I don't think u did, but would u do a research upgrades vid? Like what they do and when u should research them in situations

[@RiccardoCazzin]

In this video you said building the granary and the lumber is quite important. If I were using the Germans, should I build them sooner, thanks to their bonus?

[@IG7799-c4u]

You can do.

[@twiglets2]

Hi Riccardo, I agree with IG. You CAN do, as it's always good to take advantage of a nation's specific bonuses, however don't feel like you HAVE to build them straight away. All their Granary, Lumber, and Smelter upgrades are 50% cheaper too, so even if you don't build them right away you will still receive the benefit of these cheaper upgrades later on. Germans are a great nation to use, enjoy!

Ok, thank you both!

what do LT, BM, BU etc stand for?

[@twiglets2]

Hello! These are the hotkeys, for example "Science 2 (LT)" is because tapping L will select your library and tapping T will then begin the science research. "1st Mine (..BM)" is because tapping .. will select all of your citizens, then B will ask them to build and finally M will select a mine, then ..BU to build a University etc etc. You don't have to do this of course, you can just use your mouse to manually select, but using the hotkeys can make this a lot faster for you (if you can remember them which I really struggle to do!)
