Step 1
Determine what kind of economy you want to develop. There is no way to do everything, so you need to specialize your economy so that you have a trade advantage against other Fantasy RPG world countries.
-
Step 2
Build a solid defense. While it's not necessary to be aggressive (and it usually isn't a good idea for new players), you must be ready to repel attacks from outside aggressors who are anxious to exploit your inexperience.
-
Step 3
Join an existing alliance of like minded players. Being part of a larger confederation will not only give you a team of allies, but allow you to learn about the game from more experienced players.
-
Step 4
Participate in any humanitarian missions that you can. Having a positive reputation among the Fantasy RPG community will make you more popular with your fellow players, which will in turn decrease the likelihood of unnecessary conflicts.
-
Step 5
Keep your population well supplied. Nothing leads to domestic unrest quicker than an ill-educated and underfed populace; this is something that must never be neglected.
-
Step 6
Keep an eye out for exclusive trade arrangements with nearby countries that will lead to your own strong economy. The most important thing to keep in mind when establishing trade agreements is that you proceed only after a close analysis of your needs.
