I just have one city core -- is a second one a project of level 6? I've been wasting money (and time) re-arranging my assets, so the very high/cycle assets and those that I'll want to surge are on the quick charge or close by and the ones I don't want to keep (but could not sell) are in a bottom corner or around the core for it's next upgrade (which will be two cycles from now, when I'll have enough cash). |

Thanks for the joins. Really. Big thanks. I'm just 1 cycle away from level 5. Apart from the coupon it ll heavily push settler-moneymilking so I better finish that.
Thereafter money farming ll be prioritary and i promise to ally back. The last alliances are costly so I ll not manage to pay them all today tough. |

Watch the ressource-balance.
Level up (for books) Ally with others (for more books) Wait for world-reset Repeat |

While this all seems a bit pointless, apart from free books that is, I joined and will see how it goes. I am gifting as much as I have to people in this post, and have had some gifts back. I will be adding people as allies as soon as I can while trying to level up.
Game name same as here, and everywhere else in life. |

Well, to level up (or get allies), lots of bucks are required. In early levels, I sold any core resources (not everyone is allowed to so, it seems random which you can and can't), but after a few levels, you need energy more than anything else (energy needs = population* level). Since bucks/cycle = asset production + (population * level), more people = more bucks (but more food and much more energy required). Bliss I ignore, since buying stuff raises it and if it is much higher than needed, you just have to pay more to get rid of whacks. Keep a bit of surplus, just to take any bliss hits in case your energy is too low for a cycle (otherwise, just keep adding energy -- at level six, it's all I spend surges on now, while I wait for enough cash to level up). Had I had a strategy earlier, my population would be higher and I'd be growing levels much faster (not that I ever hope to hit the levels of some early alpha players).
I'm almost to the point that it costs as much to join an alliance as go up a level - with the doubling cost/ally, I may never make it to twenty... although, I am getting close. |

what do you use 4 energy?
it seems that the open coal mine left at lev 1 has the best surge to e ratio until the reactor is available... I just made it to lev 5 and built the 1st 2 tasks there since they give money and food in case I get population addons so I can use them w/o starving but apart from that I harvest energy on fastload and money for the remaining alliances |

use them ass ressource for city core upgrades the only way to remove them from the asset grid |

Yep, if you have a useless core item, that's the way to dispose of them. I have one left (that's going in this cycle), other than the core itself. |

Uhuh, with things knowing from now, I could make a better game, but it is for fun. Hm, if I had know in the beginning it would cost so much to move assets I had made better choices of the quick charges. At energy is alwasy rare. Don't know how the higher levels manage it.
