Anyone into slow strategy games?

HAULN-SS · 05-11-2007, 10:23 AM

I am pretty sure once the resources start flowing in, and the population gets up, it moves quite a bit faster. I'm already noticing that I have to upgrade a lot more often. Also - you are going to want to check your messages - the top right game icon. Sometimes you'll get a message like "upgrade X thing to level 3" and you get resource shipments for doing that..which helps a lot

I'm sorry to drag this back off...but you are looking for an ultimate goal of a 3/3 on the dlpt? I don't know of any jobs that are interested in anything less so it makes me wonder about your time table. How long do you think this will take. I know of a few good resources that it is possible you are not aware of.

Hey - yeah, if you have some resources i'd be glad to check them out. I'll PM you about some of the things I'm looking to accomplish. basically I've been self-studying here at work, and they have an intro class coming up I'm going to take.

Yyou can use your gold to boost production. It is in the plus section.

Do you know if there is a way to get more gold without paying money?

HAULN-SS · 05-11-2007, 11:55 AM

I'm not sure yet - there may be a way to do it once markets and trade are established, but I don't know. I kind of suspect there isn't, as I've noticed there are no advertisements, so I guess that's how they make money. You don't NEED gold to play, but it's kind of a convenience thing I guess. I thought about buying 100 gold just to keep the "plus" thing going, because it tells you a time when things can be upgraded, and lets you have a queue...which seem valuable..and for 6$ you could have all that stuff for like 2 1/2 months straight

OH NO! server went down, I was just about to upgrade me some wood.

15/21 lol. I can see how this could get a little more tedious as you get higher, definitely need to be able to micromanage. Seems fun though.

Im at 36,83

HAULN-SS · 05-11-2007, 12:27 PM

lol..damn, i never thought this many of you would have signed up. we're going to have a hell of an alliance..too bad so spread out - but later on you can establish villages in other places...so that may not matter as much.

Well I didn't see a place in the signup where you can specify what coords you wanted. All i saw was pick a quadrant, and me being an idiot didnt really stop to try and figure out where you were lol. But I do like the game, its nice to log in in the morning and have some more resources to mess around with.

At this point my village has 18/30 people. Pulling in 11/17/11/12 respectively. Built a Embassy, Granary, and Warehouse. I would do more but my I've used most of my resources =-(. Gotta wait for em to get back up.

Stats tool I found for the game - will be more handy later on...

HAULN-SS · 05-11-2007, 05:37 PM

D_Eclipse9916 · 05-11-2007, 11:08 PM

lol definite boredom at work here. At work all day, had to go to my gf's sister's play and then I got work at 7AM so I cant go out. I got an embassy, my name is eclipsor, set up an alliance. This works for me, I can go on there every now and then within 2 minutes gt everything done like checking my mail.

**Mike** · 05-12-2007, 08:55 AM

edit: this was a reply to an old post apparently.

HAULN-SS · 05-12-2007, 09:39 AM

Can't install anything at work..plus, this is against real people

BLINGMW · 05-12-2007, 11:04 AM

damn I love it when "merchants from your homeland have arrived"... should I expect that to happen every day?

HAULN-SS · 05-12-2007, 11:08 AM

As far as I can tell it happens at random intervals when you complete the objectives - they'll send you a message in your inbox saying to "level a crop to lvl 3" or some such thing..do that, and you'll either get one big shipment, or like 3 spaced out smaller ones
