I'm sitting pretty on Demolay's outpost right now just waiting around for a bit seeing if anyone wants to join me in an attack. I'm a bit late for the party but I've committed now nearly all of my troops and they're standing by.
What's nice about the new patch is battles aren't won anymore with sheer numbers. Each unit now has specific purposes. So it's not as much about having a huge army now as it is having a diverse army. For example, gyros. Used to be pretty much useless. Now, they are the only unit that can destroy balloons. So even having a few gyros in your town can totally keep you safe from attacking balloons. Siege machines are just as important as ever. Each battle you have to get through that town wall in the first round. Mortars will be essential. Steam Giants are decent still, but certain units are incapable of killing them while other units such as the hoplite if I'm not mistaken, can easily take down an SG if you have enough of them. And so on...
I'm still learning the finer points of battle under the new system, but basically, the new patch allows people to defend themselves against others who may have a huge military score but don't necessarily know how to use their units.
Demolay's really sharpened his skill in Kappa when it comes to choosing targets. He also has a really good understanding of how the units work under the latest patch. So as long as we're all on at the same time and get into something akin to a chat room, we can coordinate battles pretty effective. We're kind of far away from a lot of targets so I'm assuming a floater colony will be involved.
Demolay will be very reasonable about that. He's more just trying to get everyone to gradually be increasing their military scores in the meantime. I mean, no one expects you to buy more military than you can afford, but just be ready to hunker down and upgrade your walls and basic defensive units. I'm not even sure who the prospective targets are, but we've definitely been playing Sim City in Gamma for some time so I agree with De about going to war. If all goes well, maybe we can even get some really decent loot out of the whole campaign.
TWLi was the lackey alliance of UIN. Neither never went to war without the other one completely backing them. They were bullies and a great many of their members were leeches. Though to be fair, TWLi actually acted more sensible that UIN ever did. UIN no longer exists, but I don't know if TWLi is still on there or not. Ever since our self-imposed exile, we've stayed mostly out of alliance politics.
Some people have done very well with trade posts. I can tell you a couple reasons why you might not want to invest in one though. One is that you have to upgrade it a lot in order to find deals around your area. And since we are way the hell out there, there aren't many people around us so you'd have to upgrade it a lot just before you started reaching many other people to trade with.
Second, Demolay, Winters and I are all happy to give you what you need. Because when you're starting out, for example, 10k marble isn't that much to us, but for your upgrades that much marble can go a long way. And we're happy to help you out with that.
And third, I'd much rather use that extra building space for another much needed building.
No problem, mate. I would've sent you more, but I'm actually saving for a GR upgrade myself. Let me know if you need any wine right now. I got shitloads.
