My 1st settler is ready, but still nearly 2 months away from having enough rss to get warehouse to L20 in my 1st city ... I've spend the last 2 days upgrading rss. Minimum is level 5 to level 11 so far.

Do I go ahead and send them out (the location I am moving to is very far away).

Thanks your your help.

Probably folks in global chat would send resources to help you build your warehouse. Alternatively, folks in your new neighborhood might help your new city grow.

Everything depends on how you like to play, but I have found that starting new cities from scratch, even without resource help, can be an interesting challenge. You can send a bit from your first city to help the second, and even if it takes a day or two to arrive, if you have upgraded your storehouse a bit in the second city during that time, you can use 1000 or 1500 of each resource sent by caravan to upgrade resources and get your new city to produce more. Alternatively, you may have resources available in a trade hub near your new city, in which case you can send a little gold and some horses to make caravans and purchase resources from the trade hub to build.

Play whatever way you like. It's quite likely there will be folks in global chat willing to lend a hand in reaching your goals.

How far?

Which co-ordinates for 2nd city?

You can only start to send stuff from old city to new city after new city is founded. Ask people in the local area of new city.

Landing your second city is almost the exact same as your first. The only real difference is you don't get resources from the tutorial. But that is generally dwarfed by what nearby players would send you.

The game is set up pretty good where once your first city has long builds you have a second city with smaller builds to keep you busy.
