Occupation just may be the excuse I was looking for to finish with this game.
Does anyone know the details for occupation? I read somewhere that it is an 8 hour event, which isn't so bad.
The game has a major problem. In the real world, you could kill your enemies and take over their land. However, Ikariam wants new players to be able to gain a foothold. So you really can't completely destroy the weak. I can see why they do that, but at some point it's like welfare.
Freetranslation.com: "Your units dispersed themselves and are presently not available." Maybe you'll get them back when the occupation is over? If and when?
Most likely, judging from the number of losses I sustained and the little timer. And it wasn't really an occupation, it was only because his troops were still in my town pillaging.
EDIT: And they're back, 2/4 phalanxes and 3/8 swordsmen. Also recruiting 8 new slingers.

Do you have any Ballisatas? You can at least make it economically imprudent for him to attach you - although I'm starting to think that people don't care too much about this. Money seems to be fairly easy to come by, thus easily wasted.

I had 3 ballista ships. The attack is barely finished, let me recover a big, hehe. But yeah, some guys just don't care.
I'm heading to bed, I'm researching invention atm, that way I can upgrade my phalanx shields. 78 Defense power (per phalanx) apparently wasn't enough. I shall build an army of 10 phalanxes with steel shields and spears! It'll take time though. Don't bother sending anything, no port. And it only takes 10 minutes to build a new one, so I'll do that tomorrow.
Janith and I are on the same island. Each of us is trying to expand to a neighboring island, one with Marble (him) and one with Crystal (me). Considering we're on a sulfur island, anyone near us will also be in a good position to get resources from us. There also hasn't been any real aggression on our island (aside from me picking on "polis" islands that generally disappear) so we should be good soon.
I keep forgetting to post this here, but I started a colony. I'm at 6:37, marble. Same island as Usagimaru, actually. Town called Kampala. I'm only at level 5, though.
I am seriously in need of some marble right now. I am at the point where I cannot expand my colony without more marble. marblemarblemarblemarblemarble. If someone would be so kind as to send 300 marble to my little island, I'll send them back 300 wine. I'm at 11:54. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?
Is anybody else having trouble getting into the site? I just got back from work, and my friend Orin says that it's been down since about 8:30 Central. We can both still load the main page, however...
Dito. I just hope that my guys are still collecting resources. I'm really close to getting enough resources to land a colony on a marble island.
EDIT: Just checked Ikariam message boards. Looks like the routers near the servers computers are down. Info is over here. Currently no eta but they think the routers are working around the hole, and letting more people in. So to sum up: The servers still up and running, but about 1/2 of the people can't get to the servers.
Okay, I am now almost entirely out of marble, and no one is selling nearby. Essentially building has ceased in my town. Can anyone reach me? I got a crapton of sulfur and cash.
Your range is very limited until you acquire Expansion.
I have just reached a level where I can not trade my resources because I need them. Not only that but in order for me to continue advancing I am finding myself in need of ungodly amounts of wood.
The Thannic Kingdom has arrived! We have begun construction of a colony on the marble-rich island of Chrooxios[38:20]. In time, we shall offer our marbleic wonders alongside our crystalline riches in trade, but for now, we shall build.

EDIT: Destroyed the port. The entrance to the port is still blocked. Bah.
If you have no more stuff to steal (hopefully because you have a warehouse) just sit back and forget about it. All he is doing is wasting his money.
How does being under attack affect your own building and mining projects?
As an aside, what are the three ratings for your town (according to the GreaseMonkey script).
UPDATE: He's a newbie and apologized. He even offered to send me some stuff.

EDIT: Ninja'd! That's what I get for not refreshing the page first, I suppose.
IN DIRE NEED OF MARBLE AND SULPHUR!
My palace is currently going up and I should be able to start a colony tomorrow.
Anybody got any ideas on where I should put it? I'm thinking south-east corner ...
