I found myself in a nasty little catch 22. I sold off all my buildings then sold all my stone and steel. Then, I learned that a player must have 75k in fixed assets to buy from the market or 80k to buy on contract. Since I didn't have the fixed assets, I couldn't buy the materials to build any.
Lesson learned: DONT DO THIS.
hehehe
Now, I just have to wait to reset my account.
Im such a noob.
