I'm attacking my first village!!!

It's abandoned and I only sent one spearman because I'm scared BUT YEA!!!

I tried that,but it wasn't marked abandoned, and was hit by that it's under newbie protection.

If I'd known that I wouldn't have bothered with the city wall! Noticed the graphic changed for my city hall at level five, and my smithy(required for swordsmen) is under construction.

Same.
I find myself much more addicted to this game than I thought I'd be.
It's like a huge MMO version of Seven Kingdoms (amazing game btw).

I may try it later, but right now I'm thoroughly distracted by Aces High 2.

I hate you, this game is kicking my ass. undecided

5 day newbie protection. I am throwing everything into ramping up production.

Mabs2 · « **Reply #31 on:** June 23, 2007, 10:13:56 AM »

Yea, I made the mistake of doing a few other things before maxing resource production so I'm having a bit of a hard time now...but I don't think I'm too bad off.

jnojr · « **Reply #32 on:** June 23, 2007, 03:34:41 PM »

I just sent a bunch of invites. If I missed anyone, send me a message in the game. Or, find any village in the FAN alliance and send them a message... tell them I referred you, and what your favorite gun is

That ought to be a good password

jnojr,

Your invite said something about getting our score to 8/8/6. What's that mean?

Mabs2 · « **Reply #34 on:** June 24, 2007, 04:19:22 AM »

That means upgrading your timber and clay camps to 8 and your iron mine to 6.

And since I'm here, I'll add I successfully raided my first abandoned village last night. Got about 250 of each resource with no losses.

Fly320s · « **Reply #35 on:** June 24, 2007, 05:53:34 AM »

Hmmm.

I raided an abandoned village, too. But I lost two of my spearmen and only gained a handful of resources.

I raided with 10 spearmen, lost 1, came home with 75 each of the resources.

If you read into the help documents; raiding with lots of spearmen makes sense; you're less likely to loose troops and they can haul back more

Each spearman can haul 25 resources, swordsmen can only care 15, axemen 10.

I made back more than enough to cover the lost spearman, but I'm building more for more effective raiding. The fact that I'll be able to raid closer villages soon is a good thing. I figure that raids with 100 spearmen should be very productive, rather than hauling back 75 of each resource I'd be able to haul back nearly 800. Time to upgrade the warehouse when I start getting up there...

Raids with 50 might be better though, more likely to get a complete haul, as the raidees only have so many goods, and my warehouse can only contain so much.

Mabs2 · « **Reply #37 on:** June 24, 2007, 08:36:04 AM »

Had another successful raid.
290 of each resource.
30 spearmen and 8 swordsmen.
No lossess still.

wmenorr67 · « **Reply #38 on:** June 24, 2007, 10:38:32 AM »

Same here 320. This game is a little time consuming and the build and resource times is quickly taking some of the fun out of it.

Mabs2 · « **Reply #39 on:** June 24, 2007, 12:12:56 PM »

yea I agree.
The waiting is annoying, but at least I have other stuff I can do.
Just had my fourth raid, no losses so far. Another 290x3 resources.

That's pretty much what I do. A quick review, set some stuff to building, off to doing other things.

Just finished my first raid. Didn't net me anything worthwhile.

Have you folks figured out how luck is determined? I lost 2 units in the raid against an undefended village. In the report it said my luck was -23 or some such. I guess the units tripped and fell on their own swords? grin

Anyway, still waiting for an invite.

If you massivly outpoint your enemy it decreases your morale, but I'm not sure about luck.

As for netting stuff, you have to have enough units to haul stuff back. A spear guy can carry 25 units, swordsman 15, axeman 10. So if you need 12 spear guys to haul 100 of each resource back.

Mabs2 · « **Reply #44 on:** June 24, 2007, 05:51:45 PM »

I raided a village, 100% successful.
No losses on my side, no army at all on the other.
The other village came out 1.2% lucky. o_o

Warbow · « **Reply #48 on:** June 25, 2007, 09:39:01 AM »

That was fast. Thanks.

I'm going to 8/8/6 as suggested first thing. What's recommended after that?

Warbow · « **Reply #49 on:** June 25, 2007, 09:56:27 AM »

Nevermind! Just read the Startup Guide post in our Tribal Forum. Good info.
