Vikings Part 8: Wool Farm in Forge of Empires

In Part 7 we released the market and we are coming closer to the end of our forst viking outpost. Today we will develop the new building type wool farm. Only 3 more buildings will follow.

In case of our viking city we need 71 axes, 33 mead and 54 horn. These requirements will vary from town to town so that players always have to adopt a new strategy. Due to this you cannot simply copy this video for your viking outpost, but have to change it according to your city's requirements.

It is always necessary to make small changes in our city as there is always a possibility to improve the city a bit more. In this case we add another hut to have a bit more population in preparation of the coming wool farms.

Finally we have all necessary resources. Only some diplomacy is missing. A runestone helps in this case and then we can enable this new building type. At this time we still have 6 days and 4.5 hours left for completing the quest line to receive the best bonus. This is not much, but if we continue to do our best, I still hope that we will meet that goal.

The wool farm is a huge building for such a tiny village as it has a 5x3 floor size. Worse than that is that we need 159 wool to enable the next building type. With a single wool farm this would require 32 times 4 hours. With 5 productions every day this would be 6 days and no more time for the final buildings and quests. Therefore I decide to construct 3 wool farms to produce in these simultaneously. This way we only need 2 days to complete this. I am not calculating with the 4x bonus. If we have the luck to receive it, we will be happy about having some more flexibility.

With the construction of the first wool farm we can complete the 15th quest and as a milestone reward we receive 8,000 medals. My main city is in the Contemporary Era. Other Eras receive more or less medals of course. Still 5 quests left for the last 6 days.

Then we create some space for a second wool farm. Destructing the mead brewery also provides the population that we need. Afterwards we also can construct a third wool farm.

I calculated everything very well. With three wool farms I would receive as many copper coins as I use and my copper coin stock would cover situations when the 8 hour productions of huts and markets are not yet ready.

But then I realized that I would need 163 axes soon. These productions will last very long. I react a bit too much and replace a market by an axe smith which I destroyed some minutes ago for a wool farm. At that moment this was a mistake. But I still believe that I will be able to complete the questline within the 21 days limitation.

With 3 wool farms, the beast hunter and the axe smith we use many more copper coins than we produce. This will not be possible very long. How to solve this conflict you will then be able to see in part 9 of this little viking video series.
