First post shows that author is noob.
Capitol or not is depends of situation and kind of map (fixed or random).
In any case Capitol is very helpful and must be built on 2nd or 3rd week.

The author said "first" not 2nd or 3rd week. There are situations where capitol week 2 comes in handy (Stronghold - Balance)... but definitely not Jebus. Might as well throw in Crazyfest as well

Nothing is said about any special templates, there really are randoms where he who builds capitol first could get a huge advantage

A noobish thing to do is picking up gold, instead of experience..
Except rich templates, like jebus. Try to play maps w/o cons and hives.

I think it is exactly vice versa...lol
Jebus XL = taking experience from chest with main hero (who won't do that many fights early, but just visiting stat boosters) is quite a good thing to do. You won't miss the money, coz there is a lot of. On poor maps you need every piece of gold you can find though....

the first week goal in jebus usually is to have castle + portal. if you can build portal day5 and day 6 citadel, day7 castle, the angel can be very useful for defeating the guards of an angel dwelling, for example. not the 3 angels - they can be defeated with pikes, monks and swordsmen. often the creatures guarding the portal pose a bigger threat. so, for building the portal on day 5 one usually has to choose gold over experience in treasure chests. yet, if jebus is ridiculously rich...

I can't admit this happened to me! Worst part is that i didn't even saw it coming. Where is the Magic Arrow when you need one!

Noobish thing to do is play Necro then not farm skellies, and call Necro the weakest town when you lose.

On the seroius side...whats soo noobish in going for Capitol first? I dont understand...I always do that and i might say I am not quite a noob. Can someone explain why isnt good to have 4000 gold a day faster as posibble? I know I know is about several turns for building marketplace,blacksmith ,mage guild and citadel\castle but...Is that such a bad thing to do? Going for capitol?

Well i think its not the worst thing to do, it all depends on the temp you play, but most often than not, what use is it having money, but no army to buy it? The important things is to build unit buildings as much as you can as u can get money from naga banks and other money buildings.

on most random templates players meet on week3-4. By that time you should have strong army, good skills, good primary stats (hero level 12-20; about 15-25k experience), you should open more than 1/2 L size (or even XL size) map, etc. How can you do it without army? As Devangel said there are many places that will grant you will money (chests, crypts, dwarf treasury, nagabanks, utopias, etc) and very few that will grant you with army (normally guarded by very strong guards). There are threads where money/cr.building strategies are discussed in details, have a look into Library table of content.

i usually head straight for capitol, and getting experience out of the chests. getting the money sooner makes it easier to get the costly level 6 and 7 creature dwellings in your town. also, if i can, i try to get other towns and get them up to city hall. money is very valuable, and if you have a lot of it, you won't run out when you do get your higher level troops, because you've saved enough from getting the capitol early on. [this is how i play with most sides, exception being necropolis and stronghold]
