decided to stick my wine colony next to my island instead. I see no reason to move an important colony to the SRF islands, ill stick one there later for trade purposes. if i need stuff urgently from the alliance im only 15hrs away from the islands, so its not such a big issue

I thought we were supposed to be pretty much all in the srf islands, otherwise I might have made my marble island somewhere else.

right, but i want my wine colony to be able to provide wine to my large capital, a 15hr route is gonna make that a bit hard.

ill stick my sulfur colony down by SRF so that i always have a place near the others. i just see more advantages right now my colony being next door rather than half a day

it isn't hard. My first colony (former capital) is 14h away and produces crystal. Logistics planning
Trice is just a noob :>

Is it actually possible to move city's?

Well, actually not move but abandon, you can destroy all your buildings, except for the town hall, make soldiers from your citizens so as to prevent them from leaving then deploy them to your new colony and fire them to turn them back into citizens...this would be very expensive though on the upkeep...also ship all your resources to the new colony...

BTW, my original town is quite far from the SRF marble isle as it takes about 22 hours to ship resources...hehe...but i still decided to keep it...

On another note, I did a cultural treaty with mahumps and will upgrade my museum to accommodate other treaties so look out for some random invites from me...

[Priam]

Meh too much of a hassle. I'll just put my new colony there.

Trice is just a noob :>

i dont need to plan logistics if my colony is next door

also, if my trade ship isnt out of action for 30hrs, that means i have an extra action point, all the more to pillage with :>

1 phalanx pillaging ftw.

[takolin]

If anyone is interest in a cultural treaty, just ask me.
I got 3 spaces left and Draq and vang don't respond.

[fena]

I'm making a list here of all the places that I'm pillaging. The places that I've been pillaging are running out of resources. This is for me and I'm going to keep editing it. It's just a place for me to store it. Anybody else is welcome to use this list if they want, though. Below I listed their Generals number and their Gold Stock number.

mmmmm what r you pillagin with, eg troops.

[fena]

mmmmm what r you pillagin with, eg troops.

Anything with a 0 under Generals, I just send one phalanx to.
Everything else depends. I just colonized two more islands today, so I'm going to focus on building those up first before doing anything else.

[Priam]

two more?

sjees.

takes so many resources :S

im struggling to get them for my 3rd island.

[fena]

Well, my palace is only level two, meaning I have my capital & two colonies.
And if you want resources, go pillage inactives. If you pillage the right guys, you'll have so many resources that you literally can't store them anymore. It outraces how fast you can upgrade your warehouse.


Hey Dango,
you got anymore space in that alliance of yours? I want to join tomorrow when I get my embassy up. I'm finally researching that.

[Priam]

ofc, theres only like 6 members.

I would pillage everyone, but i havent got any sulfur to get some nifty phalanxes.

[fena]

Find people with 0 generals. Then just send some slingers over and pillage their town. You don't need any phalanxes or swordsmen. If they have 0 generals, then phalanxes are guaranteed to survive. Meaning, you can pillage an entire town with 2M gold with just one phalanx. On the other hand, if you send slingers, even if they have zero soldiers, their Town Wall could end up killing a few of your slingers, lol.

And yeah, sulfur's a bit of a problem for me as well. I don't have any. Luckily, I started out on a sulfur island.

[Priam]

to see if they have 0 generals. That would require a spy right?

which requires crystals.

which i also suck at ;p

No. Go to high scores at the top. Click on Generals. Click on submit. Type in their name.
It gets tricky when they have more than one city, since the Generals score is cumulative between all their cities. They could have it all bunched up coincidentally in the one city that you're attacking, or spread out between all of them.
That's when a spy is useful.

But if they have 0, that means that they have zero troops, so whatever. Go kill them.

[Priam]

mmmm

that opens up new options ;p

Almost got 10k wood and got more then enough marble to upgrade my palace, and 1 governer's residence.

So, then we'll find some sulfur island.

[Trice]

yeah, ive been doin the same as fena, but the places im pillaging are giving 10k-30k gold, but never more than 400 resources, which is a little annoying. still, at least im getting lots of boats :>

[mahumps]

Hey guys our marble island is full but our mill is only lvl 7. We need to donate more, it's our island and we're the only one who will benefit from it. Honestly I'm having a hard time leveling my buildings because my wood can't keep up. As much as I want to donate more, I can't because I'm having a hard to passing 1000 units. Please we need more donations. Thanks to draquish and the other guys for giving more, but we need all the members to donate. This is not a one man game, we need to act like a team if we want our cities to level.

BTW that other guy from the wine island. His pretty nice he gave me free wine when I asked him if I can buy some. And if someone here is trying to attack their union, it wouldn't be a good idea. Coz I just found some of his cities and allies. They got lots of cities above level 10. And I discovered they also have a great army. lol

[Squirt]

Those places are to far.. you think you can find me a place that is near the 92 -- coords? Or something that is like hour radius from srf island?

[mahumps]

An hour radius is only 2 islands away from you. It's not really far and I don't think there is one close to srf Island. My first colony(former capital) is 1d 9h away from SRF island. I don't level it anymore I'm just using the town to make more gold and research.

[Draquish]

SrF island's lvl 8 Saw Mill on the way.

[Squirt]

Srf marble island is full =/

[Draquish]

Srf marble island is full =/

Wrong; one spot left.

[Squirt]

well i hope by the time my palace is lvl 2 the spot is still there for me i just need 3k wood =/

[mahumps]

There's a close marble island and only 2 people there and all lvl 1.

[XuChu]

need marble
willing to trade 1:1 with crystal
send me the marble(<1000) and I will send u crystal first thing in the morning

[MrBow]

[Squirt]

Definition of screwed -.-

[greeneye]

Definition of screwed -.-

uhmm, you know if imma not mistaken those are your own units coming back from their pillages...yeah, it is a bit confusing, but for one reason or another that part was lost in translation somewhere and the game devs translated your units return to your town as an "attack". try to double check this...^^
