Heh so a guy I pillaged awhile ago built up a pretty big military and just sent it to my capital while I was offline. I don't think he is very bright tho since his first 68 units had no ships and thus got turned back by my fleet of 10 ships. There are another 168 units heading my way but I don't think they include ships either.
Yoouuuu''rreeee fucked.
Actually, I have nothing else to say.
Quite possible. On the other hand I killed my level 1 trade port so even if he lands troops its not like he will get anything.
UPDATE: Nope he didn't send any ships so all his 200+ people got turned back without a fight.
"Hey guys, this dude hacks. He's invulnerable, I can't get any of my units into his city! I sent over 200!"
Both of his cities he sent people from are on PA islands. Mazon zero and mazon 1st. I raided both of em then he built up a 17k military score to get back at me
Oh it's Mazon? I've been eyeing him... If he's being a wang i'll wang him for you. My 100k military has nothing else planned. What is it? 200 slingers?

honestly i have no clue. I didn't get to see his army since it never got a chance to land. I just sent spys to both his cities to see if I want to attack him back.
If you send out guys to pillage and your harbor gets blockaded during that time. What happens to your guys when they return? Will your troops end up in limbo or will they get through the blockade and return to barracks?
Among many other wonderful things, this script gives you a new military report, with a sortable Loot table and a calculation of the number of times you have hit each target within the last 24 hours. Highly recommended.
I've been trying to get that script working for two days, and no dice for me
I wonder what retardedly simple thing I'm doing wrong...
...except, instead of using the island to attack me quicker, he's attacking me from an island at a distance. 55 units are on their way, but I've got Ballista ships waiting. Just to be safe, I built a Ram Ship that'll be finished minutes before he arrives.
Ah crap, I spy'd out Manzon's garrison and he only had 9 slingers, but I guess during the time it took my guys to get there his 200 slingers came back and my archers died.

This is a first for me, a preemptive plea to not attack:
hello. i am just wondering if u and captaink, a member in your alliance, and you are planning an attack on my town of ironforge. captaink has recently moved to this island and i have had a small conflict with him. so i would appreciate it if u WERE planning an attack, i would vety much like to hav a military treaty with you and captaink.
your island mate,
bboy95
o_O
Well, I wasn't planning on attacking him, but now he has made me aware that
1) His grammar/spelling is atrocious, and he must be reeducated...under duress
2) His city is named Ironforge, and therefore deserves to be raped
3) He's a giant pussy
Well, WPAX...want to have a bit of fun?

I love signing on to a bunch of messages from people whining about being pillaged, it just warms the cockles of my blackened heart.
Amleto from the alliance Order of Light sends the following message: One of your members attacked my colony Amletia and it was without me doing anything. Please note that I am messaging my alliance leader and general to ask for whatever he has pillaged from my town. I have never attacked anyone in your alliance and I will be not be attacked randomly. Please respond promptly this was my trade town and there was no defense there. So, either he had a spy in my town or he is just a lucky guesser. I await your reply
Cheodo from the alliance Order of Light sends the following message: Hey, one of your members, TurtleBoy, attacked one of our members without any provocation. Could you ask why so we can assure our player that it will not happen again?
reapersboy from the alliance Order of Light sends the following message: Ok i'll make this short and sweet i would like it if Turtleboy wouldnt attack one of my members I believe in keeping the peace and wouldnt like to have war break out. I'm askin may turtleboy send back the items he had pillage and everybody go on there merry way. =] plz get back to me soon as possible
Alright look, I got messages from three separate people in your alliance, which by your stats is half of the dang alliance. Please work out which one of you is in charge of diplomacy with a foreign alliance and get back to me, I'm not going to write the same message three to six times.
Sidenote: Because they have messaged me, I have the coordinates of at least one of each of their towns now, anyone down for some wanging?
Naturally, once they work out who is in charge over there, I'm going to tell them that they can fuck off, since pillaging is a major part of the game. I think we can take a six person alliance anyways.

Pro-tip: If combat lasts for more than one round, you can keep building units to bolster your forces.
hahaha that's brilliant. Hopefully they pick a fourth, completely new player as their diplomat.
And I wish you could do more to other players. When I make an enemy I want to do a little damage, not just take some goods where they'd earn more than I grabbed overnight. There is plenty of carebear friendly game mechanics and even then they've shackled it to solo use, as there are few bonuses to being in an alliance and the ones in place affect only hostile actions.

