City Development

How do I build a silver alt city?
Why do I need a silver alt?

Silver alts allow players to play at the highest levels of this game for little or no real life money.

So here's what you do...

Make a Day 1 new city, which gets free process speedups for 2 days. You'll need to buy at least one $5 resource pack to get the gold necessary to move your capitol to your kingdom.

Resources

Resources are going to be your biggest constraint. You'll need a bunch. There are a couple of ways to get the resources you'll need. You can save up resources in your city or you can purchase cheap $5 Day 1 packs. Day 1 cheap packs are not necessary, however, a few carefully chosen packs can pay long-term dividends and really speed things up if you're a little short on resources in your main city. If you're not using any packs, then clear out the troops from your main city and let your alt get all the RSS it needs from your city.
Tip: Make sure you finish absolutely everything to level 19 before your capitol or your hero get to level 20.
Tip: Once your city level gets over level 19, the development packs go away. Keep your city below 19 until you're ready to go after a hero led event.

Hero Development

Level up hero to level 65 minimum but level 105 is best. All hero talent points are used for Silver Production and Tile bonus talents. Use only a single talent point on other talents to get to the Silver Production and Tile bonus talents. Consider hitting a hero led event, hard, to gather lots of VP.

Mansions and Farms

While still developing your city, you'll need to keep 6-8 farms and the rest mansions. Farms are important as you still have to grind a little for VP. You need farms for troops for VP. You'll need nominal development for your hero and capitol to get silver production and tile bonus talents and economy tech. So no fewer than 6 farms until you are done growing and doing anything but producing silver. After that, you can maximize your mansions to your liking.

Troops

Use the VP from the hero event to get T4 troops and after that focus all your VP on silver production and archeology researches.
