long distance attacks are the calling card of the average retarded ikariam player.
and i dont know why but the budget in two of my towns is getting worst, when im doing nothing to make it like that, and im olny making military upgrades to my capital......
and my goverment dew to a wroseing budget has been making many military changes, including cutting all swordsmen, and many archers from the military, while recruting more phalanx to atleast keep a good military. Then i will finally switch to a all gunman one because it's easier.
I'm afraid I cannot partake in the pillaging, as I have a lvl16's fleet on its way over to blockade my harbor. makes me wish i invested in seafaring more >.<
I'm not positive, but I think you need sulfur to upgrade the palace after level 5. Also, arn't hoplites free citizen soldiers that pay for their own armor/weapons? I'm sure you could form a phalanx with a professional army. but i digress... I may need some help getting his navy outta my colony... Biff, wanna test out your fleet?
Hoplites are the professionaly trained soldiers who use a spear and the large shields. The term "Phalanx" is a maneuver which is why they're so famous. It is when they use their shields to cover half of themselves and half of the person to one of their sides.

i got a question regarding troops. when you deploy your troops from one colony to another, do they cost double upkeep the whole time they are there, or just in transit?
awww you do care lol. yea my budget is crap too, ive been forced to make so many military changes, got rid of all my swords men, and am replacing them with a smaller amount of phalanx , then i cut back on archers to a lesser extint, now i really just want to get gunman to atleast have it more simpile.

Alright, the real war can wait. It looks as if there are more pressing matters.
What are the coords to the city under attack? You can message me in Ikarium.
I'll send my entire fleet.
Oh, do you want me to defend your city, or to attack his city?:cool:

thanks but i negotiated with him and he called it off. i just have to trade him 4kcrystal for 6ksulfur, which works out cause i needed sulfur anyway. i have a feeling i could have taken him on anyway. (had 10steam giants, 10 phalanx, and 20 archers there)

Damn, I could have given you 2K sulfur for free, and you are trading crystal for it?!?!
But good job negotiating.
Actually I might postpone the attack a couple more days so I can make my military even stronger. That could also give some of you guys the opportunity to partake in pillaging as well.

well i haven't traded him yet, i could just tell him to fuck off and just build up defenses, but i figure ill save resources by just trading with him, and the sulfur will help me build up troops.
what units are you making? My navy is weaksauce, im making up for it with a bunch of steam giants. I figure ill just send a bunch of gunmen/archers and my remaining phalanx at Bradly1 and leave my steam giants for defense.
in a couple of days my navy will be 70 strong not to mention upgrades. Unfortantly i might not attack unless i can get this budget malfunction dealt with, it goes up and down, i lose 40k a day, my military has gone through 4 changes to try and level out, yea a couple days... ive completly cut swordsmen and most archers from the program and now ive cut defence units.
I am only building fire ships. I currently have 50 fireships, 18 ballistas, and 1 ram ship.
My gunmen are lagging. I only have 40. But I still have 90 swordsmen 20 archers, 20 phalanx, 2 catapults, and... what? 8 slingers?!?!? WTF?? I need to fire those POS immediately.
I only have 1 more upgrade to go on both gunmen and fireships each.
I noticed that everyone in the alliance (excluding me) focuses on either ships or ground troops, and not both. I'm curious. Why??
Well Archie, I DID have a decent navy, but it got chewed up when I was pillaging before. But I've been building catapult ships, despite the fact I *could* build paddle wheel ones.

because I want all my research points in science and econ. Once i got far in those i devoted a bunch to military. Ill probably start adding to seafaring in a week or so.
Hey guys. I'm still pretty desperate for lumber on my glass island, Arka Planitia.
I can send any player up to 6000 marble right now for anyone who can get me lots of lumber. I really need it to get my glass and lumber mills upgraded. Please help?
