Communication is all about listening

As you begin to play the game, you will have tons of questions. Very simply put ask all your questions, one at a time. Then listen to the answers, all of them. You will get a lot of answers; all pretty much the same responses. Then act on those answers as you would in any normal situation. As being advised by coworkers or supervisors.

This game is a team competition, so join a team or create a team. Then rely on your team to give you the answers you need. Will I tell you that all the answers you receive will be the right ones. No! There are people who are self serving and will take advantage of you from day one. This is why I say listen to the answers. Those who are self serving will stand out very quickly.  Yet, there will be those that are genuine in their desire to help you. So LISTEN!

I will go ahead and tell you a piece of advice. Start off by following the tutorial. It is time consuming but will give you basic instructions in the game. Then begin by building your first city for wood and stone resources. These will be the resources most used early on in your game. By the time you get to the sixth, seventh, or eighth city; you will begin looking into specializing your cities.  

Second piece of advice, build your castle after you have 20 to 30 cities in your empire. So listen to those that tell you this. When you get to this point you will be able to handle the tasks required to build, defend and advance an Empire with a Castle.
