Hey you. You’re finally awake, and reading my guide. You were trying to play the game without actually knowing what the hell you’re doing and randomly pressing buttons, pretending it’s FarmVille, right? Walked right into that Jhinternal ambush, same as most people reading this, rig...
Save them for Gwen events. What’s often available through those events are the greatest difference makers. I would say go for the free nobles during the early game. Then just sit on the rest until you are truly in a bind and need to bend the rules of time a little. Never waste crowns on silly things like resources, troops or most building speed ups.

In general, focus on the things that are true difference makers and not things that give you nominal advantages you could achieve through increased activity or patience.
