Ugh, stranded alone down in the southern wastes on a Sulfer island I have just finished my palace. Now 28 hours of not being able to build anything before I can afford my first colony.
Could you post coordinates and what you need? Someone could send you the wood. Also, pull everyone from research to build gold faster.
edit: I checked myself. You're not 6 hours from SanderJK; hit him up for what you're missing.

I can spare anything but marble and sulfur really at the moment, Saving up for 4th town (which is going to be 2nd marble, not sulfur, I need the marble much more, and there's never any for sale anywhere near me). I can send out stuff tommorow morning, got most of action points tied up at the moment and i'm about to go to sleep.

Oh man, the guy I had been constantly pillaging last week must have given up, as he's inactive.
My spies show that he has ~4000 of each resource just sitting there, but guarded by 50 slingers, 20 swordsmen.
So I'm lookin' to expand again, but I'm in dire need of some marble. Would anyone like to trade about 500 marble for about 500 crystal (I'll have the crystal here in about 4 hours)
e: Sigh, nevermind. I don't have the trade agreement research yet anyway.
So NPAX about to break the top 50 huh? Well how do you like that. Also about NPAX, there are a couple (3) of guys with sub 1000 scores. Do you guys need some help? Are you still active?
I'm looking in your direction: Hellbunny ~500 Mr. Snack Roads ~ 700 and mattmoss ~ 600
I know Hellbunny is active; her score is low owing to relocating from across the map to NPAX central. Mr. Snack Roads and mattmoss are also both recent additions to the team. But I think we need to get them (and everyone else) up to 3 colonies as soon as possible, then start the longer walk to the 4th (and eventual 5th).
Yeah, I started pretty recently. I currently have two colonies:
Kalista, level 6, growth rate 2.3, crystal
Calisto, level 4, growth rate 1.9, marble
I'm not sure why my growth rate is low in Calisto... I did run out of wine, so I'm shipping myself some from Kalista to get that back up. I've got about 8.3K in gold, which has a slow drain on it to maintain troops, vessels, etc. But the occasional sale of crystal keeps my gold up... My few ventures in raiding have not gotten me any big gains so far.
EDIT: Okay, now I see that growth rate is 2% of your happiness level. Bring on the women, wine and song!

Formal trade agreements aren't necessary to transport goods places, but coordinates are helpful in such endeavors.

I'm on a sulfer Island. We should get some trade going on. I'll be home from work in about an hour.
Whoops, I attacked a guy with no military who was in an alliance (Bamaf, I think), and one of his fellow alliance members is shipping down to attack my handful of troops (5 phalanxes, 2 slingers, 2 ballista ships) in... 11 hours.
If I understand the mechanics correctly, it seems to me that I might as well move my troops elsewhere prior to the attack, demolish my trade port and just let him have 60 resources for his troubles. Is this correct?

You are entirely correct, yes. Thank Zeus for instantaneous knowledge of incoming enemies!

What is he shipping down? Is it such a large/powerful force that you are best to give up?
If anyone decides to ship me some stuff, I will sex them forever.
It's a long trip, but I can do it. I've got building materials, marble, and sulfur. Sending everything in one go to consolidate action points is a must - how much of each do you want?

Well if there is no blockade going up all you have to do is build 1 ram ship and leave it in the port, which you should have even if no one is attacking you.

All i need is ~500 marble. If you can supply that, I can supply some crystal here shortly.
Hmm... on the island of Rhoesios (28:29), there's a level 13 colony (Lux) w/ gold score of 1.9 million and zero military. On a sulphur island. Why he has no military, I've no idea...
But he is part of an alliance... "teh awsum" (AWE). 32 members, placed 59th... Damn, I'm so tempted to go raid there just to wage war on a shitty alliance name. My military ain't all that great, so I'm sure his alliance buddies would be all up in my face pretty quickly.

I am sending my dudes out on a 24 hour round trip. I will not be seeing that action point again until tomorrow, and I am offering you free shit because I like feeling useful.

I appreciate it, but I'd owe ya more than 500 crystal if I got more. So the marble will be fine, good sir. I promise!

But I think we need to get them (and everyone else) up to 3 colonies as soon as possible, then start the longer walk to the 4th (and eventual 5th).
And the rule is 6 attacks on each enemy town per 24h. Please don't wildly make things up.
I've got 4 towns, so you can attack me 24 times a day if you want to. More than that if my squad wipes you out (the limits are actually limits on pillaging more so than just attacking).
6 attacks per enemy TOWN? Good lord, that just opened up a bazillion more raiding targets. I had been pillaging 6 times per player.
Spy him and see if he has a port to make it worthwhile.
Spy away!
Okay, spy is in... haven't done any extra orders for him yet, to keep a low profile. This is what I see:
His gold score from the world menu (via the money script) is 1.9 million, but from within the city shows up as 32k. Not sure what that means. Zero military score either way. 10.7K total score.
L13 town hall, L5 trade port, L4 hideout (would he know I'm here without my knowing?), L6 warehouse, L1 Governor's (so not his only colony), L8 tavern, L2 trading post, L2 barracks, L1 shipyard, L1 museum, _L11_ wall.
'Course, I just sold about 800 crystal and have 32K gold myself, so maybe I should start up that 3rd colony.
Edit: Also, as to the score thing, I don't think they update to the Ikariam website that frequently, and the greasemonkey script grabs scores from there. For example, I destroyed a guy earlier with a 1200 mil score, yet his score still shows 1200 an hour later.
Rise! Blagadelphia Rise! Woot 3rd colony! Time to drown the plebes in ambrosia er wine :P
Pillaging inactives is easy money even on level 2 ports. Got a good couple of rich blokes givin me 5k a pillage and 300 resources. Max resources in colony , gold carts on ships = easy growth.

Could you post coordinates and what you need? Someone could send you the wood. Also, pull everyone from research to build gold faster.

Odd. The more I expand my taverns, the more dong my people seem to crave.

Name it "Spoon". Then every colony afterward should be "spoon" in some non-English language.
Why? Because.
6 attacks per enemy TOWN? Good lord, that just opened up a bazillion more raiding targets. I had been pillaging 6 times per player.
Edit: Also 14 slingers.
I guess 'she' bounced back from last night's gang rape then...?

Well, I decided to wait. I think I'll work towards a 3rd colony before I tangle with an alliance. :winky:
Still, it's pretty close to me, so I'm up for an assist (if need be, and if I learn how!).
Hmmm.... I told my spy to come home. He never made it. (Is that bad?)
EDIT: Need like 5K wood for my next colony... More workers!
