For anyone in the Northern reaches (I'm located at 2x-4x:1x-4x), I have large amounts of wine and sulfur available, and Skarsol has large quantities of crystal. Hit us up in game to arrange trades.
Heh, I just did a massive series of Academy upgrades, but I'm about to pillage a guy with 13k+ crystal, so I should have more.
That guy I attacked last night has retaliated, looks like he emptied his cities:

Your are correct. I don't understand how people can make this mistake so often.

Three guys ganged up on me yesterday. The one blockade showed up last. I even sent a message to the guy with the ships that he was doing it wrong...

FYI, I've been pillaging Akira's city Ashelia @ 25:21 for gold (nearly 16K per hit)
He's been gone for nearly 2 weeks now, and the city is going to poof in a few days, so I suggest everyone steal from the missing to feed themselves!
I think his other cities have ships in harbour, so this is the only open one...zero military now.
Hmm so I might have made a boo boo, one of the guys on my island apparently has a level 15 main village, I really need to learn how to check someones entire village set. This could be bad....
On happier topics: wine or marble as second colony?

You can ask me or just guess based on their score.
Alright, guess I'll get that colony on the way before his army that "is on its way to destroy" me arrives, hoping that he didn't send war ships and if I have a ram ship it'll turn them about.

It will tell you if it's ships coming to blockade or if it's armies. And 1 ram ship will turn away an infinite number of ground troops.
First choice is an island with one or more other PA people on it. Next is an island that is crowded, but with mostly > level 6 towns. If it is crowded with noobs, not necessarily a good thing. If you check the page source from the island view, you can see the level of the sawmill and the luxury node; higher level is better.
There's absolutely nothing happening on the east side of the map, huh?
Also, a mate of mine is Game Operator on the Dutch version of the game. He's responsible enough to not abuse his power, though. :P
"I AM POSEIDON, INCARNATE UPON THIS WORLD! HEED MY WORDS, AND OBEY, LEST YOU FEEL THE SCOURGING WRATH OF THE SEA!"
...which is even better as "IK BEN POSEIDON, GESTALTE GEEF AAN OP DEZE WERELD! BESTEED AANDACHT AAN MIJN WOORDEN, EN VOER UIT, TENZIJ U DE TEISTERENDE TOORN VAN HET OVERZEES VOELT!"

For a babelfish, that isn't that bad. Only 3 real errors in there
Is there a way to restation troops at a different city after you make them? I started on an Ares wonder and want to eventually be able to send the cheaper troops to my colonies and have them stay there as if it's their home city.

I had planned to do this as well, and I made my second colony on an Ares island. Then I found out it costs double upkeep to station troops in another city, even your own.
But you can do this by going to the island view of the town you want to send troops to, then switching the pulldown menu to the town you want to send troops from, highlighting your town, and click Deploy Troops or Deploy Fleet.

Pretty sure this is incorrect. On the Delta server I have 42 Phalanges in my capital of which 2 were produced in the capital and all the rest came from my 1st colony which has an upkeep of 685...which I'm pretty sure is not double the upkeep of 40 slingers let alone 40 phalanges. And my capitals upkeep is only 752 which is also not double the upkeep.
The upkeep is doubled in transit, it goes back to normal once they arrive at any city. At least, this is my current understanding. Several people have posted the other interpretation on the boards, and some things mention that troops need to be in their "Home city", for instance in order to initiate vacation mode. I take this to mean "one of your colonies", so that units cannot be occupying or stationed in a military ally's city (if those were even implemented).
But upkeep is shared across all your cities; each pays a percent based on its portion of your total population.
As it's impossible to tell what a specific unit's home city is, it'd basically make vacation mode impossible if you've ever transferred a unit based on that interpretation.

Set that up first with Kayne of course...

You can ask me or just guess based on their score.
If you don't have wine already, I'd say wine.
Edit: I still have buckets of wine; surely someone is trying to save up that 11k...
It will tell you if it's ships coming to blockade or if it's armies. And 1 ram ship will turn away an infinite number of ground troops.
I should go for islands that are crowded correct?
Hurm, yeah, I guess you're right. I started on wine so I didn't have to make that choice.

With a 110% wall bonus? I'm considering sending my fleet out if I can demolish this guy's army.
Defenders win that, handily. (Well, I'm assuming the second group is the defenders, right?)

Right, second group is my guys defending my capital. Looks like it's anchors aweigh.

I have my barracks and academy up.
Level 2 town hall, upgrading the academy as I type this.
I haven't built a trade port yet, I suppose that should be next?
I also have 4 slingers, should I get more?
