Greetings Everyone,
Over the past few weeks I've heard a lot of complaints and questions regarding which upgrade to order and when. So I thought I might be able to give you a little background and suggestions for this matter. First lets break out the cost and time involved with each upgrade.

Recommended Upgrade Path
This path is recommended to allow the fastest response time across the map possible. While building fortifications is great for long term defense, the waypoint is essential to allowing troops to prevent the siege from ever happening. The most common mistake (Even I fell for it originally) is to upgrade Walls, Doors, Fortify Keep. Each of these takes longer than 40 minutes to complete. In the same time it takes to complete the first 2 you could have a waypoint in the keep allowing for fast troop movement. In addition the Structural Upgrades cosume a lot of supply and often times the lack of supply will prevent any upgrades from completing when these are queued.
Optimal Progression Path:
- Hire a Second Worker - Essential to every upgrade. Cuts the time in half. - 5 Min.
- Build Cannons - 11 Min
- Build Mortars - 21 Min
- Build Waypoint - 42 Min (74 Min Total)
- Reinforce Walls
- Hire Additional Guards
- Reinforce Doors
- Raise Guard Level
- Fortify Keep
Additional things to note.
- Personnel Upgrades and Additions do not require a Worker to complete. They are strictly time based and require Full Supply in storage at the time of purchase. If it costs 400 you will need 400.
- Structural Upgrades and Additions do not require the full ammount at the time of purchase. The Resource amount is the amount it will require for completion.
- Supply: Each upgrade that is added will grow the pool of Supply that can be kept in the Keep.
- Queing: You can queue 1 Personnel Upgrade and 1 Structural Upgrade at a time.
