HOW ABOUT PLUNDERING FENA HE'S THE RICH BASTARD HERE

Hmm ok, i hope that spot is still opened by the time i'm done to move

Go ahead and try.
I got a bigger army than the rest of you.

i need marble so badly. probably gonna colonize today on the main marble isle or the new marble isle in the area.

It'd be more smart to colonize on the main SRF Marble Island. The alliance offers protection, and you get to be with people that you know. (:

AGREE

Lol, yeah right. I have 10 slingers, 10 swordsmen, and 5 phalanx troops, if you can beat that, you're pretty good.

Although lately all the towns I've been pillaging have like several hundred soldiers.

lol
i used to have 15 swordsmen 10 phalanx and 5 rams
=]
btw
im about to get some archers

i am taking a risk and attacking a guy that is 2 lvls over me mys pies tell me he has 2k wine+ and has only 5 soldiers but a lvl 6 wall so we will see how it goes.. My wall is going to be lvl 7 so i feel pretty safe..

I DID IT i beat the guy!
I won the battle with 1 slinger left!. I cant take a screenshot at the moment ill try to post one later. But lol 1 slinger left. War is fun!


Squirt from Hotan has won the battle and pillages Asherat.

So far my ship has 151 wood and 48 marble loaded tehre beter be more =/. but not bad for my first war =]

outta Diplo points.

gotta recharge

if ya need resources just ask

I've been playing for less than a week.
I'll pillage your town soon.

^ How do you do it?
i played for a week more than me yet your 3 weeks ahead f mer. i just [illaged my firsat town today. And in 5 hours i am going to pillage a wine hour cause citizens citizens are real sad lol

Fast research and pillaging, I guess. I started pillaging on Wednesday and I have the resources to afford to build everything I want. Research is key, IMO. No point expanding your town hall to L10 and whatnot. It doesn't do anything for you. I highly doubt anybody has the population to need a L10 Town Hall right now.
On top of that, wine and happiness. More growth = more people = more soldiers/money/supplies.

Oh, and pillage the right people. I can send five slinges to a town and come back with 20,000 gold in two hours. Pillage them that are inactive and close to home. I don't even use spies. I don't even have a spy right now, hah. I researched Espionage and I can build a hideout, but I'm busy upping my warehouse to hold more stuff.

Oh, and buy the boats. One boat can only hold 300 supplies, so even if you pillage a town with a million wine, you can only bring back 300. I have 20 boats right now. They get really expensive. I think the price doubles with each new boat you buy. My boats cost 20k per boat now, haha.



Anybody know how to get more action points?

^ every 5 lvl of your town hall = 1 more action point

Need marble willing to trade with sulfur 1-1 or crystal 1-1
or buy with gold

Need as much as possible
75:18 -Luoyang
74:18 -Chang An

Increasing your town level is always a good plan if you afford the happiness.
Bigger town = more people
More people = faster access to resources
More people = more gold for army upkeep
More people = more people who can research things, thus faster research.

I'm planning to research glass asap thus I can use crystals for faster research and use my crystal island as a research whore.

Next step will be colonizing a wine or a sulphur island.
Probably sulphur because I can keep my citizens happy with museums (if people actually accept my cultural treaties).

I can sell you 900 marble for the crystal/sulfur combo but it will take a while to get there yes?

Oh, cool. Never knew that.
I guess there is a reason to up your town hall.

Thanks. (:

How much crystal/sulfur do you want?
Yes I'm far away

You guys seem to have a lot of inactive over there, everyones active over here near my islands

SInce you from SRF i will give you the 900 for 400 sulfur deal?

Which island do you want me to ship it too?


And fena your a genius i just found a guy lower action pointsthan me. he has 20 k gold imma send out a spy just to be sure

Of course. What I mean, though, is the fact that I doubt many SRFers actually have a population size in a city that you need a L10 town for. I don't know how many people a L10 city can hold, but I'm almost positive that no one here has that many people yet. I have 197 people in my main city with a happiness of 304. My growth rate is around five. But every single time it starts rising, I use them to colonize or turn them into soldiers, haha. One swordsman takes two citizens.

Uhh sorry, sulfur doesn't seem so good now, I'm being attacked and I'm thinking I'll need to use my sulphur stocks to get more phalanxs

I think I need to hold trade off, donno how this battles gonna turn out.
How do I check how much money is lootable?

Your fleet has returned to Aryavartha from plundering Imperial City and brought:

* Gold: 2947
* Building material: 135
* Wine: 16
* Marble: 3
* Crystal glass: 43

Your fleet has returned to Aryavartha from plundering taco hut and brought:

* Gold: 14002
* Building material: 6
* Wine: 3

I'm doin what you are saying fena, but no actual resources, just money, even tho i have 10 boats.

also, colonising SRF wine island. 15hrs away, but hopefully ill find some nice wine bases around to plunder, if not 15hrs is just a day's trip to ship some wine

How do you guys find all these inactives?

I'm stuck with doing trade.

my towns for at this moment:

Silkroad (capital) [13:84] Lv13 974/1077 citizens
Great Wall [14:86] Lv10 591/722 citizens
Forbidden City [64:2] Lv3 146/313 citizens

buying marble and wine send to 64:2
selling marble from 13:84
buying wine and glass send to 13:84

@above, just check their high scores if you have a certain target in mind and monitor their score and if it doesn't change or lowers they are inactive

Look around on the islands next to you. If the people have an i next to their name, it means that they're inactive.

hmm that's helpful i'll keep that in mind when pillaging

also try to blockade their harbors first so they can't send out their resouces before you attack

LOl i just pillaged this guys town GodLikemam the battle was over in 1 second. i got 170 wood and 49 marble. He was weak =/
