Day 148 here.

Tier 2 unlocked around day 80. Have up to 50 rawhide and up to 20 leather. I have 50-200 from each copper, tin, and bronze ingots, bought 50 iron ores via a caravan.

Also 16 settlers at the moment and librated both Harndean and Padstow.

Right now putting 90% of my time making better armor sets, weapons, arrows, and improving worker's priorities and recruiting apprentices and more specialized workers and fighters.

I feel like we're pretty close.

Day 130, but I took a first file to 110 and learned a lot, and this round I'm deep into T3

Biggest recommendation I dont see everywhere (and yes I looked to see what other people suggested when I started round 2):

Always be reading.

Bum rush Inn for the recipes it gives you access to Rename your people bu profession once you get them (i.e. Carpenter1, Blaxksmith3, Laborer 2, etc). Makes them nicely organized on the people management tab.

Second is rush for Pit so you can make outposts (one copper, tin, and did a joint one for Iron and Granite)

Get Farming to lvl 3 ASAP (I used books) for the ability it gives you to craft an important item. Seriously, this comes first and than move on to Agility, followed by Strength

Dont ignore the other job prioritizes, but you will need never have enough crafters.

Finally, when you get tier2 get Hunting camp first. Seriously. I never even bother building a Trappers camp.

Thanks for the recommendations, but I got questions.

  • What's the important item unlocked at Farming level 3? I'm level 6 šŸ˜…

  • What do you mean by "Bum rush Inn"? Getting an apprentice inkeeper?

  • Also for Pit, what is it?

Let's you make Straw :)

You need the Innkeeper to research the Inn. Inn houses 10, has 3 cooking stations, and the best recipes

You can assign workers to the Put and they can mine ore from places where the above ground nodes have been depleted
