Thanks, I knew there was one somewhere and had been meaning to look it up. |

You're doing well for artwork, did you skip Lincoln? Yeah, I don't see any particular reason in hiring him urgently. If I remember Bismarck likes artwork, I would better save resources for him. So I just reached lv70 and unlocked Hamburg. It requires 40 LITERATURE to build and Bismarck wants it too.  Do not take this deal. I shouldn’t have paid the literature for Hamburg, but I did it because I was curious about it costing literature. |

Well, I presume you already have two princesses with 10 and 20 literature respectively, so, loosing 40 is not a big deal. And since we won't spend literature and diamonds on Bismarck - giving him artwork is the only reasonable way, I think... Besides, we need a lot of medals to promote our generals to lvl 60, so Industrial age can wait a bit... |

Besides, we need a lot of medals to promote our generals to lvl 60, so Industrial age can wait a bit... I had about 700 literature before I paid the 40 lit for Hamburg. With 30 per day + me working on Discovery age conquests, I’d estimate that I’ll get to industrial in about a week or so. So I’m saving up. I want Attila to have his +80% dmg assault back. I’m also ahead by a lot on diamonds (due to Shizuka). So that’s what I’ll give him. |

If you have Nobunaga he might be the first candidate for promotion. His Mass fire is really an excellent ability. It is something around 50 percent damage increase against all types of units. |

Plus I don’t think he contributes that much for me at the moment. I don’t really need his debuff that much since Saladin with Gungnir + atleast 1 commander can oneshot any enemy I face at this point with Scarlet Flash. |

Having unlocked Cuzco, I found out that Ocllo has a very hefty cost of 20 Diamonds per payment.
I believe that it would have been a better choice to invest in Kate and possibly Shizuka as well beforehand. This would have partially offset Ocllo's extremely high cost.
Undeniably, with her 20 Literature per day reward and 150% Income per Turn ability, she's not one to be ignored for long.
Update: Having cross-referenced my player lvl with that of the lvl requirement for Gunpowder Age, I determined that my actual progress is relatively on-par with that of player lvl.
Even though Alexander and Babarossa are still in Empire Age, the remaining 6 Discovery Age gens out of my top 8 are strong enough to tackle Daily Invasions.
This means that farming Invasions is another feasible source of income which reduces the strain Ocllo's resource demand.

Shizuka might be bad because she might be coming around once your team is strong enough to handle most daily invasions. And once you do, diamonds and artwork become worthless. That may be just because I prioritized Ocllo over any of the other final princesses, but she’s definetly worth going for earlier than the others, even with her high diamond cost. |

I got Kate as soon as she became available and think it was a good decision. Not on only do we need diamonds to woo Oclio but also for Borte, and a lot of the later cities require them as part of their building costs. Along with the invasions, daily missions and legend mode I was able to build everything pretty quickly, including all of the shops; after 4 weeks of play I hit 125 cities this morning and have 17 princesses with Li to come later today. I also expect to build Hamburg today/tomorrow and have plenty of artwork to feed Bismarck. By the time I unlocked Shizuka her rewards didn't make too much difference but ultimately all of the princesses are worth getting asap IMO if only for the 50 medals per 3, and their cities are worth building to get your total up and we can only hold 300k coins so you want to be spending them before you reach that number, and you can still woo the ladies with other items like perfume or pearls etc if their favourite item is needed for a higher priority princess or general. |

Oh you absolutely get all the princesses, no doubt about that. It's just a matter of who you should get first and whether or not their bonus actually matters at that point. The 20 pearl/perfume/china/ivory princesses are actually sweet because those resources are in much higher demand at the start of the game, and they're all cheap, so you really don't have to pick who to woo first. Building Medina for Saladin for example costs like 60-ish china. That's really not trivial to get at that point and one really wants to get Saladin fast. The 30 pearl/perfume/china/ivory princesses' on the other hand has worthless bonuses, but are handy for padding out the princess count and their in game abilities, but they're definitely not worth getting over Borte or Ocllo first. Now that I think about it, it might actually be more efficient to rush industrial ASAP since that way you can spend Literature on Bismarck at no cost. |

Having unlocked Tenochtitlan, I found Xochitl to be equally as costly as Ocllo.
I think this further enhances the benefits of investing in Shizuka beforehand.

And Shizuka is about as costly as Xochitl and Ocllo. Possibly even more since Tokyo costs a truckload of resources and money IIRC. I don’t see why among those three you would go for Shizuka first. Ocllo is clearly the most important one. |

Ocllo is clearly the most important one. If Shizuka really is just as costly, then we don't have much choice in the way of strategic investments. I haven't build Tokyo yet so I assumed that Shizuka was cheaper. |
