    oh

    huh.

    Then how'd I send out so many to start with? I sent out like 33 in one day.

    EDIT: er, nevermind I think I just answered my own question.

    So how do you all get so many treaties?

    No. YAMI doesn't even complain when you hit them. The CenCi alliance near by lots of YAMI guys, they try to get mad. But then realise my army is theirs all combined into one and they forget their vengeance. But, YAMI? Feel free.

    As long as noone has accepted your request yet you can keep sending.

    You have 20 dongs and 21 slots. You can send requests. You send out 30 requests. One dude accepts. You have 21 dongs and 21 slots. You can do nothing (send or recieve). One more dude accepts (out of that 30 you sent). You now have 22 dongs and 21 slots. You can now receive but still can not send. 15 more people accepts (out of the 30 you sent out). You now have 36 dongs, 21 slots, and can still only recieve.

    I thought if I had extra dongs and had free space in my museums for dongs I could send out requests to my hearts content?

    EDIT: I should say, I thought that if you had more treaties than you had space for, and space in your museum, the "limit" was gone.

    EDIT2: I mean, it'd have to be. That's how I got so many treaties in the first place.

    Naw. You can spam out new treaties when you upgrade your museum. Whenever someone accepts one of your treaties you can't send out new requests.

    It does say you don't have enough diplomatic points when you try to send out new requests and don't have the required museum space. I thought it was a bug at first, but it has happened several times. I think they just have a standard error message for all the treaty types.

    Edit: Oh well not quick enough for skarsol!

    My sixth attack on TuTonni is going on right now, so I can't ding him anymore. But please, feel free to steal all that cash he's not using. TuTonni is located on Sipaos[25:29]. He is not inactive (though, not online at the moment), no ships and no military -- I took care of what little he had.

    So, if I'm not on your treaty list could you try to send me one? I've gone through the people I don't have treaties with twice in the past week and I just can't seem to send out anymore. There's just not an option for it in the message window.

    Sorry, The Dude, I'm now full up on dongs and cannot send out any more.

    Trying to send spies right now. He also has one city on my island. Prolly attacked me cause I donated a shitload to the island resources. What a wanker! No response from him or the U_N diplomat. There is no battle report. He may have canceled.

    He still needs to be wanged!

    Ok so any new spies I sent are bugged out upon reaching the target city. Meaning I can't click the city from the hideout screen. However, if you click on the town on the island view you can see the city. I never tried that before. I suppose someone else has already tried this?

    And now I can click them in the hideout menu.... wtf! Has anyone else had this spy lag?

    If you can generate more resources from military actions than you are spending, then it's profitable. You should be able to keep large armies functioning, plus still expand and upgrade your cities.
