My coordinates are 423:529. You are way far away from me. Is there a way to start next to people?

Oh, by the way, we are on World 3 (NA EST). I took the recommended server, and it just happened to be the same Catt is on.
If this is something we toy with (high potential as it's fairly low overhead. Something you can manage once a day over lunch.) I would suggest we all play our first week (you are protected), figure things out, then start over on a new server all at once. That way, we maximize our first week and are more ready for action at the end of it. As it stands, I've made a TON of errors building my city. I thought the tutorial was just a tutorial. So, I'm reading and doing what she's saying, but not really trying. Just trying to get through it. At the end she says "Ok, you're all set. Good luck!". Ummmm. Horrible city layout.
When she says place next to trees, do that. And the more trees you border, the more you produce. Same with other resources. You have two sets of walls (inner and outer), you can build outside the inner walls, but inside the outer. All of my shit is crammed in the inner city walls. I have a feeling my production buildings would be better outside the main inner walls. Dunno yet though.
Anyway, those are my early thoughts.

I think everyone will default to World 3, it's the North American EST server.

I see, nobody could join me in Evony, but when EA (the company Cakedaddy is boycotting) releases the exact same game...

I noticed the EA thing as well. So, when it comes time to pay to play or to do something, then, I'm out.

Raided a level 1 dungeon last night. Â Sent 15 berserkers. Â 15 survived. Â Looted a handful of resources. Â Nothing major, but something.
It would take 8.5 hours for my foot soldiers to reach your city if you were under attack. 4.25 for Cavalry. That seems prohibitive when trying to support each other. That's what I meant by far away. Seems like things would be long over before I got there to help.

OK, how did you find the dungeon? I went to region, and clicked around, but couldnt find any
Well, by Travian terms, 4.5/8.5 hours isn't very far, but I dont know how that translates here.
afaik, this is a beta, which means the game will reset afterwards? dunno.

What are your production levels? I'm at:
578/h - wood
846/h - stone
470/h - iron
75/h - food
155/h - gold

They gave examples of sending 10 troops to a level 1 and not losing any. I sent 15 cause I had extra iron, so made more troops.
With the level 1 dungeons, there's a cap on how much you can loot, and it's not very much. With level 2's and higher, the more you send, the more you can loot. Each unit has a carrying capacity. So, the more troops you send, the more the group can carry. They were giving examples of sending a total of around 40 troops if memory serves. They'd lose 1-3 troops in the level 2 dungeons.
I found a level 1 hydra out there too. Seems whoever strikes the killing blow gets the prize for the kill. Didn't send any troops there though.
If you scroll and scroll and scroll to the right, there's another land mass with no one (that I could see) on it. It highlighted as if to give me the option to start a city over there. Didn't see any dungeons or anything though. So, not sure if that's future expansion or a bug with the build options. But, it's out there.

Wood/Stone seem to be the important ones early on, so that's what I've focused on

Wow, I attacked a level 1 Dungeon with a Dragon, and it went poorly.
19 Bezerkers, lost 6; The dragon lived.
I looted just a little stuff:
260 gold., 66, 19 ,19, 26 of the other.

You are actually 448:533. Sent you 30 iron as trade. I figured the beasts would be hard to kill. I've got a dragon by me now as well.
I build a second squad of 15 berzerkers and sent them to the dungeon as well. I'm recovering about the same amount of loot you are. Next trip, I'm going to send 10 troops and see how it goes. Maybe have 3 squads running around.
I'm ramping up wood/stone production as well. I did heavy iron at first out of ignorance. At least I'm getting lots of bezerkers starting out and producing income.
