Now im Coming to the Outeryard with some small explainations:

(again for those who cant see the picture: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/543/bild2li.png )

1 – The Gate: The Gate Leads you simply back to your Town

2 – Gold Mine: The gold mine is a small opportunity to gather 9 times a day a small
amound of gold. There is aswell a chance per goldmine to receive 10 Diamonds! After
digging 1 Gold Mine you will have to wait another hour to dig another on.
So you should try to dig all of them each day for a chance of diamonds!

3 – The Village (unlocks at Town Hall 10): The Village is a small mini-game which takes 30 seconds. Doing this
will determies how many extra soldiers you will get for the next hour upon drafting
volunteers from your Barrack.

( http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/808/bild3h.jpg )

This is the gaming window, upon hitting the start button you will have 30 seconds to take
5 humans who will pass by as shown on the picture. There are 5 typs of Humans:
– Child ( -5 points)
– Old men ( +0 points)
– Women ( +5 points)
– Young men ( +15 points)
– Strong men ( +20 points)
The higher you score, the more volunteers you will get, simply as that

4 – The Farm: here you will plant your crops so that you can harvest your food. You can
plant up to 9 crops at a time. You will unlocky every 10 Town Hall level a new crop which
grows faster and also gives more food upon collecting it. Other players can steal up to 5
times from your crops draining its value by 10% of the maximum each time. So if you
should forget to harvest them… what ever happens, you will still get atleast 50% of it.
Ofcourse you better harvest them before another player can steal your crops ;) here you
can also buy with some Diamonds a sentry to increase your chance of hindering other
players from stealing your grain.
Keep in mind that it just INCREASE the chance. it doesnt
protect them for a chance of 100%.

5 – The Cave: here you can send your Hero on an expedtion paying him 10.000 gold or
Diamonds. You can get some strong equipments here. but in my opinion its not worth to
use it as a free-player. This just works well on high levels when you have alot of diamonds

had to split the tutorial a bit since it exceeded by far the letter limits xD

but ok, that was it for now! i’ll add later on more stuff to this and to other stuff! so stay tuned! ;D Also let me a note if i made a mistake or what i still could add!
