I'm ready to settle a new city. Where should I go, Gordon. Give me some coordinates.

Do you want to be near me, or what?

This is my server 3 city.

Those 2 castles near me are 66% smaller than me, but one has a massive guild, and the other has a guild smaller than TKV.

Ya, near you. Close enough we can coordinate stuff and trade doesn't take days. I'm cool with setting up next to you and hitting that smaller city next week.

So what, do you want coordinates? Be on the river, obviously.

I'll just be within a few spaces of you. Didn't know if there was one spot better than another or anything. And, have to be on water. Settlers are coming by boat!

I'll keep your seat warm.

Just made another baron (queued, anyway)... do I have to build a boat for him to get to your continent?

Don't know. Haven't tried it.

Is this the city where you had no water access and I couldn't ship you food?

You need 25 boats to settle on a different cont (along with all the other shit). No carts needed though.

Holy shit. The middle boats? That can carry stuff?

Shits on the way. I figured a newbie city would form there. But the space is still open. Hope no one settles there while I'm on the way. ETA is 15:25 tomorrow.

No one new has shown up near me for a long while. Server 3 is "Full" most of the time so new peeps can't get in.

Just don't forget to be on the river.

The dude directly beneath me is the 1.7 billion zerk guy. I think he was banned because his city hasn't grown, but I scouted him today and he still has max food and his number of zerks hasn't gone down. Sucks. I hope he decays soon because it is like a nuclear fallout zone where I don't dare go.

New city up and running. Cottages everywhere and more resources coming from my other city already. 4 days of building minister is going to be nice. Didn't know it would work on both cities though. So that's cool.

Gordon, if you can spare any wood/stone right now, it would help keep me going. Have a ton coming from my other city. But that's not getting there till tomorrow. I don't need a lot cause I'm extremely plunderable right now. But, a few thousand ever couple hours would keep my build queue full.

Do you need iron? I'm full on server 3. My second city is pretty full of it to right now, so I can't just send in there. But if you can spend it, I have a shit ton.

I am 25% of max, so sure, send it.

Over on Server 3, my neighbor directly south raided me twice and got pretty much nothing.

Building up to 200 scouts right now to hide the army I'm going to build.

I honestly don't know how to build a good defense from being plundered. Besides hideouts. Anyone?

Balistas and balista towers. The balista has insane defense numbers against all unit types, and the tower doubles them. However, they use up 10 troop slots and are expensive. Catt posted numbers on return on investment for various troops. Best defense per gold/food, etc. I don't know if the balista is the best investment, but it does have insane numbers.

My main defense for my supply city is going to be hideouts, and sending the resources out to other cities. Main defense for my castled city is going to be troops, navy, walls and towers.
