Are oases worth capturing? I have a few close by that remain unconquered, but it would take me a while to build an army large enough to kill all of the animals in them (that is unless my guildies are feeling charitable)
They add 25% increased production to a particular resource for that village. However, if someone attacks your oases, they take 10% of your resources from the village that owns it. (You can, however, release the oasis if that becomes a recurring problem). I'm conquering them with reckless abandon, myself.
I have one and it has really helped with my Iron output. I'm over 3k per hour when it should only be 2k.
But, yes, if someone attacks it and wins, I lose a ton. I keep my resources low so that won't happen and I have been fortifying the oasis to prohibit losing.
I don't think I'll have to worry about anyone attacking it for a long while. The only threat in the area I've already talked to and we..basically made a NAP. So in like three days I'll probably have my first oasis I imagine getting a hero building to level 10 is going to take a long time and way more resources than I have.
It might be a better use of time to build resources and resource-enhancing buildings before taking an oasis. I regard oases as icing once you're in a good position
Yep... same with building an army. Unless you can build a 100+ army within a day, don't bother. The only use is to farm abandoned or very weak neighbors. If you think 25 troops will mean anything to a guy sending 1000... nope.
Side note... a2jfreak was successfully defended. Billybob suffered considerable damages. He just might layoff for a while.
All right fine :o
I'm just getting bored with waiting for resources to stockpile, I wanted to do something interesting
btw I made my first imperian! woohoo!
HOLY cow, a2jfreak... BillyBob lost over 570,000 worth of resources!!! The combined defenders suffered a bit over 275,000 worth. Not a bad defense. My hero shot up almost 2 levels also... that was a nice bonus.
OK {IC} Alliance. This guys failed for many reasons. According to the FAQ's and the forums, you do NOT attack the way he did. Three waves is great.
First you need to eliminate the defending troops. That should be the biggest number of troops but NO catapults. (He didn't = FAIL)
Wait until the second wave to use your siege engines but make sure you have some troops with the catapults to protect them.
Third wave should be a Chieftain, Senator, or Chief and some more troops to lower the moral of the village.
The real kicker... you cannot take over the capital. All he could do is set it back to the stone age. A true waste of resources and time.
If this joker and his friends stop using me as their personal farm I can build up my army and repay the debt.
The debt has been paid. By joining us, our alliance is stronger and that shows in the rankings. That makes us a bit safer... besides, if I need help, I expect that my fellow IC members will come to rescue me...
My city wall is at level 11. I think that helped a good bit. My Stonemason is at level 7. Not sure if that helped . . . probably not much if at all.
I have to admit. Your crew and especially Matt's crew are a bunch of hungry pigs! I can farm enough wheat to feed you guys, but goodness gracious you boys can eat!

I started raiding but made the mistake of attacking a Gaul and he trapped 5 of my soldiers. If I send the other 6 back again to attack, will they be freed or will more get trapped?
Any resource help to continue increasing my production rate would be appreciated... I can now hold 6300 of each (except wheat) and I have about 500 of each...

Also, can anyone spare more resources?
If his trappers have space for your other additional 6, they'll be trapped also. If he doesn't, at least one of your soldiers has to survive to release the trapped ones.
How do reports of scouts work? I've sent out scouts of neighbors and thought it said that they had resources, but when I attack it says that my troops come back with 0 resources...

Maybe he saw that you were attacking and spent the resources, sent them away or had a bunch of granaries.
So when is a good time to start building troops? After getting a few level 10 resource spots?
Right now I don't have any spots above level 6, but this is what I make per hour:
303 wood
339 clay
288 iron
179 wheat (varies of course..I consume 196/375 as of time of posting)
I had one guy pm me asking not to raid him anymore..so now I'm down to only one farm until the 5th when about 4 or 5 people around me lose protection.

1500 on its way, be there in 1 hour 30. I have to upgrade my market to send more than that at a time

Thanks again, guys!

Only 63% health, though.
