Damn it! I thought I was looking to buy and found a great deal but I ended up selling at a stupid loss. Now I have to wait 15 minutes for the ships to complete loading before I can cancel them. Grr.... This game needs a cancel button while a ship is loading.
< whine> Ah, curses! Foreign cultures finished, but I need 13 marble to build an embassy. Too bad I only have 4 right now. It looks like my embassy will have to wait until after I set up my first colony. For which I'm waiting on cargo ships, money, and action points... < /whine>
Does anyone have an easy way of making a chart so we can see who is nearby us?
I know we have the coordinates posted, but I'm a visual guy.
I'm making one in GIMP. Very basic though... I've run into a problem though. According to the list on the first page, Shelios has two towns on 87:33. One is called Orin, and the other is called Twasazerg, Orin mines Sulphur and Twasazerg mines Crystal...

I just checked those coordinates. It is indeed Shelios[87:33]. However neither of those cities are listed on that island. That island produces Crystal. It is possible that they renamed their cities.

Doh. Yeah, I messed up a bit with the names and stuff (switched them arg). Shelios is the island, the players are Twasazerg and Orin. It might be smart to put the names of the city in that list as well, that way one can find the player faster if they are not yet part of the FRC alliance. Orin is on a different server I guess.
EDIT: Also, here's the finished overview map, at least, for now. Colour code: Green, unoccupied island (by FRC forum member that is), or empty square. Red, FRC forum member on wine island. Gray, FRC forum member on marble island. Light blue, FRC forum member on crystal island. Yellow, FRC forum member on sulphur island. Black, enemy on non-FRC forum member island.
I suggest that everybody moves to the south east corner when they can. That way we are all very close and will have started conquering the server. MUHAHAHAHAAA!
My resource is wrong in Andrew's list, now that I look at it. I changed my Forum name to match Ikariam, but "Bishie Serge" should be listed under mining crystal.
If anyone is nearby, I just pillaged the city of A1S on the island of Sauloios. (89:63) The city is inactive. With two slingers, I got 820 wood and 338 marble.
Has anyone found the spy to be worth the money? I haven't really thought so.
Also, how long do inactive cities stay around? They are so sweet for the picking, but I assume they get deleted at some point.
UPDATE: I found the answer to my second question: * o Phase 0: If somebody takes no action within 5 hours after registering an account, it will be immediately deleted. o Phase I: Within the first 7 days: - Time until inactive: 2 days - Time inactive until deletion: 2 days o Phase II: Two weeks up to a month: - Time until inactive: 7 days - Time inactive until deletion: 4 days o Phase III: 1 month to 3 months - Time until inactive: 7 days - Time inactive until deletion: 14 days o Phase IV: from 3 months onward: - Time until inactive: 7 days - Time inactive until deletion: 30 days
In the inactive phase the resource mining of all the player´s towns is reduced by half.
I am currently blockaded by two ramships in the military harbor. I'm working on getting my embassy up and would really appreciate some aid in the smackdown. Also some sulfur, if someone would like some crystal.
Will trade three hundred sulfur 1:1 for crystal, marble, or wine.
I would trade you 215 crystal, but I can't figure out which you are on your island. Can you send a diplomatic message in game to Aedammair (Fasyos, 12:21)?

Update: Ship is on its way. Only a two hour travel time!
I can still trade 200 sulfur for some marble.
For example, WealthyAardvark and I are very close to each other. Since it's so easy for us to trade, we should not duplicate colonies.
I hope to have a marble colony up in a day or less.
Here is a good guide on establishing colonies.

I've got a chart over here that has everybody colored by resource, but no names attached to individuals. I'm almost done with it.
I changed my Forum name to match Ikariam, but "Bishie Serge" should be listed under mining crystal.
And updated it to fix Orin... will fix ColdfireSerge's in a moment.finished overview map
