I'm still uncertain as to just how valuable wine is. Why do I want my people happier than neutral?

Ah okay. Thanks Killer and Silver.

The ship button up in that upper left corner says 3 with a (6) under it. I really hate Ikariam's help sections.

Then something is wrong cause I have at least 3 cargo ships but it's still telling me I don't have them. Tis queer, no?

New question. What's the difference between a trade ship and a cargo ship? I'm trying to colonize and it's telling me I don't know have trade ships. But I have none. Where are they built at?

It's such a pain in the ass to get marble. And it's so necessary. And yet I find it difficult getting people to buy my glass even though I sell it for dirt cheap. But I also don't mind using my own glass stores to upgrade my military weapons and armor.

I'm going to start diplomacy with you. My name is tkrow and I own the city called Place. Also, to get to the level you are, how did you get marble in the first place? I'm also on a glass island.

Well I still barter for marble. I've always sweet talked a few blokes into giving it to me for free. Some Ikariam members tend to underestimate what a nice friendly message to your neighbor can bring you. But in a day or so I'll be colonizing a marble island. I'm just waiting for my income to go up. I've managed to avoid being attacked simply by continuously spending so I never have a high surplus of goods. Occassionally I've been pillaged only for the attacker to get diddly squat from me.

I guess now it will be nice to have a friend on the .org site. Because until now, I've been essentially on my own.

I decided to start anew, so basically I have a level 3 town, but I need marble to expand it. I can't acquire it via a trading post, since I need a higher level city. So basically, I have no idea how I got around this last time. Also, I seemed to have signed up on www.ikariam.org instead of www.ikariam.com. Is there a difference?

Exact same game. Totally different site. I accidentally signed up on the .org site as well. But now I play accounts on the .org and .com site. Unfortunately, I'm on a glass island and am in constant need of marble too. Soon I'll be colonizing another island though. I'm at 74:76 if you need any assistance.

how much marble do you have? I need about a 1000 since that will keep me good until i get a marble colony.

I could send you 300 marble for now. Sorry, but that's all I can spare at the moment. Just get me your coordinates and I'll get it sent.

I need wine. I'll give you even more marble for it. I'm at 89:31

Soundds like a little kid mistake to me. If he wanted to merely try it, he probably would have PM'd you and apologized. But eitherway, his ungraceful presence will exist no longer! Well, I can't really do anything, lol. Just pillage him a lot of times... If I built an extra level to my palace, then I could take his colony and raze it..

Oh I'm not like saying he was intentionally trying to be rude or that he did anything against the rules. I'm was merely offering a legitimate excuse for you to go to war. But you're the best for attacking him on my behalf.

edit: Yo Siay, have you made your video thread about who won the competition??? o.o'

I just got back from out of town. I promise I haven't forgotten.

Ohh, looks like he has a lot of phalanxes, not good. Although he clearly does not seem very bright, sending phalaxes to attack. As an alliance, we shall attack, and crush this pitiful foe. Onwards, troops!

Yeah, I sent everything I had at him earlier but I knew I wouldn't win any attacks. I was just hoping to soften him up a bit before you got there. But I'm working on rebuilding my army. I have a lot of gold right now. You should let me buy some sulfur from you.

He attacked me with 9 phalanx, 1 ram, and 3 archers.

At sea he attacked me with 3 catapult ships.

While you're blockading him I just sent over 8 ships of my own.

My message to him:


Please tell us if you are continued to be attacked. Otherwise that piece of crap is toast - even ask our loyal general - Archie The Vicious.

Hehe, very nice. Thanks Killer. So far he hasn't attacked me again. Is there a way to tell though if he is blockading my harbor? I'm not sure whether he is or not.

Alright gents, to anyone who's up for it. My town (on Ikariam.com) has finally been attacked. I'm been trying to build up my military and warehouse, but the going has been slow. A neighboring town on my island by the name of ChopnDrop has attacked my village and blockaded my harbor. If anyone wishes to join me in a proxy war, the coordinates are 89:31. My town name is Utopia Planitia. Feel free to message this guy and say what town you are fighting on behalf of.

Any takers?
