White Lily:

Starting Out: Purchase all available wood and tools from Lord Northburgh. Settle on a large, flat island with Cider and Hemp fertility, and at least two Stone and Iron Ore deposits. Settle on the southern end for initial deliveries.

First Settlement: Build three woodcutters, two Fisherman's Huts, and a Marketplace surrounded by houses. Adjust taxes to 'Happy' or 'Calm' as needed. Build Cider farms once 60 peasants settle.

Exploration: Use your Flagship to discover all islands. Visit Northburgh again to buy a Diplomatic Scroll, then deliver it to Al Zahir for a ship full of resources.

Stone and Tool Production: Prioritize producing Stone and Tools independently. Build a basic settlement with enough Fish, Cider, and a Chapel. Establish a Stone production chain and then an Iron Ore mine, Charcoal burner, and Tool maker's workshops. Block citizen ascension after 16 houses to conserve tools.

Satisfying Citizen Needs: Produce Linen Garments (Hemp Farms, Weavers Hut) and Ropes (Hemp Farms, Rope Yards) for sale. Set up a second Tools chain. Implement Fire protection (Carpenter/Fire Station) once you pass 355 citizens.

Developing the Orient: Settle a large Oriental island with Spices and Dates fertility. Build 10 Nomad Houses for Spice production and deliver Spices to your northern island. Aim for 440 Nomads to unlock buildings and build Milk farms.

Developing the North Further: With Spices, Citizens can progress to Patrician level. Settle a new northern island with Brine deposits, a river, and Crop/Herb fertility. Produce Bread, Beer, and Leather Jerkins, and sell surplus. Upgrade trading fleets of Al Vizir and Northburgh.
