  • Jason, would you please send me some marble? I'll be your friend and send you some crystal.
    All three of my ships are out making pizza deliveries. Er, marble deliveries. I can't afford to hire one more. Otherwise, I would pack your pretty pink mouth with so much marble you'd be the envy of every Jerry and Jane on the block.

    I don't believe you. You're cyber-bullying me again, aren't you?

    Son, you'd know if I turn my white-hot wrath against you. Don't tempt the fatty.
  • I'm thinking I'm going to give up on this game. It's getting boring and tedious.
    You're a right bastard, aren't you? I wouldn't have wasted all of my time with this stupid, bollocksy game if it hadn't been for you. You're staying in until the bitter end, laddie.
  • I have an attack heading my way in 11 hours. No idea where it is coming from and I can't imagine why someone would send a fleet 11 hours out just to get little old me?

    I have enough gold for a colony but not enough wood.

    The blue ones. You have to take the blue ones.

    I think I have you beat. Someone is willing to wait 12 hours to attack me. I am currently using some of my fresh Marble to bulk up my wall, then my warehouse. I'll recruit some soldiers when they get closer.

    The angels are singing. It was this game that got Scott and I to agree on something. Maybe the Gods had this in mind the whole time.
  • Is there any way of knowing if two cities on your island are attacking each other if you aren't one of those cities (without the use of spies)?
  • One of my island mates was pissed off of my constant raids so he sent ten swordsmen. I held him off with my four phalanx but I fear he will attack again...
  • I think I found a loophole. If an attacking force is headed your way just load up all your "lootable" goods and ship them to a distant city. After you lose the battle cancel the shipment.

    Huh. That's a pretty good loophole, there.
  • Hmmm... expanding your trading port has barely any use. Okay, you take a few minutes longer to load your boats, but that barely matters on the trips that take several hours. It's not like they cost anymore once they're in the water.

    I had destroyed my trading port for a blockade was on its way. Resulted in two sea battles, his two ballista ships against my three. I lost two, he lost two. I won both. I'll keep the Trading port at level one now.
  • That could be another loophole. If you don't have a port can they raid you?

    They can. They will only be able to steal 60 things though. Though they can't block you if you don't have a port, and if you then have a lot of warships they basically can't attack for your ships keep them away. Unless of course they get a lot of warships too.

    When I made it my TotD, I had no idea it would get this popular. I also never expected to be playing it more than a few weeks.
  • I have built my first colony on a Marble island. I think I'm getting the hang of this.

    This game only requires a lot of time when you start, afterwards the amount of resources needed to advance are so high that you will have to max out your workers and just ignore the game for days on end.
  • HMTK, can you give an extremely brief overview on what is needed in order to colonize?

    You have power over the people, Scott.

    Founding a colony:
    12000 gold
    1250 wood
    40 citizens
    5 cargo ships

    You can put some extra supplies on the ships as you send them out, but not much. It also takes about 4 hours for everything to be finished.
    The game gets kind of confusing as you need to switch between cities and transport supplies between them.
    One good thing though is you get to build another academy, which stacks on to your old one.
  • Does anyone have marble to trade for wine.
  • Founding a colony:
    12000 gold

    I'm just waiting on the gold, then I will be able to conquer a city on an island close to mine and start mining some marble.
  • I just built a colony on a nearby island with wine. I'm just waiting for the colony to finish building.
  • Just curious, was an alliance team ever actually made of the FRC in the game? If so, how does one go about joining it?
  • You need to research foreign cultures before you can ally with anyone, I am about 10 hours away from being able to ally with anyone.
  • So does that means there is an official FRC alliance already created in the system?
  • So does that means there is an official FRC alliance already created in the system?
    Not yet, but soon.
  • Is anybody willing to trade me some crystal glass for some of my wine? I have 500 wine to spare at the moment.
  • How long does it take to build a new colony?
  • A new colony takes 4 hours to build.

    While I was out today I ran out of money and all my military units left me. I'm going to guess it had to do with that raid that came my way but I don't see any news about the battle???
