My Lands: Black Gem Hunting

Ah I visited that page numerous times and missed the line about city expansion. They should highlight or bulletin it to make it stand out more.

at higher levels you can buy it in auction with in game gold. I say at higher levels because it looks like most lots sell for millions...

so I could send a group of settlers from one end of the map to the other?

I was wondering if having a city at cap for its size 22, 27, 33, 38 and you apply city expansion does it raise the level allowed for the keep?

what determines how far a settler can travel?

there is a quest to complete 150 quests without failing more then 5. I am considering attempting this however the only quests that one can fail on timers seem to be Gem based. Is it worth spending gems for a helmet or is it cheaper to just spend gems on it after I get a hero?

Hoping that by this time tomorrow I have my second city founded. So any clans out there recruiting new players or is that not something that happens?

Look on the world map and see if your cities share borders with others. If so then the buildings in those villages belong to that city. Your best option is to look for new places to settle down unless you feel you can send in enough military to take out those buildings.

It would be nice to have a way to cancel an upgrade and possibly recover some of the resources if you change your mind about when/what to upgrade. Having to double check all my options just seems a bit rough when I realize oh snap I shoulda gotten that first.

I am close to ending the first mentor quest and I have come to realize I have probably been wasting this oppurtunity. As a knight I have spent mose of the gold on either wood or iron but now I realize I havent been doing anything with the population bumps. I let them sit idle and disappear over time ...
