Get ready to defend yourself!

Few things I recommend:
Blow up dumps and use double warehouses. Keep your goods below the safe value. Spend it, or the enemy will take it.

Don't keep your cooks and tenders with your army/navy but keep them close. If your main forces get attacked you will run out of morale and the troops will scatter. Saves you from heavy losses while you are offline.

If you aren't using sulfur to build troops, trade it to someone who is.

Don't engage in large battles unless it's to break up a roaming force who is causing issues in the area. Large battles are almost always balanced so each side is doing 50% damage. They can also last a LONG time meaning the other side can reinforce.

Whiteflag a battle if you are taking heavy losses. There's little reason to ever loose 2nd line units because you're getting flanked or your front line dies.

If you are getting hammered and they are getting nothing in return they will leave you alone.

Vinopolii 30.12.2012 23:20 Your units in Marbleliciousx4 had to leave the town because no one was there to provide them with board and lodging. They have scattered.

FYI, this is what happens when you v-mode with troops in town/in route.

not vmode by choice blah!

Phoenix86 · Dec 30, 2012

Also, don't take good from someone who is lower total score than you and not repay them. You'll get put into v-mode for a few days for pushing. :whiste:

Phoenix86 · Dec 30, 2012

I was sending navy to the area until v scattered them, lol. I'll try again a little later tonight.

LoL...feel bad you got hit. That puss shadow called in help from space turtle and sigfred or whatever his name is. Sigfredn attacked sulphurlicious with 10K troops, then that puss shadow hit me with his measly 2K units and took some wine and marble. I sent him a note telling him he was a puss....thought that's why I was banned at first

cirrrocco · Dec 31, 2012

you were banned??? for calling him a puss.. sadistic mods

what do you mean by this. I am confused. Isn't morale of troops better with tenders and cooks

Yes, but if you are attacked when you're away from the game do you want your army to scatter when you lose morale or fight to the last man? If you aren't monitoring your stuff you can get wiped in a single battle. Better to scatter and rebuild with less losses.

No matter how big your army is, the enemy can always bring more than you. Especially if you're asleep, they can reinforce mid combat if they hit a big army. You're a sitting duck.

Ahh Ic. Makes sense.

Also thanks for freeing my port. what happens to his troops. Will they be able to get out now.

Anytime. They will have to move to another town with a free port on the island or they are trapped. Tell me how much is there and I can probably clear that too. Also, apply to HFX.

cirrrocco · Dec 31, 2012

I think they left.. I sent some of my troops and they fought against my own wall and died.. weird. hahaha

Go to the town view and click troops in town. If there are no enemy troops just click rebel and you're free. If there are a couple of troops, build a few of your own and click rebel, this will free the town from the inside. Worse case you have to free from another town and that means you have to fight your own wall so you need siege equipment.

kyrax12 · Jan 1, 2013

Do you guys situate your colonies on the same island or do you spread them out?

Verse914 · Jan 1, 2013

If you have a town with high lvl mines, then its worth it to double up. Same island colonies also make moving resources around easy.

I have 3 islands with two colonies on each. Moving resources between an on-island town only takes 10 mins.

cirrrocco · Jan 3, 2013

hey guys wanna pool up to knock out the heapeastus guy. I think a bunch of TNT players have been using him to attack our towns.

I can produce a couple hundred swordsmen and couple hundred hoplites and about 30 SG's.

if i make those units , can we coordinate a hit that guy a few times a day. what do you think.

Also if I create the army, and deploy it to your town, will you be able to control it?

Verse914 · Jan 3, 2013

no, we can't control your army.

Pyromaniac has a pretty large army now (44K MS I think). He's attacked me several times, but has gotten nothing. Me and Phoenix beat him up early on. I have sterling, space turtle, syed, and biboo attacking my towns several towns per day since I came back from my "vacation"

Phoenix86 · Jan 3, 2013

My army just got wiped for the most part last night, navy is so-so but I'm in a rebuilding mode.

oic.. well we need a strategy to take out the sterling , spcae turtle and syed guy. Can we pool up and time some attacks. maybe two can focus on army and one can Navy?

ahh dude, that sucks. My town ATOT crystal and ATOT marb 2, have never been attacked. Maybe deploy your troops there for the evening before you go sleep.
36:54 and 33:56

Phoenix86 · Jan 3, 2013

They were wiped in a huge attack, had to go to sleep mid battle which never ends good. I keep my tenders/cooks away from my troops overnight to mitigate losses, it's 4 rounds of combat then they get scattered for morale so it's not that big a deal.
