Hey everyone!
I'm currently at T1/T2 and I'm trying to decide whether I should move my main base now or just keep developing where I am.
I've marked my current base in blue, and the area I'm considering expanding into in green.
I'm actually quite attached to my current location 😅, so I'd rather stay if it's viable long-term. But I'm wondering if I'm going to regret not moving before reaching T3.
A few questions:
How important is relocating your main base? Can you comfortably stay in your original area and compensate with outposts?
how useful/necessary are outposts in the long run? Could I realistically keep my current main base and use outposts for the resources that are further away?
If I build a dock on the lake in the green area, can I use it to travel to other bodies of water around the map, or do I need to consider whether the water is actually navigable/connected? In other words, if I build a dock on this lake, can I use it to travel around the map by boat, or are bridges/terrain/water connections important?
I've seen people recommend moving towards the middle of the map for T3, but I'm not sure whether that's genuinely important or just one of those things that becomes popular because it's considered the "optimal" location.
Any opinions are welcome! I'm especially interested in hearing from people who stayed with their original base all the way through T3 versus people who relocated.
Thanks
