Hi all
i played Utopia for a few years, some years ago - likely about 4-5 years ago ied guess.
anyways, i figured ied give it a shot once again, and i wanted to try out something new - i remember playing undead back in the day, but figured ied go for human/merchant - since yeah % income seems like a nifty lil bonus and +1 def on specs are quite nice too.
still, im rusty.. very very very rusty (as in omg look at the rust on that 13th century coat of plates)
still i have a few ideas on how things works, or at least used to work, downloaded angel as soon as i created my province, but the number game is a memory long gone from my mind.
so, basicly what im asking is for general pointers as to how i can play around with a Human/Merchant based province - any conceptual ideas or pure-bred strategies are very welcome and its entirely up to you guys if you wanna handle it via. pmīs or in this, the public thread
stuff that i know i lack info on is (but not exclusivly)
surgested DPA - (i figured 72 dpa, pure spec based DPA - ie. 12 def specs / A)
"imperial uberstretch" - ie. the dangers of province building without enough attention paid to maintaining the surgested DPA
Thieves - do i need them? is there any defencive used? is it a must have?
% building setup - im fairly certain i may have screwed up my current province here, as it all went on pure intuition (oh thats pretty sweet...)
and yeah, pretty much what ever advice you can come up with :)
cheers guys, and thank you for your time (and hopefully effort)
