Right, at 7:10pm 3 more people can get into the alliance. *Everybody* who wants in, post now, with your user name and your population. There are already three invites still open, so anybody who wants in, is going to have to have a good population, and be fast to click.

Pop - 50

Haven't got my hopes up but it's worth a try.

I signed up last night. Cool little browser game

One question. I just sent my troops to attack a village with a pop of 2. For some reason I can't find the village on the map now. Is there anyway to find out where my troops are heading?

I signed up last night.... I just sent my troops to attack a village...

Slow down there sailor!

Build up some fields first and get your cranny up to lvl 6+ then begin getting an army

Click on the Rally Point

Well I started as the teutons and I've been told it can be a lot more profitable in the beginning to get a barracks up and start raiding noobs. See how it goes

Nice one mrdbristol, cheers.

Edit

Dunno what the hell happend but I still can't see that village Well I've just found a roman with a pop of 12 with his noob protection about to run out xD

In theory - yes.

But you'll need a good supply of noob villages near you.

I'm a Teuton , didn't build troops til around pop.45.

Build your fields and cranny up first to keep your resources safe.

Remember you're a noob also so someone will be watching you aswell

Aye that's a good point mate. I'm kind of hoping I can pilage enough resources from other noobs during my protection period to accumlate enough resources to start building up my village fast (well faster than I would simply spending my resources into new fields).

I'm not too bothered if it doesn't work. It's nice to see how the game really works before starting a proper character.

Edit

Ok, this romans protection is over. *cracks knuckles*

 

[aceface57]

Quite enjoying this game, got my cranny to lvl8 and now starting to think about an army. What resources tend to be most sort after in markets once you've progressed a bit?

Wheat is probably the most valuable, as your wheat production is crippled by the amount needed to maintain the population.

Ok, it's saying I will arrive at his village in 35 minutes. Do I get some sort of indication when I have arrive at his village? What actually happens ?

Edit

Bah, my troops are still in my village. What on earth could I be doing wrong? I've just noticed when I do click on his village to attack it, I get this:

Arrival in 0:35:20 hrs. at 0:00:0? Uhr

Hence it is saying I will not ever arrive at his village. What could be causing this?

You're not pressing the ok button beneath that box. It hides and I've thought I've sent troops a couple of times when I've not!

 

[Zefan]

Just sent a single Legionnaire to an oasis with boars/bats/rats, he didn't come back

 

[Luke]

I've learnt the hard way - sending a single unit anywhere will result in the loss of that unit...

I never tried two, went straight to three units and I've been bullying other that way! Sending three never lost me any troops.

btw, Oasis's (sp?) are for when you have a level 10 hero's mansion only

Another person didn't read my comment saying not send a single units to do anything.

Oasis my look and sound easy, but they are much to tough for anything less than 30+ troops, unless you want loads of deaths.

God I feel like a moron now.
