Upon starting Chapter 1, your flagship will be positioned near a few islands. Your first objective is to find an island with the necessary fertilities: Wheat and Hemp. Additionally, look for visible deposits of Stone and Iron Ore. These are crucial for early game development. Once you've identified a suitable island, navigate your flagship close to the shore and select the 'Build Warehouse' option from the construction menu. Place the Warehouse strategically, ideally with enough space around it for future expansion and close to resource nodes. After the Warehouse is built, immediately construct 2-3 Fisherman's Huts along the coast and 1-2 Woodcutter's Lodges in forested areas. Connect these production buildings to your Warehouse with roads. This ensures a steady supply of Fish and Wood, which are vital for your initial population and further construction. build a few Peasant houses to start attracting citizens.
