After spending a week fortifying my base with walls, troops and support buildings I'm ready to start pushing my resources past 5 and onto the 10 range.

So, it seems the recent Teutonic influx of Allies has revealed the benefit of raiding as a means of growing one's village (As if that wasn't obvious to anyone who's been raided) Have you considered this tact yourself? Perhaps, a nearby Teuton Village can scout out potential Villages that you could then raid for an inflation of resources for building.

I will not become Len.

No. Not him.

Anyone want a wheat loan? I've got loads at the moment, but am afraid I'll lose it in the pre-ceasefire raiding (not enough of anything else to up my crannies). If you can use it I'll send you up to 800, and you could send it back sometime in jan?
 
 
Mr Tricks
18:12 / 30.12.07
That Wheat influx would allow Tricks Village to build a Flour Mill. I would be happy to then send wheat back to you as you need it.

Triplets, just a suggestion; its a method I'm only now dabbling with. A scout could help you find an abandoned city as well.

800 wheat on its way.

On a brighter note, the village of Seireitei has been established at -41 -50 and is growing quickly! Once the resource production and defense are in order, I'll be looking to build a noteworthy offensive army that can help with our future conflicts.

Raiding inactive or pseudo-active players is much easier to do with scouts - if a village has their maximum amount of resources just sitting around, you might as well take some and let them produce more for you.

What do I need to build scouts?

And sort it out, Quantum. Sort it out!

depending on which group you are you'll need barracks, a workshop and to have researched which force are scouts for your group (for roman's you'll also need a stable as it's one of the equitis groups).

A good thing to note, again this is for roman groups, so may need to research for others, is if you get 5 on wheat, build a flour mill to boost wheat production, then aim for a 10 on one each of all resources and build a saw mill, iron works, brick works and bakery - this gives an incredible boost to your resources.

Also, this Build Guide has been quite useful. It seems Teutons can get their scouts out quickly.

First raid. D'awwww. Joshlad attacked me and got away with quite a bit. Retaliation welcome, especially if it comes in the form of total devastation; I'm rebuilding my troops currently.

17:05 / 01.01.08
Where's Joshlad?
 
 
ORA ORA ORA ORAAAA!!

I just got raided too, by a guy called monster. if he's only got the troops he had left when he finished raiding me, I can handle him myself, but if you guys want to kill him dead, that would be entertaining. (-3|-59)

I've sent a small strike force. Nothing major though, just a team of 5. Need to build my army up a bit more this week I think.
 
 
ORA ORA ORA ORAAAA!!
00:23 / 02.01.08
ok, apparently the guy's account was hacked. Apparently. I've attacked him once to prove my dominance and now it's all over. Their alliance is kind of defensive about it.

never mind!

(Free them with a normal attack) Happy New Year everyone!

Attack news- LAFE is attacking lolli-puppy and therefore us, from the LOG-TNO alliance (league of gentlemen-the new order) so they are fair game.
If someone attacks you, message them and see what they're like and if they'll stop just by you asking, then tell them you're a hard target and message all local BBC members for help & tell me.

Everyone needs a bigger army! At the moment we are puny, you should have an attacking force of at least 20 to make any difference, and we'll be involved in an alliance war soon when we'll need all the troops we can get. Eventually we want to be in a position to take on Len's alliance, so build up your military people! Let's not be victims.

Wing news- *AHF*III are going to become AHF-BBC or similar. They have 27 members (w00t!) and mean that we will be allied with AHF and their wings.
We need a wing for n00bs. I'm getting three or four requests a day to join BBC and it's too expensive to accept, can someone get a level 3 embassy up and running and start BBC1? Then I can refer the littluns to you and it will grow real quick.

I have a level 3 embassy.

Ombwiri and I (Indy in the north east) are focussing on training settlers to establish a wheat intensive village nearby.. but it'll take me a week to save up the resources for the settlers!

If anyone can spare any resources it'll be a huge help! Will be able to return the favour with many troops for the cause in the future

300 iron and 200 wheat beating a very slow path to your door.

How is it that Crowley got booted from the Alliance Magician role? Curious about that.

I'm also a bit lost on who's attacking whom and where wings are starting. Should we develop a map similar to the one used for our Alliance to pin-point what villages are closest to which agressor?

Meanwhile Tricks village has a flour mill, but upgrading the wheat fields is slow going.

if I attack him again, I'll end up at war with his alliance (DBA - seems like a bad idea).

I've asked him to send them back, but no dice so far. I might just disband them, I guess.

I've got a level 9 residence at the moment, but getting 5k+ wood together at one time, and 4k clay, is proving too difficult.

I've made one settler, two to go!

RFR - Settlers are VERY expensive. You may want to consider improving your resource production first. I'm just sticking to the plan because I'm stubborn and paranoid someone else is going to get there first.

There's, well, there's someone called super ted (-48|-61) farming me for about 2000 resources a go at the moment. I'd like to say I'm mostly worried about the pillaging but being molested by one of my childhood loves is, frankly, disconcerting.

Imagine if Michael Knight started wandering towards you, leering, his intentions painfully clear.

Hello all. I've finally given into temptation and joined up. I'm on server 4, at 57 105 in the imaginatively named mkt village. Am just getting used to it for now, but happy to contribute to the noble cause once I've got into the swing.

Wow, you're in a desolate bit of countryside arent you? If you start building fields and suchlike quick, I think you have a pretty good chance of taking over some of those prime real-estate oases.

Can anyone give me a quick loan of a couple of hundred grain? My village upkeep is swallowing what I have and I'm only making 14 an hour at the moment.

En route! Should be with you in eight hours or so.

Cheers! I think I need to focus on my fields more than I do getting an army up and about - things are pretty quiet in my neck of the woods.
