Error 1312 started playing months ago and kinda forgot he was registered. Now he started playing again, with over 3000 turns , hundreds of citizens and millions of gold to his disposal... lucky him!

[Lacedaemonian]

I was just going to ask about how many turns can you accumilate. I guess there is not max cap on it.

Can somebody please explaint the term 'farming' to me? I have no idea what people are referring to.

Oh and I just turned level 6.

I was wondering who Error 1312 was. We really need a forum to discuss our alliance. Not sure Brian would appreciate us using his site for this means.

[cornelius]

I used to have a forum of my own, but it's dead now... maybe error1312 can revive it. I'll ask if he'd like to make a new forum for it, nothing fancy, just a plain basic one...

I'd spend some more money in the armory Lacedaemonian. A big army scares of the little players, but a well trained one can suprise the bigger ones..
My army is small, I must admit that, but hey, It's working

[Lacedaemonian]

Is there anything in particular I should be buying in the armoury?

Also what should I be targetting in the level ups?

I have not been attacked yet and do not expect to be in the near future. I always try to spend the coin as soon as I get it in large quantities and I am sure there are so many better targets out there.

How many miners do you have mate? Just curious as to whether or not this is a good way to make money.

[cornelius]

5, I use attacks to raise funds
miners are good , if you want to leave the game for a while and come back to find wealth

target players with small armies and millions first. in case of attacks on bigger players, spy first (assassinating is even better, but there's a three turn a day limit on that) I f your spies get caught, well there's a chance that the other parts of the army is well equiped too.

I am having some struggles as well, it ain't easy

if you can't handle a player, you could send the attacklog to a player with a higher level ( and above all, a better army) so that player can take them out. too bad the sharing of funds is limited, otherwhise we could be all swimming in cash cause of the succes of others.

Farming appears to be when someone just picks on someone else over & over again & uses them as a cashcow. I have my suspicions that there are a few multi accounts on there - peopl logon with a 2nd ID, all miners & no defense and then just rob them every so often. Of course, he runs the risk of others doing the same.

And I echo what Cornelius said, a smaller army can easily beat a larger one if equipped well (my army is half your size but has a higer offense, f'instance). Another example is earlier today when I targeted someone with 4M in cash and only 11 guards. However my 105 soldiers were beaten back by the 11 archers....so I assasinated them! Much easier after that! Shame I couldn't find a greek traitor to show me a back door...

[cornelius]

nice tactics there, winters_sorrow, I used them too
about the farming, my mistake, I knew that one but forgot to mention it

assasinating is a powerfull tool , if your level is a bit low

[Lacedaemonian]

Winter you seem to be flourishing at this game. Already assasinating soldiers....

I just carried out my first spy missions and assasinated 20 Archers. Well that's all she had to kill. Great fun. I attacked some dude before and got 3,000,000. I was shocked as I usually only get about 500,000 from a 10 turn attack.

Question of the day: What is the purpose of banking your money?

Oh and I am level 7 now. Way ahead of time. I just make sure I never carry any gold worth fighting over.

[cornelius]

how come your population is so big? I got like 85 people and that's it!

had like 18 million in one strike! that's like 1,8 million/ turn!

when money's in the bank, the others can't steal it.

[Lacedaemonian]

Thought as much.

18 million is massive. I just attacked someone with 23 million. Consequently I lost. My spy reported she had no defences other than 236 sentinels. Bugger.

I press the recruiter 350 times a day. Also I increase the number of housing. When you go into the recruiter it is best if you click on the Malazan Empire until you max that number. That way you are helping the Alliance.
