How To Survive The Fortnight

[Menatus]

 Misha is Menatus? That was just confusing. But, of course, that's the general feel around here. My tax rate is 10%, always has and will be. Even when I was loosing 6,000,000 a turn. I put it on 69% once and lost 70,000 workers on one turn!

[Misha]

 Actually, John, you can't attack me because I'm your Ally. ^_^ I'm a member of the Juska clan conglomerate, allies with VU.

[Menatus]

 Is it? Unless that's Falcon or something.

[Holby]

sorry Misha, but i'm going to attack you :)
Your sorta land fat.

Sorry, I thought you were talking to Menatus and called him/her Misha, as in the mario avatar, Arven person.

[Holby]

 

I had 10 mil Dragons, and 4M of other units in SG. And 6 leaders. ?:lol:

:)  That woulda been nice.
I used to have more leaders than you :P  ABout 12-15, then poeple attacked me, and I finished with zero :unsure:

(Apologies for the two posts in a row, I was trying to mention different things at different times, so I couldn't combine the two).

[Misha]

 How do you know I'm the "Arven person"? :blink: ... Strange. Do I go around giving out info on myself or something? Where did I say anything about Arv on the Terrouge Forum?

Oh well. Anyway, I just demolished some Huts and Barracks to make room for some Camps, Foragers, and Tents. I think I should demolish some of my Guard Towers to make room for more Markets. What building do I have too much of? I am only limited by the number of turns I have, really, so I can't just attack somebody to get more land. Not enough turns. And I think I have too much land already anyway. ^_^

[~>John<~]

 oh i can attack you right enough. u cant attack me cuz ur clan set usas an ally, but we didn't set you as an ally, so now I can attack you and u cant attack me

[Aden]

 Diplomacy and a good army are your best friends. Speak loud and carry a big stick. Be known around the community, and have people like you.

[Menatus]

 Don't attack someone who wouldn't attack you because they think you're an ally, like John is :P

[Holby]

 

Where did I say anything about Arv on the Terrouge Forum?

Am I right?
I'm sure you mentioned it there.
You started with something like "To those who don't know..."
That was between 4-6 months ago.

[Shael of Torethevel]

 Exactly. *agrees with all the things said before* I'm at rank #2, but that's all really owed to LARGE amounts of aid from Stormclaw, and some good amounts from Orcrist as well. My advice: Make A LOT of allies, because it's good to have some friends to back you up, but don't try to befriend everyone on the game. You need people to attack, and making friends with the people you attack can be classified as an oxymoron.  :D  Second, build lots and lots of guards. The more guards you have, the safer and securer(is that a word?) your networth will be. Also, keep a very good eye on your net income. Even the slightest drop gone unnoticed can cause terrible damage, and it can haunt you for the rest of the game. *knows this from experience* To prevent this from happening, build a good amount of markets and tents.

[Menatus]

 More secure, Shael =D. Would making a lot of tents help my income? I mean, I only lose like 200,000 per turn now (YAY!!!!! thanks, Shael!! I owe ya!)

[Misha]

 Yeah, John, those 1,700 something acres are MY rightful property. Give them back. :P ... <_<

But why are our diplomatic relations as screwed up as that? ...  :angry:

Holby: 4 to 6 months ago? Wow, you have good memory.

So, if I understand correctly, here is the order of buildings from most to least important when you first start:

-Barracks
-Guard Towers
-Huts
-Tents
-everything else

And once you've gotten going:

-Markets
-Camps
-Foragers
-Tents
-Guards
-Barracks
-Huts

And a good Training Setting is:

Rats: 8%
Weasels: 12%
Stoats: 55%
Skiffs: 25%

[Holby]

 When you first start you need to build markets . The markets give you money to pay for structures.
Forget about barracks for a little bit. Or maybe that's my mistake?

[~>John<~]

 ya the training settings are right, Misha, its a rule in my clan I can only attack a person 3 times a day...but really. You need markets at the start. As you buy more troops, your going to need to concentrate on foragers and markets. Once you have a steady economy, then you can start barracks
