Jeebus, the 2 small boats take up 100 unit spaces each, the big one takes 400. I wonder if they are worth that.

They sound pretty wicked though.

Well I've got a Sloop queued. Built another barracks and took it to level 8.

And 7 hours to build ONE.

The shipyards would be sped up by barracks as well, FYI. Obviosly building multiple yards will help too.

Yep, as soon as I noticed that I stated upgrading. Will probably build at least a 3rd barracks. Need to get up in the 100k zerk range.

I'm curious to see what happens after I bump off his last city guard.

This is the first time I plundered him when he was out of city guards.

The next time I post one of these is when I am taking boats...

Nice gold plundering.

Frigate will be built in 3 hours. This could be fun.

Have you found/seen any sea pirates yet? I saw a sea octopus, but no pirates.

Post by **GORDON** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 2:36 pm

I found "abandoned" sea pirates.

Heh, 250k player goods plundered.

This one guy is funding half of my advancement.

Post by **GORDON** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 4:26 pm

Ha, sucked him dry. Last plunder he only had about 2k resources.

Time to move on elsewhere and only hit him once a day or so.

Post by **TheCatt** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 4:40 pm

Hit him in 12 hours, making sure you have excess carry capacity, you can determine his exact production/how much to send at him in the future.

Uh oh.

I threw 12 scouts at this guy earlier, and they all were killed and I got no intel.

Just now:

The text scrolls off the screen to say if I have scouts in my city, they can counter his scouts. I did not know that. I threw my last 12 at him. Had 50 more queued up, but didn't give them priority.

Anyway, he peeped me. I might be a target for his guild. If you have troops on 3.... I wouldn't be mad if you sent them over.

Can't without big boats. Already tried.

Start making some allies there.

Backup arrives at 3 pm tomorrow.

You're on his continent, or you have boats? How'd you do that?!

Post by **Leisher** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 10:03 pm

I'm on his continent.
