I was trying to get a new village, but as i now have a resource capacity of 2300, and a residence level 2 its gonna take a while.
I built a settler yesterday at about 7am, but by 8am, that was gone, along with my first residence, i managed to build that back to level 7, then it got destroyed yet again =(
but anyway, i'll keep trying, maybe when the server restarts i'll be better off!
I'm gunna start upgrading my smaller buildings as it costs less to upgrade them to the equivalent level of other buildings. I'll give my resources a chance to stack up then upgrade alot of stuff before I go to bed. I'll train a couple troops too, I've been attacking some small players (60-120 pop) and I have a feeling some of them will have big friends
Wiped out my 50 Praetorians before I knew what was going on....
but hey look on the bright side, my wheat consumption has dropped with 50 less mouths to feed .:smiles:
Guys, it impedes the ability to raid but the best strategy is to build your crannies and protect your monies if attacked. It's a short term pain but definitely longterm gain. If they decide to comeback regularly then you're wasting your resources building troops. Let's face it, unless you can field at least a few hundred units at the very least, it's a waste sinking your money into them. Build your economy and then field an army when you're strong.
Potsy was getting rolled over and I helped build him 6 crannies. They no longer get a thing from him. Like I said, it hurts the raiding part but let's face it, if a guy with a few villages starts farming you daily, you really don't have a choice in the matter unless things can be handled diplomatically.

For sure. I was building my 4th cranny at the time of the attack. The troops I had were for local raiding to suppliment the Resource pits.
See, building crannies didn't work.
I have 6 at level ten, but their kinda pointless when your warehouse gets virtually destroyed!
Takes away holding capacity, and steals all you have over the limit you have left!
Does anyone know if that is worth the time and resources?
I've definitely been doing it, but I'm not sure of the cost/value of it. I would pick a unit and focus on upgrading them. I did that with Imperians (started by Felix) and its working out well.
level 14. To get to 15 I need (considered you and TBonZ both sent 1K wheat) ~1200 to build it up as I'm going to use the 1K I get from you to revive my hero. 1K from TBonZ will give me around 1K, so 1200 more gives me enough to upgrade my wall to level 15.
I have a lot of wood, clay and iron. Tell me where I should send them. Like you say, I don't want tons of that stuff sitting around temping "more." He scouted me again earlier today with 120+ scouts so I'm sure he's pretty serious about farming me.

I was attacked while on the PA Turnpike..I could do nothing about it
So what should I do now? Build scouts and defenses I guess
I was thinking about building a bunch of praetorians..but I guess that would be a waste.
What about maybe upgrading armor/weapons in the armory and blacksmith? Does anyone know if that is worth the time and resources?
i did try that a while ago, i sent them all to broady, but i was still quite a long way away, but i guess it's closer than i am now tbh!
i'll talk to broady about it
thanks for being so supportive =)
What's up with that?
