Don't worry if all you have is 5, but thanks for the offer. I'll have to have some patience before my levels get up from some quick raiding. I'm just too darn eager!

lozza23_uk · 8 Mar 2007 at 16:55

i know how you feel.

literally 2 hours ago you could have had a couple hundred

Right, embassy level 12 has been started. However, this is getting silly. The requirements are getting tough. The next one is:

Costs to upgrade to level 13: 3480 | 2515 | 2900 | 1545 | 3 | 4:32:20

I'm not gonna bother with that, so after those 3 spaces are filled, it is gonna be one in, one out!

Don't blame you.

We should have enough members now to pose a threat.

Good work Caustic.

17 members of the alliance now have over 100 population! Good work guys

Got everything to level 4 bar 4 resources now, and second cranny is level 9... Should have the last 4 done by end of today, second level 10 tomorrow... Then its the push onto level 5 resources.

Going to ramp up the resource production before going too aggressive with the troops.

Cheers,
Sam

I'm being attacked at the moment by a guy who usually strolls by with 50 phalanx and always leaves empty handed, I'm building a load of traps to pinch some of his troops and have a level 1 pallisade constructed.

Think its probably best to leave my 10 phalanx out of town when he arrives though as he'll probably kill the lot of them.

Anyone had any success with defending against a much larger force? I've spent all my resources so he'll be leaving empty handed once again, but I'd like to put a stop to his attacks.

I guess if I just trap 10 or so of his 50 off troops he'll have to attack again afterwards to get them back, but it takes him 2hrs each way to get to me, so by then I'll have another load of traps in place.

Caustic · 8 Mar 2007 at 18:07

I don't think there is much you can do. I reckon he is probably just attacking you to try and stop you building up your troops, so he can raid more.

I need to check to see if we are allowed to shuffle troops between players etc. As if so, that might do the trick. As I could loan people some troops if they are under constant attack.

Its not a problem, I'm happily building up troops and just moving them out of town when he stops by, I'd just like to catch him off gaurd and decimate his army

The guy does have a population of 347 though :eek:

talkshowhost · 8 Mar 2007 at 18:15

I didn't think troops counted as population?

I must just be thinking of the wheat consumption then. ah well i would have thought your army counted as population.

Lolcb · 8 Mar 2007 at 18:32

Im not joining alliance until I have 100 population at least.

sniffy · 8 Mar 2007 at 18:33

I'd like an invite. I don't fancy my chances anytime soon but I may as well get my name down. Pop is 39 (30 man army now though so progressing nicely)

If you're going to implement this one-in one-out method, perhaps you should write down the names of people who want an invite. Would be lame if people who requested an invite after someone got in before that someone. Just an idea.

lozza23_uk · 8 Mar 2007 at 18:38

going to be in and out tonight. but if I am in the list for an invite I will be checking occasionally.

39 pop with 30 army :eek:

Minstadave · 8 Mar 2007 at 18:58

Well the idea with traps didn't work as I thought it would.

He had so many troops he just destroyed all the traps and free'd his troops, is that how it always works?

If they have more troops than you have empty traps, And they win the fight, Then yes.
