We have competition for the position that we have our eyes on, (-125,125)

DTD, our old friends, want it.

Their leader is 23 minutes away from me, should I drop them a line or fire in my macemen? ;)

    Well, i dont think we'll have any competition from them because crackers now (Pulsar) is leader of their South east alliance (Its crap. 4 players.. but still dtd). So i doubt he will allow any hostilities from them.

    That makes little sense to me...

    The NW wing/s are still going to try to take our area, and have found a 15 cropper (that knowledge will come in handy, Q might want that one ;))

    Should we look for a new location or should we just take them out and farm?

    As I mentioned in a previous thread there are two 9C and two 15C in my
    7 x 7. Maybe of interest. -41/60

    So the general consensus so far seems to be 'death to DTD'

    Since we wasted our time with them last round, I guess it's justified ;)

    Is it taking it too far to suggest we all look up the nearest DTD members and strike them down to farms tomorrow?
    Anyone? :p

    As I posted before the server started... -165|165 will be my powerbase or close to that.

    pay attention, first come, first served.
    and you may not wish to settle on that as your 2nd village, as a 15c in the middle of nowhere has no chance at all.
    Which is why I have my eyes on a nearby 9c to settle first.

    When we get closer to actually sending settlers, it will NOT be first come first serve. We will do as we did last server, we will call the locations and the ETA to settle the village.

    I will not have this alliance torn apart with internal strife by backstabbing each other.

    Smart call, I must say I don't like that colour though.
    Maroon... Skullgaffer will know what I'm on about :p

    I think I'll settle for the nearby 9c I spotted with 125% bonus.
    No doubt we're not the only people to spot that cropper, so I'm thinking my local domination plan may be the best to try for.

    Once I get rid of one stupid local... Some of you may have seen him raid me overnight.
    (He's on a personal hit-list now ;))


    Tom and Saracen, you should decide between you which 15c you're each going for.
    If it comes to it, I'll toss a coin ;)

    i think we need to settle quickly as quite a few alliances want the spot.

    You should decide who's most likely to... 'be better' at having the cropper.

    Lol.... this is a real can of worms, so I'm going to predict DOOM!

    IF anyone manages to get settlers in time to take the ONLY 15c with 150% wheat in the whole NW... they'd have to be prepared to invest the EXTREME ammounts of Gold to get it running without any support nearby.... Think 1000's and 1000's just to get it up and running. If you don't... it'll drain your resources, you'll never build warehouses let alone defensive troops let alone offensive troops.

    Then there's the problem that there's more than just 3 people in this Alliance want that cropper..... Every ex-Myth player in the quadrant has their eye on it too, and even if you get there first they're not going to give up! Could you defend it if someone tried to conquer it tomorrow? No, because if you've got a warehouse big enough to hold 7k iron (which you need for settlers) and a residence up to Lvl 10, you've not got 1k Praet lying around!!! Building a Village nearby isn't an option because someone who WILL spend 10k Gold will just settle it straight away, and then you're stuck with a 2nd Village in the 7x7 of the most excessively intense player on the server.

    So if you can't defend it from conqueing it HAS to be the capital.... not that that will really help when catas start raining in from every member in [ONE] because they want it as a WW_Hitman's base...

    Realistically it'd take this entire Alliance to defend that particular cropper... I'm just not sure it's worth it!

    Those be my thoughts anyway!

    LOL, I know.
    It was "pie in the sky" but I have no intention of going for it.
    As you said, half the NW will have spotted it and the larger Alliances will have the clout to hold it.

    Feel free to take it tttooommm10, I doubt you would keep it for long though.

    One of the 15C in my 7 x 7 has been taken by Chicks who has already attacked me this morning from there. I am currently building fields up and ensuring crannies cover higher than what I can hold. I am not building troops, as the area is and will be too 'hot' for me. Being that there are still 2 9C's and another 15C available. This early in the game I don't want to be constantly monitoring the account and sending troops out.

    Are we going to -165/165 as an outpost/stronghold ?

    Chicks attacked me from the first village she had yesterday, and twice today from that 15C. She seems pretty well placed with some of the top 6 players who are part of -?-. Plus I have kaiser sauzé next door who drops by daily :(
    Tiresome................
