    Same as Haru, village number 3 I hope to be atleast a 9 cropper
    I'm making the jump tonight. I found a 9-cropper near my 15-cropper if you're interested (~8 squares away)

    Fail! I'm short on culture points! Blast.

    Pump Core2 up and I can grab it tonight!!! I have enough Culture points. It's an option. She can hold 14000 of each. I need a total of 59,000 to be able to start training settlers. It's an offer...

    I have a lot of resources, but not THAT much :eek3:

    I'll just post the coords to the 9-cropper then and whoever claims it gets it ;) Sorry if it seems a little greedy to take the 15-cropper myself but it took a lot of scouting to find it :o

    OK... I actually only need about 20K, the rest should be easy. I'm already generating 4k per hour there. :thumbsup:

    I've been looking and I found TWO 15 croppers one space apart and NOT taken. However,there is a guy right around there. Wu-Tang. He is part of the DTD-2nd - DTD Combined

    Perhaps we build and then all alliance members able to send reinforcements and wood/clay/iron do. Then we can secure the villages and supply it with resources so it can build up its own army.

    I'm willing to either 1) build there or 2) send wood/clay/iron to whomever does. I don't have many troops, but I could send 100 Imperians to help fortify.

    Have no doubt: he knows they are there and is building up his resources in the villages around them to take them (probably a very sound strategy, though I wouldn't have done 3; more likely two). If you move there, you WILL have to defend yourself from a never-ending assault from him. It is definitely a very strategic position, though.

    //edit: Whoa! It's just 5 spaces from bobthelover. You couldn't PAY me to move in next to that guy on purpose. He was farming my only oasis (with 3000 troops!) when I took over the account from Felix, but soon stopped of his own accord. His original village is very close to Beachhead.

    Where to move then?
  • LincLinc Owner Detroit Icrontian
    edited March 2008
    I was planning a move to the 15-cropper at -69|253 around 1 AM tonight. :ninja: There is also a 9-cropper at -71|261.
  • LincLinc Owner Detroit Icrontian

    Are you not amenable to that? It looks pretty safe and isn't TOO far from our powerbase. Lots of oases, too.

    //edit5: Here's what I've found in the area:

    9-croppers:
    -71|261
    -84|282
    -77|313
    -78|297
    -84|265

    15-croppers:
    -69|253
    -74|264
    -71|267
    -72|281 - Keebler?
    -74|281 - Keebler?
    -68|283
    -85|280

    You move and I'll be right behind!!!:rarr:

    Headed to: -72|281

    I THINK that makes -84|282 the nearest 9-cropper that I know of, if that's what you're after. (Note that I have NOT scouted east of that position very well - it's possible there are more in that direction)

    30 hours! :eek3:

    As long-term strategy, I think the rest of my villages for the foreseeable future will go out there. Hopefully a second 15-cropper and a "regular" one to help supply them locally.

    Do you want me to take the other 15 cropper at -74|281?

    EDIT>> On my way there now. 13 hours!!!

    Q and I are set up at the outpost. I have scouts on the way. I expect it will be the weekend before I have any real troops being made out there :-/

    Man... in the matter of an hour or two, I had more wheat than I can handle. ;D Figures that what a 15-cropper is good for. :D

    I have 2 granaries at my 9- and 15-cropper in the powerbase. The NPC Merchant becomes immensely useful with 160,000 wheat ;)

    Yup. 3 gold for freeing up tens-of-thousands of resources is definitely worth it to me. :)

    Well, gold is valuable to me as I can't buy any more of it :tongue:

    Founding village 8 at -68|283 in 14 hours. I actually have 2 sets ready, but I need to continue working on my culture points before creating village 9.
  • LincLinc Owner Detroit Icrontian

    Founding village [strike]nine[/strike] seven at -72|282 as soon as my settlers are done. Apparently losing a village frees up your residence to found a new village in its place.

    ooo, i can see the outpost and the powerbase on the map :O

    i can also see myself, and there's noone for about 13 squares from my 9c/15c combo area :)

    if anyone else wishes to join me, feel free.
    there can be more than one outpost if the alliance grows large enough!

    I'd still move to the outpost so we can send resources and troops in the matter of seconds instead of hours.
