The XMARKS tribe!!

lol my Paladin is ready. Now what to name him??...hmmm....

OK, everybody up through Scott Gilmore has been invited (I think!). If you still need an invite, send me a PM here or mail on TW.

And since we are all so spread out, either we will die quickly as a tribe, or be able to attack on multiple fronts and take over the whole world!

Anybody have any experience on what will prevent somebody from plundering you after the 4 day protection window? I have been building up on an even basis with a wall, smithy, fighters, increased production etc., and would hate to lose it all 5 minutes after protection expires!

The TW help page says a bigger Hiding Place and at least 1200 spearmen and 1200 swordsmen should do it.

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

1200 Spearmen and 1200 swordsmen! How in the he!! can you do that. You could not raise that many fighters in the first 4 days if you did nothing else. Not arguing that is what it says, but lets be real. It takes at least 15-18 minutes to make each fighter, assuming unlimited resources. Lets call it 4 per hour, then that is 96 per day. So the max you could manage in the first 4 days is 384. And this is not taking any resources for anything else.

Correction, Scott Gilmore, I am not finding a player by that name. Did you join World 5!

[cloves]

oh crap, i have like 10 spearmen...i'm doomed.
I'm just gonna build the hell out of my wall. If I get taken over, then I quit.

I wonder if you can steal an army.....er, what I mean is, is it possible to attack even smaller villages with just a handful of your own warrriors?

Hm. I really don't know, then. Help page is probably wrong.

[twinkletowz]

contact your neighbors and ask for help or non agression treatise. I believe that is the spirit of the game is comunication and cooperation.

Also I was reading the forums. The guys with huge armies and multiple villages suggest not trying to invade or steal anything until you have a stables and can produce Scout units. They go into a village, and will report exactly what they have. Then using the simulator, determine if it's worth the risk of loss to plunder. Minimum numbers to invade with was different based on what type of troops you have. I have a dozen swordsmen, my paladin, a dozen spearman, and building about 10 axemen right now.

what are your stats at LordKiltClad? anyway you can do a "print screen" and post what it looks like? I can't recruit anything other the spearmen at the moment. What buildings did you complete to get the swordsmen?
