Nose Bloodying / Safe House / Defensive Mercenaries!

Hello :)!

SillyViking, TBonZ, BuddyJ and I are planning to start building defensive troops TODAY. Between us we should have approx 200 troops stationed a Saracen's SC1 by midnight uk time. He has a jolly big city wall for them to hide behind!

Plan is for any players who want to build defensive troops, without having them picked off a few at a time, to send to Saracen, making his Village impenetrable and thus keep each other alive! By Sunday, we hope to have enough troops there that we can Bloody the nose of everyone attacking Duchess, making her the "safe Village" for a day or two! She will also have a Jolly Big Wall! After that, we should have each built up enough troops to defend ourselves rather well, or we can continue to work as a unit, bloodying noses of ANYONE who attacks {IC}, which'd be nice :) !

Anyone else in :) ? I know most of you are working on offence, but anyone who's been having trouble building an army... this is the plan for you :D ! Build a defence, we'll all kill your attackers, you become the attacker!

NB: If you're sending troops... be sure to send enough Wheat to cover their daily consumption... preferable MORE than cover their daily consumption to make up for anyone that forgets!

    are we doing this in conjunction with teutons counter attacking with raids?

    Well, this is to build up the defensive armies, so that when it comes to it we'll be able to cover both offensive and defensive fronts.

    You can't rely too much on counter-attacks, neither can you depend solely on defense to protect you forever.

    To my mind, not yet! I'll settle for stopping attacks, world domination needs a stable base!

    Teutons can get away with attacking from the off! Us poor Gauls have to rely on Crannies and fields to begin, then probably a decent defence, THEN start with the sword and TTs and get some revenge :D!

    Teutons have Mace, we have cheap settlers and great merchants, it's part of the "joy of Travian" :) !

    I've just started building my defensive army today and I'd feel happier if I knew they were safe.

    I haven't had any problems with people raiding me but it only takes one attack for me to lose all my troops, so I'll be sending my troops there for safety.

    What's the wheat situation like at SC1? I aim to have at least 35 phalanxes by tonight so I hope they'll all fit in along with the other troops.

    I started building my Phalanx this morning and should be up to almost 100 in total by tonight. Maybe that will be too much to send alongside of all the other troops? Although, I will send crop if we start running into negative numbers.

    Oh yes! Wheat! I should have said! Saracen's not a Soup Kitchen, so send enough to cover the consumption of any troops you send!

    I'll add that to my initial post now too!

    I have a 4K granary currently holding 1.3K but I'm producing +378/hr.
    Want to get the wall up another level to L10 before this evening so any contributions most welcome.
    A bit from everyone sending me their troops will also allow me to up two more wheat fields so I can maintain a healthy balance with the predicted numbers of incoming troops.

    I have the crannies to protect it all through the night, my only concern is Palmer from [ONE]L who seems to make a daily visit which is yet to materialize today but hopefully he'll get "None of your soldiers have returned" if he does visit !

    EDIT: and any scouts most welcome, just in case.

    Looks like it will be a L11 Wall later this evening.

    Don't forget, any excess you got send it along and I'll NPC it to balance the numbers.

    Thanks must goto the following contributors: (so far)

    I won't be ready to train any troops for close to a week. I want to focus on building up my resource fields, my wall, my main building and of course my barracks so that it doesn't take 9 minutes to train a legionnaire or a praetorian.

    Alright, I'll have 85 Phalanx to throw into the mix to meet the midnight ETA. I just queued the last troops and will send a merchant with resource before my troops land.

    Saracen, just sent out a merchant to you with: 250/250/250/500

    82 troops on the way, arriving in two groups at midnight and the other a half hour later. Unless I'm told otherwise, I'm going to build 100 total and send you the rest when they are done.

    My 35 phalanxes will be there at midnight.

    I'll also be sending 350 wheat to tide them over through the night.

    THIS... is looking like a rather impressive defence! Especially given that it's taken less than a day to put together!
