Intelligence (report enemy cities here)

[Pika-Cthulhu]

Just a minor heads up, if you want to screw with people when out scouting, send a small group of Dragoons with one hero on a zep. When you see a mandrake planation, drop your hero, put one dragoon onto him, and gather the Mandrake/destroy it. The one dragoon is so it will not cost too much to move him back to the Zep, the Dragoon is because of the increased move meaning faster AP regen. The hero and dragoon is to destroy/thieve their Mandrake and be a dick.

I hadn't thought of that. Should have picked up a dragoon before setting off.

been travelling a bit and found one of the templars

from the city placement it looks like he's prioritizing his navy

Looks more like he's a moron since a few cells down he'd have had easy access to wood, stone and water.

 

[Malakal]

Which continent is he on? Lets raid him.

yeah... was going to write that but thought i'd give him the benefit of the doubt

...oh and as he's larping portugal... the placement looks about right with the coastline and everything

Which continent is he on? Lets raid him.

25 ... i don't know about raiding that... doesn't look all that profitable

 

[Humanophage]

It would be quite convenient to raid him, yes. It's such a shame to destroy all those relatively active players. Especially considering the fact that his clan is the only one other than us and Elite that has over 2 people. He does look profitable with that metropolis of his.

 

[Malakal]

Just some burnin and lovin and forced vassalage then?

 

[Tycn]

Not sure if our Kresp-given right to level unaligned settlements applies here. I just hope that the game takes off and gives us a healthy supply of players to diplomatise or do battle with.

There are many cities in the lower left continent, but the location is not really conducive to raiding.

 

[Humanophage]

I've been intending to launch a promotional campaign of the game at various forums, but I don't have a lot of time on my hands at the moment.

The scheme could be like this: I make a thread about the game on a number of forums, post the links, and those who can go there and bump the thread occasionally with their comments. It can actually be quite fun if the forum is either intelligent enough or stupid enough: http://www.onrpg.com/boards/171479-4/

 

[Tycn]

That forum seems to validate my hypothesis that you can approximate the intelligence of a poster by dividing average post length by signature height. At any rate, I'd be happy to help.

Damn. I hope TB looks like that in a year.

 

[Fens]

found another templar just a little southeast of the first one

 

[Tycn]

Added all of those. Also found 6 more Elite settlements from snapshots.

 

[Fens]

found nogach

additional info: he has four mandrake fields and both his cities are set to auto-attack

 

[Katana_LOL]

Im in the process of poking Inq, ive killed one of his swords men, and am going to poke at his city, lets hope this works out!

 

[Malakal]

He probably has 10k walls...

Anyway directly east of the island is lotr clan with its 3 cities by Merlin. Raid or not? Didnt make screens sorry, but its eastern part of the continent.

 

[Katana_LOL]

Ive killed 3 of Inq's heroes one was his Mage hero (FUCKING LOL i know!) ive just started stealing from his stores, get in while its hot! Scrod is on his way with some help for me, but i fear that i will have removed his main city before that happens

 

[Fens]

your friendly neighbourhood stalker brings you:

shownoff

[edit]not on the screenshot: hero souruchelli, lvl 9, few landsknechts

[edit2]nearly missed his third one

 

[laclongquan]

shownoff sell some cheap wood, if I remember correctly.

 

[Malakal]

shownoff sells a lot of cheap goods, raiding him is counterproductive IMO - I actually bought things from him at below the production prices!

 

[laclongquan]

The man must have invested all his resources into factory and roads to be pushing out that cheap goods. If you would be so kind as to refrain from raiding him?

 

[Katana_LOL]

Or and im just throwing this out there, raid him, but wait and dont buy from him for a while, steal his shit like a bloke in detroit!

 

[Fens]

his cities aren't particularly well placed when it comes to resource gathering (penwest has two wood squares adjacent, velvick has none and calmness has 0 as well... stone is even worse)... he probably needs the money to buy stone

 

[Fens]

found another unaligned:

(he must have more than this village in the hinterland)

 

[Fens]

templars are fortifying their coasts

punkgirl has citadels at 139 / 490 and 124 / 498
