Tribal Wars!!! (World 1)

[mcatdog]

It seems like you're better off in the long run if you upgrade your resource production as much as possible, before you start building your army. Is it OK to just upgrade my hiding place all the way, and not even worry about defense while I keep upgrading resource production, so that if people attack me they won't get any resources from me? The hiding place upgrades are super cheap. Does getting attacked hurt me in any way, if all my resources are in my hiding place?

[Irisheyes]

How do I move resourcesfrom my warehouse into my hiding place?

Your hiding place automatically holds the maximum number of resources of its capacity. For example if your hiding place capacity is 300, and you have 500 wood, 400 clay, and 200 iron, then your hiding place would hold 300 wood, 300 clay, and 200 iron. If you got attacked then the attackers would take 200 wood and 100 clay.

correct, and it's important to note that the hiding place is part of your warehouse. Meaning, upgrading your hiding place doesn't increase the max number of resources you can hold.

In my experience the hiding place has been utterly useless (then again who would want to attack a badass mofo like me??)

Lukie could you answer this question please?

Sorry I missed this. If you're attacked, all your units in your base can still be killed. So I guess if you don't have any units and all your resources are in your hiding place then an attack shouldn't affect you at all, but neither of these are really practical as you play the game more. Luckily, defenders have a big advantage in this game, and walls only add to that.

so buildings cant be damaged?

[mcatdog]

OK, thanks. By the way, Irisheyes, I just noticed that my village is incredibly close to yours. I'm BillyBibbit, could one of you guys invite me to join the tribe?

k cool thanks.

[dwags222]

hmm...i will play in world 2 or whatever...i should probably read this more closely if i am going to get involved. this will give me something interesting to do while i am at work.

[dwags222]

when i try to make an account it only gives me an option to join world 1

[jyms]

when i try to make an account it only gives me an option to join world 1 Sad

[dwags222]

LOL...yeah i figured it out. so is everyone just pretty much chilling until world 2? is there any point in joining lukies tribe because i checked it out and he is really far away from me.

[Irisheyes]

World 2 opens tomorrow

[dwags222]

sweet... it would be cool if you could request coordinates so we could all be near each other. you think the new world will fill up very fast?

[EricE]

My basic spearmen move at 18mins per field. Is that 18mins per village size unit or 18mins per square (the size that you see on the basic map that contains a small number of villages)?

[bode]

so whats the plan on start time for tommorow

[dwags222]

ok i am asking a bunch of dumb questions but...here is another one. my hiding place is supposed to be able to hold 356 of each resource but it isn't full. is there a way to manually put resources in your hiding spot? if there is i cant figure out how. but i am dumb.

Walls and buildings can be damaged by rams and catapults, but you won't have to worry about that for a long time. They require a workshop to build, something I don't even have yet.

I've assumed that it goes something like this: if you click map and look at the right one, it would take 18 minutes per one of those squares. Not sure how they work diagonals. This is probably something I should be more familiar with given all the attacking I've done, but nope.

[Lukie]

when i try to make an account it only gives me an option to join world 1

try again tommorrow

[Lukie]

sweet... it would be cool if you could request coordinates so we could all be near each other. you think the new world will fill up very fast?

no, but I expect there to be a surge of players signing up tomorrow when it opens up, and many will probably be vets of world 1 like myself.

[Lukie]

everyone sign up asap? That's the best plan I can come up with.

Everything with the hiding spot is done automatically. If the capacity is 356 resources, that is 356 of each resource. Basically if you want to think of it in the simplest terms possible, the hiding spot is just a part of your warehouse that can't be plundered.

[dwags222]

sweet thanks...oh by the way since you are getting us all to play you should have posted one of those referal links that gets you 5 free days of premium service per referal...

[Lukie]

haha, you're a smarter man then I.

[dsmrolla06]

is the premium even worth getting? it doesn seem like it doesn anything spectacular

[mcatdog]

I just sent a few spearmen over to try and plunder an inactive guy next to me. The attack will happen in 5 minutes, I hope it works out.

[Lukie]

send a bunch, they have 25 carrying capacity so if you send 30 of them and their resources have been gathering for a while, you'll plunder 750 resources, 250 each.

