1) I'm not a "hardcore" gamer, so when I do play, it's invariably a solo game. And not very often, at that.
2) Because of (1) above, the last time I tried an online game, I think it was a 12 year old kid in Omaha that clobbered me in short order.

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.

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.

Currently at 8,7,5. From the looks of things it doesn't pay to upgrade the Iron mines until the timber and clay are upgraded- I haven't run out of Iron yet.
Yes... keep Timber and Clay about two levels above Iron until you start building things that require more Iron.

I'm trying to build up troops right now because there are 4 villages real close to me between 50-75pts that will come out of noob protection tomorow.

I'm farming like six of them right now, it kinda dwarfs my asset abilities(12/10/5). So far I've been able to balance my expenditures real well. Wood is in high demand.

2. Tell him I'm done attacking him as he's proven to be an active village
3. Milk him like a bitch.
I currently have a lvl 7 wall and keep about 75 swords in the village, nothing near me is going to be a threat for awhile
Post by: Mabs2 on June 29, 2007, 11:19:47 AM
Sent 30 spearmen to a low level village nearby...expecting it to be unmanned.
He had about 25 or so spearmen. Managed to kill about half but lost all mine.
So I sent about 20 axemen and a couple of light cavalry.
They took out the last 7 spearmen and brought back 223 of each resource...
Then I sent 30 spearmen and 25 swordsmen to clean up. Getting about 400 of each resource.

How do you get scouts or other weapons. I can't find anything that says how.
Actually it says in the documentation that to research scouts you need a stable.
A stable needs: Barracks (Level5), Smithy (Level5), Village Headquarters (Level10)
The smithy is actually the research building. Once you have the stable built, you click on the smithy and research the scouts. After that, get the stable up to level 3 for light cavalry. It's also where you can research axes if you want to.

Grow, build. Eventually raid everybody around you that's weaker than you. Personally, I'm raiding over 30 villages more or less daily. I've driven two active players out of my little domain.

Yes. Don't become a farm.
Join a clan, that helps. Build defenses, but don't go crazy on them. Pay attention to others around you. Communicate with them, that can frequently help.
Creating your own clan doesn't help, players can see who's a member, and it's patently obvious when you're the only member of your tribe. There's a half dozen who tried it with me. Didn't work. There were another four or so that had clans of two members. When I have twice the points of both of them combined...
On the other hand, I avoid people who are members of 100k point clans.
Still the element of luck, of course.
BTW, I'm up to over 40 villages. I'm the nasty guy you have to worry about. Being a member of a large clan is your best protection.

What does a clan do for you? The help files indicate that joining a tribe is good, but it doesn't say why.
What tribe should I join?
What tribe should I join?
Think of them like allies. Anybody attacks you, they're supposed to help. The big thing it does is that if you join a large enough one, it'll stop or at least delay people like me from sending 600+ troopers, rams, and catapults to attack your village. I'll steal all your resources, kill all your soldiers, knock your wall down, use my catapults to destroy your barracks/stable/Farm/Village HQ.
Once I've done that, you can't produce any troops, if you're large enough you'll have to build a farm before you can rebuild your barracks to even start rebuilding your troops. BTW: I'd still be raiding you during this.
I'm still a member of FAN, but as noted here, there's been a schizm. We're still pretty large, over 100k points. If you want to be a member, send me an in-game email(I'm Firethorn there too).

Boy, don't I sound like a mean nasty character.
Still, the fact is that this is a game, and by design you have to be a mean nasty machivellian figure in order to compete. I gain more during an hour of raiding than I do in a day from my personal mines - And they're level 20+.

I'd suggest waiting in the future until you have at least 30...
Spearmen tend to fall on their own spears when not in a big group. There's no other explanation, given that they're attacking somewhere with no wall or troops.

I have enough of the buggers now to send 30 or 40 on each raid and still leave behind enough to defend my own village while they're gone. The payback is much bigger now that I have more people to carry resources back. And firethorn is right, once you get above about 30 spearmen per attack you're much less likely to lose one in the process.
I still don't have the nerve to try attacking a defended village.

I started harvesting nearby villages when I only had 5 or 10 spearmen to spare. It worked well enough, even though I usually lost a man each time. I was careful to pick villages I knew were undefended.

Once you get the smithery up, build a few swordsmen, their greater offense will put an end to the spearman problem. Axemen when you get them, as axemen are both as fast as spears and have more offense. Can't carry much though. I personally think light calvary is the best for raiding. 30 of them can clean out a completely stocked 50 point village.

