[Guide] Beginner's guide to TSO

[Gavona]

Is there anywhere on the forums, where it tells you the ratios for the more advanced buildings, such as crossbows, damascene swords, cannons, etc?

There are many many useful tips in this thread. The link you want is in post 3.

Hey guys, thanks for the guide, really helpfull! I don't really get the input for the wood cutters though.... Can I get one level 3 forrester to feed 2 level 2 (or more) cutters? Because the input is simply stated as: pinewood tree but does this mean it creates the building level in logs from one tree or do I need 2 level 3 forresters for 2 level 2 cutters?

As a rule of thumb you use 3 foresters for every 2 woodcutters (same level).

The maths:
I you leave travel time out of the equation, the following is true.
A level 1 forester will grow 1 tree every 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
A level 1 woodcutter will cut 1 tree every 1 minute and 30 seconds.
So to even the balance you need 3 foresters (planting 3 trees every 2:15) and 2 woodcutters (cutting 2 trees every 1:30), since that would be the same as planting 6 trees every 4:30 (2x 2:15) and cutting 6 trees every 4:30 (3x 1:30)

Keep in mind that the travel time will influence the ratio a bit so keep an eye on the contents of your tree deposits. If you see them emptying out pretty quickly, you'll need to build an additional forester.

(Yes, you can also build 1 level 3 forester for each level 2 woodcutter, since that would create the same balance)

You can use books created from the Bookbinder, these can then be assigned to your geologist to give them additonal abilities when searching which you can find out more about here
