It seems that after the drubbing his forces received yesterday, our friend The Captain has decided to put his energy towards producing...slingers.
Lots of them.
Which isn't surprising, considering the only resources his city has are wood and wine.
Oh well, I'm going to be away most of today, so I cannot press the attack. Tomorrow I will go ahead and finish his slingers. Today, I raid for resources. Those level four mansions aren't going to build themselves, you know.
Our friend The Captain wants to throw in the towel (and his alliance) and pleads that we cease the wanging.

So, you have proved that your alliance can keep pillaging me over and over, but now that I see that no one listens to me, and actually build a military, so I seem to be doing this fight solo. So I apologize for attacking you, I withdrew my troops, and would appreciate if you would get your alliance to stop. So you can do what you want with Zac, he isn't getting anymore help from me, he can fight his own battles. So you have defeated me, now will you except this, and stop this.

I was thinking of demanding cat poems from their entire alliance :O

Darian from Dariapolis has won the sea battle and blocks the port of D-ville.
The upgrade bug should be fixed in v. 0.2.3, which was to be implemented last week. But it is for both attackers and defenders.
No ETA on governor.
Edit: Found out why 0.2.3 hasn't been implemented. Apparently, the update no longer lets phalanxes or steam giants receive the benefit of a wall on defense, turning the best defensive units into the worst. See http://board.ikariam.org/thread.php?threadid=30876
I'm looking for a marble colony more towards the center. I want to be in range of some new raiding targets.
50:50 has an open spot!
...I was considering 51:51 the other week, but I think it's just too far from anyone else to adequately defend. Plus, it's something like 13 hours from WPAX...but all those places are nicely built up iirc.
Do you have anything up in NPAX core area? 27:23 has an inactive that should poof pretty soon, and that island is nicely built up.
Cracking the top 1000 list for the first time are Gargamel, DasScoot and tomblag. Karenna's research-induced jump has lifted him into the number two position, while Skarsol is the first to break 40k and is probably at most a day away from breaking into the top 100.
We now have a total of 11 people in the top 1000. Congrats to all.
Well, the D-ville saga continues. Kalkino took down most of the ships at D-ville itself, but the guy regrouped.
Fortunately, his spy was captured:
We have discovered a spy! The spy talks and talks and reveals everything about his employer:
Home town: D-ville
Gold in town: 218426
Building material in town: 2703
Wine in town: 850
Marble in town: 3218
Crystal glass in town: 2901
Sulfur in town: 24
40 Slinger25 Swordsman25 Phalanx1 Catapult1 Cook1 Doctor20 Archer21 Flamethrower
We have "retired" this spy, to prevent him from giving away any more information.
The lack of sulfur means he cannot make any more than he already has queued up; but that's a lot of flamethrowers to bust. I'll be working on them, next.

I'd like to thank all my neighbors for contributing so mightily to my building fund.
I guess research points are added to your total points when the research is completed...
This explains why I had been steadily falling back a couple of places on the highscore list over the last two weeks. Then between breakfast and now: BAM! +4000 score, and I jumped from #250 to #173.
Fucking steam giants, baby, yeah.
The guy who wanted war has received it in a magnitude he just couldn't stomach, I nicked away so much stuff from his colonies that he is either too furious to launch another attack or he figured my well defended town would only cost him more stuff.
I took a gamble by blockading one of his colonies, but in the last half hour it intercepted 10 ships full of wood and sulphur.
Does anyone know if the Build Queue tools in Kronos Utils actually work? I tried it out the other day... queued up some building upgrades and went out (with the laptop left on at the Show Town screen). When I came back the queue had shortened but the upgrades that should have been build didn't seem to have been done and neither had resources been spent.
I have that nagging suspicion that Gameforge tries to break down Kronos Utils, it's really not in their best interests if people don't have to look at their website as often as possible.
Also, for those interested in a relatively fat target:

Ok, I have awoken, what is the deal with Dville or associated cities? I have land forces ready to go in the area. Not sea fores though, although I managed to rebuild a defence fleet overnight

Instead of responding to "Why r u attkng me?" messages, I send this:
he leaps from shadow dark as soot
through fetid air to bite my foot
then runs across the barren floor
a tainted, evil carnivore
he lays there in the noon sun's gleam
ensuring that each claw is clean
what sin of mine do I now pay
to live in feline fear each day?
now from my bed I dare not leave
I know the creature waits beneath
to slash with feral undead speed
and rend my ankles til they bleed
I curse you spawn of hell with tail
and pray for peace to no avail
Last night, I got the following response:
>All I did was ask a simple question.
DO u have a problem with cats or somthing??

So just in case anyone of the Dville Express is reading this is what is currently happening.
1) I have one fleet incoming from Socks to hit Dville, then I'll send a reinforcing fleet from Buttons. ETA about 17.22 server time. I need to do it this way as Socks has more ships of the right kind. Buttons will merely supply numbers. There should be about 20 all up, vs. him having maybe 10 if he is lucky by that stage. I've never sent two fleets from different locations to the same target, so let us hope they don't fight.
2) I will send in land forces at about 17.30. They should take 40 minutes to get there - so 18.10 ST - which will hopefully be enough time to end the fleet battle. I will send about 100 or so units. Anyone else is welcome to send them in as well.
victoly! My second blockade is on it's way to his city though pillaging is a mere 4 hours away
Can we at least get a cat poem from him
Do it!
This exercise was a good experience in coordinated attacks. Get some cat poems and we'll call it a day.
I received 1 cat poem from our friend The Captain. Not really a poem...

The day goes on, the night enters, they arise from the place, they creep, lurk waiting to pounce on their prey. The wonder as loners, hunting, feeding from whatever moves. The hunters of houses, the eliminator of pests. They are a persons friend, a mouses enemy, so the night ends, they go to sleep, return to the house, and are as friendly as pets.
Thats the best your getting, I don't do rhyme schemes, since3 they are annoying as hell, so, I would greatly appreciate if you stop pillaging me, I'm not good at poems, so yeah.

Thoughts? It seems like we're really inconveniencing him? We're not being very thoughtful, perhaps if we continue to pillage him, it'll get his creative juices flowing?

I am already excited!

If you can get even 3 you would be our new king

But if you had to blockade him to remove the fleet, that counts as one of the attacks. Er, which you said.
So, dead on.
If they've got 6 cities, you can attack 36 times a day, spread appropriately.
Fantastic!
10k at a time.

My marble colony is on [53:62], level 14 quarry and sawmill. It's an Ares island, though.
[55:60] has one open spot, and it has a Temple of Gaia. Page source reveals that both resources are level 12 there.

I just set up a wine colony in your area I would trade you wine for crystal or sulfur.
You're going to want most of that wine yourself soon enough. Wine and marble are much more important to your growth than marble and sulphur.

YOU ARE CONFUSING YOURSELF!
Marble->Wine->Crystal->Sulfur->Marble->Wine
You can probably omit the sulfur if you don't want to pillage, but that's boring.