I've been on a rampage the last 3 days: been trying to wipe out a village every day. I killed a 800+ point village last night a 300pt village today and a 500pt village 2 days ago
I invited a friendly village right next to mine to join FAN- he lives on the other side of the world, so he keep hammering the villages that I crush while I'm away sleeping or working and he scouts new villages for me to attack. The 800pt village that I crushed had a large warehouse and 15+ on each of their mines.$$$$$$ (for attacks at my level, I'm using several hundred axes with scores of cats and rams to get the job done and my boys home safely)Don't get caught with your pants around your ankles. If someone scouts you, and you have vast resources and only 50 spears guarding the loot, it'd be my pleasure to use show how the catapults and rams work

Since I'm unemployed in real life, I'm busily building up my resources and defenses.
Everybody around me is a 69 pt village or so.
Be happy to join a tribe if I get an invite!

My village is anticipating an incoming attack for the first time! I might get wiped out, he's about ten times my size. But it'll be fun!!!!I just might be able to leave a wound that'll fester 'til it claims him...

Aww.... I'm known...
I missed this thread earlier. I can't access the game site at the moment, so I'll petition once I'm back home.

Just a reminder... we're on World 8, 9, and 10 8 has the biggest FAN presence, but we need more people on 9 and 10 to dominate! Always in the SE quadrant. And send me an IM in-game for an invite... I check my villages a few times a day.

Sorry, I'm only on world 8. I'm #4, have three villages, and no time to try to manage two different worlds.

I am also sitting for Drewtam's account. Which is growing and kicking butt too.
Client32: He did not want your guys killed in the attack so he sent them home. I guess he recalled your support before he decided to dodge the attack.

I'll be building an academy tomorrow and start nobling villages soon.
I crushed this 250 pt village near me...killed all his troops and smashed his wall, HQ, bks, and farm with rams and cats over and over, several times a day until he gave up and quit. Now I get to farm about 5K of resources per day from him. It was good practice for nobling. I have yet to be attacked, or even scouted.
I made a new friend of a player nearby in my tribe who's just a bit bigger than me. We trade resources and have tripwires in place. I account sat for him last week, it was easy.
Fun game...my first online gaming experience.

My village is up to 2,600 pts.

First, I recommend going after someplace larger than a 250 point village. The time needed to build the new village up will be huge. I made that mistake for my first nobling. I actually ended up building my second academy at my third village, and still haven't done it for the second.
My fourth noble was a 3k point village. That, for some reason, was less defended than some 500 point villages I've seen. I'm currently building troops up to take another 3k village, this one fairly well defended. Of course, I'm also going to be hitting the pop cap in about three days(maxed out farm), so I'll have troopers to burn, as my barrack and stable are also maxed out. Takes very little time to churn out axemen/light calvary. I'm currently building up my workshop to turn out rams/catapults quickly as well. Need more to knock down level 20 walls effectivly.
Right now I'm having to concentrate on resource generation; I have enough active players around me now that my raids aren't as productive as they used to be. Plus, four villages to keep stocked up.
My first village is now effectivly my offensive village, with the second being defensive(spears, swords, and scouts). Third is mixed(LC for raiding, otherwise defensive), fourth is shaping up to be defensive as well.
I may just end up attacking some village with 4k spearmen just to get rid of them; though I'd prefer an attrition system.

I sent him packing, crying for his momma.I'll scout around for a prospect for nobling. There's a 439 pt abandoned village not too far from me.

I volunteer myself, or at least my village, for your target practice.
Send you Noble my way. I'll send all my troops away, just to be sure.

Ok, I am entering my third day. I can only build two spearmen. Is there a trick I am missing to get that cap raised?
Edit: I think I mis-read the thing. It isn't a cap after all.
Post by: Fjolnirsson on September 02, 2007, 10:52:24 PM
Anyhow, get your wall t level 20 asap, it raises the defensive capability of your troops. Next, you want your spears leveled up to 3, and then swords to 3. You want one sword and one spear for every point of your village. Those are basics, there's a lot more to learn, but that'll get you started..I'll see about getting you that invite...
Post by: SomeKid on September 02, 2007, 11:04:41 PM
However, I can get it up a few levels. Plus, I am getting the hang of this I think.
Bout how many troopers am I going to need to secure the place?
Post by: Fjolnirsson on September 02, 2007, 11:13:39 PM
Check the tribal forums for the tips area, and pay close attention to what is posted there...People who are active in the forums get help a bit easier.
Post by: SomeKid on September 02, 2007, 11:27:13 PM
However, I am going to go nuts on spearmen/swordsmen. How many of each is good to have?

I sent some troops at an abandoned town. Is there any way to monitor them, or will I simply find out the results later?
