Everything slow down

I am still building up the army. All the resources of 4 of my villages is used for it. So, everything is slow down in these days.

In the mean time, i have sent a IGM (In game message) to the attacker, telling him that i don't want to fight with him by using all of my armies, as there is no benefit for both of us. And the attack is stopped now (finally), which he never knows that i only have a very few number of army at the time i sent him the message :-p

7th village founded

Finally, the 7th is founded 3 days ago. Oh, one funny thing, i have again forget to construct the Rally Point for the settlers to move to the new village ^^"

My first 3 villages are attacked by a massive force, and all the defenders are KIA ^^~ Hopefully, more attackers are killed at the same time, so, it seems that the attack is stopped by now.

So, i have to rebuild my defensive forces now (it may need 10 days), i think i have to build a stronger army this time to scare the others :-P~

7 hours travel time

The 7 hours travel time to my 6th village drive me crazy ^^~

I have a bad plan last night, and there is not enough resources to construct the level 10 Residence. I need 7 more hours to transfer the resource now! OMG~

Another problem is that almost all the Merchants are working now, and i still need more Merchants ^^~

1000 culture point?

As expected, the 6th village is difficult to construct a Residence. I have just started the level 1 Residence now. It seems that I need 1-2 more days to found another village ^^~

I have heard from a good player that we can have 1000 culture point for each village everyday. Oh, how can it be? my highest culture point village is only 600 ~@@~

6th village after 3 days

The 6th village is founded for 3 days.

Now, the village can store 9600 resources and 6300 crop, the resource fields are at the level of 5 in average. I think it is a good progress.

But i have encountered a problem, each time i send resources to the villages, the Merchants cannot come back until 15 hours. That makes the Merchants very demanding for all of my villages. So, I plan to build a Trade office, it is also good for gain more culture points. (And it is the first time i need to destroy a building to construct a new one ^^)

Another new village can be founded in coming 3 days, i think i will construct a Residence in the 6th village, i am worrying that i need to send a lot of resource to the 6th village to build the Settler, it is my calculation:
1 Settler resource need: 5500 + 7000 + 5300 + 4900 = 22700
3 Settler resource need: 22700 x 3 = 68100
As 1 Merchant can carry 750 resource, thus, i need 68100 / 750 = 91 Merchants count

Don't forget that every Merchant need to run 15 hours for each journey. My guess i need 2-3 days working on that matter, as i cannot 24 hours online in those coming days ^^~

6th village founded

The 6th village is founded! Since this village is too far from the others (reason here), 15 hrs for the Merchants to go and come back @@" So, i have made a little adjustment building up this village.

My plan is to build Warehouse and Granary first, of course, with enough Cropland to support the food. (I always forget to consider the food support while planning the buildings ^^") And then the Merchants bring resources to the new village, build up the resources fields as soon as possible.

Assuming that no one will raid the village (This area is supposed to be relatively safe ^^), i will not build Cranny at this moment. Normally, i will build one 10 level Cranny in each village.