[mcatdog]

This is just a test though, I'm worried that another guy might have support troops there. Many more will be on the way if this works.

[dwags222]

what is everyone's strategy for the begining of world 2. i dont know if you all already know this, but when you first start a village you are under beginers protection. i know because i tried plundering a village of a guy who only had 116 points. it said his protection lasted til july 25th. ok so, here is what i think is the best strategy. in the first 48 hours concentrate entirely on upgrading your clay and timber output. this will give you a large long term advantage. then, in the third day concentrate entirely on building defenses, which means a wall w/ upgrades and a whole bunch of spearmen. anyways...i think this will be my strategy on world 2. Comments? Better strategies?

[Lukie]

you can concentrate on resources for longer then 2 days, no doubt. As a very rough estimate, I'll probably throw down a barracks at the end of the 4th day or beginning of the 5th, give or take. Then spam out spearmen on the 5th and start plundering inactive players on the 6th. Gotta see how the game shapes up though.

[Lukie]

sweet thanks...oh by the way since you are getting us all to play you should have posted one of those referal links that gets you 5 free days of premium service per referal...

I still havn't found these.

[Lukie]

holla



this game is fun.

[Lukie]

now i need to figure out a way to transfer some of these monies over to world 2...

[Lukie]

btw I cancled the attack for now, gonna send it after I upgrade my light cavalry (AKA BEASTS).

[bigred]

I almost have light cavalry, 300 more iron!!!

[Lukie]

You will quickly fall in love with that unit.

[Galapogos]

You will quickly fall in love with my unit.

What the...?

[Irisheyes]

now i need to figure out a way to transfer some of these monies over to world 2...

neteller?

[Muxy]

i lol'ed for some crazy reason

[mcatdog]

OK, my timber/clay/iron are up to 20/20/15 now. Time to build an army and drop the hammer.

[bode]

so ive been getting attacked and raped of all my units. how can i alert the tribe to get some reinforcements.

[mcatdog]

I'll see if I can send you some support troops eventually, but you're a day's journey away from me and I won't really be able to spare the help for about two days. In the meantime I suggest that you upgrade your hiding place, your wall, and your resource production as much as you can. If you keep spending resources quickly enough, that they're always hidden in your hiding place, you should be all right. Don't build an army until someone sends you support.

[Lukie]

so ive been getting attacked and raped of all my units. how can i alert the tribe to get some reinforcements.

Who's been attacking you and with what kind of units? I just looked at your area, and you're allied with 2 of the stronger players over there.

btw I'd send a bunch of support troops but you're like 42 hours away for a scout, so probably about 3 days for foot soldiers.

[mcatdog]

yeah post screenshots of the battle reports please

[Lukie]

I cancled them last night in order to upgrade l cavalry to lvl 2, but I didn't have the resources at the time so I'm actually upgrading that right now. I might get some catapults in this bitch to really F this guy up. I did wipe out his much smaller earlier army awhile back with a big infantry attack, but I apoligized, but then he started bitching about me sending scouts at him, so I have a big grudge against him. I'm gonna wipe him off the map, soon.

what is a site i can upload the images to?[/img]

each guy has attacked twice. my wall is at 6, and i had just a few troops, but they were slaughtered

cant get the image link to work, sorry

[Lukie]

alright give me a few minutes here and ill get back to u

[Lukie]

ahhh man, I want to, but that shit is way too far for me to retalliate on them or for me to support you. An attack would take 4 days round trip, and suport would take almost that long just to get there.

What do you want to do about this?

My idea is to PM posicat (our leader) and tell him that he needs to talk to the leader of the sylvia tribe (both of those guys are apart of that), and tell him that if you get attacked again, I will retalliate in full force on the sylvia member(s) around me. I've found one, but have only looked at about 5 on their list. Up to you I guess, feel free to PM posicat yourself, and in the meantime, make yourself an unattractive target. Upgrade your wall and keep plunderable resources at 0.

[Lukie]

I just PM'd this to posicat. I'm such a badass mother****er.

Bode-ist is being attacked multiple times by 2 members of the sylvia tribe. I would like you to either talk to the leader of the tribe or these 2 and tell them to stop. If you don't, I will.

