The 5th day starts as usual: Collecting all productions, and restarting them. We collect the silver from the tavern and immediately invest it in a new chair. Then we use the forge points which came over night. This is something special today as with completing the first research of a technology from the Iron Age we move up into that new age. We receive a nice reward for this. InnoGames introduces what is new in that age. The upper bar shows the premium items, only being available by diamonds. I am not planning to use these. The bar below that displays the buildings, that we will have to research during the next days. When returning to our city we are welcomed with fireworks. Advancing to a new age is always a big step. The town hall is looking great now.

Currently I have a lot of wine in stock, more than in my real life wine cellar. But I definitely also need other goods. There is nearly nothing in the market. I enter a guild, hoping that they might trade more internally. First I motivate and polish all members. I receive a few blueprints in return, including the second blueprint for the Lighthouse of Alexandria. But there are no possibilities to trade something useful. Therefore I leave this guild again.

We better decide for a different strategy. Two players are offering a Bronze Age good for wine. On of them is Panthara, offering 5 marble for 5 wine. I don't like paying a forge point for a trade. I can avoid that if the trade partner is in the same guild with me. I look in the ranking list of all players, finding Panthara there. She is a member of the guild Valor. In the ranking list of all guilds I find Valor and fortunately I can join that guild without sending an application first. I quickly polish and motivate for all members. Then I accept that trade offer and leave the guild.

I am interested in another offer in the market, published by LordSnotbubble. He is a member of the guild Angkor's Finest. I find that guild in the ranking list and join. I accept that very interesting trade paying 8 wine for 10 dye. I help all guild members and as this guild has no more trade offers, I leave again.

The entire market has no more interesting trade offers. Therefore I also publish a couple of trade offers. I should mention that the procedure explained above is not possible for app users. In this case the browser version has some advantages.

I decided that now is a good moment to invest the medals for new expansions. I place new expansions in a way that my city is as much a square as possible. This reduces streets.

I also send out my scout to find another province. When the scout arrives. I negotiate all sectors in the previous province as long as I already have the required goods to do so. For the third sector I need lumber. But there is not a single offer for lumber in the whole market. That is bad for me. I never saw that before on the German servers where I played. Possibly this server has less active players.

I decide to solve the problem on my own. First we need more people. I build a house. As soon as it is completed, we build a lumber mill. This has the side effect that we complete a quest granting 20 diamonds. Also the next quests are not difficult to complete. We easily pay some coins as our stock is fairly good. We receive 5 iron in return. We can delete 3 military units and receive 1,000 coins. The next task is to demolish 3 buildings. Deleting 3 segments of trails is enough and this is not a problem as they are absolutely free. This reward of 1,000 supplies was easy to get. Paying 5,500 coins to receive 6,000 supplies is not difficult for us. Finally I polish and motivate for all members of a guild to complete another quest, earning 1,000 coins again. Buying one forge points provides a quest reward of the first jewels, an Iron Age good. This phase of the game was very profitable.

In the morning we researched militia which also enabled the daily challenges. It is time to start the first of these challenges. The left challenge is not interesting as we don't need attack boosts. The right challenge grants a 55% chance to receive 10 forge points. That would be nice for us. We also had a little luck regarding the type of tasks that we received. They will complete themselves without doing much for it. For the boosts I decide for supply boosts. They are a little bit more expensive, but make more sense.

We collect the first lumber from this inefficient lumbermill. Next we will complete that quest asking for more happiness. Replacing all stone circles by schools will do that.

Only to complete the daily challenges, we invest 5 forge points into our Oracle of Delphi, although this great building is not really important for us. In return we receive 10 forge points, that we can invest in the technology tree.

We complete the quest that asked for happiness, we start night productions and finish a busy day.