I attacked him once before - he replied with "wat r u attackin me for" and it went without retaliation. Today, just for kicks and grins, I raided him again, making off with over 1k gold/wood/marble and 800 wine and 400 sulfur.
His armies (from -sigh- Sparta) are en route.
I'm not sure if this battle will go multiple rounds, though. I have the multitude of Ballista set and waiting, as well as a ram ship in the harbor - he has made no attempt to blockade, but should he make land at Holt, I have 20 Phalanxes set right now, and another 15 swordsmen returning from raiding this guy's colony on 25:17. He decided to retaliate from another colony/possibly his capital, and I'm... dare I say it... feeling saucy.
This is what I taunted him with:
I am uncertain of what you wish to accomplish with your retaliatory raid, sir.
As our last battle was rather one sided with no retaliation, I have nothing but doubts as to the preparedness of your army - and what sick manner of man sends babies to fight his wars? You accomplish nothing other than sending men to their deaths; widowing wives, orphaning children. Your men shall perish for your folly.
This^. Grids, my General. While the upkeep is sure to be mildly painful, groveling makes my people absolutely unhinged.
12:41 Ironforge. Also has colony at 12:40 Kharanos. I gave him 24 hours to donate at least 1000 wood to the crystal mine or he will face dire consequences.
I fully intend to wang him after he has made said deposit!
For the kronos utility, from the first page of that discussion there is a link to an older version of it; that might work better for some people.
My understanding is that it was the "building queue" feature which would be unapproved for use in ikariam, and as far as I can tell that is not implemented in the script at this time.
For the newest version, it says it requires you to have the latest version of greasemonkey installed, so try upgrading that, deleting kronos entirely, then installing it. I had to play around with it a bit, but I'm running that and the player info (military and gold scores) scripts, along with the friend-finder, with them all working well together.
Any WPAXers (or anyone looking to relocate over here) looking to get in on the awesome wine island (14:41), TWO SPOTS just opened up.
L10 vineyard, L14 saw mill!
Finally got enough wood together to get a wine colony. My troubles are over forever. In eight hours, atleast. Also: To the people I owe things for the wine, just send me a message with your location and I'll get what I owe you ASAP.
Ah crap, I spy'd out Manzon's garrison and he only had 9 slingers, but I guess during the time it took my guys to get there his 200 slingers came back and my archers died.

Solysp, count me in for whatever military action you're planning. I'll help bring the doom down on that alliance of 6.
Sure, waiting to hear back from them still.
Oh by the way, can someone write up a thing about how to join alliances and add it to the FAQ, I'm really tired of getting messages from people asking to get into NPAX, because if I, the Diplomat/Leader gets a message, and Darian, the Interior Secretary does not, there isn't anything I can do.
Arbitage is the bee's knees! I'm buying marble from some jackass below cost and selling it for 10X the price. This game is really an economist dreamworld...so much for people being rational actors though....

Why buy what you can take? Scan the market for huge sales and pillage those fat cats!

I'm still only three days into this. And four hours from my palace...then its off to colonize the beautiful Sulfur Isles, where the sky is blue, the sea is too...and everything smells like rotten eggs.

My response:
You probably ought to keep your day job, since you really are quite horrible at amateur psychology! It's a bit ironic that if YOU hadn't messaged me first (begging me not to attack), your tiny speck of a city wouldn't even be on my radar.
But, alas...your persistent pestering has focused my attention upon you!
So, the 24 hours notice stands...what you do with it is entirely up to you...
Have a wondrous evening!

There is a link in the Alliance section of the OP that explains (with pictures!) how to join an alliance. People are just fucking stupid.

Ah, well consider this a heads up to anyone wondering why their application is taking so long to process (not naming names here or anything, but there are a couple of you), check the OP, and make sure you applied correctly. If in doubt apply again in the correct manner to make sure. There are 4 open slots currently (two more on the way), so it's not like we're waiting on openings.

I would love to join in on that, but, sadly, I am in the process of attempting to rebuild after relocating.... If only I had the military on Beta that I do on Gamma.
Hahaha, Darian, that's awesome. :P I reckon anyone who asks how to join the alliance or gets it wrong should get permabanned from the alliance at that point. :P

Ram ships must be super fast if a single one can ram and sink all the cargo ships you'd need for a 200+ army.
Oh it's Mazon? I've been eyeing him... If he's being a wang i'll wang him for you. My 100k military has nothing else planned. What is it? 200 slingers?