If he gets attacked again, I will retalliate on ALL sylvia members within reasonable distance from myself in full force. I probably will anyway just for good measure.

[dwags222]

nice, i can't wait to have a huge army so i can punish people for being diks. how big is your armie lukie??

[Lukie]

holla



this game is fun.

It's grown a bit.

[Lukie]

Bleh, there's only 1 guy in this ENTIRE tribe that is reasonably close enough for me to really put the hurt on. He's about 4 hours away for cavalry. The second closest is like 12 hours. The rest are very far.

There are a lot of sylva members by bode-ist. I'm thinking attacking that guy maybe isn't smart for his best interest. blaaaaaaaah.

[bode]

yeah, thanks for emailing posicat. ill just try and lay low for now, as im in a bad position.

[Lukie]

yeah, it looks like they are going to try to team up on the active players and put them down so they can farm and dominate the entire region. The best thing you can do is make it so it's dumb to attack you by getting your wall up and hiding place up, and keeping plunderable resources to 0, whenever possible. Then build up some defensive troops (swordsmen and spearmen). They've already set you back though, unfortunately.

[bode]

i just got attacked again, and there is an incoming attack from "the theater of dreams" who has like 1800 points, so im fucked. anyway, i spent all my resources, so all they will do is kill my whoping 8 spearmen.

[EricE]

Woot! I just plundered my first village. Sweet, I picked up all the resources of a 116 village (one that had not been upgraded since creation).
I am making some swordsman to send over to defend my farm.

I am going to do one more that is close.

[dwags222]

Another tribe of 98 people, is probably about to be anihlated because of a few members. The list of attacking tribes reads like the "top 25 list " of the server.

How did a tribe of 90+ get into a war with many of the game's top tribes?

2 of their villages decided they'd attack another tribe's village, they were asked by their duke, and by their duke of the other tribe involved to stop attacking. They continued, war was declared, allies were called in, and there will probably be 1 less tribe on this server in a couple days, maybe hours.

I just wanted everyone to be aware, check your targets before you attack, avoid large tribes, avoid training tribes (they're usually backed by large tribes). Small tribes 1-10 are USUALLY safe to attack. Single villages, and abandoned billages are perfect for farming.

And above all, if someone contacts you from the tribe you're attacking, don't just blow it off. If you're not sure of their strength, ask. I want to keep us growing, and protected, but a couple bad choices could really hurt our tribe.

...is this the tribe attacking bode-ist...i hope so lol

[Lukie]

nvm, found it, heruvim

[Lukie]

bode, don't even bother making units right now, there's no point. They will just wipe them out. Upgrade the wall and keep plunderable resources to 0. They'll stop attacking if you do that. I'm gonna pm posi again and tell him that if they don't stop attacking, I am going to retalliate on roy20.

[mcatdog]

I've been plundering three villages continuously for the last few days and now my army's morale is starting to drop. Does this even matter?

It is not abandoned but it will be at some point. I can send support to any village. I just have to make sure I recall that support before I farm it each time.

[Lukie]

This means they attack with less strength. It's kind of like a built-in handicap in the game. It doesn't really matter with raiding, unless you're attacking with just spearmen. If you attack with a small number of spearmen who have low morale, some die. Even into a defenseless vilage.

[EricE]

All the abandoned villages I have tried have been defended. Thats how I got the idea to occupy it. Claim it as my farm. I don't think attackers have any way of knowing whos forces are defending a village.

[Lukie]

Bode-ist, can you forward the attacks to me and posicat in the game?

[bode]

just got this from posicat in world 1. makes me feel like im listening to mel gibson give his speech at the end of braveheart.

*puts on blue face paint*

"This is OUR tribe, these are OUR villages, OUR good and dear friends. I pledge my heart, and my blood to defend them in the coming times, and expect that all members of the tribe will stand together should bad times come and battle be unavoidable.

Haha! That's exactly what I just came on here to post. Told you our group had a bit of a queer vibe going for it Lukie.

Please don't rat me out to the "Duke of Destiny" though!

[dwags222]

dude...i dont think i'm ready to bleed over an internet game. maybe i should quit now before this thing becomes dangerous.
