An Iron Age city could easily bring in triple that. Your focus should really be on coming out of Iron Age only bringing in 20 fps a day. Without knowing what you already have placed, I'll take a risk and say that advice is poor.

You mention just coming out of Iron Age, making 20 fps a day, and being advised to build the CF next. I think some of that is simply due to lazy thinking rather than not remembering what it was like to be starting a city with limited resources. Hello Eleanor, I get where you're coming from regarding advice that sometimes comes from long time players. It’s why I’m asking here instead of on my guilds. Is this something that most young cities can even take advantage of when many of us can’t even complete many of the story or daily quests with our limited resources and lack of fighting power? I think people who have been playing for literally years have lost all perspective on what it’s like to just start out and need to concentrate on goods and military power instead. After looking it up and seeing that CF, while an awesome building, really only makes sense if you’re getting recurring quests and have exhausted all daily and story quests.

Build your Arc to level 80.” Thanks, Kevin, but how does that advice help me, someone who’s just come out of Iron Age and who gets 20 FP a day? For this reason I am unable to trust their advice to build CF next. I’ve come to the conclusion that the more advanced players in every guild have no memory of what it’s like to be a younger city, and are all obsessed with certain GBs, giving the same tired advice - “Get an Arc, get a Traz.
