 ** If you have trouble upkeeping the high amount of guilds on small land: sell the items!
 ** Guilds build quite slow. For efficiency, after exploring, first build [[workshops]] one-turn-by-one-turn to a few hundred (and also build some [[towns]] and [[farms]] to upkeep stuff) -- thereafter build remaining wilderness to guilds, -- thereafter destroy 25% workshops and build that wilderness also with guilds.
-* Thereafter: try to maintain 5% of your land as guilds, to generate skill points efficiently. Note that guilds don't have diminishing returns for skill point generation.
+* Even once research is completed it is generally advisable to keep some number of guilds around, typically somewhere between 5% and 20% of kingdom land, depending on mage colour, situation and how early in the set it is. The primary reason for this is skill point generation, but the item generation is also useful.
