I'm attacking right now with 120 spearmen and 4 light calv. No losses so far, I find that the fewer you send the more likely you are to loose somebody. With that many I generally clear out the village.

*heh* the village directly next to mine (literally... adjacent square) made the mistake of dropping out of his tribe...

I'm trying to start a protection racket in my neighborhood with 2 noob tribes that I've been farming who have suddenly started growing. Its fun letting them decide if they want to pay a tax or be annihilated grin

I highly reccomend scouts. I just got them.
I found a 120pt village nearby with 10,000 total resources with nothing defending it.
Mine mine all mine!!!! laugh

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.

Thanks for the info and link. I think this game is going to be very addicting.

I've joined, user name Iapetus, village name Orgrimmar.

Not sure how much I'll be able to play, as I've got quite a lot of important stuff going on in real life at the moment, and when I am gaming, its mostly World of Warcraft (as you might have guessed if you recognised my village name).

I joined and let the engine pick me a village at random. Anyone know if I can create a second village in the same world?

Can't create a second village; can take one over with enough effort. It takes a noble, which is incredibly expensive.

Anybody know the reason for the mass exodus? Over the last day, close to 40 members have left the tribe....Makes me nervous...

Apparently issues such as what caused the opening of this forum rather than having it over on THR.

I signed up.

My username is sulac0 (with a zero, not an o, somebody stole my username!)

My village is greyfield.

I think that's right.

So now what?

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.

Soon, I'll be able to train nobles to take over other's villages.

Any advice for the newbs?

Yes. Don't become a farm. grin

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.

Headless Thompson Gunner · « **Reply #94 on:** July 13, 2007, 07:02:53 PM »

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?

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).

Headless Thompson Gunner · « **Reply #96 on:** July 14, 2007, 08:44:58 AM »

Ok, that makes sense. I'd like to join your clan. I figure it's better to be your ally than your enemy.

Thanks for the help and advice.

Boy, don't I sound like a mean nasty character. grin

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'm literally double or triple the points of everybody within a couple hours travel.
