Received your offer.

Sadly I need a museum and that requires me to have researched Cultural Exchange (rather than just Foreign Cultures). Sorry :/

As soon as I get the right stuff researched I'll give you a call/accept :)
 
How is everyones little empire going? Been a while since anyone poasted in this thread. I just expanded my palace to allow me my fifth colony. Already have 2 marble, 1 wine and 1 crystal glass so just need to decide what my next should be.

Marble is still being sold for the highest amount but think i'll need more crystal glass in the future for improvements in the workshop so tempted for a 2nd one of those?

My 5th was a wine island, My cities are all roughly around size 16-17 with my capital at 19 so even with museums at level 5 I need a tavern of around level 12 to sustain decent growth so I need plenty of wine. Plus its always in high demand and is easy to sell. I already had 2 marble colonies anyway and I find 1 crystal is enough for the workshop or to upgrade academies as needed. The only colony I don't have is sulphur as it is so cheap to get hold of it just doesn't make economic sense to bother with one.

Been building up my army recently since as i'm finding building is becoming boring, time to squish some leechers on my main island I think :)
 
well i've chosen another crystal isleand. My wine supply is OK just now. 2 vills at 16 and 2 at 17. population growth is all at about 1 with taverns all at level 8 i think. I have 26 cultural agreements whihc helps! What would help my growth is reducing corruption but the governor's residence uprage costs are the same as a palace so i'm sure they'll change this is the next upgrade so i'm putting up with it just now.

I've got a wee bit of an army going as i'm getting a bit bored too. I worked out gunsmen are the most efficient troop type (although my current build time is 2 hours each) in terms of troop type when fully upgraded This post has the attack/defence values prior to any upgrades.

i have 4 islands. 3 12's and a 7 atm. I was building up a decent sized army for each base but it seems i built to much and went into negative hourly profit :O. So atm im not really bringing in much resources :p

I did that as well a while ago. Built such an army my gold intake was negative. Had to send my soldiers off on a suicide mission but they did take out over 300 slingers in the process. I think the guy I attacked quit not longer after that ;)
 
I managed to up my cities enough to get out of my negative profit from garrisoning too many troops, my main capital has +125% defense bonus from the town wall now lol - good luck attackers.
 
I have been thinking about going for a 5th colony for a while now, but I am not sure I need it. I don't really need more population either, as I am getting plenty of income. Trying to slowly upgrade the mines rather than build a second colony, but it will happen.

What do people spend all their gold on?

once you get any kind of army it really drains the gold so the more colonies = the more income = bigger army.

Fifth colony is not too bad cost wise but for a 6th it is 200K wood, 130K marble, 88K wine/crystal:eek:

I'm constantly on about 200K gold - tend to buy wood if it on offer at 10-15 gold and any marble/crystal/wine if 30 or less. Also have 40 trade ships. the next one will cost £180K and am running at a net income of about 6K per hour just now.
 
How are things going with everyone?

I'm finding the game more interesting now that i've started raiding and building up my army, anyone who isn't donating is feeling the full force of my troops at the minute. Its quite effective and sometimes quite profitable :)

I was also thinking it would be nice to have a list somewhere of peoples IGN's as I don't know them all and keep forgetting who is who. I know that not everyone uses the same name as in these forums also, I certainly wouldn't want to accidentally raid a fellow OCUKer, we can then eventually put it into one post and add to it occasionally. If we had capital coords as well it would also be useful for adding cultural treaties.
So to start with:

Players Listed Alphabetically

2StepSteve =
Aekeron
bayo000 = Vrutky (?)
Caustic =
Dal = dal777
Darg = Darg
Dogma =
EgonSpengler = RenO
krooton =
Loafer = Loafer
Its_me =
Mp4 =
Skyboat =
talkshowhost = Leif Erikson
Tripnologist = Tripnologist
Vicious = Vicious


(please send me a message or post below and i'll compile the list, in the meantime, i'll trawl through this thread)
