Wow his score is pretty high (understatement). I guess we are limited to defending for now. Best of luck and let me know if you need any resources.

naw its all good. He has an 8 our blockade up on that port, but sent no troops to pillage. my only issue will be if I run out of wine at my other colonies but I think I'll be ok and I'll just keep pillaging for more anyway.

Have you researched "Helping Hands" yet? It would seem like that would help with this situation... I think it basically allows you 150% of the normal capacity of the mill or mine or whatnot, at least from what I've seen from others higher level players... ie my mine may top out at 400 people max, but others have 600 working.

yes, i finished it yesterday. ive gotten an extra 230 wood an hour overall. and 100 extra lux goods overall.

down sides, though im happy i am producing more, it costs 4 men to make 1 lux good, and 3 men top make an extra wood. so i went from an average of -12000 an hour to -25000 an hour. not sure its worth it....

I've finally managed to buy some marble, so now I'm building up my trading post so I'll be able to get other resources. I'll join the alliance as soon as I'm up to a high enough level.

Fungicid from Fungipolis has sent 3 spies to spy on me that I know of.

I sent one to spy on him, waiting to see what I get back, but maybe a good check of the alliance he is in now which is not the same one as the big guy that was helping him before is in order, along with some troops to remind him to stay within his own walls...

edit: he is in the L F alliance.

let him spy.... you keep upgrading your spy house, at some point your will be to big for him, and he will lose the spy every time.

47:71 Cerberus. My first colony. I can trade probably 400 marble max.

I have glass coming out of my ears on the mainland (Antenora 47:70), if anyone wants to trade.



Cheers,

I'll have my fourth up tomorrow, I sent all my ships out to trade forgetting that I had just finished upgrading all my Governor's residences. Oh well. New colony will be Pseudonym on 30:56. Probably early tomorrow. Oh, and it's sulfur, completing my Empire of Awesome.
