    Are you doing anything to Jannis right now?

    Am I doing Senators or catapults to liberate those croppers?

    and can i randomly join in from my capital, sending troops in an assault that'll take about a day to arrive...
    i'm feeling unusually aggressive today :)

    Muffin, are you gonna build a Senator or am I leveling those villages? :p

    You can attack whatever you want... like I said though, won't be much left of this guy afterward, so feel free to take Jannis if you like. I'll probably be hitting him about this time tomorrow anyway.

    It would take an age to build a senator in one of my villages, since my academy is only level 20 in the capital, where all expansion slots are used :(
    My settlers will be ready to take over one of his 9 croppers spaces when it is destroyed.

    will you be attacking his larger or smaller village?
    i have an idea for some fake attacks and 2 real ones striking the smaller of his villages, levelling as much as possible.
    it's inspired by our friend Godsend, who sent single rams to create fake attacks that look like cata attacks.
    he'll panic at the sight of 8 incoming strikes on one village, and 9 on the other :rarr:

    EDIT:
    ok, so it's gonna take 41 hours to hit... by which time he'll be prepared.
    but i'll go for it anyway :)

    I am pulling some forces and should be able to attack him with 1200 paladins in 3 hours. I only have 300 spearmen ready and another 2000 sitting with FreeC8675. That's 7 hrs away.

    I thought I had more available... :(

    The best part is that these two guys are guys that I sent some Free resources to so that Godsend wouldn't get them.

    Muffin, I don't think this is going to require elaborate strategy. I'm not bothering with any fakes; there's not a damn thing he can do.

    No worries, Q.

    I'll just level the two croppers. I could use some offense points anyway. I've been hurting ever since the raiding around Beachhead dried up.

    on the contrary.
    i think the best is this:
    My rally point reports :)
    it's just because i can really... i never use seige equipment anyways.
    well, hardly ever.
    just once in this server, i want to launch a tactical assault...

    I lost 4 Imperians, he lost 4 buildings. That sounds about right.

    -82|326 will be my target today. This time I'm playing for keeps.

    and with my 8 fake attacks headed for that village, he might not see your strike :)

    11 waves en route.

    Wave 1: 5K Imperians, 300 rams, 50 catas
    Waves 2-11: 400 Imperians, 50 catas

    Aiming for Main Building, Sawmill, Woodcutter x4, and then random. Wouldn't want him rebuilding before tomorrow ;)

    -83|329 is a 15-cropper with two 50% wheat oases, currently occupied by an unallied player "kay7". His profile says he's the son of "kay6", but kay6 is a former Hitman that looks like he got decimated.

    I'll open that one up next for whoever wants it after I'm done with Jannis.

    I've lost too many villages to care about strategically stomping some heads. These croppers are potentially prime real estate for our alliance and much too close to allow bad players to keep them.

    I'll take it. I'm training 3 settlers right now. ETA to reach there is about 20 hours though. :(
  • LincLinc Owner Detroit Icrontian
    edited April 2008
    It'll be worth it. It will take me a couple days to clear it anyway.

    FYI, kay7's other village at -82|319 is a 9-cropper with 50% and 25% wheat oases.

    And a 3rd one owned by Kay7 @ -77/326 is also a 15 cropper with 3x 50% oases in the 7x7 with a pop of just 56 !

    at the risk of sounding childish...
    i want one :(

    my settlers are already ready :p
  • LincLinc Owner Detroit Icrontian
    edited April 2008
    Which one should I clear first? Shall I continue wiping Jannis or go for a kay7?
  • QCHQCH Ancient Guru Chicago Area - USA Icrontian
    edited April 2008
    My settlers are ready... Muffin, take the 15-cropper at -77|326 if you take the double wheat at -79|328.

    If you want to take the one 9c and me the other, that's fine too.
  • QCHQCH Ancient Guru Chicago Area - USA Icrontian
    edited April 2008
    Finish the one of the 9 croppers and then the 15 cropper, then back for the other 9 cropper? That work. I can send my settlers to -82|326 in the morning. Cool?

    Q, reread what you wrote in #53. I can't figure out what word you omitted where, but it's not clear who's taking what.

    And don't forget it takes me 12 hours per round of attacks. My troops aren't even back yet. :p This is going to take a few days at this rate. I'll finish off that same 9-cropper then go after kay7.
  • QCHQCH Ancient Guru Chicago Area - USA Icrontian

    I didn't write that!!! :D

    I meant to say, Muffin can take the 15-cropper and then the oasis at -79|328 in exchange I'll take one of the 9-croppers and one or two of the double wheat oasis.

    OR we can just share the double wheats and the two 9-croppers.



    That translated?

    Funny, he sent me a message today offering to send back the resources that he took from me. I basically told him where to shove it since he repayed my generosity by attacking me when I was down... He said that I should have you guys attack the guy that attacked me first, not him... LOL

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say -82|326 is gonna be open by 6:12:04 am.

    600 catas in 20 waves.

    Yeah, probably enough.

    OK, in the morning I'll check in. it's a 29 hour run. I might just finish my development at the outpost and dispatch from there. 29 hours is a REALLY long time!!!

    i kinda want a 9-cropper, since they're easier to build up and i want it to be my capital.
    15c's are too difficult to manage in the short term...

    (-81,325) is what i have my eyes on, and one 50% wheat oasis will do me fine.

    another thing to note is Jannis-the-king just made a new village at (-81,326)
    only 10 pop at the moment, but it will have to be taken care of at some point.
