Im looking for any help and advice i can get in parish management. Im new to it and i want to do it right.
I have ownership at the moment of a new parish on a new world and i do not want to let my parish mates down, i have plenty of experience managing my many villages but not much in the ways of Steward, im not looking for a build order or anything like that, mainly general advice and knowledge that i can use to think over and adjust my strategy too, any and all advice would be highly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Re: Parish Management(help)
Well my suggestions are:
- Keep building stuff so there is always some guild to donate to;
- I think the parish members would welcome if you keep them post on what you're doing, like what is the next guild you're building;
- When you cover the basic buildings (stone, wood, architect, apples, cheese, etc), ask for suggestions on what guild should be built next, this makes them feel that they're part of building process and a community (Note: weight your opinion with theirs, dont do everything they ask for, make a balanced judgement
) ;
- If you have already some guilds fully upgraded, delete them and post them on the parish forum (for example), so that you and parish members keep note on what has already been built and to narrow suggestions (point above);
- Use the parish army to help deal with enemy AI, as the steward you have the obligation (my point of view) to have the initiative, the new players count on you to help them grow faster and protect them and mid-players to facilitate their lives, though encourage all to help destroy enemy AI;
- Send warnings through the parish "twitter" (or whatever) about donations, make sure that the parish members donate, specially producers of more "scarce" resources, they have rights BUT ALSO duties, they are part of a community, so...
- If the parish reaches a great amount of gold, decrease taxes a bit, the others will welcome it.
You didnt ask for a building order so I guess I cover the essential, I cant think of more but surely someone will

Re: Parish Management(help)
I have a new parish with NO troops in it and only two new villages availoable. How can I get any troops? Someone keeps pinching the flag- what effect has this on development?

Re: Parish Management(help)
Because W5 has entered the second age- I missed the earlier posts which covered start-up situations- at present although I have two barracks and wood & stone, I cannot even get a wall around the Parish keep- what have I missed? Now the flags are being stolen when I am off-line so it is a vicious circle- no wall, no flags!
PS I notice the link to the Wiki page still refers to deleting guilds- surely this needs to be amended to warn those who are in 2nd age (some may start in one of those worlds)
Thanks for the advice so far, it all helps, but how to start???
