ancient Battlefield, Bandit's Camp and Royal Watchtower, since these are the easiest modifiers to complete a settlement. 3) Pick, if posible, a 3 Star Oil producer, since Oil speeds up Global Production by 25% on all sources.

Great point Stelu Hututui ! I have been keeping away from it because of the large number of content patches which shake up the game every two weeks. Wanted to leave that part of the game for when the developers stop updating it. It is hard on its own, without constant changes.
As a new but quick learning player I want to say this, don't feel like you have to move up a difficulty setting after getting the lower cost upgrades. This game is hard and I can say that the upgrades will not carry you on anything above settler difficulty, learn the mechanics and economy first then move up.
Trade routes are OP, at least before prestige 9, so I strongly disagree with you there :) Doesnt require a lot, and at worst you go break even early on compared to selling to traders, and once you hit level 2+ relations with the settlements you get pretty absurd deals a lot of the time. They are also required for three top 5 or so cornerstones, namely prosperous settlement, protected trade and trade hub (global resolve/-hostility/reputation points per amber value of goods sold.) Also, Without restrictions and rebellious spirit are both S-tier cornerstones, so using them as examples for when you should reroll cornerstones is pretty misleading to beginners I think starting with 5 bricks/planks/fabric is very important, it lets you build one or two of the blueprint choices (better production options for planks, fabric and bricks) without wasting resources (and time) by making them at a high cost in the crude workshop. I prioritized picking the race-specific houses very highly (probably higher than I should even) because 1. they are good and honestly most importantly 2. they remove those from the blueprint pool, which gives you better chances of getting actually useful blueprints to choose from.
Hi Phineas Gage and thank you kind for sharing such wonderful and well explained tips. Naturally some things work better on some difficulty levels than others and it does depend on what you want to invest your resources at in the Smoldering City. Which upgrades I mean. I actually like that you disagree on many of my own general tips as it shows how many ways there are to play this game.

This video was very helpful as a new player. I already really like this game.
I am glad to hear that Andrew! Do you know it has a 96% positive rating on Steam? You basically can't find anyone who doesn't love it.
Do share your own comments for other players to read and learn and I will include them in future videos.
Consider going for a higher difficulty to get more resources to upgrade the city faster
