More likely doing just orange for a fellowship where
And that's what I like with the new FA map. Before it was only workshop and T1 production badges so whatever path you chose you always had to fill your city with level 1 buildings. Here the paths feel more different, with the orange best suited for tournament/spire fellowships with big cities that don't want to put level 1 buildings, the blue for fellowships that can't afford/want to keep for the pit the residues but are ready to place lots of level 1 buildings, and the green that is intermediate. The choice of the path determines what you'll need for the FA.
Left route here to, it's by far the easiest route for a happy crafting / spire / tournament playing fellowship. 95% of the requirments you get for free by just playing you just need 17 statues, some necklaces, 100 brews, 50-60 smiths and somehting like that in farmers. everything else is free and you get them automatic.
The right route needs many hundreds of them, They have spots that just 1 spot needs 64 smiths alone.
The left route is the tournament / spire / crafting route with little production, the right route has many many productions but fairly few tournament / crafting / spire badges, the middle route is an in betweener.
For more active fellowship there is no route easier than the left route. only those dwarves are a pain in the butt.
