Liberate first town or build trust with 2nd town
Hello, I'm a new player on day 18 I focused everything on the first town and just gained enough trust to attempt to liberate the it. I've seen people saying liberating isnt hard but the Reclamation parties are tough, so my question is which option should I chose?
Option 1: I liberate the first town then start working on building trust with the second town. While trying to manage the town and build myself and my army.
Option 2: I build trust with the second town first, then liberate them back to back, which will let the towns trade with each other so there will be fewer supply issues and give me more time to build myself/army up.
I'm leaning towards option 2, but idk if there's benefits to liberating early.
Thank you for your time.
Also bonus question. Best Mid game base location? I was thinking of moving just right of the lake that is south of the first south by the fishermen.
