Tip for the Tutorial

Let's start at the very beginning. After you create your account for GoodGame Empire, you will go through a fairly quick tutorial that goes over the basics. The tutorial is pretty self-explanatory, so I'm not going to talk about it. However, there are a few important key points that you should be careful, especially if you are a perfectionist like me. The first important note about the tutorial is that the castle and army you use for the tutorial is not actually yours. You get moved to a brand new empty castle after the tutorial. I consider the tutorial to end right after it teaches you to attack a robber baron castle. Second, when you defeat that castle, a page as shown below should pop up.

This is where you choose your flag and your colors for you castle. You should take your time and choose your flag very carefully because later on, if you want to change your flag, it will cost close to 3000 rubies, which is the game's "premium" currency that you have to buy with real money. Also, the colors that you choose will be everywhere, from your castle walls to your soldiers. Press play once you've selected your flag to move to your own castle.
