im bumped up RIGHT next to flint. my village is named accordingly. it might not be the smartest decision, but i want to focus on my main village. i only want to have to put focus on that one when it gets high in production or i think my main one is in danger.

You think I haven't noticed? It's a perfectly fine decision; like I said, it's probably the safest place you could possibly found a village. I'm building Flint into an impenetrable fortress full of nasty Praetorian surrounded by more resources and more Praetorian and more level 20 walls
should i go all out off/defensive in that village?
That's up to you. If you go offensive, please make sure your next village at the outpost has defensive troops. Everyone needs to be able to defend themselves to at least some extent.
Muffin makes a good point, though. There's not much to attack out here that Q and I aren't sorting out, heh.
I figure we can offer another Coalition our defensive troops in the end game. Natars can field over 100,000 troops so if we can offer 50K and wheat to a Wonder village, that should help.
They can be... they're not inherently aggressive but by nature, if someone messes with them, they come and lay the smack down. We are beginning to be of similar mindset. We had to lay down the LAW when CrazyJoe was attacked by a player with no support. Between Keebler and a few others, their villages no longer exist.
The difference, we don't go looking for that type of thing. It is a reaction based war. What we've found is that there are some real jerks that will attack just because. No strategical rational, just to flex their muscles. Peleus, GoDsenD,and a few others come to mind. If a player from a weak alliance tries that against one of us, we have the power to obliterate them without too much to worry. Myth and Zero are big enough that we cannot do that. We bring that much to bare and they will escalate. For now,we must run around between your villages to reinforce against attacks. It's working now. I think many Zero and Myth guys have been stung by the {IC} sword... and won't come back until they decide to wipe us all out.
Don't take these until I'm done supper and can check them again. My buddy R-DAWG is going to settle his second 6-cropper tomorrow, so I'm reserving the croppers for the moment.
Checking back (page 12), my claim did come before yours, but had I noticed I probably would have asked again before taking it. I was in a rush to get there because Valarius (sp?) had settlers on the way. It's a sweet deal...hotly contested.
I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but lets not "reserve" or "call for" more than one spot UNLESS all the spots we're "calling for" are in the same 7x7.
Terry is calling for spots in the same 7x7, so I'm not posting this to point a finger. I'm just posting it because I think people will start to get pissy about locations as 9- and 15-croppers become increasingly rare and if someone "claims" a spot (while claiming 5 other spots too) it can lead to a bunch of crap that this alliance doesn't need.
//Edit: Terry, if you need wheat, go ahead and log on in about 35 mins (that's when C-Minor's merchants get back) and start sending yourself wheat.
Thanks Adam. I got the wheat under control now finally. Those 15 croppers are amazing, I can't build troops fast enough! Also, the trade office really allows some huge shipments, what a help.
I'd say yes except a2j is already out there anyway
Why are you putting your outpost villages so far apart? Having villages next to each other enhances your options significantly, both for resources and defense. If you make that jump I would put the rest of your villages by existing ones after that.
It was a 15-cropper with a 100% wheat oasis. Too tempting to pass! Besides it's < 18m the way the merchant walks. My next village in the outpost will probably split the difference between the two.

Tom, there's a problem there, I'm about to go for that last iron oasis @ -55/282
especially if it's the winner we help!
but we're not gonna back them...
maybe back a Zero dude, then we could win over their hearts... or something. lol

Edit - Actually, I did reserve. Please don't take any of these other until I access which cropper Dawg should take.
These two sites reserved for Dawg. Hopefully they aren't already called.
-87|270 - 15 cropper
-89|271 - 9 cropper

EDIT: Reserving -80|273.
