I am offering my services as a mercenary for hire to anyone in the 1X:4X or 2X:2X area who is in need. I am extremely good at cracking tough nuts, crushing their spirits, and driving your enemies into tears in a corner.
Payment is negotiable, but is directly related to military score, number of towns, and the need to blockade. If you supply accurate enemy troop strength, the cost will be substantially less!
I have a special this month on crushing the hopes and dreams of your enemies! I will continue to blockade and pillage your target until they deliver a short poem about why they love cats. This generally leaves the target begging for mercy, and gives you a wonderful story to read as you gloat over their domination.
*PAX takes raiding very seriously, and we are exceedingly good at it.

Can I ask you for help on attacking someone else in NPAX. Then we'll pretend you saved the day for me and drive up your business. We could even get a NPAX guy to register a name on the boards and complain at you for hitting him and we can share a piece of our cat poetry. Think of all the customers!
Just jumping in this thread to let you guys know I'll be gone next month and this month from the game due to my current Wurm addiction. Hopefully I can break it.
Going back to alliance leadership stuff, what's the chances of combining WPAX/NPAX?
If we were able to do so, we'd be the #4 alliance right now, even with dropping those inactives on our rosters. That would certainly carry some weight when we start our merc services!
Also, who is currently holding the NPAX leader account? What levels are the embassies on that account, and do you need any marble/wood to bump them up further?
That would be me, and im still trying to get settled into it, so you'll have to give me a little bit 8-). Wouldnt it be great if you could automate trading ships though? From a wine colony to other colonies every so often. Although I can see why they dont allow this.
On embassy levels, they are all about 15 or 16 in each of the 4 towns.
Try to bear with me as I get up to speed with the account 8-).

Oooh...I like! Write an anon message there asking for help against 'a large alliance in the 2X:2X area'.
We can use this as an excuse to wang YAMI, and kick off a war!

Can you give us an estimate on how much you need to get the next Palace Level? I'm sure we can all pitch in to get that going.
We should get your 5th city set up on a *PAX marble island ASAP, so you can pump out some quick embassies there.

We may or may not have an incident involving COR. Stay tuned for details!
I can set up another colony right now, but itll be a few days b4 I can get that started, the wine in my colonies dropped to 0 so im trying to get things stable again before i do anything else.
edit: it doesnt help that the wine island is 1D 2h away heh.

Slingers and Sworsmen: These units became obsolete real quick. Their only saving grace is if you have a couple hundred you can kill a few of their units before they eventually overtake you. They pretty much have to outnumber the enemy 10 to 1 to even be remotely effective, and by the time you have that many you might as well upgrade to better units. Ditch your excess slingers and swordman, and at least get some archers and phalanx.
This is even worse advice. Swordsmen are great fodder.
I've noticed a game operator has been sitting in the Beta forums for a few hours now, looks like this situation has gathered official attention, no doubt due to potential conflict of interest issues with Rise/Curious (although the latter seems to be more in the clear on that part).
Curious at least tries to be impartial.
Rise on the other hand, is a giant douche. He's horribly inept, power hungry, and basically a lousy moderator.
I'm very tempted to hit him a few times, but I don't want to start a major conflict.
Curious spams up almost every thread he/she/it can find warning other posters about 'spamming' when they veer even slightly off topic. Add the nauseating font color he/she/it uses, and my nerd rage starts to boil over. Useless as tits on a bull, as Old Man Anti-Sean used to say.
49:21 JoyTown. 132k gold a hit. Level 4 port/Wine colony. 65 ram ships and 16 archers.
Anyone want to help? Mind you he does have an army of 125 Archers 1 town over. I still want to sink those ships. If we do this I want to coordinate an attack on his other town so we can destroy all those archers because they're gunning for me. So we time our attacks to land together. I can send 80 Swordsmen, 20 archers, 5 gyrocopters, 12 gunsmen, and cook/doctor combo. Your payment for helping me do this is two undefended/lightly defended citys from a 4mil gold account with 100+k each pillage.
I will clear the majority of the boats at JoyTown if you help me kill ~125 Archers @ 50:22 Level 1 shipyard and no Navy as of last report, level 7 barracks, 160% town wall bonus. Any takers? This is basically a merc mission, but for the good of the whole alliance! Or something.

My nearest army is about 5.5 hours away and it is devoted to starting trouble with AOOC. It is a fat target though

4 hr pillage for me. I could have enough forces to bust the archers tommorow. Long blockade ride though.
Don't worry about any ships. I've pillaged this guy like 15 times before he built like 60 Archers one day and I left him alone. But he has never build new ships. If you can send out your 4 hour attack sometime in the day tomorrow I'll send out my 2 hour pillage and we will hit together. For this I will send 2 wave of ships on a 1 hour blockade timer at JoyTown opening hopefully all the ships out to allow you to attack it without worrying about the blockade.

K, I'll update in the morning.
64 ram ships prolly need 3 or 4 waves to clear though.
I'll join in; I've got my main wanging town 4 hours away, and it demands loot!
...
Okay, never mind. My "main wanging town" seems to have been neglected lately, because it only has a few paltry slingers and swordmen left. Also: I'm out of sulfur to rebuild my army.
Burtletoy, I don't suppose you could spare some sulfur for Point Artal 43:11? If so, I can build up my army overnight and join in the attack tomorrow.
EDIT: Also, level 20 city, bay-be! Now I just have to catch up with the other 4.
I've currently got 67 sulfur, so any amount would be good. I'll take the full lot if you can spare it. Just let me know when it's up for trade and I'll grab it. 16 archers isn't going to take that many troops to demolish, but I can build up my fleet with the rest and help out there.
EDIT: Of course, those 125 archers might be a bit harder. But hey, another excuse to build more steam giants!
Actually I forgot I had a town closer. It is 4 hours away from your target. It doesn't have much of an army but 40 swordsmen has to be useful for something right?

2100 sulfur headed your way. Also this guy has atleast one more city nearby. Maybe more. His military score in 107556 of which only 11,520 is not in these two towns.

Cheers! Finally I'm heading into more trouble than I can handle! I thought I was going to go this whole game only wanging small-fry who knew better than to retaliate!
I feel like I'm supposed to be useful on forums, so I feel like I should make a guide that doesn't suck balls.
Then I remember my goal is to slaughter these people and I change my mind.

Do you want more sulfur? I have about 10000 more units than i can use.
No wonder the big alliances suck so bad if this is what they believe:
Doctors: Doctors sole purpose is to keep you from potentially losing troops. However, they are only half as effective on machines. They cost a ton to keep around, and they don't save you much in battle; but the biggest problem is they die really easy. Doctors only have a defense of 28, so If you go up against anything greater than swordmen and phalanxes they will die first or second round thus saving no troops. Once people started getting archers and better, doctors became useless. There is no reason to keep any of these around.
>
Cooks: Cooks sole purpose is to keep stamina up for long battles. The problem with cooks is similar to doctors. They cost a lot and they have only 26 defense so they die almost instantly thus they don't keep up stamina. There is no reason to keep any of these around.

Oops.
