    I plan on sending out my SGs. I figure they'll be in town fairly often. Either: a)They spy my garrison with SGs away, and don't account for them or the rest of my invasion force (gun and swordsmen) when attacking me. Or b) they do see them, and run away in fear.

    What we should do is each take one of the 5 cities and time it so blockades all hit about the same time.

    Yeah, as juicy as he is, I'm 19 hours away pillage time...In the time it would take to send a blockade, he could make 50 ballista ships. D:

    Well, there IS an open spot on that island...you could start a L1 town there purely for the purpose of staging a massive attack on him.

    Deploy a shitload of troops there, wang him overland, and then rapidly transship all the goods to your capital. You'd need a largish warehouse and a large port, but I'm sure it'd be worth it! Dismantle the town after a day of most excellent wanging...

    I said "fuck it" and started wanging this U_N softie for 200k+ per trip. Not much in the way of resources, unfortunately. I've taken nearly a million so far.

    This "neshmet" is 6 hours (troop time) from me. Looks like an alt account if he has all his cities on a marble island.

    I'm trying, actually... Though at the moment he's sending 219 units over to pillage, and he sent almost just as many yesterday... and the day before that. I'm kinda new to this game, and currently looking for a new alliance.

    At 55:33, nahtanoj of the city JONATHAN sends exactly 66 units every time I attack his identically named city that is eighteen hours away from 55:33. This is fine, as his troops get turned back every time by the resident fleet, but I'm tired of my General getting the red background. If someone nearby would like to wang him, he gives 44,700 gold a pop.

    How...clever :|

    In other buggy news, it took about 40 minutes for my dock to start loading up my trade ships with goods that I need to ship to one of my colonies. Then another 40 minutes to actually load and ship off.

    Anyone else having lag time from initiating commands to them actually starting? Hopefully it was just a random occurrence.

    EDIT: I tried sending out trade ships two more times, and while the first time, it lagged for 10 min before loading, the second time it started loading right away. Guess it's just being flaky.

    Jaydawgg, a guy I got into a little war with awhile back, has sent 91 units and 119 ram ships at my capital.

    Like always, the rams will arrive hours after the troops. I've shuffled units to the capital and I'm going to crush him. Last time he took out my navy, but now I have a bunch of catapults :)

    Interesting stuff:

    Honor (a WPAX local alliance, quite large) sent me some messages.
    3XAS from the alliance Society ofHonor sends the following message: Not to long ago we received the following message I was just wondering did u received for this player some sort of message too ?


    Society of Honor,



    There is a great tryrant let loose in my lands. I am a peaceful nord of the north and had no such interest like many of my bretheren kin. My self and many other players have come under attack by this "warlord" a modern terrorist.



    He sends scouts to promising looking towns and sends you an invitation to join his empire. If you do he promises protection (a strange sign for a tyrant) but if you refuse him he will attack your towns every day to teach you a lesson.



    We are to pay him taxes weekly in the form of valuable resources or we are punished and pillaged. I have been recruited as a diplomat for Kahryl. I do some smooth talking for him to wim over other players that are right to be warry. This keeps me from having to pay taxes but entraps others.



    Myself and the others he has enslaved do not know who he has enslaved, keeping us blind from eachother so that we dont unite and revolt on him. I have an advantage being his diplomat in that he has to trust me to an extent to talk freely for him, and that it doesn't matter who i am talking to when his spies report back to him. However I have made contact with a few members of the enslaved, we are planning a revolt as soon as the opportunity comes to be.



    Please sirs, this is a man that has no reguard for the lives and happiness of the other players. We need help. I have reason to believe that his army is somewhere between 500 to 1500 in total. You are the largest alliance i could find and with a name like Society of Honor I thought you woul.d be up to taking down a tyrantial megalomaniac...



    Please let me know what you can do to help, if you need anything let me know and i will see if i can help.



    Thank you for your time. I await your reply eagerly,


    -Onager9933 sends the following message: onager9933

    I asked for coordinates to do some investigating.
    The guy who asked for help is Player: onager993 from town Onager Sulfur 1:55 the warlord is Kahryl he is based at 1:60 2:59 2:60 but plz be don't make contact with kahyrl yet about this ,because if we will attack kahryl we want to make a surprise attack, we are trying to find out is Kahryl really a warlord or just a guy that pissed off onager993.If kahryl is really a warlord we will stop him however we want to make a low profile at the moment until we find out if this is not a scam.

    Guy's got a 300k military score, and he's way out there, at least compared to me. An opportunity to wang an even bigger bully than we are?
