What we did is pacify the big guys by being overall good guys. The jerks like godsend are really the only reason we're not already in the top 100. Imagine if we had a nice strong powerbase AND outpost. We could be funneling resources from the outpost to the powerbase and sending troops to the outpost to rest. We could have fielded massive armies much closer to the action than trying to fight from long range.
I'm sure godsend is the main reason we're not already in the top 100. How many villages did we all lose to him, 8? More? I mean, mine was pretty small since I got there later but still I had a population of 400 something and an army 2100+ strong in just that village.
I'd like to contact TSN SE 2, TSN SE, and possibly the rest of their coalition regarding an alliance. They have a powerbase just to our south east that puts them in singular position for us to be of assistance to each other.
//edit: WOW, actually, they have an even bigger powerbase a bit more south and east from there (actually, they pretty much own everything southeast of us in this quadrant). Maybe we should consider attempting to wing with them? No one from FEAR replied to my messages, and Zero is clearly a dead issue at present.
Just looked at several of the TSN wings and we are a good fit. Seems that they have a few great players then a few small players. If we can become a wing, we may be able to grab an alliance with several oif the SPQR wings and then with Fear. THAT would put us into the end game!!!
I've contacted Kamikaze regarding an alliance, so please avoid them if you weren't already.
Also contacted TSN's diplomat:
Hi ms b havin,
I've noticed that TSN's powerbase is relatively close to our own powerbase, and TSN SE (2)'s powerbase is even closer. The composition of TSN SE 2's members is also remarkably similar to our own.
Would the TSN coalition be willing to ally with us?
Our alliance started later than many on the server, but we've handled ourselves quite well, I think, and are climbing the ranks at a steady pace. Our alliance also has exceptional cohesiveness as the key players have been friends for many years outside Travian. Despite this, as we understand the realities of the end-game, we're seeking to join a coalition, potentially as a wing alliance, and TSN seems a good fit for us if you're amenable to it.
even if we weren't allied, i would recommend against it anyway. they're a pretty big alliance and stealing a village is seen as an ultimate act of war, and you and quite possibly all of us would find ourselves under assault from all of vanguard almost instantly
We are now allied with Kamikaze and their leader is quite excellent. We've exchanged quite a few messages. Interesting to note that while they are allied with Myth (they were being courted as a wing early on) they have troubles with Zero as well.

Awesome and I think we've heard enough to surmise that Zero has a problem with Zero.
I dont know whether we can apply a bit of pressure on Kamikaze but one of their members, "fofo", is hitting a neighbor of Duchess hard,
Duchess's neighbor is "Slaytanic" from Van Ns|W
the attacker is "fofo" from Kamikaze
As we ally with both, could we arbitrate some sort of truce as Slytanic could prove useful for hiding troops, drip feeding wheat etc. in our defence of Marpesia ?

take it easy on the guy!
and besides, it could've been an aggravated attack.
No matter, he's gone and formed his own alliance now.
especially since he just lost so much!

Pop the question!!!
Also contacted TSN's diplomat:
even if we had a wing that was allied with a wing of Vanguard, it WOULD classify as a FF breach for us to attack any of Vanguard, and vice versa.
TFN has offered us an alliance. Are they close to any of you? They're quite small.
some of their villages are moderate distance, a few hours, from my capital, but i say it's not worth it for us.
Holy crap, look at the attack logs. Deutscher is farming the hell out of a TFN player and getting big resource. Guess they have their answer.
