Hi,
@lOberonl, welcome to the lands of Elvenar

You will find a lot of advice here, but to give you a few head-ups:
- Build boosted manufactures only (you can find your boosted goods in both your Main Hall and your Tech tree.)
- Do not cross your roads for as much as you can; try to make them as long as possible.
- Remember, a building only needs to touch
one tile of the road for it to function; this means you can put some cultural buildings behind buildings connected to a road. Some cultural buildings will require a road, though.
- Find yourself a good FS; at first, it is more challenging, but as you keep going, be aware that a good fellowship is 50% of your gaming.
Have fun, and don't hesitate to ask questions if you need to!
